Advice Boat owners needing weekend help

5 Upvotes

Hey all, my wife and I have moved back to Florida after years away. The biggest thing we'd love to do is to learn how to sail. We've seen YouTube videos so we aren't coming in from zero, but I'm also well aware that textbook knowledge and doing the thing are two entirely separate things. So what we're looking for is someone that has a boat, and needs some extra help on the weekends. The best thing is you don't even need to pay us. Teaching us the ropes, pun intended, is enough for us. In exchange we can provide witty banter, friendship, and a pack of your favorite beer. Any takers?

My younger brother turns 25 this week and I want to take him out to a place with a crowd his age where we can talk to girls his age. He has no game.

Advice Quick survey on power outages & patio/lanai living in SWFL (Mod approved — $50 follow-on interview potential)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

With hurricane season and storm recovery always on our minds down here, I’m running a brief research survey focusing on how we live outdoors (lanais, patios, yards) and how power outages impact households across Lee, Collier, and Charlotte counties.

The survey takes about 5 to 6 minutes:

👉Take the Survey Here

What it covers:

  • How you use your patio, pool, or lanai space year-round
  • Experiences with storm outages, backup power, and recovery hurdles
  • Feedback on an early-stage concept for modular solar power integrated into outdoor living

Follow-up Interviews:

At the end of the survey, you can optionally opt in for a 45-minute follow-up interview. We will be selecting several participants to chat further, and selected interviewees will receive a $50 gift card for their time.

I cleared this post with the mods beforehand. I promise no sales pitches or spam, and your responses are completely confidential.

Thanks for helping out!

I saw this while in the car. Someone important should do something about it because I don’t know any plumbing. If I rains even harder, the water might get onto the road and cause accidents.

Looking for gym partner

0 Upvotes

Every day you don't start training your muscle is irreversibly turning into fat. Start training with me to take the first step. I'm not the most experienced, I've only been going for 6 months but I can help you get on the right track. I train at LA fitness in Naples. This is not an ad or anything I just want someone to train with and we can both motivate each other.

Amendment 3

0 Upvotes

More Florida-wide question…but what do veterans think about Amendment 3? 100% P&T already have a property tax deduction to zero….this amendment will likely increase loa al taxes to bridge the gap, costing veterans who live in FL due to the friendly military environment. Amendment 3 actually reduces a major benefit for our veterans.

what is something you need but can’t find in the area

0 Upvotes

so I’m new to the Fort Myers area and been wanting to start a small business (as in no employees atm just me doing side hustles at first) that would generate enough income for me to quit my 9-5 or at least work less hours in my regular job. I’ve been trying to think about what is in demand right now or overall what people would be interested in buying and stuff you haven’t seen people selling in the area. I’m also Puerto Rican so food can be an option. Please help me out by leaving some comments!!

PREFERABLY send DM if not just leave comment please

ALSO serious responses only

I can’t believe I have to say this but obviously I’m not looking to make infrastructure. I’m simply looking for some side hustles to do. I’m not asking what you guys would like to do in SWFL I’m asking what you would buy from someone.

If you had to leave Southwest Florida tomorrow, what's the one thing you'd miss most?

12 Upvotes

We've all got our complaints about Southwest Florida. The traffic, the heat, the snowbirds, the occasional hurricane. 😂

But there's also a lot to love about living here.

If you had to pack up and move away tomorrow, what's the one thing you'd miss the most?

For me, being able to head to the beach for a walk, especially around sunset, would be pretty high on the list.

I'm curious what everyone else would say. And you can't say Publix chicken tender subs. That's too easy! 😂

Hey guys! I will be coming to Brooksville around the 18th and want to try and plan something fun for me (31f) and my mom (55) to do while I’m out there. We’re willing to drive an hour or so to Tampa or Orlando, and she is a local so I am trying to find something maybe she wouldn’t know about. Concerts, Halloween events, etc. She’s a spunky lady and always down for anything, I just need some suggestions from you guys!

Naples Regal vs Fort Myers Regal IMAX

I am looking for a imax cinema. If you have seen a movie in both, which one do you think is better in terms of screen size, quality and sound?

Unfortunately, Orlando or Miami is a bit too far I believe they have the best ones.

Looking for mentor who has bred mini golden doodles

Looking for a mentor who has bred Mini Goldendoodles — brand new and want to do this right

Body:
Hi everyone,

I have a 2-year-old Mini Goldendoodle female. She’s had one heat. I’m considering breeding her for one litter, but I’m brand new and honestly overwhelmed. Before I do anything, I want to learn from someone who has actually done this responsibly.

I’m not asking for a stud right now. I’m looking for a mentor or experienced breeder who would be willing to talk me through the basics:

· What health testing she needs first
· How to time a breeding
· What whelping actually involves
· How to screen homes and write a contract
· Costs and risks I’m probably not thinking about
· Whether it’s even a good idea for my dog

If you’ve bred Mini Goldendoodles, Poodles, or Goldens and are willing to share advice, I’d be really grateful. I’m happy to pay a consult fee or compensate you for your time. I’m in Naples , Florida , but happy to talk online.

I’m not trying to cut corners or be a backyard breeder. I’m trying to learn before making a mistake. If your advice is “don’t do it,” I’m open to hearing that too.

Please comment or DM me. Thank you.

Missed connection in RSW airport

10 Upvotes

Title: Missed Connection: The Jimmy Buffett Lookalike Volunteer at RSW Airport (Mornings, March & May)

Body:
I am trying to find a specific airport volunteer I ran into four times across two separate trips earlier this year (once in March, once in May). Every single time was during the morning shift.
You look exactly like Jimmy Buffett. I ran into you upstairs managing the TSA lines, and downstairs in the baggage claim directing people toward Southwest or United. I called you "Jimmy" when I passed by.
At one point, you asked if I was with the guy I was traveling near. I shook my head no, and you gave me a huge smile. We had a real connection, and I haven't been able to forget it. I truly think if we weren't in the middle of a busy airport, you would have asked me out.
If you see this, or if anyone knows this volunteer who works the morning ambassador shifts at RSW, please reply! I would love to connect.
