    For sale:14 foot canoe!

    Getting a house next month and in need of some moving money! This 14 foot canoe from Basspro shop has treated my daughter and I very well over the years, but now is the time to sell her! In great shape and comes with two wooden paddles! Looking for $200 for this beauty! :lolabove: Currently at...

    Lake Swimming

    I live on Eastern Lake and have swum in the outflow area probably 30-40 times this spring and summer with no difficulties. I have never seen a gator in Eastern Lake these last 4 years and I often fish in my canoe in the back marshy spot by the trail and picnic table. I can't vouch for the other...

    Walton County Schools' Corporal Punishment Policy

    So you only have a problem with a teacher paddling you Scooterbug? ;)

    Walton County Schools' Corporal Punishment Policy

    Sorry, corporeal punishment in schools is backwards. It is illegal in over half the states in our country and outlawed in most developed countries altogether. How parents wish to discipline their children at home is their business, but there is no place for applying pain to a child for...

    Walton County Schools' Corporal Punishment Policy

    I grew up in western NY and there has never been corperal punishment at the schools I attended. I think the deep south is just taking longer to catch up with the rest of the country.

    Walton County Schools' Corporal Punishment Policy

    Imygyn is just starting 6th grade at the new ECMS and I just finished filling out the ream of paperwork she brought home. I am very happy to report that this distasteful release form was nowhere to be found in the packet I was told to fill out. I did find it in the Walton County handbook that...

    Licensed Mechanic?

    Avoid Jon Jons as well, I felt raped after the standard maintainence I had done there. :(

    Gravel Road? All You Can Eat?

    Walked up to Gravel Road last night with Imy and my mother for the all you can eat fish fry and it was very mediocre at best. They had catfish,flounder,shrimp and oysters for 14 and for 4 dollars more they would add mahi. I am assuming the mahi was local as nothing else was. The oysters were the...

    Dollar General coming to SRB?

    My guess is you are right Rita. His posts range from this to defending chair vendors to letting his dogs run free on the beach. Smells like a troll to me! ;)

    Dollar General coming to SRB?

    I have shopped a bit at the Dollar General in Pier Park and all I have to say is you get what you pay for. I am sure there are some exeptions, but just about everything I have every bought from them has been subpar in some manner. I think tin foil is about the only product that I havent had any...

    Beach Chairs all the way up to the water

    Companies hogging the beach with only profit in mind should take second seat to real people wishing to enjoy the beach with their families. If that is considered entitlement, I am all for it.

    Dollar General coming to SRB?

    Great location as anyone getting their vehicle fixed at Jon jons is going to need to shop at Dollar General for a while! ;)

    3br 2ba Long Term Rental in Seagrove

    I recommend that just for the rental forums that the original poster has the option of closing the thread once they rent the property. I think this would be benificial to my sanity. Thank you. ;)

    Very Surprised At How Many Places

    Kudos to those businesses that are willing to make a little less money to allow their employees time to enjoy a holiday weekend with their families! So often the important things in life are neglected for the sake of profit. :)

    Article: "Drivers do not know the rules of the road".

    I question why anyone would actually want to bike along 98? I drive 98 every day to work and see very few bikers along that stretch. I know for myself that biking is a pleasure and personally see little to no pleasure in biking along a highway with heavy traffic. But then again, I also think...

    "Private Beach" sign at Andante Condos

    I believe that document is known as the "Necronomicon" and is also useful for summoning Dagon to help clean up the beach after a rough tourist weekend. ;)

    Where is the Emerald Coast?

    Kudos to Okaloosa for trying to maximize the impact of an already great name. South Walton TDC should take notes as the dismal "The Beach" and I can't even remember the current lame moniker have been uninspiring and a waste of money at the best.

    Murder in Seagrove

    Are you proposing the police should have had him under 24 hour surveillance because he was creepy in high school? That's ludicrous and I am glad our police actually pull over speeders as well. If anyone is responsible for negligence, it's his parents. It sounds like they should have had him...

    Man charged with exposing himself in Seagrove

    I think someone with no pants on in a van who is stopping woman and children on the street and trying to get them into the van is a little more serious then someone stepping out on there own porch nakey occasionally.

    South Walton couple sues county over weddings

    Ignoring zoning codes to the detriment of ones neighbors to make a quick buck is not only short sighted but deplorable. All I can say is I am glad that those who don't see a problem with this aren't my neighbors.

