Everything has been so iffy regarding sports this season that we didn't know what to do. So there are no pickems this weekend. How do you all feel about starting up next weekend, or just forgetting this season do to teams going down with COVID-19? BTW just for watching purposes, here is one...

I am, and I know that cnestg8r is! 30ASkunkape, could you be our leader again? Looking for volunteers and players.

A set of house keys were found attached to a university lanyard on the bridge leading out of NatureWalk. They are in the Sales and Model center for whoever is looking for them! May want to share if you have renters in your house.

It's not to late to join the pick'ems. Last week carson killed us by three games. So you still have a chance to play. Saturday picks are due before the scheduled game time (not kickoff time) of the first Saturday game which is usually 11 a.m. CST/CDT. If your picks are submitted late on...

The Coastal Living House in Seagrove is featured in the December/January issue of Coastal Living magazine. As builder Peter Horn of Artisan, Inc., says of Seagrove, "Locals have strived to maintain that historic character. We like the sandy, unpaved roads and the old oak trees that create a...

Do any of you remember the three maps that were posted on sowal.com/bb regarding adding an additional outlet from 30A between 395 and S. WaterSound Pkwy? I can't seem to find it. I had planned to be there two weeks in late July, and the traffic trapped me in so badly that I decided to leave...

I heard from a reliable source that there is a lot of trash at the Eastern Lake outfall. I'd check it out myself, but I'm recovering from a broken back, so I can hardly walk. What can be done about the trash? I'll pick up toys, plastic cups, etc., when I see them on the beach, but not used...

Don't buy a place with the expectation of rentals helping to pay your mortgage unless it's just a business for you and you have no concern about your things being stolen or danaged. We built a big place with the expectation of rentals helping with the mortgage. We felt that is was our home that...

Traffic is backed up in Seagrove due to the county painting lines on the new asphalt. Be prepared for a wait.

How did the 30A Songwriters Festival go? We couldn't attend because a frozen water pipe burst at our home in GA. I went last year by myself because hubby had to work. But it was so cold that I sat in my car outside Crush and listened to the music. That was the only venue I attempted. Looks like...

As I've said before, the layout at WaterColor Publix has changed drastically. I just remapped it today. Hope the attachment makes your shopping trips quicker. Happy New Year!

Pizza Bar has a new chef and a new menu. The pizza choices haven't changed, and the prices haven't increased. But I did a takeout, and the pizza was smaller relative to the box. Still great. The new chef is going local, and I like that. I'll miss the Caprese, but face it, tomatoes aren't great...

Get ready to be confused when you go to the WaterColor Publix. They are remodeling and rearranging things. The most notable to me are that wine is where chips and water were, beer is in the corner where the tequila mix was, milk is where the beer was, chips are where the wine was. I need to...

I need some great tomatoes and cucumbers for our neighborhood supper club on Saturday. What time do things shut down this time of the year? We're leaving for SoWal on Saturday AM. A 4.5 hour drive with Miss Pepper.

We went to The Bay for the first time yesterday. The food is outstanding. We especially loved the dishes with an Asian flair, such as the Thai-Molly (play on words for tamale). The depth of flavors was divine. Can't wait to try more things on the menu. Chef Shirley has done it again -- kudos to him!

We have a Mediacom HD cable box (by Pace) connected to a Panasonic HD TV and a Marantz AVR. EVERYTIME we arrive at the house, the TV isn't working. We get a message that says, "No signal. Ensure that the external device is turned on and properly connected to the TV's input. Select the source by...

I love Insalata Caprese. Note to all restaurants everywhere: If your tomatoes aren't good, please notify your guests that this option is off the menu that day. Please don't serve it with tasteless, mushy tomatoes. Thank you very much.

The Gators looked terrible tonight. One three. Bad offense. Bad defense. One of the Gators' top players, Scotty Wilbekin, played horribly -- 4 points, 4 fouls. I don't understand why Kasey Hill got so much playing time as badly he was doing with 7 points, and fouls. Patric Young only has 4...

Yeah. I'm looking for a Northern Italian restaurant with hand cut ravioli for the primi in South Walton County. With great food obviously.

I was thinking about a pick'ems soiree. January 11 or 18 are my first suggestions. The 25th is not an option for us because it's our daughter's birthday. Everyone who has ever been involved in the pick'ems is invited (especially 30ASkunkape). If those dates don't work, we'll have to make it...

My Mediacom Internet and TV service is not working. They say that no one else in my area has called to report this so I must schedule a repair appointment next week. Well, essentially it's a ghost town in our neighborhood so probably no one knows their service isn't working. Is anyone else...

Two Pottery Barn twin-sized Lewis headboard slipcovers in the organic basketweave fabric. See http://www.potterybarn.com/products/lewis-slipcovered-headboard/?pkey=cupholstered-beds-headboards& for more info. The slipcovers are in their original unopened box. Paid $350.75 for them earlier...

Barefoot BBQ on Sunday: Excellent. Brekky today: Donut Hut. Much better than Donut Hole, but he says it's worth the expense. Dinner tonight: Whiskey Bravo. Best ever fried grouper sandwich with a blue cheese spinach salad. Tomorrow: Dunno his plans. BTW I didn't drive down with him. I...

As I've said many times, we bought flood insurance for our home in South Walton (even though it's not in a flood zone) after Katrina. Remember when insurance companies were denying claims for hurricane damage because they said it was flood damage? There have been several sinkholes in Georgia...

