100 day update. Still iso friends

So I posted looking for friends 100 days ago, it was pretty unsuccessful. I’m still here, friendless. I love driving through the Ocala national forest, I love eating good, love music, I’m pretty easy going. I’m 37, open to friends or whatever.

The Remedy Dog Bar

Anyone else here check out The Remedy Dog Bar on East Silver Springs? They have a 5,000 square foot outdoor area for dogs with a full bar. They also have fantastic food. Shout out to the Mac Daddy!!!!

I have a 55 pound Catahoula/Lab Mix, and two Chihuahua/Dachshund mixes that need friends!

I always see a ton of posts about trying to make friends in Ocala. Remedy is the perfect place because it brings people from all ages together. I have lived here for over 4 years and never really met anyone but I’ve already met some really great people there.

Golf stop

Hi all,

Planning a road trip in December with dad starting from ATL and I was thinking that Ocala is about middle ground to make a stop. We're planning to leave early Sat morning and hoping to crunch in a round of golf starting around noon till sunset. Any recommendations where to go? Not looking for anything pristine but it'd be nice to get decent conditions and a feel for FL golf.
My basic search is showing Ocala Golf Club, Golden Hills (though read they're going private? idk if they'll be open December 12), Ocala Palms, Stone Creek. Would appreciate any input thank you!

Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

It's worth the drive to Gainesville

The largest used book sale in Florida, and possibly in the South, is only 38 miles away from Ocala!

  Come out to Gainesville and check out the Friends of the Library Fall Book Sale event on Oct 24-28.  More than 500,000 books, records, games, CDs, DVDs, audio, paintings, posters, prints, puzzles, comics, manga and magazines have been donated for the sale!   There is a large section of children's books. The Collector's Corner contains signed books, first editions and a large selection of Florida-related materials.  Hours are 9-6PM on Saturday, and 12-6PM the other four days of the sale.  See the website for more details. Hope to see you there!

Career advice based on college transcript??

I graduate with a BA in environmental studies April 2027. I would have done a BS in environmental science but it would have added another year to my BA graduation date. I’m ready to start work next year. I haven’t worked in 6 years because I had 3 kids who will be in child care or school by next year.

I just want to work a career that I will be happy in. Remote work is great but if I could work close to home (Ocala,FL) that would be good as well. My husband is an electrician and we bought a house last year so we’re ok financially. I would love to purse a masters degree once I get back into the workforce & while my kids are young. ( ages 2,3& 6)

Just a shot in the dark, want to get peoples opinions on what career best fits my college transcript. My problem is I see myself doing everything but I am limited with my lifestyle. I want to actually use my degree, I just need some career advice. Thank you!

Classes I’ve taken best basic education courses like history, American govt, humanities, 1 math course, English 1 & 2, Spanish 1 & 2, basic computer course plus psychology include:

Human growth development
Technical writing
Public speaking
Intro to religion

Chosen Electives:

Free this weekend? Come get Democrats elected

We have online and in-person volunteer events specifically for outreach at The Villages going on this weekend.

The Marion Democratic Party needs volunteers to remind Dem voters that the last day to reapply for vote-by-mail is Thursday 10/5.

Ways to volunteer:

Make phone calls from home using a Phone Bank system. I can help you get started.

Drop off literature at Dem doors near you in The Villages, no door knocking involved. A route and materials will be provided.

Becoming a Neighborhood Link in your neighborhood to keep your Dem neighbors informed and enthused about voting.

If interested please contact Rosie 860-833-2175

Interesting difference in info provided by candidates

I've just finished researching the views of the candidates on my (Marion County) ballot on VOTE411.org, a website sponsored by the League of Woman Voters which sent a questionnaire on various issues to them. I find it interesting that all the Democrat candidates responded, but not a single one of the Republican candidates did so. Makes you wonder which Party is most interested in having an informed electorate.

The deadline to register for the November 3 midterm election is Monday, October 5!

If you are not already registered to vote, you have until end of business (or 11:59pm if registering online) this coming Monday, October 5, to register and qualify to vote in the November 3, 2026 election. Florida law requires a voter to be registered at least 29 days before the next election they will participate in. https://www.votemarion.gov/307/Register-to-Vote

Early voting runs daily from October 22 to October 31 from 10am-6pm at 9 participating voting stations. Because not all stations participate in early voting, any voter may report to any participating station to vote early, even if their assigned station participates. Those waiting until Election Day to vote must report to their assigned station. https://www.votemarion.gov/317/Vote-Early

Voters planning to vote by mail must request their ballot by Saturday, October 24, though it is recommended to do so as soon as possible. USPS recommends mailing back a completed ballot no later than 7 days before Election Day. https://www.votemarion.gov/177/Vote-By-Mail
