3/31	Exactly how many "Bush" family members are in military active duty? What's that? ...........None? Maybe those twp drunk Bush college girls should enlist & clean up their acts.
3/31	you CAN get npr if you put up some kinda antenna or wiring to catch the signal.(up in a tall tree if possible.) however- dont do it with a radio thats hooked up to satellite/cable- it overrides the radio signal.(Miami public radio has wildly vacillating signal strenth.) bummer when its "Prairie home companion". heres link to WLRN:http://wlrn.org/department.cfm?departmentID=1
3/29	Big shock! Russia has been suppling the Iraqi soldiers with biological protective gear. We should look over our trade agreement with Russia since they need American food, bluejeans & staples a lot more than we need their fur pelts & vodka. I urge all Americans to stop buying any products from the backstabbing countries who lie in our faces. Americas can produce anything we really need right here at home. We havn't even begun to tap into our own oil reserves. Who needs tacky trinkets, doilies & figurine dust collectors from China? What do we need from Korea? Woven grass matts? Pleeeeeease!
3/29	I think girls and women like men that are strong, caring, intelligent, well mannered, know how ro use tools & fix cars. We don't like drunks or potheads. Money is not as important as a caring, thoughtful man.
3/29	In the grand scope of things in the Lower-Middle Keys: Big Pine =Downtown Little Torch=Little Brother Summerland=Orange lobster floats on the Tie Line Ramrod=Open-air bars
3/29	why can't I have a radio in my house that receives NPR. I can only get public radio in my car.
3/28	"You know the world is changing when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, and Germany doesn't want to go to war."
3/28	The BPK women have been insulted on this site for letting their Miss America appearances go. So, what exactly do the BPK men think they look like, Arnold, in the movies "Conan" & "Terminator?" Why is it that most of the 50 year old, uneducated, unshaved, no-money, beer-bellied, balding men with missing teeth, living in 40 year old trailers think the women who look like models would have anything to do with them??? Ha Ha Ho Ha! All those men have to offer the women (for a date) are crusin' on rusted-out bicycles, an arrest record, and a borrowed fishing pole. Ed: Ouch!
3/28	For $1.50 you can buy an entire pack of tomato seeds & have more tomatoes than you can eat. My friend used Miracle Grow soil on her tomato plants, they grew 5ft tall & produced so much she was giving away the tomatoes!
3/27	During the Gary Condit affair I used to skip up and down stairs just like he did. Now I don't. Am I a victim of TV?
3/27	I paid $1.50 for a tomato at Winn-Dixie. That's outrageous.
3/27	Hello to all my friends at ClassicCarpet.I ended up in Az(Tim) It was fun while it lasted.Drop me a line, Timothy425@webtv.net
3/27	American Marines escorted the US sponsored humanitarian relief effort to distribute free food, water & staples to the Iraqui citizens today. After not having the brains to evacuate the very cities the Iraqui were, for several months warned would become a war zone, there they gathered, hungry & needy, duh! After greedily grabing the supplies, the Iraqui's sat on each other's shoulders (like baboons) spitting and shouting "we are loyal to Saddam, we will die for Sadam!"...... Well, WTF gee gosh golly darn.... LET THEM DIE, let those backstabbing savages starve. I don't see any free food delivery trucks in my US neighborhood.
3/27	Some of our POW's have been executed after capture! I say they need a taste of their own tactics. Why send our troops over? A female soldier has been missing for days, if she lives through the rapes, who knows what horrors she will endure? An atomic bomb would have worked wonders.
3/26	Have you tried the new deli in town? Aromas has the BEST Cuban Mixes!!
3/26	Support our troops by helping out their families here at home. Especially pray for our POW's. The ragheads that hold them captive are uncivilized, mentally retarted (I take that back- it's an insult to the retarted), men who even brutally sodomize, torture & hold Christian CHILDREN captive (It's documented). Imagine the vile things these uneducated, bomb-happy Iraqui troops do to our men in the sick name of Satan Saddam. The nasty Iraquis even wipe their own shitty asses with their LEFT HANDS, preferring to buy guns over necessities like food, clothing & toilet paper. Disgustiing lowlife!
3/26	If you want a woman on Big pine, bring her with you.
3/25	war ? NOT IN OUR NAME AND WITH OUR MONEY!!!
3/25	Hey -all the single women on BPK are NOT obese, missing teeth or cough when they laugh... we just do NOT hang out places where the BPK men can find us !!! (took THAT class! )
3/24	They talk about how Korea needs to get some concessions from the U.S. so it doesn't lose face. That's why Bush went to war. He can't lose face. It will look like his father was the only one who could put a coalition together. And Bush II wants to finish what his father failed to.
