Jerry Lewis was on Larry King trying to be funny in the conventional way, but he looked shocking in his present steroid-bloated appearance-- just like a balloon.
31
Shut up about the F'n pools on the corner.. Are you Larry by any chance?? There are so many  low areas around here that hold water those pools aren't a big deal.. Have you ever thought about taking up knitting??
31
Larry ruining your island? I think not. Beware, I think you are. OK, you're not involved. You don't know how one becomes president. Wow, sounds like you're batting a thousand. Think you should be running things? I don't think so. Hard work never killed anybody, but why take the chance? Larry, keep up the good work, the ignorant know not what they say. "People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest." - Hermann Hess

I couldn't agree more (fundraising). It has gotten to the point of ridiculous. We are people,.........people need our "funds" to. It's great to support animals. But let's not forget our human animal friends in need. Pete's situation is exactly the kind of fundraising event that makes perfect sense to support. Pete is a kind, hard working local who was at the wrong place at the wrong time. He needs our help,.....please support the fund raiser on Sunday! You will feel good helping a fellow human animal you can actually talk to!
30 Ed:Tomorrow's Kudos will be published late in the day, cause I'm away.
30 Larry Sullivan and his band of geriatric idiots need to get a life or take up a hobby! Why are they ALWAYS opposed to ANYTHING that goes on here. The Civic Association represents a minority of small minded individuals who'll be dead in a few years and who have way too much time on their hands while still breathing. I say lets all join the Civic Association and vote their asses out! Let's send them packing on their walkers!
 
BIG PINER'S BEWARE!!!  The Big Pine Civic Association and Larry Sullivan are ruining our island.  He has only lived here a short time and is opposed to every little thing here on the island.  How did he become head of the Big Pine Civic Association?  We need to get involved with our community and keep idiots like him from making decisions for us.
30 WHEN IS MOSQUITO CONTROL GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THOSE %#*& SWIMMING POOLS AT THE LIGHT ON BIG PINE KEY???????? WILL YOU GET OFF YOUR ASS AND TAKE CARE OF THIS??????????????????????ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!
30 DON'T WORRY IF YOU DON'T PRAY, I WILL PRAY FOR YOU. BELIEVE ME YOU NEED IT. PASS IT ON.
30

About Prayer. Yes, when you’re dead, you’re done (so let the good times roll—Ray Charles). Faith is not a reason to live. I agree that it would be easier, but some of us are forced to take total responsibility for our lives. Creation began thru evolution.
Friday
August 29
2003		 To the one who never prays- do you think when our lives here on earth end, that is it? Some horrors make it hard to believe, I agree... but without faith- why even live? Where did creation begin? We did not create ourselves.
29 Don't walk bare footed on big pine. Squashed bugs feel icky!
29
Now that the whales are gone and all the publicity is over, I'd like to see all the mess and damage done to the old swimming hole cleaned up. I only hope that is part of the overall plan after saving these whales. I can't believe all the B.S. that went along with the fundraising like collecting donations from businesses for an after release party. Everybody who lives here knows the people who party here on Big Pine may not have food or a real place to live but they always have plenty of money for partying. Let's keep the fundraising for those who really need it. We are starting to use the idea of fundraising the wrong way. We have to make sure we don't become too used to the idea of fundraising where we become complacent to those who really need our community's help,  like Pete who has lived here for over 20 years and who was beat to within inches of his life. His fundraiser is on Sunday. Much better to attend that than a fundraiser for a business.

2003		 Today in 1963 Martin Luther King delivered his "I have a dream speech". Powerful stuff.
28 To that writer who thinks everyone prays when something horrible happens: I don’t pray even when I’ve faced death and the many times I’ve suffered personal tragedy. I don’t believe in myth. The outcome is always the same regardless.

When my son was 15 he loved home made salsa.A locol guy brought us some every week. Now my son is 21 and a mp in Iraq.That same local guy brought me a stack of island music cd s  to send. He gave me 3 conch republic flags.
If you watch the news and in the most unlikly place  you see our flag flying proudly   thank C. W. Colt. Thank you much for supporting our kids.
28 While I was driving in my neighborhood, a child had stopped IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MAIN STREET, thrown his bookbag down in the street, and proceeded to tie his shoelace! He held up traffic. Anyone driving around the corner could have hit the child head-on! What on earth are you parents teaching your children? Play in the traffic?

