    Sour, there is a Ford dealership in Tampa that many people won't do business with, because they're a "dirty" dealership. They do things like screwing people out of their rebates, don't honor the "freebies" that they agree to add on, etc. The dealership we use is smaller, and closer to us...

    They fixed the window. The head mechanic was who fixed the differential. He saw the window, and insisted they did have the part to fix it, even if it wasn't showing in their inventory. He went into the parts dept., and emerged in a little bit with the part in hand, and a smile on his face...

    Yesterday, when Dh went to pick up the grands from school, the back passenger side window rolled all the way down, by itself. He couldn't get it up (I'm not touching that with a 10 ft. pole). After loading up the kids, he went to the Ford place. Yeah, it's a known problem. They used the...

    LTAY, if you and your spouse ever get down this way again, please let me know. Maybe we could make plans to meet for lunch, or something.

    LTAY, my parents had a place on Lake Tiger, one of the lakes on the Kissimmee Chain. It's near the park you mentioned.

    The local Seminole Indian Reservation here, had a Culture Center. It was really nice, and educational. Part of the experience, was the alligator wrestling show. They did the show multiple times daily, and one left with a good deal of knowledge about alligators. Yes, they can run up to 25 mph...

    I think I told this before, but years ago the Army Corp of Engineers decided they had to change the route of the Hillsborough River. It was a drought year, and it was low. Because it was low, there were very few gators. Yes, that would be the best time to dynamite the river banks, and change...

    You "shine" gators. Go out in the dark, sit real still for 20+ minutes, then use a high powered light, or flashlight to shine across the water. The red orbs are the gator eyes. Quietly, and gently paddle your boat to the eyes, and sit there quietly. If you're gentle, and quiet enough they'll...

    It's already that way. Culverts in ditches are housing gators, every pond, and puddle of any size has gators. When the airport, and Air Force Base have to have large gators removed from their runways, twice in the last couple months, not to mention the multiple properties, and highways they've...

    I usually look at the local news on a daily basis. This year, there are an unusually high number of mentions about having to relocate alligators. This is followed by instructions on dealing with alligators. I've been saying for years, they are NOT endangered. The idiots that count them, have...

    The printer cartoon hits home. Dh's had a black & white only printer. Normally, he prints documents, so not a big deal. I have the all-in-one, and the printer does color. I hooked it in, directly to my computer, with a cable. On those rare occasions that he needed a color document, he'd come...

    They took my truck this morning. They can't find anything wrong with the sound system. IF it happens again, bring it back, and DON'T let them do a factory reset on the computer system, like they did before. I don't know, but got the impression that resetting the computer interferes with the...

    They were saying it might be possible to get a glimpse from the Florida panhandle, but we live too far south, so didn't really see anything.

    Penny, I agree. Too much tech. It's like cell phones. Why can't they just make a simple cell phone, strictly for phone calls, and text? One that doesn't DROP CALLS in the middle of a conversation.
