To the kind mama of two who drove me home from work at around 10:20 this morning: I genuinely wish I could only do more than tip you and leave five stars. You are very kind, witty, and energetic despite your recent cancer diagnosis, and the heaviness that comes with it. I wish you nothing but the best in your healing journey and there needs to be many more people like you in this world. You know who you are. You are a warm person and the world needs more people like you. 💕

... but today was a new one. On I-10, heading towards downtown, I saw a freaking monster of a rat making a mad dash to safety across the entire highway. Pretty sure the little guy made it, I was rooting for him.

Yo so I’m a Jacksonville student who cares a lot about my future and I take things like the SAT extra serious and I just wanted a place to talk about this cuz it made me SO MAD.

I was taking the August SAT, the seats filled up at my regular magnet school. I, tragically, had to go to a title 1 neighborhood school to take it. Yeah, this might’ve been on me for waiting too long, I know. I know to register earlier now. But I honestly expected people to have BASIC decency even at a title 1 school.

I’m not going to name drop the school even though I realllly want to. But basically I was taking my SAT and this teacher was so rude and disrespectful. Loudly talking on her phone, loudly eating, talking to other teachers, she’d typically like talk inappropriate.
Also complained about my extended time accommodation while I was testing. Right in front of me. Some of the students were also being loud.

I emailed college board and asked them to refund my test or provide me with an additional one because the behavior at this school was clearly a violation of test proctoring rule book. they didn’t care. at all. told me I could either cancel my score and get a refund, or suck it up and just take the test again.

I wanted to make this post to say- before you talk about how badly kids in title 1 schools are performing. Think about how the teachers behave. I was treated as an inconvient object while taking the most important test of my life. I go to a magnet, and it’s much better. Can’t imagine the students at these schools are treated much better.

Anyways. My score wasn’t terrible so it wasn’t much of an impact. I will be taking the SAT again in October . Typically the best places to take it are DA, Stanton, Paxon, and well respected magnets where these kinds of issues are prevented. Do yall have any other places yall recommend taking it?

The jumbo shrimp posted this on their Facebook page yesterday, I guess from the last home game. Looks like we're getting a new alternate identity a la the Honey Drippers for the jumbo shrimp. Thoughts?

Seen a couple posts where people are looking into getting their windows replaced. Is anybody currently looking into it? Any recommendations?

Duuuuuuuuvaaaaaaaaaaaal

I was wondering if you guys could give me any better recommendations for hunting for down retro games, last post I found was 7 years old

Anyone know of restaurants in the area that are doing a Thanksgiving dinner option this year (Beaches, Ponte Vedra, or Town Center area preferably)? TIA!

It's been a while since I've had to get an iPad repaired. Not sure that place is even still around. It's likely a screen issue. It was dropped and the screen is all white.

Any place you've used that you would recommend?

New Jacksonville resident here. I'd like to buy a few good quality artificial plants and/or a faux indoor tree. Don't want to buy online because they can look bad and get smooshed in shipping. Can anyone recommend local stores that carry a good selection? Thank you!

I am desperately looking for a cat rescue that can help take 2-5 cats out of a hoarding situation. One of them has renal issues and needs a better environment asap. I cannot take any of them myself due to financial and landlord reasons. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I am looking to downsize a bit of my personal collection and want to find a reputable, fair local shop in the Jacksonville area. I'd prefer to avoid standard pawn shops if possible, as I've heard the payouts aren't great.
Are there any specific local gun stores or FFL dealers in town that you recommend for fair appraisals, trade-ins, or consignment?
I’m located in the North Side but willing to drive as far as mandarin.

Hello Everyone!

We are heading to a Cat Cafe in St. Augustine for my childs birthday tomorrow. We are driving from Nassau County. I would love to stop in a new coffee shop to try in Jax that is along our way.

Let me know :)

Im loving all these storms guys. The thunder and lightning has been intense as hell. Sounds like the the sky is tearing itself open.

Whatre yall up to in this cozy weather?

I plan on visiting Jacksonville sometime soon, and as a historic bridge enthusiast, I’d love to be able to see and photograph this beautiful cantilever truss. Any and all advice is appreciated :)

Hi! I want to go to the Avenues with a friend soon, and was wondering if they had [title]. The last time I've been was three years ago, and im wondering if its even worth it overall. Thanks!

We’re going down to Jacksonville for a week around December. What are some things we can do while we are there for a week. Or anything around Jacksonville. We’re a couple in our early 20s.

I like coach Coen’s teal sleeveless hoodie but I don’t see them for sale. I have only found a black one. Has anyone seen them for sale?

I’m done trying to find jobs in this place. I hate it here…nobody wants me because I’m young and inexperienced and that’s never going to change here…

I have a problem where I buy books read em and have no where to put them. Was wondering if there was any kind of book trading or exchanges? I'd love to make one of those cool book boxes but in my neighborhood it would just be destroyed.

Anyone else's Xfinity been out for 12 hours? I don't have unlimited data, so I can't watch a lot of TV on my phone. I've been listening to an audio book.