Looking for an inexpensive, used 4WD Jeep to keep in the garage at our home at the beach. Sometimes we drive down together in one car and need a second vehicle if someone needs to get to the Atlanta airport or we just want to go different places.

Just to save you some time when you make your grocery list for shopping at the Watercolor Publix, here's my map of what's on each aisle. It saves me so much time because I can avoid backtracking. BTW the people who work at this store are VERY helpful, but this helps me as well.

Chair for sale. Just picked it up yesterday (4/20/13) at the interior designer' home where I had it shipped. We are too tall for it (daughter and son-in-law 6'3", hubby 6'8"). I forgot to check seat height before I bought it. Oops! On sale for $1095 (normally $1295). Cost me $1451.26 (including...

I looked at weather.com that indicated there are some flooded roads in Walton and Holmes County. Is 81 open? Is 20 from Bruce to Freeport open? How about in South Alabama? Never mind. We aren't driving down today.

I very rarely have a Bloody Mary. Like once every couple of years. The best one I've ever had was at Stinky's, but I can't remember the bartender's name because I'm not a good listener. :blush: The ones she makes are like a salad in a drink with a shrimp on top. While on a break from work, I am...

Still looking for a replacement for my 80s Clairol True To Light mirror. Can't find anything as bright. Without it, my eyebrows look like heck, plus without it I can't see the three hairs on my chin that have needed plucking ever since I was in my twenties. I have bought many lighted makeup...

Any restaurants serving blackeyed peas with hog jowl, turnip greens, and cornbread on New Years Day? Yes, they're easy to cook, but I will be fried after moving into a new home. :) Oh, I'll bet Great Southern will be open on New Years Day. Is that right?

Which restaurants are closed between now and before Christmas? I heard that Borago is closed this week. Are there others?

I am deciding on a new washer and dryer for the beach. I have my eye on a Samsung and an LG set. Does anyone in South Walton service those brands? Or should I go with old-school brands like Maytag, GE, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, etc.? Where I live in GA, no one services Sub-Zero. Well, they make a...

We were staying at my sister's house in Summer's Edge. We've been there so many times, but I think it was Labor Day weekend when the followinh occurred. It was late on Saturday night, and we heard loud sounds outside. We walked outside, and there was a flat-bed eighteen wheeler with a forklift...

I am looking for a used multi-speed adult tricycle for someone with long legs (me). I want multi-speed because I have a knee injury and want to be able to change gears to avoid stressing my knee.

Friday night: Borago was excellent. We both went with the Caesar and angel hair with shrimp. Saw SJ and sat next to the couple who is giving Cheri her first grandchild. <3 Saturday breakfast: I've already posted about brekkie at Fire. Excellent. Skipped lunch. Saturday dinner: Pizza Bar...

When we first visited Seaside in the late 80s, the old fashioned village-look was so cool and attractive. Everything seemed consistent architecturally. Then modern-styled concrete high-rises were built. Beachfront has stayed pretty much the same, but that property is so valuable that I am...

We are in-between houses. We need a rental next week for a few days preferably east of 395 and Pepper friendly (standard poodle who is crate trained). We have a walk-through for the construction of our new home.

Does anyone know if it's over? According to Regional Utilities' website, there has been no statement that it has been cancelled. http://www.regionalutilities.net/ My dog is loving the Dasani! LOL.

We were cleaning out the owner's closet in the garage and found a case of wine. The Two Hands Shiraz from Australia that we drank last night was marvelous -- we paid $25, the going retail price is in the $60s. Today we opened a Chardonnay -- it was reddish in color and tasted terrible, even...

Perfect condition. Just prefer the Canon Mark III due to high ISO. $1300 for the 7D or best offer. Just bought a Mark III. $3600 for the Mark III from 17th Street in NYC.

The father of a UA player dropped and shattered the $300,000 Waterford crystal trophy for Bama's national championship. Oops! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qopCoeOLps

Where in South Walton can I find Jelly Bellys? I am getting together things to put in our Easter baskets. Jelly Bellys are our favorite Easter candy, so I MUST have them. Do you fill Easter baskets for your family? Just for the children, or adults too? (Adults at our house -- even my...

Jeremy Foley was on my s--- list regarding his good friend Zook. He was gracious enough to engage in emails with me about the future of Gator athletics. Thankfully he hired Meyer. Donovan got back-to-back national championships, and Meyer led the football team to two national championships. I...

I'm starting to get excited about March Madness. Anyone else? Hey, Lady D, we have TN at the O'Dome today at 4 EST!

It's no secret that hubby and I really like Great Southern for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Now I'm seeing lobster mac and cheese advertised on SoWal.com. Is that a new menu item, or a chef's special? Lobster mac and cheese=yummylicious!

Looking for pool furniture that doesn't look like it came from Wal-Mart or Home Depot, will stand up to renters, won't rust or rot due to the weather, and doesn't cost a fortune. Does anyone have any ideas of where I can buy something like that between Destin and Panama City? I need 6 chairs...

According to Regional Utilities, there is a boil water advisory from Montigo Avenue in Seagrove and eastward as of yesterday afternoon. The website says it's still under effect. Our dog is loving drinking the Dasani. I've never seen her drink that much (not excessively, but more than normal)...

I am so happy to see that Flip-Flops is open in the off-season. I heart their Gorgonzola burger!

What is the purpose of the CCCL if property owners can feel free to build to the south of it?
