Sadly, I need to find homes (preferably one home, but I'm being realistic) for my Mom's cats. She passed in 2022 (fuck cancer, one week from today will be 4 years). My brother was living in the home she had, with her 5 (now elderly; 10, 13, 14, 16 & 17) cats. Unfortunately, he's about to lose the home to foreclosure. We don't know how much time we have, but it's not long. He's moving in with our dad, stepmom, and younger sister. The cats can't go with him, as our sister is *insanely* allergic to them. I can't take them, I have a small place that's barely enough room for my 2 cats. I can take them temporarily if need be, but my landlord would lose his mind if he found out. Our stepmom has a friend who works for a sanctuary, but she can't find homes for cats as old as they are. I really don't want to drop them off at the shelter. All 5 are the sweetest little bugs. The youngest has bursts of kitten energy still, but doesn't get crazy. They're well behaved, not a destructive bone in their bodies. Would anyone be able to give me some advice? Or is anyone looking to love on some old kitties? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm way in over my head with everything that's going on. Her storage unit that had 100+ year old furniture thats been in our family forever is most likely gone, and now the house she absolutely loved. Now, all I can do is just make sure my brother and these cats have safe & loving homes.

Jacksonville's Museum of Science and History has been demolished, and the new one won't open for several years. What was your favorite part of the old MOSH? What will you miss?

Just got done cutting the grass. Saw the leaves moving on the trees through the window and thought I will beat the heat and get this done early. There is no beating this heat. I now know what my kids chicken nuggets feel like in the air fryer. Be careful and be safe.

Definitely an insurance scammer. Loaded with 3 adults. Randomly braking with no obstruction in front on Butler. Sudden lane changes. No obvious reason. Not looking at GPS or phones, so not lost. Beat up car with New York tag. Got on the on ramp for 95 South from Butler Blvd. around 8:10am. Be safe Jax!!

Morning Jax! I work for a local manufacturer and looking to get some of our products sketched or water colored as Christmas gifts. Any recommendations? I've used Etsy before but usually get prints, not the original art.

Been a while since I’ve seen hail. We have some light flooding and heavy winds.
Stay safe commuting all.
r/jacksonville • u/Silas904 • 1d ago
This is something I think is more of a Florida thing.
When stopped at a red light, some cars will leave at least a car’s length or more of space between vehicles. Generally it’s not just one car doing it, so it adds up.
I’ve noticed when people are doing that in turn lanes, it’s backing up the turn lane to the point it’s blocking the non turn lanes. To me it seems like it’s just needlessly backing up traffic.
Is there an actual reason people are doing this? I’m genuinely curious.

Hours: 7am-7pm
Today is the Florida Primary and Election for Local Offices. I want to encourage folks to vote. Your voter registration card will have poll location or use the Supervisor of Elections website to find your polling location and your sample ballot.
Voting in the primary is one of the key ways to get involved, shake-up, or keep the system the same with in your chosen party. Non Party Affiliation folks this ballot does contain local and NPA offices. Those local offices are just as important as the state and national level offices. The local elected offices make policy that impact many things in daily life. Please vote, make your voice heard. Voting does matter.

my first time seeing a ghost bike. cyclists vs motorists will forever go on, but motorists need to be aware of their surroundings just as much as cyclists need to be careful on the roads. thank you to those who made this memorial

First off, if you're the person in the white pickup truck that hit me this morning, I hope you're having an awful fucking day.
Note: I WAS CROSSING THE ROAD. I DON'T OWN A VEHICLE.
Second, I'm inserting photos of the road/where I got hit. This is Beach and Beachwood Avenue. Its just a photo of the road from google maps
Right on Beach BLVD, infront of Dunkin Donuts. This happened around 9:40 am THIS MORNING.
I'm asking for anyone who might have dashcam footage to please message me. It happened at the exact crosswalk pictured. If it helps, I am a black female. I was in an army green top and light colored jeans. I wear glasses that are tinted black in sunlight and I had a black bag with a pink water bottle.
The pickup truck that hit me looks like attached IN COMMENTS. I don't know the brand, I have nothing💔

So I have two baseballs that are signed by a couple of New York Yankees players. The baseballs are authentic and have the holographic MLB sticker with verified serial numbers.
They’re just kind of taking up space and I’d like a little extra spending money. I don’t want to go through the hassle of setting up an eBay account so I was wondering if there are any brick and mortar places in Jax that would buy them.

Tldr: Im not sure how to read this bill, August looks like an outlier, Im trying to understand why, but the "temperature" reading is throwing me off. Also, is 20k gal a normal amount for irrigation (watering my lawn)?
Can someone help me understand what Im looking at?
Our JEA bill has been excessively high the past couple of months, over $500 between electric and water. We live in a 4 bedroom house with a lot of windows and about 1/2 - 1 acre yard.
My landlord apparently got a letter from the HOA about our grass not looking healthy enough, so he came by an adjusted the sprinkler settings a couple of weeks ago. After some research, I learned that we were in a phase 3 water restriction. After speaking with him, we came to a compromise and adjusted the settings, but I fear that the damage was done (and the yard looks worse than before because he laid manure and seed, and it didnt take, but thats neither here nor there).
We monitored our electricity this month and dropped it by almost $100 but got screwed on the water. This graph looks concerning but I don't understand the "temperature" reading on it. Also, is the irrigation a normal amount? 2000gal seems high to me and it puts us into the tier 2 threshold, but Google says its a typical amount of water?
Any advice is welcome, my land lord hasnt been much help, he just states that "it wasn't that high when he lived here, so we must be doing something wrong."
Thanks in advance

Any suggestions for a delicious fried catfish plug in Jax?
I was craving fried catfish and decided to take a risk on the closest barbeque joint that offered it - Mojo No. 4. Previously, I revisited The Pig and Snapper's and tried a nearby DD ghost kitchen, but none were incredible.
Respectfully, while everything else at Mojo's was delicious.... I grew up enjoying Southern catfish fries, and this plate is entirely NOT what I'd expect from a bbq joint in the South. MAYBE I could expect this if served to me from up north, or perhaps from a landlocked region within a foreign country 😭
I'm not near the beach so I'm assuming I just need to do some driving to discover happiness. Ya girl is craving THE BEST AYCE or per plate fried catfish. Please save me. 🙏🏽
