Grayton Sunset Get-Together

Nah! Been there done that! Poor SS is really sick. She sounds like Darth Vader on a really bad day!!

GTTBM, could it be the effects of the Red Tide, or is it better now. Please tell her I hope she feels better real soon!!

We're not sure. She was out and about with Molly girl on Sunday and Monday. So could be? She sounds worse today than she did yesterday. She thinks she may have picked up a bug from her daughter.

Did you say darth vader?

The funn's should send Laner over with some Matzo Ball soup in honor of Roshashanna. Mazel Tov!

Tell her we're thinking about her. It's not the same without her!

Our daughter is so excited today - her GA Tech classes got cancelled due to Rosh Hashana. She is such a Methodist that she had no clue what that is. I mean, there is not one Jewish person in our town. We, on the other hand, went to "Jew-lane University" (aka Tu-lane), so people assume my husband and I are Jewish, which is okay with us. No matter how hard you try, if you live in a small town, it's hard to prevent your children from being provincial.

She's saving up! It'll be good. Be prepared.:clap_1:

My first job up here was at an agency and the majority of my co-workers were Jewish...mostly from Long Island and NJ. It was actually cool being exposed to something different. My bosses last name was Shriftman. Hello!

By the time I left the gentiles outnumbered the jews. But I think the jews may be back on top!

My husband was a "social affiliate" for a Jewish frat at Tulane. He's 6'8" and played intramural sports for them because they hd the best parties. The Gentile frats at Tulane had keg parties; the Sigma Alpha Mu's had open-bar Chivas, whatever (and anything else you might imagine) parties. One of our best buds at SAM got a plane for his 21st birthday. When we got bored in NOLA, we could just get on the plane and fly to the beach or wherever.

Yup, NYC is definitely a culture shock for us GRITS (Girls Raised In The South). But, like you said, in a cool way. Except at Columbia University, on my daughter's list of schools to apply to. But we didn't like the superior attitude of the NYC Jewish students there when we visited, as in, anyone not from "The City" is from the farm. That attitude didn't exist at Tulane, at least when we were there.

I am right now!!!!! :clap_1: Kids are watching a movie and hubby fell asleep... I'm the party animal of the family!

Wow! What a great outpour of support -- makes me feel warm and fuzzy. Thanks.

I guess I can see why some people may feel like I was upset, but in reality, I was just being honest and meant no ill will toward anyone. Please accept my appologies if you feel I slighted you. I sure didn't mean it to sound negative toward your biking visit, Sea Star. I'm just trying to shorten your list of to-do's and to-sees. If you are around on the weekend, you should ride up hwy 3280, in Freeport, to have a beer on the deck of the Outpost. You cannot miss it it is on the river, with plenty of motorcycle parking.

Thanks Joe. I didn't mean to cause such a stir, it just came across to me like we were idiots or something because we didn't know where Ed Walline is. You are right - doesn't sound like a big deal. I hear it mentioned a lot, and Gulf Place, and have seen GP, just didn't know what it was called. Thanks for the bike ride info. We probably won't spend a lot of time riding (would rather be on the beach) but that sounds like a neat place.

If that was an appology to SS, I'm sure that she will appreciate it! For the record SJ, we were not alone, in taking your comments that way. But, that's in the past and today is another great day! :clap_1:

I certainly did not intend my language to be offensive. I simply mean that Ed Walline Park is nothing to see - just a parking lot, a couple of picknic tables with construction workers and a beach walkover that is in disrepair. You most certainly are welcome to check it out, but Grayton Beach is much prettier.

I am actually having a good day Diane4145, and I am not being snooty.

Unless Ed Walline park is a place where something special happened in your life, it is uneventful.

What's so hard about, "not sounding snobbish"? I live off of 30A, but that doesn't give me the right, to be "snobbish"! :nono1: Attitudes like that are not only snobbish, but totally classless! :clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1: SS, I agree, it is a "free country". But, people like this can make people like us, not want to associate with, people like them! We're not all like that!

Diane, just curious, why do you think SJ would need to apologize to Sea Star? His comments were only unclear and confusing (to some on this board who don't know the area as well) and not intentionally offensive. All he needed to do was clarify. Which he did when he returned to his computer, in his typically pleasant manner.

Yet you jumped to conclusions and called his post "classless." I think if anything, you owe SJ an apology for being so quick to think ill of him, despite all he does for people -- strangers! -- on this board.

Warning! RANT MODE: Everybody just be yourselves and don't let anyone scare anybody on this board into 'proper' behavior. We're all adults more or less (me less - second childhood you know!) and if you can't take the heat take 2 prozac and try, try again. We all have our bad days and our good days and are common or snooty and right-wingers and liberals and that's what makes us individuals and not pretty little political correctness robots out to not harm anybody's feelings. Go screw yourself into the wall if you don't like me, or what I do, or what I say. I accept you just as you are and you can like me or not, I won't mind. I listen to you words and weigh them according to my experience and I may agree with them or not but they will not affect me in the long run as I am the result of my experiences not yours. I am me and you are you and so we go on, into the sunset at grayton with the blaring car stereos and cold water slopping coolers and the tents in the dunes and surf fishing tourists trying to catch the beachgoers instead of fish and the red tide and the biting flies and we try to ignore it all and have fun anyway. I like myself just fine, and I like you all too, just the way you are. 'Don't go changing to try and please me', and dont trip over your words trying to be polite or try to change my mind or the way I feel about something and remember that opinions are not permanent and nobody's trying to make you think a certain way and there are more things in this world that sting besides jellyfish. Use your brain, trust your feelings Luke and think for yourself. Like a lit paper bag on the mayor's lawn, it's what's inside that counts!

Wow, do I feel better!

Awww ya'll! I adore Joe! Big hug Joe Joe you wealth of knowledge! :clap_1:

SJ I took your comment just as you explained, but I decided to keep my nose out of this one!
...or, to use one of your favorites.....

I totally agree! Everyone is being a little sensitive these days. Chill!!! The last thing Joe is is snobbish. How ridiculous! That is a laugh.

Trurer words never spoken ;-)

So is the full moon on that Saturday or Sunday?

Ok guys, now that I have read all of your comments I understand what SJ meant, SORRY!!!!!!!! didnt mean to ruffle any feathers.....but like Kurt said, sometimes the written word does not come off exactly like you meant it to. I did NOT mean to say that SJ was "snobbish" I was trying to say that there have been some post that are not so visitor friendly, I have been on this board since november and have run across quite a few. I dont know SJ personaly, but I'm sure hes a great guy, I will try to chill next time and keep my comments to myself ;-)

SJ, there are currently too many fpt!! Let's all turn on Oprah and have a good cry.

Not to drag this thread on, but I was just wondering what fpt means?

mee too! what the lsmft is a fpt?

sounds awfully familiar, like maybe a pipe thread type on metal water pipe?

I know I've seen that somewhere!

mee too! what the lsmft is a fpt?

Now I need to know what lsmft means!!!!

Lost my posting acronym 101 book!