Just remember..."I must be psychic because I know what I'm thinking"

2003		 To the person saying the Explorers and Cadets are little Nazi's? Where is your opinion coming from? Have you ever been to one or their meetings? That is one of the most off the wall statements I've ever read. The explorers and Cadets give the kids something FREE and fun to do. Helps build self confidence (something so many kids are lacking), teaches kids how to avoid harmful things like peer pressure and drug influences, and how to defend themselves against unwanted attention. It also teaches kids the benefits of community service. You who makes that statement about the Explorer program, are you one of the kids who couldn't cut it? What are you angry about? Or are you one of Big Pine's finest "got Beer and nothing else" population. How can anybody with even a semblance of brains think that empowering our children with knowledge and self worth is a bad thing. I wonder, Do you have children and where are they? Do you know or care?
27

How come they can put a man on the moon , but can’t make a proper Saran wrap dispenser for under the kitchen cupboards?
27 So people here help out some whales that are known as the Typhoid Mary's of the cetatous world (didn't you wonder why you couldn't go into the ocean for 24 hours after being with the whales). Now we loose a swimming hole we've used for many years. Is this really progress?
27 Spencer (Spencer's Reef MM20) is/was and old guy years ago and drank a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if he passed on. I'm sure one of the Mangrove Mama's bar mops could answer that question.

138 of our soldiers were killed during the Iraq war. As of today there were 138 American soldiers killed AFTER the war.
26 As predicted....on my morning walk I'm seeing piles of junk thrown into the woods, rather than paying Waste Management those new high hauling fees. As I said, the fees were increased due to Monroe County tacking on some tax or fee, for something really necessary I'm sure, like lunch or redecorating their offices or something like that. I suggest whenever you see junk in the woods that you drag it out to the COUNTY easement and call them to clean up THEIR mess. Just remember...for every action there's a reaction.
26 You don't want prayer in the schools or government buildings, but the moment children are shot in their classrooms, and filled Government buildings are bombed, killing thousands what do you do? Pray.
26

This is a
Commercial

 

 Ed: Sorry for publishing the Kudos so late yesterday, but I couldn't.  (It's hard having a life and running this thing alone seven days a week [with only three advertisers. Check out our rates. It's only $10-20 a month ]).
Running this site is lot of fun and I'm very pleased to write that it had over 3,500 visitors last month. That's a lot for an island with only 4,400 souls. Thank you all. Your wacky brains keep on making it happen.

BUTTERWORTH SYRUP!!!! IT WILL MAKE YOUR TONGUE SLAP YOUR BRAINS OUT, TRUST ME, ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!

Hey! did you all hear about the Big Pine chamber member getting the boot because he suggested no more prayer before the meetings, HELLO CHAMBER!!! this is not the bible belt nor are you the vineyard congregation!! The chamber needs to be a little more open to New, YOUNGER ideas! It could help you in the future because the bu-bu thing won't work for ever!

In the UNHOLY city of Mecca, the Islam temple leaders preach to the millions of rag head buffoons to MURDER Christians and Jews! Some sick-psycho "religion", huh?

I’m seduced by TV ads to buy some new fast food item, but when I get the food item it never looks like the commercial. I think that’s false advertising.

The police Explorers and junior cadets are unhealthy for children to belong to. They are frightenly reminiscent of the Hitler Youth movement without the Sam Brown belts These children should try the Boy Scouts and nature not crime and punishment.

Obviously you've never had real Canadian Bacon!!! Not the thing they pass off here in the US as Canadian Bacon. It's fabulous and definitely much more than an ingredient. Slow news week eh?

The only presidential candidate who has a good health care plan is Gephardt (even though I’d never trust an albino). He wants National Health Care-now. The Dems want to phase their plan in over time and only cover the uninsured. That means that savy employers will cancel their employees’ health care so they can be covered by the national plan which the Dems don’t have money to include.

Most relationships that youth have seem to be confrontational. They can never just get along. It’s always a crisis. I hate pouty American teenagers who don't know lucky they are.

On COPS, I saw the police smoke-bomb raccoons in a home. See where the mom exits & seal it up.
22 Costa Rica and Canada are the only two countries I know of that don't have a national (food) dish. Example: USA=apple pie, hot dogs and hamburgers. i don't think you'd call Canadian bacon a national dish--it's just an ingredient.
22

If they’re re-calling Gray Davis for a 35 Billion deficit how come they don’t recall Bush for the 450 Billion? It just proves that Californians are a lot hipper than the rest of us.
22 I have to say, Canada keeps their country clean. No guns, no trash. The Canadian side of Niagara Falls is richly landscaped, with lush flowers, trees and scrubs. All those photos of the Falls you see are taken from the Canadian side. The US side has done nothing. You will find NO trash on the sidewalks, streets or ground in Canada.

