I have a room I would like to rent in my 2/2 55+ condo after me and my wife divorced last year for extra income. I think $800 is fair. Its very quite and safe and has plenty of parking. It has a beautiful 3rd floor balcony for amazing sunsets. It's in Sunrise, near the Sawgrass mall.

The thing is I never rented to anyone, and dont want to get stuck with a huge problem. How do I vet whether or not the person is just a quite, friendly clean person. Any advice is welcome. I appreciate you 🙏🏼

Hello,

I'm looking for a lawyer who specializes in retaliation cases. Does anyone have a recommendation? I am having a hard time finding one

Sheriff Gregory Tony waved from the top of a blacked-out four-wheeled tactical truck at a July 4th parade. Lift kit, light bar, SHERIFF across a custom grille. It photographs like a movie prop. You paid for it.

It's a civil forfeiture asset from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund. Seizure money. Not his salary, not his wallet. He didn't lease it, didn't finance it, makes no payment. Sources inside BSO placed the value at $200K.

The rebuttals arrived before I finished typing. He's leasing it. No. You're jealous. Sure, nobody handed me a monster truck with a taxpayer grille. It's a forfeiture. Yes, that's the point. Forfeiture money is still public money. "It came from a seizure" is the accusation, not the defense.

You're making it up.
No.

My work identified what ended former Pompano Beach officer Anthony Davis, who drew a federal DOJ Inspector General fraud finding and a $50K fine.

I'm careful about what I put in writing.
That's why it holds.

Then there's the Suburban.

BSO came close to buying a $250,000 bulletproof Suburban for the Sheriff to drive around the airport. The idea died when money got tight.

People ask why I bother.
Wrong question.
Ask why you don't.

It's your money. Act like it.

I am trying to find more options to promote my small family business, I have been doing flyers but, with this crazy heat its hard to do as many as I would like. Any ideas where I can hand out flyers and not melt from this hot weather? TIA!🙏🏻

Anyone in Broward that gets together to watch movies? Particularly AMC, Cinemark, Regal, etc?

My son, born 23w3d at 1lb10oz March 4th, 2026.

After coming home, FINALLY, on July 8th, 2026, after four long months, we thought the battle was over. We thought we had won. Albeit, with a diagnosis of chronic lung disease, in the form of Bronchopulmonary dysplasia, we knew there would be hurdles, and a huge task ahead of us. We put our faith in god and trusted in the doctors.

The staff and doctors at Broward Health in Fort Lauderdale were extremely accommodating with our precious son. Until they weren’t.

It started with lack of communication, they would: move him rooms, move him floors, perform tests NOT previously discussed with his parents, amongst other seriously concerning things. It would be DAYS sometimes before we would get an update on his health and what the plan moving forward was.

There was an MRI performed without our consent, or even a phone call! The results were then HIDDEN from us for 11 days! How did we finally find out? The doctors were discussing my son’s PRIVATE medical records PUBLICLY in the hallway for anyone to hear. Well, one person heard them talking from the room, my wife. To say the least, this led to extreme anxiety, and distrust that our tiny, precious baby was not receiving the help he so desperately needed.

Six days later the unthinkable happened, and we rushed him to the hospital. Around 3:45am he woke up unexpectedly from a nap, my wife went out to check on him, which was the norm for how much of an attentive and wonderful mother she has become. I thought nothing of it and attempted to go back to sleep. Within seconds I heard the words I never wanted to hear in my life when it came to my son, “Desmond! Come here! Something is wrong!”

It was bradycardia, something no parent wants to see. We weren’t ready for an at-home-bradycardia and promptly called 911. His heart rate shot down to the low 60s when my wife called me into the room, and as each moment passed it was darting lower and lower, it sustained in the low 40s. His chest looked like it was pumping once at a time. Only way I could describe it was it was like the movie Alien. His skin started to lose color and our worst fears were looking like they were coming to fruition. He eventually stabilized after 12-15 mins of the most horrific panic I have ever experienced in my life. The paramedics arrived and explained to us they wanted to take him to Broward Health, the closest hospital where he was born. This was a nightmare that was getting worse.

His mother and I agreed that we were packing him up and taking him to the closest children’s hospital, that we had been researching, Joe DiMaggio’s Children’s Hospital, in Hollywood, FL. His care is being reevaluated and in the past 48 hours they have outlined how inept the care he received at Broward health was, the mistakes they made, and the unordinary medications they had him on. We are personally taking time off work to be with him 24/7 while we continue to monitor the situation.

Feel free to leave any specific questions in the comments about the way my son was treated at Broward health and I will do my best to answer them.

Edit: I’d like to also add there were multiple times my wife and I would come in to him sitting in his soiled diapers for god knows how long, missed feedings, missed medication times. I’ve spoken with multiple nurses, who I am not blaming at all, that they have no time to use the restroom, eat, etc. they on average have 5 NICU BABIES they’re required to watch and keep track of. If they’re supposed to eat every 3 hours and have medication etc etc how can they keep up? The math isn’t mathing. They overwhelm these amazing nurses and it’s NOT RIGHT. The ones in charge do not care either. All the way up to the top. Nicklaus children’s hospital and Broward health should be ashamed at the way they view NICU children and I would strongly advise against sending your child there.

And if anyone has any connects to any local news stations that would like to hear our story please reach out to me either here or on my instagram. If I can’t beat them in court I’ll ruin their reputation. Thank you.

