I always wondered how deep they are since I was a kid. These canals are everywhere and I always wondered what they are for.

What is wrong with you?

I hope this is okay to post. I am a 38 year old woman. I live with chronic pain and some health issues. Last week I had lung surgery and unfortunately there were complications (pnuemothorax) so I'm still in a lot of pain and having a hard time getting things done. I can do the things I need help with, just not at the moment, and having this to-do list in the back of my head is driving me crazy. Nothing too difficult: posting some items on offerup/marketplace, getting in touch with la-z-boy about an issue with my office chair (I can't seem to reach them by phone?), calling Amazon in order to fix a problem the last Amazon support person I spoke with created, calling my credit card company to dispute a charge from my gym (which I haven't been to since February), etc.. (Etc, except I think that's all I need help with 🤔)

Does anyone know of any programs or groups that may be able to help? I live at home with my mom who is in her 70s and I am honestly just so sick of feeling like a burden.

Thanks

Thankfully no major injuries or fatalities.

I'm looking for recommendations for a good, honest attorney in the Miami area who has experience with insurance disputes, denied claims, and preferably insurance bad faith cases.
Here's what happened:
My husband's 2015 Honda CBR1000, worth approximately $10,000, was stolen. We had insurance through GEICO, and when we originally purchased the policy, I specifically told the agent that I wanted full coverage because this was an expensive sport motorcycle. I wanted to make sure we were protected in case something like this happened.
Unfortunately, when I reported the motorcycle stolen, GEICO told me that our policy only included collision coverage and did not include comprehensive coverage for theft.
That is NOT what I requested or what I understood I was purchasing.
I filed a complaint and requested that GEICO review the original phone recordings with the agent to verify what was discussed when the policy was set up. It's now been almost seven weeks, and I feel like I've been completely ignored.
Instead of addressing my concerns or providing a meaningful resolution, GEICO continues sending letters stating that the motorcycle isn't covered and that the claim is closed.
A couple of weeks ago, I received another letter stating that I have up to three years to file a civil lawsuit if I want to pursue the matter further.
At this point, I'm seriously considering taking legal action.
This situation is honestly heartbreaking. It breaks my heart to see my husband so upset. He hasn't been the same since his motorcycle was stolen. That bike meant so much to him, and I just want to make things right and be able to get him another one. It's incredibly frustrating to feel like we did what we were supposed to do by paying for insurance, only to find ourselves in this situation when we actually needed it.
I'm not trying to get anything unreasonable. I want GEICO to honor what I specifically requested when purchasing the policy and compensate us for the motorcycle we lost.
I'm looking for an attorney who:
Has experience handling insurance disputes against major insurance companies.

Understands insurance agent misrepresentation and failure to obtain requested coverage.

Can investigate the original sales call recordings and policy documentation.

Has experience with denied claims and potential insurance bad faith issues.

Has anyone in Miami dealt with a similar situation with GEICO? Were you able to resolve it through an attorney?
I would really appreciate recommendations for attorneys who are honest, responsive, and actually willing to fight for their clients. Thank you!

If you don’t know, now you know.

So much music history was created at Criteria Studios… personally, I find it mind-blowing.

Read the article to learn about this gem in North Miami, and the music history that has been created there for 50+ years.

Serious question.. dating here feels impossible.. did anyone find their significant other while living in Miami/ south florida? Has anyone been to a wedding recently? I’m a 35 years old woman and want to get married but oh man….

Personally, One of my favorite places to swim In miami.

Little one was found near the Petsmart on North Miami Ave (she ran out into the street). She’s very sweet and playful, definitely not feral at all. I’d guess she’s around two months old, and healthy. All black with a very faint trace of white on her chest. She’s likely a stray or dumped, but I wanted to reach out to the community in case someone knows where she came from - she’s a hell of an escape artist (no playpen can contain her) so it’s possible she got out from somebody’s home. She’s a darling little girl, with a purr that sounds like a lawnmower!

Edited to add - she has a forever home lined up now, but if anyone is interested in adopting, check out Cat Network! I work with them when I can and they’re awesome

Hialeah asereee

Anytime I bring up anything related to consumer protective policy, I am blasted with "well I can tell you are a socialist"

What?

Florida has a law to prevent hurricane price gouging, is that socialist?

The trauma from regional diaspora from Military Dictatorship has been weaponized by private interest. Anything that would stop them from squeezing you for every last dime they label socialist and you then hate.

Anything that stops them from warping and monopolizing the market and keeping them from total economic domination has been framed as Socialism.

A free market isn't free if the biggest actors have the ability to limit your choices in the marketplace. That is market capture.

You have been tricked into thinking anything that keeps market capture from happening is socialism.

We need to wake up. We need to organize and advocate for consumer protection so we can engage in the free market in a meaningful way and flourish as a state for the people, by the people.

Stop watching corporate media. It is just as skewed and twisted as state propaganda. Talk to your neighbors.

Challenge your elected representatives to do their job and represent your interests by protecting your choices in the free market. To advocate for you, their constituent. For the future of this state, outside of simply opening the door for the ultra wealthy.

If this anti "socialist" sentiment were truly the best way to govern, FL would be exploding with high paying jobs, fair market priced housing, fair market priced goods and services and the middle class would expand.

Instead we are saddled with insane insurance rates due to no protective policy, insane good and service prices because no protective policy, insane housing issues because no protective policy (1800$/mo for a 200sqft efficiency?)

The big picture is that this lack of protective policy lets market actors rob you of your freedom of choice and funnel you into their extractive overpriced funnel. The free market would allow for more competition which would drive prices down to what they are actually worth. People in this sub call FL a scam, and then whenever people suggest any change to stop the scam, are reviled as socialist monsters.

Thanks for reading ! Looking forward to talking about this as a community with rational, meaningful, factually based points.

Group of around 6-8 high school aged black guys who would dance and do stunts, but mostly pros at hyping up the crowd to watch them jump over 8 volunteers or something?

I always thought they were such great entertainers. Every time I'd decide to watch their schtick for 2 minutes, but end up being there for an hour. Their energy never got old.

I figured they went off to college or whatever and hope they know they're missed!

Nice work Musk! How about those CUTS to the FAA Dumpty Trump???

Full Disclosure: this is day 3 of driving as a visitor and never have I been in a city where so many people change lanes, turn at 4-way stops and turn into businesses WITHOUT signaling.

Can I pick up at this event? Coming from NY and I have a delivery service lined up to take care of me but I saw this event and wanted to see if I pulled up if that option is available.

Interesting find among my dad's stuff after he passed.

How is Dadeland mall doing these days?

Moved from Northeast and missing good Korean food. Any recommendations for place that has descent Soondubu? Places I’ve tried in Miami taste like I’m at a bad food court, watery broth, wrong style egg, wrong tofu, and lack flavor.

Did they not get the memo that country music isn't at all miami aesthetics

The song also sucks big time

Honestly, I’m surprised there’s no talk about this, but I find it so odd that they’ve resorted to cost saving measures and using one of the most weakest campaign ads that I’ve ever seen from a dealership. It feels so fictional and a waste of space that doesn’t entice any of its target audience. They’ve only come up with a cheeky “priceito” phrase this month to sugarcoat it, which barely makes any difference. Literally every damn time I see it all over the place, it’s so damn depressing and nothing else. I feel this only degrades Doral as a city, as I feel it can do better given how it’s been pushing higher income spending and households into the city in recent years. Thoughts?