A proud American,  Mr. H.T. Pontin, brought up an issue about his Constitutional Property Rights at the BOCC meeting Wednesday and after they joked about it, they laughed him right out of the room. I guess they showed him what Communist think of  his silly old obsolete U.S. Constitution.
21 While Saudi Arabia prohibits Christian worship (even in your own home) we have to tolerate the Islam/Muslim BS here in the US! Ban it!

To that Canadian...all Canada is good for is bacon and plastic Egrits.

I have a mother raccoon and her babies living in my attic.  We trapped the male and he's been relocated.  Recently the female chewed through hardware cloth (unbelieveable) on the roof vent. Animal control says I have to capture the female and the babies which is difficult given they only have one trap to lend me. The babies are now about 10 inches long (for some reason she had one out on the porch). Will the family move out on its own eventually? I want them out so if anyone knows of a local pest company that will do it please let me know.  Thanks.

It looks like all the Iraqis hate us. What are we to do? I’m beginning to understand what  an Israeli feels like.

I bought a $30 backpack with wheels from K Mart and took it around the world over dirt roads, jungle mountains and through rivers and over rocks. The wheels held until I took it off the conveyor belt at the KW airport--that’s when a wheel fell off. That was the best $30 I ever spent.

The Native Americans & Conchs were here before the US was bulging at the seams with illegals who suck the US benefits dry without paying a cent in taxes. Pay taxes or leave the US. I urge all readers to contact the Immigration & Naturalization Service to report all suspected illegals.

2003		 No telling what creatures lie deep in the earth's water's. Instead of exploring the ocean (and purifying some of that saltwater for household use), funding has provided for space exploration instead. Not to mentioned the BILLION$ thrown at ego-maniac wars & third world countries without birth control.

It looks like they have more gasoline in Iraq than Phoenix, Arizona.

The good news is that Idi Amin the brutal dictator of Uganda is finally dead. What an animal. He was never held accountable for killing over 300,000 people. He was exiled to Saudi Arabia (where else?).

How about those rocks on Summerland Key? Do you think I could have one? They’ve been there long enough. Maybe two.
18 Some other countries may charge higher taxes, but those same countries do not allow millions of illegal immigrants live & work tax free either. When all the illegals have to pay taxes, that alone is enough to jump start a National Health Care system. The Bush boys welcomed all of Cuba and Mexico to move here and freeload, so when will these two illegal-immigrant-loving anti-American's be voted out of office?

These people have to be kidding with the Loch Ness monster. If there is one he must be over a hundred years old and very horny because there is no Mrs. Ness or someone would have seen the happy couple already.

My wish for the New Year is for the South Park critters to get feet.
17 Australia also has National Health Care. The US could take a lesson & give healthcare for all US CITIZEN'S instead of just treating the third world foreigner's for free.
17 Unfortunately the Canadian health care system has it's flaws. Both doctors, who've billed the govt. for patients they never had and everyone with a hang nail or headache overburdening the system have left it in a bit of a sorry state. Now you're put on a waiting list for surgery unless it's life threatening...right this minute. I had a friend who had to wait 5 months for a triple bypass and kept herself alive on Nitro pills. It does beat the fact that she'd either die in the street here or have to sign her house over to the gov't. for the privilege of them saving her life. So yes something would be better than nothing.
17 Canada is not a greater nation than the U.S. but it is as great a nation as any other. Our healthcare system, for it's many flaws is the envy of many, including our neighbours to the south. It is surprising the most powerful and wealthy nation on the face of the globe would allow its citizens health and well being to be ruled by the insurance cartel. But remember we in Canada pay increased taxes for this benefit but it's well worth the cost.

I went to a bar last night and when I got home I was going to take a shower to remove the cigarette smoke from my hair, but there was no odor in my hair or clothes (other than my normal B.O.) I just love this smoking ban.

So does anyone recall that the joke of a fundraiser for Montego Bay?, It was suppose to be going to the families, that meant to all involved! well the only person who got it was ED!!!! God sometimes this community makes NO sense! And I'd also like to know WHY habitat for humanity is helping???? They need to get their shit together and get all those families in their homes before they start helping a poor ass, NASTY, restaurant like Montego bay. And the thought of the rotary sending out bank envelopes to people for direct deposit into Ed's bank account is preposterous!! Come on The only thing I recall Montego Bay doing for the community was ONE fundraiser back in 99. So what about the people who lost their apartments next to Montego Bay, Did the Chamber or rotary help them????? Oh! probably not, they weren't parting with you to earn your help!! Come On Big Pine!! It's o.k. to ask questions!

I noticed the big billboard by Boca Chica Naval Air Station firing range is gone and there is no sign to the place. I’ll bet it’s because of security.

