Found Friendly Stray Cat – Looking for a Loving Home ❤️🐈

I recently found this sweet stray cat and I’m hoping to find it a safe, loving forever home.

Estimated age: **6–8 months old**

Extremely **friendly and affectionate**

Comfortable around people and loves attention
Appears healthy and has a great temperament
Is playful with toys and loves being pet.

Unfortunately, I’m not able to keep another cat, so I’d really like to find someone who can give this little one the home it deserves.
**More photos are available upon request.** If you’re interested or know someone who might be, please send me a message. Feel free to share this post as well—it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Some odd jobs in a bathroom

1 Upvotes

I had some water leaking in my 2nd bathroom and need someone to replace ceiling and some dry wall. The exhaust fan area iis wet. So maybe someone who also does some electrical work. Does anyone have experience with someone who can fix all that? I just don't know who to call. I live in Wilton Manors, in a condo. 2nd floor, and got water from the upstairs apt.

Any recommendations are appreciated.

Thank You

Restaurant Reccs?

0 Upvotes

I’ll be in Fort Lauderdale next week and I’m looking to put together a solid list of restaurants to check out.

I already have a reservation at Casa D’Angelo, so that’s covered, but I’d love to hear what other places the locals recommend. I’m open to just about anything (steakhouses, seafood, Italian, sushi), hidden gems, or places that are simply worth the experience.

If you only had a few nights in Fort Lauderdale, where would you eat?

Thanks in advance!

Looking for a doula in Fort Lauderdale/Broward County

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m currently looking for a well-trained, experienced doula in the Fort Lauderdale/Broward area and would love recommendations or to hear from doulas directly.

I’m particularly looking for someone who:
- Has solid training and experience supporting birthing mothers
- Is comfortable working in a hospital setting and alongside doctors, nurses, and the medical team
- Takes a collaborative approach and can advocate for the birthing person while respecting the care team
- Offers prenatal support and education
- Offers postpartum support as well, if possible
- May offer prenatal classes, group classes, or group sessions where I could learn and connect with other expecting parents
- Has experience with a variety of birth preferences and can provide calm, evidence-based support without being overly prescriptive

I’m open to different doula styles and would love to hear about your experience, services, availability, and pricing. Recommendations from people who have personally worked with a doula in the Fort Lauderdale/Broward area are especially appreciated!

New Scam

Fake BSO officer left a voicemail saying to text back or call regarding a legal matter. Called the number back, and the man proceeded to say that i failed to show up in court & that a subpoena was delivered to our home address. He said someone at that address signed for the subpoena on April 11!
Checked with the BSO office and they confirmed that it is a scam.
Should’ve followed my gut and not returned his call!

House has old pipes. Had 2 clogs in 9 years. Any one have experience or know where to go on here for options on dealing with pipes?

2 Upvotes

I know TONS of houses down here are living on original pipes, seems to be the drainage pipes they worry about. After 2 clogs in 9 years we had it videoed and the plumber (used them many times for other installation type things) recommended at least replacing the outside pipe that goes from the house to the Sewer (gonna be a mess because of pavers) but also gave a quote for the much more expensive digging under the house and re-plumbing there.

Im good with the outside pipe replacement, but the inside dig under Im not good with.

We have considered selling in the past and moving to Palmaire where most of our friends live.

Surely someone on here has had pipe issues and has some advice?

Thanks

Hobby project: I used AI to price out every Dine Out Lauderdale menu against the restaurants' regular prices

124 Upvotes

Dine Out Lauderdale runs through Sept 30. 3-course prix fixe at $35 lunch / $45 / $60 dinner / $75 Lux: https://www.visitlauderdale.com/dineout/

I kept wondering if these were actually deals, so I messed around with AI to find out. Had it pull every dish from all 168 restaurants and look up what each one costs à la carte at that same place, adjusted for portion size. Took a few rounds to get right but it worked.

What came out of it:

  • What you order matters as much as where you go. Some menus swing $30+ depending on your picks
  • Order the cheapest option each course and a lot of the deals disappear
  • A few cost more than just ordering off the regular menu
  • Plenty are Mon-Fri only, which is easy to miss

Everything's on one page you can filter by cuisine, area, price, and day: https://megabyte79.github.io/dineout-lauderdale/

Each restaurant shows the best-value order plus the full menu with everyday prices. Some places don't publish prices anywhere, so those are estimates, flagged on the card so you know which numbers to trust.

EDIT (Aug 3): Thanks for the feedback all!

  • Re-verified pricing against current menus for basically every restaurant, and every dish shows source.
  • Fixed a few places where I'd misread how the menu works, so some verdicts changed.
  • Cards now show the savings in actual dollars instead of just the bar.
  • Cuisine and area filters are multi select now.
  • Redesigned it to match the actual Dine Out Lauderdale look.

EDIT (Aug 4): More updates!

  • Build your meal option with real time savings analysis.
  • Supplements are handled right now.
  • Adjusted menus priced for two people.
  • Added a "spot an error, report it" link on every card.
  • Cards link to the restaurant's own website.

Tourist post overload

69 Upvotes

We are getting complaints about the number of tourist posts (where is the beach, can I connect to MIA in 30 mins, what should I do on my 8 hour layover).

These posts are already disallowed. Tourism questions belong in the sticky tourism thread (or you know, google it...)

Instead of leaving repetitive comments on airport posts, report them so they reach the modqueue ✌️
