Generation Bob: The Fire Ants Did it in the Kitchen with the Sullied Fridge

The Fire Ants Did it in the Kitchen with the Sullied Fridge

My parents signed on a new house today.... within 2 hours, they discovered a nest of fire ants in their front yard, why they are called fire ants, and what it feels like to be robbed in FL.

Bad News: Thieves took everything. Good News: They only took the fridge the developer had recently promised to replace after my parents learned the previous (& brief) owners returned it with pee stains.

My question: Is it time to sell? Many dreams of moving simply externalize a desire for internal change. Other moves (NM) reconnect people with their home-like-place.... which in my parents' case is the great Midwestern prairie.

the previous owners were wild dogs or unneutered cats? SOOO many older folks move to Fla, and I don't understand why the fascination with crocodiles sets in after 70+.

I suspect, especially when they come from Fargo, the fascination is more with warm weather and sun. The crocodiles are the cloud around the silver lining of which they dream.