Hi, so I see they offer English classes for Russian speakers, but I couldn’t find any in person Russian classes around. I’d really like to learn the language, but I’d prefer to do it in person rather than online. I know they have in-person Spanish classes in Miami, so I was wondering if there’s something similar for Russian. Thanks in advance!

Watch BSO Sheriff Tony roll around in six-figure toys with $20K upgrade packages, treating the public payroll like a monster truck rally, and you’d think he’s just running for "Sheriff of Instagram."

But reality is a lot darker. Bob Marley shot the sheriff, swore it was self-defense, and we’ve been singing along ever since. Sheriff Tony executed a kid, tap-tap to the head, swore it was self-defense, and the singing stopped.

Tony lied on every application that handed him a badge. Lied about the LSD. Lied to Coral Springs. Lied to FDLE. His lies have become policy. Now he pirates music for Facebook jazzercise videos and treats check kiting like just another form of cardio.

I’m dropping the actual public records receipts on Monday.

Or is this a pipe dream

Most people see a lifted truck on government plates and shrug.

I see a $71,000-to-$85,000 Silverado 2500 with $5,000 to $8,000 in aftermarket rims, and I see the acquisition file that must exist if tax dollars signed for it.

You don't need a law degree to ask for the invoice. I never had one.

The Oliver Larkin campaign will be hosting a town hall and social at MAD Arts in Dania Beach. Attendees will receive a 25% discount to view the Museum before or after the event.

Hi all - who are your recs and absolutely avoid for ER vets? I used to go to Coral Springs animal hospital but won’t go there anymore after a few inconsistencies and poor interactions last year. I’ll take my boy anywhere in Broward or Boca m/Delray as I’m located in pompano area.

Not asking regarding cost - they’re all expensive af. I’m looking for solid recs in terms of medical care and trust worthiness of the vets and clinic staff. Thanks!

I was at LBTS the other day and saw the pier has still not been repaired. After some digging, I see that the owners are currently working through the process of bids/permits.
It struck me that it would be great if they redid the pier as a snorkel/dive platform. Put some stairs and platforms at the end of the pier , and charge for people to use the pier as a launch point to snorkel/dive the reefs.
How cool would it be to have such a unique, one of a kind, pier at the beach dive capital?

Anybody know any courts that have good calm runs consistently?

Anyone familiar with it?

Trying to convince my dad to join me for the World Cup final watch party over there, but he's concerned about the seats in that would it be too low to the ground and/or would he have trouble fitting in them. He's a pretty big guy (like 6 ft 220 lbs) and his knees are shot thus it gives him difficult to get up from seats overall.

To those who have been, how are the seats there? Are they wide enough at least?

Something y'all might want on your radar.

Multiple confidential BSO sources describe an agency-wide hold on discretionary purchasing. Under the hold, routine purchases reportedly require approval at the rank of Colonel or above, and things as small as office supplies are being deferred.

Deputies now need a Colonel's signature for a Sharpie. Two Colonels if it's the fine tip.

Meanwhile, in the command lot: sources describe aftermarket modifications to command staff vehicles, including about $4,000 in wheels and $2,000 in exhaust work on the Sheriff's Denali (a truck that ran near $90,000), reportedly paid with agency funds. Also known as your money.

Public records requests are filed and pending.

But, as we like to say, stand by for INCOMING.

You might remember the state's DOGE team came to town and left with a giant thumb drive full of PDFs. This week I asked the Florida CFO's office to pull six documents from the pile:

1. The freeze directive and its effective date
2. The command fleet roster (Colonel and above)
3. Purchase orders/invoices for aftermarket equipment since Jan 2024
4. The approval signatures on those purchases
5. BSO's vehicle upfit policy, if one exists
6. Funding source, including whether forfeiture trust fund money was used (that fund has statutory restrictions, §932.7055)

The dates will tell the tale. If the wheels were approved after the freeze took effect, someone at Colonel rank signed off on chrome while deputies begged for toilet paper. If they came before, you still bought them.

BSO is the largest single line in the county budget. Its money is everyone's money.

Tony's '25 Denali comes 22" wheels, standard on a sled > north of $80 large. His wears GM's dealer-installed accessory package instead: 22-inch gloss black rims, list price $3,450. Same diameter. The 3 large buys a color.

Somebody signed an invoice. Either Tony paid out of pocket, or it traces to a BSO purchase order and we paid for it. This is the agency that spent $552,000 of our money rebranding him "Dr. Tony."

Today I asked BSO for the vehicle's acquisition file.

I moved to town and am preparing for my medical board certification exam. I'm trying to find 1-2 people to sit and study with at either a library or a coffee shop. Not looking for someone to be studying the same thing but moreso just having a study buddy with to stay accountable and to have some social interaction with as well. Haute university as well as Weston library are both spots with nice tables for 2-3 people to sit down and study.

Hi! I’m looking to try on rings and talk with a local jeweler who would be willing to make an engagement ring with a diamond I buy from a separate place. I’ve seen that this could be a cheaper option and I might want some more custom aspects to the ring.

I know some jewelers only want to work with their own stones / only natural diamonds, etc.

Thank you for any help!

I'm waiting on a quote to replace our 18 year old 3 ton unit. It's working, but barely. Wondering what you all have paid recently?