Spencer's Reef: I think Spencer tried to sell it for years but was asking too much at the time. I haven't seen him in ages and wonder if he's still alive?
14 I took a picture of a white heron on the old dock at Spencers’ reef and he came out and threatened me like a madman. I think he lost it a long time ago.
14 I have a prediction..... We are going to see lots of dumping of yard waste on vacant lots in the future! I just called to get a price to pick up a load of yard waste and it has now jumped to $275.00. It was $55.00 a year ago and then jumped to $105.00 now $275.00. This is the last load they get me to pay for! Like our garbage fees aren't high enough now our illustrious county government has added a huge surcharge to waste managements already lofty fee. It's robbery AGAIN!!!!!
14 To the person wondering what to do about their 14 year old cat's loneliness during the spouses absence. A simple solution might be to place a small piece of lead in the cats left ear. This can easily be accomplished by putting a large revolver to its right ear and pulling the trigger.

I've noticed that all the rage these days are website awards. When looking at them, they all seem to want you to send them money so they can honor you so I've created my own and am awarding your website the prestigious honor and it's free. Attached is your award to post on your site.
Congratulations on a job well done. I talk to many people these days who go to your site.
13   I am looking for any information on the property known as spencers reef.  It is located at 20001 over seas hwy next to mangrove mamma's.  If anyone knows its history and why it went from having several docks to an abandoned lot please inform me.

2003		 I was watching an ESPN towing competition and this red-necked truck driver couldn’t even pronounce “truck”. He said “trook” (like crook). Amazing.
12 My cat is 14 years old and my spouse just went on vacation. My worry is that the cat will die because they usually die when their major lover leaves. Has anyone ever noticed that?

Do any of you know what mixed liquor drink has the fewest calories? I’m ready to switch.
12 Why waste time & money buying a book on homosexual disorders when an entire gay community is available for explanation? To respond with obvious hostility shows the very hate I questioned. And no, straight people do not all know a gay man enjoys being "male".
12 To the "white business owner" blasting off at the remark that the NAACP tried to turn a suicide into a racial murder. You have an anger management problem and live in denial. Relax before you have a heart attack.

$55,000,000.00 is the amount the Boston Catholic Co. is going to pay abused people. Where does all this money come from? That’s right, the faithful little old ladies and poor people who give all they can to the church. How unholy.

to the person asking why gay people hate women, Is that ONE gay person you know??? because I know several gay people and they love women, and as for gay people wanting to be women!! Let me explain since you seem to need help, Gay, means liking the same sex so a gay man likes being a man having relations with another man. So if you've met a person who hates women and wants to be a women, DON"T label them as gay!!! My question to you is why are you soooooo interested to take the time and put it on this website??? Go get a book!
10 To the person opposed to the Montego Bay Fund raiser.......I'm with you, the food was the absolute worst! There are lots of people hurting more than the owners and I think their plight should be supported. Maybe if it's rebuilt they'll hire someone who knows how to cook...a novel idea!!!

Bigotry? What do tax-evading freeloaders have to do with bigotry? PAY US TAXES OR LEAVE.

To the ignorant person who wrote in on the black and the NAACP, What the hell does that have to do with our community???! Guess what buddy this is 2003 being a prejudice jerk is out. I'm a white business owner here on Big Pine, and I support diversity along with MANY others in our community. Cultures don't always blame things on race but there is still ignorance like you who waste five minutes of your life putting things like that on a community website. SUGGESTION... move to the hills because diversity is here and its going to stay!

It's a sad day when the community comes together to support a fundraiser that helps a really bad restaurant like Montego Bay.  The food was lousy.  Even some Rotary members that met for their weekly meeting, didn't eat the food.  Why didn't anyone have a fundraiser for the people that worked at Monte's when they lost all their jobs because the owner had no loyalty to them after many years of service?  Why didn't those same people who supported the fund-raiser for  Montego Bay, show up and help the people who lost their HOMES (they lost family pictures, clothes, toys personal affects and a place to sleep) and donate to their cause?  Those people lost more than poor old Ed!!

Stop using your heritage (native American or Conch) to bash others. Who cares where you’re from? That’s not an excuse for intolerance and bigotry.

Attention Afro-Americans. Don’t commit suicide by hanging yourself. Did you see all the turmoil caused by that unfortunate soul in Florida who hung himself? There were rumors of lynching and the NAACP had to step in to order an inquest to prove that he hung himself. His family even said his hands were tied. Come to find out he was super drunk (blood-alcohol .334%) and a video showed his hands were hanging (pardon the pun) loosely by his side.

