My wife is in her 1st year back in teaching after taking 12 years off to raise our kids. She has a different perspective on it than most 1st year teachers since she has done it in the past, the biggest thing she says that some teachers forget is that teaching is your JOB, not a social hour or somewh...

My wife and I enjoy shag dancing, a couple good songs to dance to are "brown eyed girl" and "Mexico" (Jimmy's versions)

welcome to everywhere there is a tourist promotion element. [/quote] I know that all too well, I live in Ft Myers Fl. we are right in the middle of tourist season as we speak. Locals don't even bother going out to eat until about mid-march. I'm a 3rd generation native Floridian, my great grandfather...

There is so much more to the Keys than just Key West, I used to be a part owner of a home on Big Pine and the changes are similar all over the Keys, locals are being priced out. Key West just seems to be on the leading edge of overcrowding and development, old timers blame lots of different folks no...

We had horrible luck with our Dodge Caravan, transmission problems that were luckily under warranty and several AC problems that cost big $$. The thing was so bad that parts were litterally falling off of it before it had 30,000 miles on it.

[quote="conched"]Wanted windknot to notice this post about the Hallmark movie. [quote="conched"]For those of you who read Pat Conroy's books, [u]The Water Is Wide[/u] has been made into a Hallmark movie for television to air on Sunday, January 29. http://pressroom.hallmark.com/hh...

Very much enjoyed Prince of tides, one of my all time favorites! HATED the movie! a very southern book was twisted into something unrecognizable by Steisand. A quick read by Conway is "the water is wide" it is a lighter book about his time as a teacher in the S.C. lowcountry. I really was ...

A couple of South Florida books that are out of the ordinary.. Crunch and Des - by Phillip Whylie - stories from the Sat Eve Post about 2 Miami charter boat captains. Killing Mr Watson - story of the settling of the everglades/10,000 islands and a bad, bad man that ruled the area, based on fact. By ...

Our family never forgets the Black-eyed-peas or Collard greens on New Years, growing up in SW Fl we do put a little chopped onion and Vin & Oil on top though (Cuban style).
Some areas of the south call BEP and rice "Hoppin John".

My oldest, now 14, was fine with Santa but my youngest has never liked him, didn't even want him to come in the house while he was sleeping.

Neither of them liked clowns either, we think it has something to do with the face being hidden.

My secretary "won" a trip from Security, it is a scam. They took the trip and ended up in a ratty hotel in Grand Bahama.

I just returned from 11 days in the BVI's and am leaving on the 20th for a week on Green Turtle in the Abacos. Seeing as how most folks on here like the tropical laid back lifestyle where do you vacation?

Publix in SW Fl also sell it.

Now try to get some Kalik GOLD, twice the alcohol as the Silver label.

Thanks all, I'll check in every now and then, i'm an Allstate ins agent so needless to say it's been very busy!

First a big thanks to all that may have sent help or donations, this area will be needing it for a long time. I live in Ft Myers Fl and work in Charlotte Harbor, my home was minimally effected with just some trees down and no power for the first 4 days, man we sure did miss the AC in the 90+ temps! ...

Desdamona, I know Porters son, daughter in law and grandkids, we attend church with them, i've met Porter Goss twice and it shouldn't scare you to be related to them in any way, they are all super nice folks.

It is fun to listen to but you can also tell that no matter how hard he is trying Jimmy's voice is no match for Sinatra's.

Whats really amazing is that they are from Arkansas and none of them were fathered by Bill Clinton!

Hard to believe that there are others that scheduled weddings around the football schedule :lol: We held our wedding on the only open date in FSU's schedule way back in 1987. We knew if we wanted any family to attend we couldn't have a game conflict. My little brother (the blacksheep that attended W...

Bahamabreeze, y'all gonna give us back our OC?