    No TVs in Seaside restaurants

    It takes away from the ambience of a nice dining experience for one. Also, not everyone likes sports. I for one prefer not to have to look at something I dislike while I am paying for a meal. There are plenty of sports bars for those that do.

    No TVs in Seaside restaurants

    Sounds good to me. Sports on tv while trying to dine is annoying as hell. :clap:

    South Walton couple sues county over weddings

    I am sure they are nice people Franny, but the bottom line is their property is not being used as it was zoned and many locals don't appreciate living next to a continious wedding party. I am pleased to see that the county has been enforcing the law and agree completely with Andy.

    SoWalMart Grand Oening Wednesday June 15th, 2011

    Have you ever attempted to shop for groceries at a Walmart? Publix has absolutely nothing to worry about there. If you shop publix's buy one get one sales you can make out like a bandit while enjoying smiling, pleasant employees in a clean and organized enviroment. ;)

    Is it my imagination, or is the Jume grass (or seaweed) heavier than usual this year?

    Its normal so far. I thought it was kinda funny that it showed up on exactly June 1st this year at Eastern Lake. It is named well! lol

    What do you eat when you have nothing in the house?

    Leftover duck breast, some homemade potato bread fried in duck fat, sweet corn on the cob dripping in butter....mmmmmmMmmmmm :)

    Brenda Reese: Go Local

    For me South Walton is Scenic 30a from the Gulf of Mexico then north up to and including Pt. Washington. Sandestin and Miramar are don't count as they are way more like suburbs of Destin. Inlet beach is mentally more Bay County for me... I am with Lake View Too for the most part... :)

    Secret Sub-Committee of Code Enforcement Board ?

    Sounds like a great idea! Having the volunteer citizens patrol giving parking tickets for wedding houses frees the real police for real emergencies and real police work while still enforcing the existing land use codes! Win/Win situation if you ask me! ;)

    What are your Top Sowal Restaurants?

    I think top ten might be too many! lol 1. Stinkys 2. Fire 3. Caliza 4. Gravel Road 5. Bud N Alleys I have a couple of least favorite as well, but decided not to share them on this particular thread. We are truly blessed to have so many amazing places to eat in such a tiny area! :)

    Gracie was taken from our home...Hekp us find her...

    It sounds like you know who did it. Just call the police and have them waiting for the scum when they get home in Texas. :(

    Attention Restaurateurs

    Thats part of the problem though Kurt, as the total price is often an unknown until you get the final bill due to undisclosed charges and gratuities. A bit more transperency on the restaurants side is needed.

    Attention Restaurateurs

    I think way too much extraneous thought can be put into this subject. For me it boils down to just two simple things. 1. Don't decide for the customer where and how much they are tipping thus taking the decision from them. 2. I tip based soley on service. Good service equals good tip. Bad...

    Love those bugs!

    I thought you stated that you called the non emergency police number originally. If you had called 911 over bugs being too loud, its a miracle your not arrested... :idontno:

    Attention Restaurateurs

    I just wish someone would say who this counter based restaurant is so I don't have to waste my time and inadvertently find out their poor business practice after the fact.

    Rental Ordinance Will Just Not Die

    That analogy is severely flawed, as practically everyone has drivers licenses while only a very few are renting their homes for wedding events as a business. The bottom line is even if the existing laws were to be fully enforced, these wedding houses are still going to generate a constant...

    Rental Ordinance Will Just Not Die

    Many Walton County residents and property owners also believe that these wedding houses are a nuisance and disrupt the peace and enjoyment of locals and vistors alike and should be banned. All of you who value the right to enjoy your own property without that peace being infringed upon by...

    Which works best in SoWal? AT&T or Verizon?

    I have At&T and have no problems whatsoever on 30a. I had no issues either when heavy tourist use put a load on the system during spring break of this year. The one time in the last 4 years that I had to call AT&T concerning an issue, I was helped quickly, professionally and above and beyond...

    Corrupt Walton County

    Using a lack of support for Govenor Scott as your criteria for ousting the sheriff will only have the opposite effect, as he is losing support of all rationale humans including republicans. After reading your prior posts, your only purpose on these boards is abundantly clear. I have a feeling...

    SURF FISHING FOR SHARKs?

    I believe the little boy who was eaten and killed by a shark out by Pensacola a number of years ago, died primarily because his uncle was chumming and shark fishing from the shore. Its illegal for very good reason.