1. VW Beetle- It was too expensive for VW to make the series 1 "real" Beetle comply with USA emissions and safety standards.
People wouldn't pay more for a "Beetle" than a Buick, because the Beetle was percieved as an economy car. So Germany started working on their water cooled cars with front wheel drive more performance and even better economy. Rather forward thinking actually. VW would be out of business now if they stuck with yesterday's seies 1 technology at today's prices. I had ten real Beetles,.....I wish I lived here then so I wouldn't mind not having HEAT!!

VW Beatle. There was no market in the US for the bug and the major market in Maxico was as Taxi cabs, but when the new anti-kidnapping law went into effect this year it said that all public taxis had to be 4-doors to allow passengers to exit when they wanted. That made the 2-door bug obsolete.

I WAS IN THE AREA TODAY AND YESTERDAY AND LAST WEEK. THE NASTY RAIN WATER IS GETTING DEEPER AND DEEPER WITH EACH AND EVERY RAIN. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT YOU CHECK THE FILL STATIONS AT DIVE SHOPS AND YET YOU LET THIS HAPPEN HERE ON THE ISLAND. YOUR GRADE IS ALSO AN F FOR FAILURE TO THE CITIZENS OF MONROE COUNTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!TO YOUR JOB AND TO YOURSELF. NEXT TIME YOU GET BIT DON'T BLAME THE MOSQUITO AND FOR GOD SAKE I HOPE YOU DON'T GET THE WEST NILE VIRUS.

I am with the Native American. We are americans and we cannot understand the jibberish they are spouting out.  They're probably saying were just American Idiots. If you live here you need to speak english. Ever ask a Spanish clerk at Winn Dixie a Question and they look at you like you have two heads...Some speak english and still won't help you, That would make them have to do something..
4 About the VW Beetle, it was a terrible marketing idea to move the plant to Mexico. For years people who were coming of age wanted a Beetle, but there were none to be found. Big loss of sales, very bad decision!

Does anyone know what is happening with the big rocks along the highway on summerland? What are they doing there?
2 Well, now that mini lobster season is over,  we can look forward to our Island smelling like rotting lobster heads.  Have they no respect on how to dispose of the heads properly?  Winn Dixie and the Gas Station definitely are not the place.

Pet peeve No.17. People who drive their boat with the Diver Down flag up. Does that mean that they have a diver down while they’re cruising at 30 knots? The flag is not a decoration. It means that you have a diver down. I see boats docked at the marina with the flag up and there‘s no one around. The guy must just think it looks cool or something.

August 1, 2003		 This is a first people praising code enforcement, unfortunately code enforcement is
always used by an angry neighbor to get even, for what ever bothers them our
local property association keeps Karen extremely busy with nonsense I'm living here
13 yrs and never had code enforcement on my road until the newly formed property
association made Karen bass there personal vendetta agent.
1 Hmmm...pro code enforcement...is that you Dayton? It's not the code enforcement that's so bad it's the hypocrisy! The very same code officers are trying to do work at their own places or county buildings without benefit of permitting and then busting others for doing the same. Also if they made the system just a little more user friendly maybe more people would comply, but that's not the game around here. They want to make it uncomfortable so you won't want to build. By the way.. make sure you don't have the kid next door mow your lawn, unless he's a licensed contractor that is. We wouldn't want you to do anything illegal.

I have lived here for over 2 years now. I have not had any problems with any county workers. From code enforcement (nancy dowling) to the county sheriff who helped when my wife was in an accident,...they were top notch. Courteous and helpful. I bought a house with lower enclosure issues. Nancy Dowling is being just great with helping me get it in compliance. And guess what that DIDN'T require a payoff, just a little respect for the RULES!!!!
31 We need code enforcement. Without them what use would rules be? This place would look like Miami. The only time I had trouble with them was when I did something wrong. If you get caught--take the pain!
31 There was a newscaster on NPR with an accent. Newscasters should not have an accent. Many foreigners learn English from listening to American news. The news is the last place to find proper English spoken in our world today. Is nothing sacred?

Word processor software needs another two keys. One with a period that is half way up the font that can be used to put in between words instead of a dash; and another key to cross out a word and still leave the word in the text. That would be good to express humor and wit by an implied mistake.

29 You know, all of you Big Pine Whiners would not have any dealings with CODE ENFORCEMENT if you would be doing things legal. Oh yeah, Ms. Karen Bass puts a red tag on your house for building a fence without a permit. Maybe if you Big Pine Jerks would do the right thing in the first place you wouldn't have your fence torn down, or you wouldn't have thousands of dollars to pay in fines. All I can say is stop your Bitching and do the right thing in the first place.

How come Clinton was so persecuted because he saluted incorrectly and Bush isn’t? Did you ever notice Bush’s salute? It’s a two part affair. The correct way to salute is to bring the hand smartly down to your side. There’s no jerking the hand off the forehead and then bringing it down.

