In our neck of the woods Butler won another game yesterday and you should have heard all the whoopin' and hollerin' going on. (we live less than two miles from the campus) As much of a sports nincompoop as I am, I love all this March Madness every year so I know where you're coming from!

Hi jomoty. If you are arriving the first weekend of June, we have availability (starting Saturday June 5) at our studio condo. It's VRBO listing Seagrove Beach, Florida vacation rental by owner: 0 bedroom Condo rental that sleeps 4. Now Offering Free Wireless Access at Fabulous Mermaid Cove...

Maybe SWGB will step in and explain in everyday English. He has a good grasp of things like this. But the way I read it, I (for example) can rent my condo to a vacationer who stays a week. I do not personally need a license to do this. I'd say most of us fit the bill in that respect...

Walton County, FL - Home Page - Planning Commission Info on the Walton County Planning Commission with names of the members and phone number. Maybe if the Commission gets enough calls and letters they will start to listen. GoodWitch can't be the only one making inquiries or more trees will be...

WaterSound.

Just curious, but is there an increased police presence during the spring break weeks?

The suburb just north of us, Carmel, Indiana, has dozens of roundabouts. The mayor went wild replacing all the intersections. Courtesy of their dept. of engineering, a tutorial: Carmel, Indiana Department of Engineering BTW, they're not hard to use once you get the hang of them, though I...

If you want to save yourself the drive, Ebay is a very good source for yarn. I've gotten some lovely Italian and Turkish yarns via winning bids, and for a lot less than it would cost at specialty shops. Though I have to admit that although it's practical, the tactile aspect of yarn buying at a...

Just to clarify, this is what the DBPR has to say in regard to public lodging establishments: Does Not Need DBPR License Condominium rented as transient housing by a Condominium Association as defined in Chapter 718.103, F.S. if the Condominium Association does not own the unit. DOES...

Here's some before pictures

Paradise Rentals Paradise Properties Vacation Rentals & Sales - Destin, Grayton, Santa Rosa Beach, Seaside, Seagrove, Panama City Beach Real Estate I do a bit of the footwork and that's why I get that rate. If I wanted full-service the percentage would be higher. I've been very happy with...

I too use VRBO, but as a supplement to my local rental agency. It's a nice compromise. Anyone who wants to rent my condo contacts me first through VRBO and then I turn the reservation over to the agency and they take it from there. I like it because I get to screen the renters first but I...

One of the happiest sounds ever, that of a sultry summer evening and the voices of cicadas filling the air. Thank you Kurt!!!

Last month when we were taking a walk to Seaside I saw all the ribbons on the trees so I took photos of all of them. It breaks my heart that they're being cut down. They're such beautiful old trees.

You could PM TooFarTampa and GoToTheBeachMom as both of them own property in Seacrest that they rent out to vacationers.

I wish you the best of luck in the new WaterColor location and I count the days until April when we'll be there to check it out in person! :wub:

If you feel that way, why are you adding to the post count? Kurt has indicated his preference that this thread sink into oblivion. (and as long as I'm posting I'm of the opinion that adults have the wherewithal to find the "delete" button...it's unfortunate that Craige didn't use it. :( )

Home tour today was fabulous! All the homes were different but each was beautiful. Anyone who missed it this year should definitely try to make it next year. And consider volunteering, too. Merman and I worked the afternoon shift at one of the homes in WaterColor and we met the nicest...

Now it clicks. I got a reservation request from someone from Boston only yesterday, and it was obvious they had never been to SoWal before. They must have read this article. I found out about SoWal from reading a similar article 25 years ago in the Atlanta-Journal Constitution. Ha! and they...

Thanks for asking the question I was going to ask. It looks like if we want to see SoWal this weekend, we'd better find another way. Fifteen minutes waiting on top of all those hours already in the car would be the last straw!:bang:

Yes, the Pelayo beach access is wonderful, especially the landing with benches at the top of the bluff. We walk over with cups of coffee in the morning and a nice beverage at sunset. ;-)

My husband and I are more than willing to help. He has experience working with Habitat for Humanity and I take instruction well, so put us to work wherever you need us! I'll get in touch with you, okay? :wub:

My husband and I have owned a condo at Hidden Beach Villas since 2005 and I am on the board of directors. All the units are 500 square feet, the assessments are under $300/month, and we are steadily working on improving the grounds and structure. Our management is very competent and the...

You should have seen the newspaper headline this morning. Only a little bit happy. ;-) Indianapolis has been a sea of royal blue and white for weeks now. Everyone is decked out head to toe in team colors and there is a collective good mood in the city that's really nice to see. I'm a...

Anyone could tell you that what I know about football could fit on the head of a pin, but I do know my cooking! And to get you going in the right direction, take a look at our newspaper's food pages which, as you can imagine, have plenty of hints on what to make for the game. IndyStar.com |...

Not the quite the same as seeing it up close and personal, but a good substitute nonetheless: Flickr: The moon whores Pool

All the same, we didn't catch you in the water, did we? :lol:

You're the second person in as many days who has talked about a wonderful meal at George's. I think we'll have to try it sometime this week. Thanks!

I rest my case. This is what my daughter had for dinner last Friday. This is the girl who (still) refuses to eat any meat that has a bone in it "because it's so gross, Mama." We let her loose in Italy and within a month she's eating octopus. And liking it, too! What has the world come...

And I will be missing it by a mere two days! :bang: I hope this becomes a yearly event so I can catch it another time!

Mark T. Wendell - London Fruit & Herb Teas I grew up with this tea company. My mother is the daughter of two Irish immigrants so she knew a good cup of tea. I think she'd sooner have died of thirst than drink Lipton off the grocery shelf! She always ordered from Mark Wendell, and it was...

It's coming up to that time of year where nothing warms the soul better than a soothing cup of hot tea. Who loves tea? And what kind of tea? Black, green, herbal, fruit infusion...what are your favorites? What brands and flavors are tastiest to you? I'm drinking a cup of Celestial...

All's well that ends well. I go for the 'in the dog house' theory, and it must have worked itself out because our mysterious sleeper obviously has not had another moonlit night on the water. ;-)

Hold on a minute SmileyJ. Give us the Cliff Notes. How do you know it's not his canoe and from whom did he borrow it? Is this an honest thief or a prearranged night out under the stars? A bet? An argument? What do you know, oh ye who tantalizes us with only bits and pieces of the story?

I've been through a million irons it seems (I like to wear linen so I actually iron as much as our resident Iron Queen :biggrin:). I've bought everything from Rowenta to General Electric and I've killed them all! I therefore say buy the "Best Buy" that Consumer Reports recommends even though...

A $1500 Old Town canoe is impressive, too. I don't think I'd spend too much time worrying about this guy. ;-)

So what's the shopping report from this morning? Anyone buy any funn things or get any good bargains?

With a bonus on some of them! Or should it be a bounty? :lol:

I love this! The 29th is my birthday and although I always knew it was the feast day of St. Michael the Archangel, I didn't know that anyone but the English really celebrated it. (It's Michaelmas there and they eat goose for dinner traditionally.) I think I will ditch the poultry from now on...

Are you one of those scullilous people who reads the first chapter of a book and skips right to the ending? :floor:

DuneLaker, it takes no special insight and balance to know that it's all about the money. Always has been, always will. People sell to whomever offers them the best deal for their property. And why shouldn't they if it's legal and above-board?

So the tide has turned and rich foreigners are buying US homes? Should anyone be surprised given how cheap it is for them? The exchange rate is in everyone's favor these days. Unless you happen to be American. We've spent decades buying homes in foreign lands--Provence and Tuscany, as only...
