I just get the elderly that keep calling the same number even after I tell them that I'm not that person.

A hurricane tie is a metal plate that secures a truss to the top of the wall. We use screws. What i mean by tie plate is a plate that ties one wall to another. Pre cut studs are 3 3/8 inches short of 8 feet/9 feet, so with a stud and 3 plates (4.5 inches), a 9 foot wall is 109 1/8 inches tall. 5/8" drywall on the ceiling and then 1/2" for flooring leaves you with 9 feet.
So if they're using pre cut studs in Florida, then their wall height is an inch and a half short of 8/9/10 feet.
Welp, had a @stormchaser2014 type interaction with Amazon EARLY this morning. Husband woke up around 5-ish am, he looks at his phone, and mutters "Are you kidding me?" I'm wondering what he's on about. He placed an order yesterday that was to be delivered today. The picture proving delivery was the package sitting outside the Amazon locker that's by our complex office. In -2 degree weather. Husband still can't drive, so I had to bundle up and drive to go get it. The "locker" sounds broken, though, as it was letting out a high-pitched whine and I couldn't activate the touchscreen. But! If that was the case, they should have delivered to our door.
Bummer. I ordered something yesterday morning and they delivered by mid afternoon same day. I guess they think that balances out the bad karma from your mishap. I hope my order wasn't the excuse for yours.
That's Florida for you. Nothing good comes from Florida, except maybe Florida Man stories.
Is it better to have that split second when you’re slipping on ice that you realize you’re going down and it’s gonna hurt or is it better for you for you just to realize you’re on the ground and you’ve wiped out?
Went to the local Casey’s and of course I park right beside where some jack wagon. Musta dumped their drink glass out and created a small little ice like that you can’t see. Hope my shoulder is OK.

Hi. Just popping in to let everyone know my wife and I had a baby girl a couple weeks ago. Big brother turned two in November and everyone is doing well. Bye.
Um, how about refrigeration/air conditioning, Boxter's favorite key lime pie, streaking, public defenders (you should appreciate this), chocolate alligators?
ISU-related - Troy Davis, Rocco Becht and Hooters.
Meh. You think we wouldn't have refrigeration or ac if Florida didn't exist? We would.
Some historians argue that key lime pie originated not in Florida but IN NEW YORK CITY.
I've never had much use personally for public defenders.
There are plenty of gators in Louisiana and elsewhere.
Troy Davis would have been born/ lived somewhere else if Florida never existed, as would have Rocco Becht.
Streaking probably fits under the Florida Man genre.
1. You neglected Hooters.Meh. You think we wouldn't have refrigeration or ac if Florida didn't exist? We would.

2. I didn't say alligators. I said chocolate alligators.
3. From my experience at the courts I found that the public defenders are the fun lawyers. Sure, they don't really care about law but they are fun.
Without Florida, all of Jimmy buffets songs wouldn’t have had the inspiration to be written
The trash and the recycle cans have been lined up like a 7-10 split in the driveway
Thinking if I get the SUV up to speed with just the right angle.....history could be made

Without getting high/drunk on Key West for several decades, he'd have like one so-so song.
Bah. He would have originated somewhere else. There are beaches (and margaritas) in other states (including the state of intoxication).

There are hooters in literally every state. Don't puff up your chest on that one.
Chocolate AND alligators exist outside Florida. And YOU know whence chocolate gators arise:
That's so much better news than the Vikings have offered recently.
Congratulations on the new Cyclone and best wishes for some good naps soon.
Phaedrus, is that really you?Meh. You think we wouldn't have refrigeration or ac if Florida didn't exist? We would.

But it took that particular mixture of warm water, white sand beaches, upscale sea-side condos & hotels and trashy nearby trailer parks to create the perfect stew for Hooters to get its start. Tampa-Clearwater-St Pete's is maybe the only place Hooters could have originated. There are 9 planets (I still count Pluto) and only one has intelligent (kinda) life.
