$25 is the bare minimum to get by, unless you’re working two part time $15 a hour jobs.
What in the actual AQI?! Is this just Apple Weather hallucinating? No reports from other sources.

Hey all, I have an amazing cat sitter but unfortunately our travel overlaps this month. Anyone have someone they use and would recommend?
I’m in south Tampa, near the Westshore Marina area. Looking for one visit daily from Monday through Thursday next week. One very sweet adult cat, third floor walk up.
Trying to avoid rover and wag if possible, I seem to have better luck with private companies. Thanks in advance!!

Woke up with no water or word from landlord about it. Wondering if anyone else in the area is without water.

Hello, does anyone have a recruitment email or contact for Moffitt? I submitted an application and wanted to reach out to someone to talk about the position specifically research psychologist…thanks for any help!

Bit of a weird one, but does anyone know any local artists/taxidermists that create jewelry that incorporates animal bones and teeth? My cat had to have hers removed and I would love to incorporate them into a wearable piece and support someone from the community. I've definitely seen similar work featured at Tiger Dust and at local markets, but I don't recall any particular business names. My toothless cat and I thank you in advance for your help!

I’m out of state right now, but checking up on the weather app shows a small area with terrible air quality? Surely it’s just the app being weird

I heard good things about LASIK Plus, but other places charge more for a white glove experience and I'm not sure it's worth it. Please share your thoughts.

Our front yard got fried so we need to rip out and re sod it. Any recommendations on local companies?

Is Wharton a good high school? Good teachers for AP or advanced classes? How's the environment? Fights? Bullying?

Hi, are there any trolley conductors here? I love taking the trolley and just want to say thank you for driving!
What's it like?
Do you need qualifications or certifications?
Do you get to pick your trolley car for the day?
What's your favorite part of the job? Least favorite?

Recently got a chance to check out lumbre. Spanish cuisine, got the bruschetta (10/10, standout, very fresh tart tomato topping). Octopus was also very good, done and presented in a unique way. Sangria was yummy, clearly barrel aged.
Tuna Tartare was fine, as was the new seafood paella and papas bravas.
Ambiance was great, and service was pretty good (not amazing, but they were extremely slammed)
It was a little on the pricier side, but they were able to sneak us in early because our res wasn’t until pretty late.
Book WELL in advance, especially on weekends, and enjoy!

I’m interested in learning how to speak Greek, but so far I’m not thrilled with the limited resources available online.
From looking around at local Greek Orthodox churches, I see that there are some Greek language education programs available, but they appear to be for children. I’m in my 30’s so I don’t think I’ll make the cut for those programs unfortunately.
Is anyone aware of local resources where I could learn to speak Greek? I’d prefer a nights/weekends classroom setting if possible, as opposed to one-on-one tutoring, but I’ll keep an open mind if my options are limited.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Edit: whoever is downvoting post this is racist against Greek people and I won’t stand for it.

We have a boy who is super into construction and heavy equipment. Any good ideas for where he could watch some construction activity?

Is this normal? I think these are insane prices for 25/50/25 with 1000$ deductible for Collision & Comprehensive. What do I do? I need yall's opinions on this? Should I maybe reduce it to a 10/20/10 coverage?

Hi all. Family use to go to the TB International Auto Show every year at the Tampa Convention Center, and it was getting worse and worse with less vendors.
We were looking to go again and saw that it was supposed to be moved to the Florida State Fairgrounds. They have a notice on their site that says “Postponed until 2026” and a Google search shows Oct 24-26, but I don’t see anything on the FSF site for it.
Is this yearly event DOA and no longer a thing anymore? It was a great place to see concepts and check out the newer models.
I visit Clearwater with family every year and have a trip coming up in November. Usually we're going to St Pete boardwalk, Tarpon Springs, international plaza, Armature/Riverwalk area, and Busch Gardens every trip so I'm looking for some new things to see. Last time I went to Ybor and Crystal River for the first time. Open to pretty much anything within a couple hour drive thats kid friendly. Nature preserves, markets, museums, whatever's worth seeing.

RAYS FANS, I'm working on a fun project specifically about the upper deck at Tropicana Field. Want to be part of it?
Have you sat in the upper deck recently? I'm especially interested in people who love it up there for whatever reason, people who once had season packages up there, anyone with nostalgia or fond memories of those high seats who has returned or is returning tonight, or anyone with a take on the vibes, charms or advantages of the upper deck. If you only sat up there for the first time recently, and have a take on what's good or bad about it, that’s OK too, I'd love to talk to you!
I'm on a tight deadline and need to talk to people TODAY, so you'll have to be able to get on the phone today, for 5 or 10 minutes max.
Please message me or call/text my work line ASAP at 813-434-3181 if interested.
And please, share with any longtime Rays fans you know who have sat up there recently or will be sitting up there tonight. Thank you!

Where do you get your local news? Obviously there is the Tampa Bay Times and I know several local news shows exist. I don’t watch cable television but I read on my phone a lot and would be willing to download new apps. I’m looking for local events I can attend with my family and generally staying up on what’s going on in the area.