3/24	We don't need to Saddamize Saddam, he and his nasty men enjoy sodomizing each other every day as their favorite national passtime.
3/22	Stupid Boat Tricks I was partying and forgot I had the boat in tow. Is sped down my road and tried to put my truck into a power slide into my driveway. It was then I was made aware of my boat as it and the trailer tipped over wreaking havoc.
3/21	In case anyone cares--The sub-woofer is the most important part of a home theater sound system. That's where you should spend the money.
3/20	We should Saddamize Saddam.
3/20	The movie: "Another 48 Hours" with nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy. The War: "Another 48 Hours to get out of Dodge" with George Bush and Lon Chaney (I mean Dick Chaney).
3/20	It only took THREE mesages to get a response, wake up already!
3/19	Kudos to all of the friends of Capt. Scottie Kingsley, a cancer victim who won't do the treatments because she can't afford to take off work. Her friends and the Cancer Foundation of the Florida Keys are holding a benefit for her on April 15th, her 68th birthday at the Ocean view lounge in Islamorada from 4 til. Fabulous food is planned, with wonderful auction and raffle items and a 'calcutta'. Call Pati, 872-8805 for more info, or make a donation at any First State Bank. Thanks
3/18	Can't anyone answer the question about what, if anything, happened to Key West's Poinciana Trailer Park? They received evictins last year. Anyone know what's going on around them? Ed: Call the KW City Planning Dept. at 292-8229 and give it a rest.
3/18	Sheriff Bush gave Saddam 48 hrs to get out of Dodge. Bang, bang, your dead.
3/17	Wow! I counted at least 60 banners on the little league fence. It's great that the business support the kids so much.
3/17	No Name Pub is the best. We always stop there on our yearly visit to the keys. A cold "Northerner"!!!
3/17	HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!
3/17	For most of my life the U.S. has supported dictators and tyrants. Now, all of a sudden we want to attack them. What happened to the middle ground?
3/17	Do you realize that every bass guitar player wants to be a lead guitar player. I think so.
3/16	What happened to KW Poinciana Trailer Park? Anyone or everyone move out?
3/16	It's hard to wear a good pair of shoes in the keys. Between the dust and mud they get ruined.
3/15	I don't know about you guys, but peeing into one of those handicapped urinals that are so low on the wall splashes on my shins. I hate that.
3/14	The "successful" black woman that said most business deals are done in bars or restaurants frequented by white people. I didn't know black people were barred from bars & restaurants. What planet does she live on?
3/13	We don't have pot holes here; we have sink holes which are much worse. The county is ignoring our requests to fix them. There might be something to incorporation after all.
3/13	It turns out that the "African Connection" document that Bush has been linking to Iraq's WMD program is a forgery. If the USA can't find credible evidence we make it up to further our goals. Bush can't continue the peace without loosing face so he'll try anything. watch out world!
3/13	Does anyone know what happened to Key West's Poinciana Trailer Park after evictions were given last year? The Citizen has not followed up on info, how many, if any, Poinciana residents moved? Where do the old 60's & 70's trailers go? An artificial "new" reef? Are they burned down or used for scrap metal? Were they moved o Stock Island? A Marathon park was sold & evictions are only a matter of time now. I would appreciate any info, as I used to know a few people at the Key West Poinciana, but lost touch. Maybe they are homeless now, who knows? Many thanks!
3/13	Saddam says he'll defeat any invaders. How can he do that id he doesn't have any weapons of mass destruction?
3/11	I was watching a successful black women executive on the tube commenting on the fact that she's excluded from most deals except in the boardroom.; because most deals are done in bars or restaurants frequented by white people. Interesting.
3/11	I feel ravished because Comcast bought AT&T Broadband for it's 3/4 million subscribers in Florida. A monopoly. I remember as a kid, they said if you owned AT&T stock you were rich.
3/10	The Keys' weather is a lot different than my home. You go directly from winter to summer--skipping spring altogether.
3/10	I want to know if you wash your hands in a pubic restroom after peeing only if there's someone else in there?
3/9	Stupid boat Tricks: My cousin pulled his 21' sailboat onto his trailer and took off until he hit the power lines. He forgot to step the mast. He was all right.
3/9	You're flying in the shuttle, you think your wing is damaged, you can't get out to look because the tether won't allow you to go beyond the payload bay,..........no matter, you couldn't fix it if it was damaged. You're driving down the road, you think you have a flat and pull over, you can't get out of the car to look,...........no matter, you don't have a spare tire or a jack. What kind of shuttle program is NASA running ??? Can you spell KAMIKAZE-one way mission ?
