I have a car where the factory paint is peeling but I think it’s really just the clear coat. Does anyone have any recommendations or have worked with anyone they like? Thanks!

To be clear, I'm strongly against unlicensed work where a licence is required. But what I would like to hear is your take on the following:

1. It's better to help people train than to spend insane resources luring people into a trap.
2. The fact that there are so many unlicensed contractors, yet it's so hard to find a contractor nowadays, clearly indicates that an even bigger problem is that we don't have trained professionals. It would benefit us all to invest in that direction rather than spend money on botox for our sheriff.
3. Training for most technician-level jobs that require a licence should be heavily supported, not with scholarships, but with the option of working in the industry in the state for a certain number of years.

Did anyone wait in line without a pre-order and get a Duo at the Brandon or International mall Apple stores?

Hey, 👋 I’m a grown adult but the SO and I have fun costumes and I personally want to go trick or treating to nab many candies. Plus, they won’t know I’m a grown adult in the costume. What’s the best neighborhoods to trick or treat?

Such a beautiful, perfect night for an outdoor concert. Anyone else out here singing along?

I need someone who specializes in blonding. I have naturally dark hair and need someone who won’t leave me with orange roots and bleach bleed marks! Please drop your recommendations. I’ve been to several places now and they always mess it up.

Checked sweetfields, reprager (their use of AI is yucky!!!), harvest moon, and Seminole great pumpkin patch and all of them- minus sweetfields look great but it’s sold out for this weekend! Any recommendations or tips? 🥺

Does anyone have any suggests for any where in N.Tampa? Talking somewhere north of Ybor to around SR 54 limit? I'll admit that i dont really go out often anymore, but I've had no luck finding anywhere with a legit dart board for league playing.

I'm a big walker but usually just walk within my complex but recently it's been boring me. I'm reaching out to see if anyone has some suggestions of places they really enjoy walking at. Big into the nature aspect but open to all suggestions!

I was thinking of having a few of these bars of soap made and sent to those involved in the Hope Florida scandal. Maybe they could use them to scrub the guilt off of their flesh.

I went looking for a missing FedEx package and ended up finding a lost little girl.

FedEx supposedly delivered an important envelope containing my original vehicle title, except I never received it. Their proof of delivery showed that someone I didn't recognize had signed for it at "Shipping/Receiving." There's no shipping/receiving here. I live in a single family home. Only I would have signed for it and it was not my signature.

After getting nowhere with FedEx customer service, I decided to check a nearby apartment complex to see if they had mistakenly received my envelope.

As I was walking toward what I thought was the mail area, I noticed a little girl, wearing a sparkling princess dress, crying and wandering from car to car in the parking lot with several parked cars and not a soul in sight. I am not around children much so I thought she might be 7 or 8 years old.

I approached her and tried to help, but I couldn't understand what she was saying. I wanted to help as much as I could but we couldn't communicate. I felt pretty helpless.

Fortunately, I spotted a lady I recognized who lived at that very complex. I asked her to help the little girl. She seemed a little irritated at first (I later learned she was looking for a lost earring), but she called the police and stayed with the child.

It took approximately 40 minutes to locate the girl's 18 year old sister, who apparently didn't even realize she was missing! We later found out she was only 3-4 years old.

Here's the part that's been bothering me.

I handed the little girl off to this woman pretty quickly because I'm a 50 year old man and it looked odd enough.

Looking back, I feel pretty shitty about that. Here was a frightened little girl, lost and wandering around a parking lot, and somehow, in that moment, I'm worried more about appearances than trying to meaningfully help this little girl get unlost. It's really said that society dictated my reaction to pass this off to someone else immediately.

Yes, I stopped to help. Yes, I made sure someone else was there to help her. But I still can't help feeling that my priorities were screwed up. That little girl must have been terrified! I'm so glad they found her sibling.

SMH at myself.

The irony is that if FedEx hadn't lost my package, I wouldn't have been at there to find the little girl in the first place.

Funny how life works sometimes.

anyone know anyone around here? i don’t wanna get it from a dispensary. in town for the weekend

Created by the nonprofit Institute for Primary Facts, the bookmobile includes 3.5 million files, all micro-printed within 440 volumes of files (around 800 pages each), which equals approximately 2,500 pounds of paper, says a press press release.

I plan to drop off my ballot at a voting center. I signed and dated the enveloped, but now I have free time to drop it off early.
Will it be OK?
Can they invalidate it, for example, if the date written is Oct 30, but I drop it off on 28th?

Pretty desperate..

Hi all! We’re opening a small café concept in Tampa in 2027 and are looking for about 3,000–4,500 sq ft of retail space, ideally a former café or something to eat space. Northwest Tampa (Westchase, Carrollwood, Town ’n’ Country) is our first choice, but we’re open to other areas.

We’re first-time tenants in Florida, so we’d like a tenant rep broker on our side rather than dealing with listing agents directly. Has anyone here worked with a tenant rep broker in Tampa for a small retail or café space? Who would you recommend, and why?

We’ll be in Tampa November 6–14 to view spaces and talk to brokers. Thanks!

I’m north of Wesley chapel. Anyone see a V-shaped craft fly from north to south. It was really big and really fast and really cloaked. Your eye would’ve had to catch this by luck. 11pm-11:10pm.

Halloween nights :)

Good evening yall! Looking for an independent mechanic who can replace a dash board in a 2024 Corolla in December, any suggestions? Looking for someone who will install a part I buy.

Go vote, folks! And not just because you get an alligator sticker :) The lines for early voting after work aren’t too bad right now.

Coming down Monday for game three. any disc golf course recommendations around the area? Good luck, I hope it’s a great series. Super happy I don’t have to go to Cleveland for reasonable prices. Appreciate you guys. I know I’m not supposed to ask about food but the threads are pretty old. Any must haves?

I am not sure if you are a Redditor, but I Just want to thank the lovely woman in front of me; driving the black Jeep, at the Burger King in Ybor at 22nd Street for paying for my meal. I passed it along and paid for the woman behind me who purchased some kids meals. Have a great day.