26 I have lived on Big Pine Key for 23 years. Yes, 23 years. and I LOVE IT HERE!!! I think all you folks who have so many complaints about Big Pine could easily find another place to live and then all of us that live here actually enjoying all that life on Big Pine brings, could remember what it was like before the rest of the world found Big Pine. It sure would be a whole lot quieter. My kids were born here. My son actually can find something to do every day that doesn't include drugs or alcohol. He dives every day that the weather allows. I am always amazed how many people live here that don't like the ocean or hot weather. WHY ARE YOU HERE? This is an amazing place. We have nature here like no where else in the USA. We have clean air. cleaner water than anywhere else along the shoreline. We have always had a live and let live attitude here. and it should remain so for many years to come. Remember, isn't that why so many of you moved here? Yes we have characters here also. But all great places have lot's of local color. It's all part of the glory of Big Pine Key. May it keep on for many years to come!!!

Smoking and race are two topics I find boring, but once in a while one will have a small  nugget of interest.
25 Winn-Dixie fishing Tournament in parking lot--Ron
25 The sun wind block Karen cited was on the legal tiki behind the Moose Lodge - it was wooden lattice nailed on the up rights on the south and west sides.  The 2 that the county did are at Blue Heron park on Litton's way.  They put chain link fenceing around the bottom of the main building and around an auxillary tiki that sits near the main building. The Moose was cited because the lattice could collect debris during a storm if water got that high, how ever the wooden lattice would have broken away before holding much debris.  The chain link the county used will collect the same debris but would never break away, the buildings would come down first. The county installed the chain link with out a permit, they need a permit the same as the rest of us.
Thursday
July 24, 2003		 Has everyone seen the notice on the board at Winn Dixie regarding the "Fillet and Release Fishing Tournament" to be held in the parking lot following the next rain. What do you thing the chances are that the owner will finally do something to correct the problem?
24
Can I have more info on the sun-wind block that Karen Bass cited and the one installed by the County....where, when etc. Also any other stories regarding her escapades, injustices. Thanks all!
24 FloridaSmokers.com will be perfectly clear: we only want to have our own SEPARATE section. We respect non-smokers rights to clean air. We want walls, glass, partitions and separate A/C units. The old imaginary line between ums and non was ridiculous! We want to come back, because our motto is "If you can't smoke em, don't go". UMmmmmm....?
24 As far as the rental problem goes, there are ways to get around this like everything else. If you have a good relationship with the neighbors, they will tolerate most anything. My house is never empty, either with renters or friends staying. However I have rules, as in no music after certain hours, no children, and no more people than the number of beds.  If you act like an a-- ----, you will never return, and this goes for respecting the fishing rules too
24 I'll trade neighbors, mine leave trash in the yard and run down the property. Two familes (seven peope) live next door in less than 1,000 sf. I'm ready to move- ASAP!

23 Sadam would rather his children & grandchildren be killed than turn himself in. What a cockroach of a man.
23 my neighbor bought a house nearby and turned it into a vacation rental 12 yrs ago
this house was  a sore spot on our road they worked hard and turned it into a
lovely home there vacation renters were most respectful.. unfortunately  they no
longer can rent short term because of the vacation rental ban. well now they
have the yearly renters the people who are part of our community who are supposed.,
to care about there neighborhood there house now looks like a vehicle rental lot
the people who live there are very disrespectful towards the property, the renters are
professional people,( I'm only stating this fact because most of you will think they
are probably low income  status) is it so difficult to keep a place a nice as you found
it and be thankful for a decent place to live. the owners are extremely nice people
and I'm afraid these people have taken advantage of there kindness
23 Why do the parents whine about the lack of entertainment for their kids? On an island with more great weather than anywhere else in the US, you would think they would use their imaginations. Anyone up for a swim? If the islands are too boring, go to Miami so the kids can join a gang.

22 Karen Bass and Code Enforcement = a local community service organization was written up for installing a sun-wind break around a service bldg used only for community  charity events - Monroe County has done the same thing less than a block away ( without a permit ), complaints were made but NO action was taken - why can she write us up and then ignore the same violation when done by the county ?????????
22 I hear that you can still get the best smoked fish dip on the island at Montego Bay...
22 If anyone wants to make a soup base, or what is otherwise called "stock" do this: sautee chopped celery, carrot and onion in real butter; this is the magic French "mirepoix". Do not brown! Here are seasoning combos because space here is limited: garlic is universal. with chicken use thyme and a little bay. With seafood use garlic, thyme, and pinches of oregano and basil. Beef, use pinch thyme, mostly S & P. "Badia" seasonal is great in all. Do not use cilantro!! Use the cooked or broiled bones of beef or chicken, but fish is different. After the mirepoix has sauteed, add the cooked beef or chicken bones, cover with water, season and simmer.  The longer it cooks, the more it reduces (less liquid). If you reduce this long enough, the liquid is called a "glace" after it is strained.  Seafood is a different story and for pointers tune in next week if anyone is interested. Luv ya

