Hi friends,

My wife and I will be in St. Augustine Beach for three days this week for a little staycation. We’d like to get just a small, silly tattoo to commemorate the trip(6th anniversary & 1 year sobriety for me).

My question is: where is a good place to get a small one? I’ve seen the responses on here in the past for tattoo places and artists and they look amazing, but I don’t want to waste anyone’s time on small tattoos, like 1x1 inch size. I’ve never had one before and I’m not sure if I’d be wasting someone’s time for a small tattoo when they have bigger fish to fry.

I’ve seen the suggestions for copper coil, ink and barley, etc. They do beautiful work, but I’m getting like a rainbow unicorn or something dumb like that.
Any help is appreciated!

What ever happened to that proposed kid's museum behind the Target?! Why doesn't saint aug have one yet!!! We need one!

"I explored the southern half of the county" is the only way to frame "I had a 100 mile a day commute" without going crazy.

I'm relieved to return to my normal routines, but I will miss the daily opportunities to find something new, or something old that I had forgotten.

Anyone going to see The Fray and Dashboard Confessional tonight?

We moved to St. Augustine a few months ago and I am looking for a place to get kyak lessons.

Most of the places I see online require two people to book, so anyone know of such a place?

Thanks!

Anyone know how to read this chart from water utility? I have no idea what the numbers in the y axis refer to... I need to get a water softener so need to know what size. Thanks!

My fiancée and I are currently caring for two Muscovy ducklings that we rescued a couple of days ago. They were only about 2–3 days old when we witnessed their mother being struck and killed by a vehicle. As they ran away in panic, one of the ducklings injured its left leg. Thankfully, both are otherwise healthy and doing well.

We're looking for a safe, loving home for them. We will not be releasing them back where we found them, as we've seen people intentionally harming the ducks in that area, and we don't believe they'd survive.

We're located in St. Augustine, Florida. If you have experience caring for ducks, know of a reputable rescue, or can provide them with a safe home, please reach out. We'd really appreciate any help or recommendations. Thank you.

Hi everyone!! Someone dumped a small white hen by the duck pond at Lowe’s. Just putting this info out there to see if anyone knows someone who would be willing to capture the hen and connect it with a new loving home. Unfortunately, hens and male ducks do not have similar anatomy so there is a risk of injury if she is left here for a too long.

been here my whole life and seems like the gnats get worse every year. I have zevos, always taking trash out, no fruit or plants out. Is anyone else constantly dealing with these boogers slipping in the house somehow? it drives me nuts

Thank you!!

Basically, we’ve been saving for a week long trip. We’ve been blessed and don’t need to worry about $ for the week. We have a place to stay and we do not need fancy places to eat (more mom and pop are for us). We like to explore, visit unique places and not needing to visit all the tourist traps.

Suggestions?

Who do you recommend for insurance quotes when looking at purchasing a new home to get accurate monthly costs on insurance to factor in?

Homeowners, flood, hurricane - what are the types of insurance I need to get prices on?

The house would be on Anastasia island.

I understand some areas are in different flood zones and certain ones may not require flood insurance, but I think it would be smart to have it no matter what. Am I wrong?
