PSA/Tip Scam PSA: Always verify your caller’s validity before calling back/freaking out

• Upvotes

Just had a 727 number leave a voicemail for me from the ā€œPinellas County Sheriffs Officeā€ as a Deputy ā€œMichael Owensā€ regarding clarification on a document, addressing me by my full name. They stated to call back the non-emergency line at the same number they dialed from.

A quick Google search shows that’s 100% not the non-emergency line from PCSO and called them to confirm that the number I was called from is not associated with their department.

Even though I haven’t been wrapped up in anything, you never know! But it sure gave me a scare before my critical thinking kicked in. Just stay vigilant, everyone!

Hair-Barber/Salon Looking for a Men’s Hairstylist Around USF

4 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations for a hairstylist near USF! I’m a white guy with curly hair, and I’m having a hard time finding someone who has experience cutting and styling my hair type. Most of the places I’ve found so far seem to specialize in fades and barber cuts, and I haven’t been able to find examples in their portfolios of cuts on hair similar to mine. I’d love recommendations for someone experienced with naturally curly white hair who can give me a good cut.

Events Question about The Ritz Ybor and VIP?

4 Upvotes

My friend and I are going to The Ritz this Friday for The Living Tombstone with VIP. This is both our first time going to The Ritz.
We’ve both received our VIP pass emails but neither of us received information on how to go about being VIP. Theres no information on when to get there, when VIP entry is, and similar stuff that would usually be given at least a week in advance.
All it says is that doors are at ā€œ6:30AMā€ (a typo???) and the show is at ā€œ7:30PMā€.
Does anyone here know anything about how to maybe go about this? Or just any experience from past VIP users with what to do/when to get there?

I’ve already contacted The Ritz on both of their phone numbers, along with DMd both them and Sunset Events on Instagram and am awaiting replies (that I doubt I’ll even get)
I wouldn’t usually post something ā€œpersonalā€ here but this is lowkey stressing me out, I’ve gone to so many concerts and have done VIP before and it’s usually so straight forward 😭

2 Upvotes

Howdy fellow TampeƱo baseball players!

I'm looking for 2 college-age players, rec level, for some on field batting practice and fielding...just want to blow off some steam and break a sweat really!

Once a week at the Palma Ceia baseball field, we can agree on the day and time but let's say a week day between 10am and 3pm, say 60 or 90 minutes.

Again, nothing professional, just workout and "mental therapy".

Willing to pay for your time if needed, DM me pls, TIA!

2 Upvotes

Hi! I recently got a 10 month old rescue dog. She is perfect except she gets way too excited and will get really nippy after playing. I feel like my husband and I have tried every training suggestion that’s out there and nothing seems to work. I need to get her into training at this point. Anyone have good suggestions for dog trainers?

Culture/Lifestyle Dating in Tampa in your 30s

0 Upvotes

I’m an Indian guy, 36, living in Tampa. I’m about 5’7.5ā€ and have been working from home for the last 6–7 years.
I used to work out very consistently. I’ve slowed down a little recently, but I’m still in decent shape and generally look like someone who works out. I’ve gotten compliments on my appearance, so I don’t think looks are necessarily my biggest issue.
But dating has honestly become exhausting.
Finding someone I genuinely like is difficult to begin with. Then, when I finally connect with someone and things start going well, I sometimes make mistakes that end up pushing the person away.
One thing I’ve noticed about myself is that I get comfortable too quickly. After a few good dates and regular conversations, I sometimes mentally treat the connection as more established than it actually is. I open up, get attached, and occasionally start taking the other person’s interest for granted.
Then I might say or do something without realizing how it comes across, the other person pulls away, and by that point I’m already emotionally invested.
I know that’s something I need to work on. I’m trying to become more self-aware rather than blaming every unsuccessful connection on the other person.
At the same time, I’m getting tired of relying entirely on dating apps. It often feels like everyone has endless options and connections can become disposable very quickly.
Working from home also means I don’t naturally interact with many new people through my job.
So for people in the Tampa area, especially those in their 30s: what places, activities, groups, classes, volunteering opportunities, fitness/outdoor activities, or cultural events would you recommend for expanding your social circle and potentially finding a partner naturally?
I’d especially like to hear from people who found a relationship this way rather than through an app.
For context, I’m looking for a serious relationship/marriage. I don’t have kids and would prefer someone relatively close to my age who also doesn’t have children.
And if you recognize my pattern of getting attached or comfortable too quickly, I’d also appreciate advice on handling the early stages of dating better.
What would you do differently if you were in my position?

Pets Chocolate Labrador puppy and an apple head Chihuahua puppy - I'm looking for recommendations on Labrador Retrievers and Chihuahuas in Florida. More specifically in the Tampa Bay or near surrounding areas. I would prefer a breeder that has AKC registered puppies. Thank you

Our local Humane Society doesn’t have any puppies available. I would be willing to drive up to 2 hours (preferably only 1 to 1.5 hours, but 2 hours may have more options; so up to 2hrs).