When making a stock as in cooking it’s best to start with a cold pan because you want as much flavor to get out of the ingredients and into the stock as possible. If you start with a hot pan the, let’s say, garlic, fish or meat will seer and hold in much of it’s flavor. You want all the flavor you can get into the stock.
21 That's the first time I've ever heard anyone say anything good about their contractors.
21 You are right, gyms are for working out and smoking is deservedly outside. Just give the bars where non smokers never WENT a break! BYW, if everyone thinks smoke is such a big bad thing, try nutra sweet. It is a neurotoxin, and it kills those horrible little ants we all hate. Listen to Jay on AM 790 every morning at 9 to learn how to be healthier. Prescription drugs, white sugar and flour, plus stress are killing all of you more than any second hand smoke ever did. You have been duped by the media. Drunken drivers are to blame,too but stupid drivers account for more than 60% of accidents. Please do the speed limit or at least 5 MPH above, because if not, some impatient moron is going to pass you and plow head on into some innocent soul instead. Have a nice day:)
21 What racist remarks? The two black women who ate FREE at the fast-food place? It was their poor thieving behavior, not their color, that made them a detriment to society.

I just wanted to THANK!!! Two local contractors who have been FANTASTIC! they both where totally their word, came and got the job done, and worked the WHOLE time!!  That would be THANKS to Mark Benson, contractor and Rick Busick, of ACI, air contracting. You guy's have made our lifes sooo much easier, Thanks for your sweat, your Honestey, and yor proffesinolism.  AND for those joke of contractors, Whatch Out!! Because guy's like these two are here and there is such a thing as HONESTY and getting what we pay for, AND most importantly getting the job done on TIME!!!!!!  Thanks again guy's
20 Got a letter recently addressed to "Big Pinkey". We are also lovingly known in Key West as "Big Twig".
20 I heard we have 13 LEGAL vacation rentals in unincorporated Monroe County. I would guess we have another 1300 illegal ones and all the best to them!!! Everyone does it, even the County workers. It's just the unlucky who get caught.
20 I heard the owner was in jail for embezzlement charges.

Hey tall blonde sexy smoker...I think the gym has a job for you! Although I think you'll still have to step outside to puff.

July 19, 2003		 Sorry to dis everybody, but I'm tall, blond and sexy and I smoke. Better than being burdened by a dumpy bottom and screaming kids. I work out every day and am yummy. Muscles are sexier than fat. Let's puff together. mmmmmmmm
19 You know, I have heard it all in this website about smoking is bad for your health. But I have heard nothig about Drinking. I would rather have someone on US1 smoking a cigarettes or even pot for that matter then to have you Big Pine drunks on the road.
19 how many managed vacation rentals on big pine? we sure need the business
here in our community and not KW

I’ve re-read all the kudos regarding racial issues and if your, at least, objective you’ll find they aren’t racist. The problem is that the topic cannot be openly discussed based on facts of perceptions if those facts or perceptions are negative. Thin-skinned is the term that comes to mind.

July 18, 2003		 You "piners" are a bunch of whiners. Get a life for Christ's sake. So Walgeeen's wants to open a store on Big Pine. Maybe a little competition is what Eckerds needs, because the management at that store leaves a lot to be desired. Also, I am a smoker, a responsible smoker. I don't light up around someone who isn't one and I don't throw my butts out of my car window, so please folks, give it a rest already. And another thing, this planet is getting smaller and smaller...we'd all better learn to live together and stop all this racist crap that I'm seeing a lot of on this website. Remember the rules.. "Don't be hurtful."

18 Yesterday was NATIONAL ICE CREAM day and you failed to mention such an important day. What's wrong with you?
18 I feel for the computer-challenged woman. Why do computers take so much effort to keep them working? It's like buying electricity and having to work on the generator all the time. And, why isn't there a simple backup program out there?
18 You'd be delighted to know the good-looking ladies are just now beginning to come out in public, since the smoking ban is in effect! Those who care about their appearance & health avoid cigarette smoke at all costs. Just one more benefit of being smoke-free.

17 The parking lot at Winn Dixie will be like a drive in movie at night. With the lights on in the gym and being dark in the lot it's like having a wide screen to watch. Start popping the corn. Hope it doesn't rain though or we'll have no place to park.

