        No doubt that stopping drinking will shed weight. That's a lot of calories you're drinking. For me, I lost a bunch of weight when I quit soda. - Krusty Jul 6, 08:16

So if we leave for OBX at 5 am on Saturday, we should get to the bridge at about 11. Traffic starts backing up by 10. - znufrii 🦄 Jul 6, 07:29 14

  - I got that one as well. Not what I'm looking for, obviously. I'm really surprised there's no sneaker discussions going on when it's quite popular - Krusty Jul 6, 07:24

        Seems so. -- nm - Krusty Jul 6, 07:27 3

    - What's that cage thing? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 6, 07:45 2
      - Giant screened in porch. To keep the giant mutant FL bugs away. -- nm - sycor Jul 6, 07:47 1
        
        And the gators -- nm* - ty97 Jul 6, 07:54
    - really good color. I like that carved headboard (I think andrea does too). -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Jul 6, 07:30 2
      - It has what Mom wants (white kitchen, pool, lanai cage, on a lake) and something she's always loved but never had (front porch to sit on) -- nm* - ty97 Jul 6, 07:32 1
        
        I'm sure the alligators love lounging in that pool -- nm - decline Jul 6, 07:49
- so their lease will not be their lease correct? the company just comes and gets their panels. Who repairs the roof? Odd system. -- nm - Pippy Quintas Jul 6, 07:18 2
  - You have to take over the lease unless it is bought out. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 6, 07:42
  - Sounds like the lease goes with the house? Unclear. -- nm - ty97 Jul 6, 07:18
- That's ridiculous on the solar. Your parents should ask to buy out the solar prior to sale (if they are serious about the property) -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 6, 07:17 2
  - It could maybe be worth it depending on the production amount. (although I agree I wouldn't lease) -- nm* - Reagen Jul 6, 07:25
  - Between the location not being ideal and the solar cost, I think they've ruled that house out. -- nm - ty97 Jul 6, 07:18
- The sun is a scam -- nm - oblique Jul 6, 07:16 21
  - Yeah, it's a scam all right (with a few exceptions, of course). - Dark Callisto 🦊 Jul 6, 07:25
  - stars aren't real. -- nm - mud Jul 6, 07:16
  - Florida is a scam. But my parents like the lack of 1) winter 2) income tax -- nm - ty97 Jul 6, 07:16 18
    - do retirees have income to tax ? -- nm - decline Jul 6, 07:19 2
      - Most of their retirement isn't in Roth accounts, so yes. - ty97 Jul 6, 07:22
      - Pension? Retirement? I don't know how that stuff works. -- nm - sycor Jul 6, 07:20
    - Tik Tok is telling me that home insurnace has tripled in price and companies are pulling out all together. And the insurance board is hiding these - Pippy Quintas Jul 6, 07:19 1

        And taxes that don't exist for some of us. -- nm - Krusty Jul 6, 07:28
      - But it sounds nice doesn't it? - ty97 Jul 6, 07:19 9
        
        It doesn't as I like the things that taxes pay for like sanitation picking up my garbage three days a week. -- nm - Krusty Jul 6, 07:20 8
        
        Three days a week? Man I'm getting ripped off. -- nm - sycor Jul 6, 07:21 7
        
        For me they come on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Also, every day is bulk garbage day. Sadly, they haven't started e-waste pickup again so we have - Krusty Jul 6, 07:27 5

        I have to bring it to the curb so I know my days. I assume you have a garbage room and don't have to bring it out yourself so it doesn't - Krusty Jul 6, 07:30 3
        
        Yeah, we have a garbage room. I chat with the guy who puts it out sometimes. Building got ticketed not long ago for putting it out before 8pm. -- (edited) - ty97 Jul 6, 07:37 2
        
        People suck. The building should speak with the people that don't separate their garbage and let them know if they get a ticket it's going to them. - Krusty Jul 6, 07:42 1
        
        Heard our super talking with the leasing agent for the building last week before I left town. Sounded liked they were going to put reminder signs up. - ty97 Jul 6, 07:44
        
        Our places are small! We have nowhere to store a week of garbage and recycling! - ty97 Jul 6, 07:23

I found a bag yesterday outside my place. There's a wallet with ID and I'm pretty sure I found her on FB but she hasn't used it since 2014. - Krusty Jul 6, 06:40 17
- Are you close to one of the banks? I’d ask them to look her up and give her a call. They’ll more than likely have her current info. -- nm - kelly Jul 6, 07:09 1
  - Sadly, no. It's a smaller bank so not Chase or Citibank where there are a bunch of branches. -- nm - Krusty Jul 6, 07:10
- Maybe she was kidnapped and dropped her bad. I hear big cities are scary and people disappear all the time. - sycor Jul 6, 06:51 4
  - Her ID is from Maryland so it's a bit of a long walk. She moved here it seems as she has a local library card and NY bank cards. -- nm - Krusty Jul 6, 07:04 3
    - Oh yeah, derp. Reading is fundamental! -- nm - sycor Jul 6, 07:05 2
      - :-) I made a good effort but she's not active on social media and there aren't any business cards or anything with a way to reach her so it's going to - Krusty Jul 6, 07:08 1
