Hi,

I had a great shop for my wood working and separate Electronics workshop/bench.

I miss having my tools to perform tasks. I brought as much as possible to my home in Florida. Space is limited and I was not about to shoot myself in foot by buying a bigger place. I had most of my shops tools sold at auction along with my supplies. I renovated a lot of houses and built a few nice shops from horded supplies. My wife always asked me why I kept so much. I had to remind her...

Hi,

I would be confined to my home because of my asthma and cardio issues. I'd go nuts! At least here I can take my meds to help through allergens.

I'm trying to gain back my muscle...

Hi,

I've been a Florida resident since 10-16-2021 and don't regret leaving Illinois.
I do miss my friends back in Illinois but they know they are welcome here anytime.

I sold my property in Illinois back in Sept/22 and don't regret that either since the taxes were killing me. Plus I do not have to worry about snow here, just hurricanes in the summertime. As a senior here I have a lot of benefits and the tax savings are great. Plus I can play Golf anytime I want, that...
