(14,255 posts)That's not bass ackwards, unless you like the ocean. I live right below Tampa now.
I did not come to Florida by choice, really, the huge telecom I worked for closed the data processing office in Bloomington, I got transferred to Durham, they closed that one two years later, got transferred to Tampa. Then they shipped as many jobs as they could to Chennai, laid most of us off due to that and a merger, then replaced what was left with mostly H-1B visa holders. I am retired now, but the pickings were slim, and of course the days of relocation were long gone. Hope, at some point, to get a little place in Gulfport, over by St. Pete.
No Waffle house near me, I thought - but looking at the map, there is one 5 miles away, and one 6 miles away. Probably drove right past the nearest one a couple of times in the past week, but looks like it is in the middle of a good-sized cluster of restaurants, not a beacon of warm yellow light, seen from the interstate.
I am a low-carber, so I hate having this information!
Orlando is a long way to go for a doctor - I hope things turn out well for your son.
