How did you find SoWal.com????

Not sure? All I know is it is a way to be there without being there

Kurt said he was starting 'some small website' years ago and was worried nobody would post on it. (Hilarious, no?)

I believe my first post was a courtesy post.

Found the old board during Ivan, lurked for almost a year, could not believe all the great info and commisseration during Dennis ... never really left. This is the BEST place for info! But the people make it special.

How did I pass you on the post count? :nono1:

I guess you've been chatty

Those stickers! They were everywhere....

I guess you've been chatty

That was a hint, lurker!

I found Sowal.com I think in 2003 (was it up at that time?) or early 2004 when I was working in the real estate biz and heard about Kurt's virtual tours. I visited his websites and stumbled upon the sowal.com/bb.

Sowal was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met it.
I picked it out, I shook it up, and turned it around
Turned Sowal into something new
Now five years later on Sowal?s got the world at its feet
Success has been so easy for it
But don?t forget its me who put Sowal where it is now
And I can put it back down too


.......come to think of it -I've been trying to drag it down to the gutter for years.

Looking for information about the local area led me here. Finally joined just today

Now POST!!!

Well I?ve been busy with my memoirs. I got halfway through the first chapter and realized I have led a boring life ?and so I?ve been out creating havoc in the hopes of spicing up an otherwise abysmally dull life story.

So, I really only have time for these ?hit and run? postings now. But don?t fret, I?m always lurking and waiting for the opportunity to stir things up???

Don't .... don't you want us???
You know we don't believe you when you say that you don't need us.

Oh, well, a drive-by is better than nothing.

The opposite actually.

When I started posting the place was overrun with Neocon nut wacks who needed (and got) a serious a$$-whupping.

A quick scan of the Politics and Real Estate Forums haven?t delivered much traction for a sh!t disturber like myself.

Looks like you could all use some rhetorical Viagra however, as the conversations have gotten limp. No time now, but I?ll see if I can stir things up here soon. Toot-a-loo for now.

Thanks for clearing the way for the rest of us.

Most bizarre thing...I read this post, made a post of my own, got into the car, left for work and what do you think was the song on the radio??? I was floored! What are the odds??????

My husband found it a couple of years ago and i would frequent it for info and then last year i checked out the message board....so much funn!

I love being in touch every day with local news and my "chums" both near and far. There have been some amazing friendships formed on this board.

I found SoWal.com a couple of years back 05? 06? doing some searches for rentals. I lurked for quite a while and I think my first or second post was starting "Led away in handcuffs" thread. I don't check the board out too often but always seem to stay far too long..... The photos are what always leave me pining for the panhandle.

As to how I found SoWal.... had a trial honeymoon at Seaside in '93 at the recomendation of a travel agent friend and rented a tiny one bedroom guesthouse at Seaside in early October (can't remember the name). We combined that trip with a trip to New Orleans taking a convertable via the scenic route along the shore. We spent a week there that weekend. Drove back and had a few more wonderful days to recover.

The trial honeymoon worked out.. so this year it'll be 14 years.

We'll be there for spring break again this year - with the entrourage.

We just moved here & I saw the stickers all over the place. Logged on to see what was going on (just today) and found myself an aquarium : )