I too-often write “Pig Pine” instead of Big Pine and I wonder if it’s my Freud or my typing.

Montego Bay, aka: The Pelican Post, The Glass Tiki. We won't be stumbling out of there anymore.Our sympathies to all involved.
16
Bye Montego Bay, you will be missed! Many nights spent having fun, making friends and getting blitzed. My best go out to Ed, his family and staff. The flag at my house is at half mast! So I bid fare well to another piece of history To be sure,....A fond fare well because soon enough the old girl will probably be Taco Bell!
16 Everyone please make note of Karen Bass's address and if you're going by that way take a drive by and check out her house. It's only fair that she has a taste of how it feels to be spied on.
16 I "M a non smoker but I am sick and tired of you all  bashing smokers, can we have
a bit more interesting things to say out there ...  like more info on the gym is it
true he is looking for strippers? Will they make as much as teasers?
16 There is a name for people who owe money, yet use every excuse to avoid paying. Thief.
Tuesday
July, 15, 2003		 The Big Pine gym is advertising for strippers, yes strippers! The owner wants to have them walk around the place while the Steroid Monsters work out. I guess all those Steroids make all but one muscle big huh? Now all the children can not only get their drugs there but also a lesson in anatomy.
15
Fins closed because they weren't paying their bills. They were evicted. A new owner (yet again) is supposed to be taking over soon. For those of you who think the owner was such a nice guy, you might feel different if it was you he owed money to!
15 I was so sick from inhaling cigarette fumes at a business this morning, I had to go home, vomit & stay in the bed the rest of the day. Peeeww! That shop will NEVER have my business again.
15 Whoever advised the smokers to STAY HOME & BOYCOTT ONE YEAR was exactly right. Please, please keep your filthy, putrid smoking stinch to yourself, stay home say ...forever!

Monday
July 14, 2003		 The smokers just don't get it. What gives you the right to force you stinking smoke on me and destroy my health? The vote was almost 70% for the smoking band. So you smokers don't come out to eat or drink, 70% of us don't care. Stay home and smoke yourself to death. 
14
Why are the residents on Big pine Key complaining about Walgreens Drug Store for opening a store on your Island? Why don't you direct your frustrations at the BOCC, the people you voted for to represent you? The BOCC is a Communist Dictator Government that can do anything they want too. If they can put everybody's life on hold for years at a time and control every aspect of your life, then they could have stop Walgreens. I say this in the nicest way it can be said.
14 HEY, WHERE ARE THE KUDOS??
14 Fins closed because he didn't pay his vendors and they stopped delivering
14 I heard that Karen Bass had to leave town for a while, a year or two ago, because someone threatened her life. Anybody else hear anything about that?
14 Coconuts, the MOOSE, Loo Key Tiki and Boondocks are smoke friendly; also, Dockside in Marathon. 7 mile grill conforms to smokers' rights but chooses to prohibit smokers. DO NOT GO WHERE YOU CANNOT SMOKE. BOYCOTTS BREAK BANS. TAKE ONE YEAR OFF. RENT MOVIES AND TAKE OUT.  STAND TALL AND DO NOT CAVE IN!!!!

looking for karen bass' address?
 if she lives in marathon, the address is 57516 Gibson Street
 public records......
10 Fins probably closed because the majority of their patrons are smokers who are now banned and refuse to stand outside in the heat and bugs. I will never go anywhere if I could not smoke in comfort. Who WOULD want to go where they are not welcome?

I find it interesting that in our News society the wood-be-Columbine-like shooters are being analyzed on  TV  by fellow high school kids.
9 Gee Karen, since I am a renter will I get fined if I mow my own yard? You REALLY need to find something useful to use your energy on. I hear there's a bridge nearby to jump from.
9 Yes it's true that if no money has exchanged hands it's not for hire BUT it's up to you to go to court and prove it. She can give you a citation on anything she wants and you're not innocent until proven guilty, rather guilty until proven innocent. Code enforcement is bad enough, but an official that's a hypocrite is the worst crime against the community. Too bad no one knows where she lives!!! I'd like to see if she's up to code...or did she get someone to put up that fence of hers without a permit???

Madeline Albright was on all the talk shows just before Gulf II warning everyone that the Bush administration did not have a plan for rebuilding Iraq after the war. No one listened to her and she was proved right.
8 Yes, I agree this code enforcer must be dealt with can we turn her in as a public
nucence,as long as no money has exchanged between neighbors there is nothing
she can do about it. Are we living in a nazi county or what come on people get
mad and start calling your county commissioners and complain about her
we are paying her salary with our tax money?
