Which stores have the best selection?

I used to go to Party City to find fun balloons in various shapes and other party decor for my dads birthday. Where else can we go now?

I cooked a very large sea bass (1.15 pounds) and cut it into three pieces last night. Baked at 450 for about 20 minutes. I noticed my piece wasn’t 100 percent cooked/not as flaky as I’d like, but everyone else said theirs was good. I’m nervous I poisoned everyone. Has anyone gotten sick from undercooked sea bass? I didn’t have access to a thermometer so I’m nervous now.

I really hate cooking in other peoples kitchens but I’m a guest at someone’s home and they asked me to help now I’m in panic mode that they will be ill!

Is there a group of people who go to the Everglades, Cork Screw or other areas to get great shots? Looking for a group of locals. Just for fun, amateurs who may want to take pictures and share afterwards.

I’ve been selling with pick up only lately. I do not have or want PayPal. I don’t have a scale. I could take payment via Venmo or Zelle. What is the simplest and pain free way you have added shipping to your offer? If you don’t mind laying it out in steps it would be helpful! I’m curious to find an analog option (is USPS or UPS for FedEx better?).

What type of seat cover has anyone purchased? I need something better than an old towel for driving wet after a swim.

I’ve lived in my home for a long time but an electrician suggested I get extra surge protection for my home. I called FPL and they want $12 a month extra to install the protector to the meter. It does not protect against a direct lightening strike. It only protects against a surge through the transformer and meter (frankly shouldn’t that be on them anyway?)….

Does everyone buy this added “protection”?

If any locals would like to give aid please tomorrow is the LAST DAY to drop off items to Silva’s Bakery on Tamiami Trail. We just dropped off flash lights and batteries - also in need are first aid kits, water purification tablets etc.

We have family coming to visit in July with a 22 month old. I know the children’s museum would be fun, maybe early beach and botanical garden walks- anything else to do?
It will be very hot and humid so I could use some other ideas…

And places to eat with a toddler in hand? We plan to go to Docks, Brooks Burgers - and eat at diners for breakfast and lunch.

Why does this keep happening? It keeps asking me to log in and that my password is incorrect. It is correct! I actually logged into my laptop and changed it a couple of weeks ago and it’s asking me to do this again.

Very annoying!