3/7	Ed: This one prompted a new feature in Kudos and Whiners--Stupid Boat Tricks. I wasn't paying attention and pumped about 5 gallons of gas into my rod holder instead of the gas fill hole.
3/7	The best thing about living in a resort town is that you never know who's sitting on the next bar stool. I've met people here that I would never have the opportunity to meet back in East Shabeesh.
3/4	We're going to war regardless of anything. Bush won't lose face just like Pres. Johnson wouldn't lose face in Vietnam when told his advisors we couldn't win that war. To save face he let 58,000 Americans and 2,000,000 Vietnamese die.
3/4	Ed note: contact Comm. Neugent about the sink hole gneugent@mail.state.fl.us
3/4	Concerning Watson field. Who is in charge of turning the flashing yellow light off after the games? Numerous times it is flashing all night long. Who pays the electric bill? And yes, I agree, the sink hole is getting bad. All of Key Deer Blvd. has several such sink holes. They need to resurface the entire road.
3/4	Bush is not beating the War Drum, he's beating the OIL DRUMS!
3/3	Do you wonderful Florida Islanders know how fortunate you are to live in a warm, beautiful environment within the US? Even in NC it has been so cold, icy & miserable that one can hardly move their fingers. I can't wait for the day I can visit or move to a warm climate. Nothing sounds better than to sit at my canvas and paint, clad only in my leopard bathing suit!
3/2	I'd hate to be single on Big Pine because the few single women here are missing teeth and cough when they laugh.
3/2	Regarding the pot hole in front of the ball field: I called the public works dept. and they said they didn't have enough "stuff" to fill it, but they're going to fix some other road on the island very soon!
3/2	Hey, bigpinekey.com you made the Citizens' Voice column in Key West. Our bitchin's better than their bitchin'.

2/28	What's the difference in a big pine woman and a cop car? It takes 2 cop cars to block the road! Only 1 big pine woman is needed!
2/23	Does anyone know who cleans the yard sale pole at the intersection? There must be a million staples in it.
2/23	I was listening to the BBC reporting on a cricket game and heard the guy refer to the players' batting as "sparkling". "Sparkling batting...".
2/23	Why do our safety people allow the newsboys and fireman to stand in the middle of US-1 soliciting? That road is one of the deadliest in the country.
2/19	Thanks for listing the Saturday yard sales in your Bulletin Board. I can print them and save a trip to the telephone pole.
2/19	This is about the people freezing up north. I'm so glad we don't have to pay for heating oil or warm clothes...any clothes, for that matter.
2/18	Re: war protests. Yesterday's protests around the world were the first time that protesters did before the war.
2/14	think your site is great hope more people find out about it.
2/14	This a a quote from a book about boat delivery: "...the luff had been altered for the headstay furling gear so we tacked the storm jib to the staysail tack pendant and hoisted it loose-luffed." Is he kidding?
2/14	HAPPY VALENTINE DAY to all you lovers!
2/11	With the price of gas going up by the hour lately, I think it's time to round off the 9/10th cent. Get real and call $1.75 and 9/10 a gallon $1.76. What's the point?
2/10	I just discovered bigpinekey.com. It's great to have our own web site and not be treated like Key West's little sister. How long have you been online? Ed note: Thanks for the remarks, Jan 1, 2003 it the official date.
2/9	I heard that the are having meetings here to try to spend a bunch of money earmarked for the purpose of beautifying Big Pine. Maybe I've lived here too long, but I think Big Pine Key is already beautiful. What do they want to do; plant the highway so it looks like someplace else?
2/6	Did you know that as a big part of their training Buddhist monks study debate.
2/6	On the cooking channel last night a chef made low-fat Pecan pie by putting a layer of chopped Rome (low moisture) apples on the bottom of a crust made with filo dough (less grease); and then he only used 1/2 of the pecan filling. He baked it at 350° for 45 min. Also, he only put 2 teaspoons of butter in the filling.
2/6	This is about the astronauts. They were the elite of the elite. I think that this is such a tragedy.
2/6	Change "B.C." from "Before Christ" to "Before Computers". The computer is the single most important thing that has happened to the world. There are more people in the world who have heard of computers than the other. Sad as it may seem.
2/5	Re: The twin tower memorial. The new design proposal is GREAT. It looks like a modern American Eiffel Tower with gardens on top and a maze of angular shapes on the ground for commercial space. On Sept. 11 each year at that time in the morning the entire thing will cast no shadow.
2/5	We saw a two fool long Moray eel. They are cream color and dark spotted. It was very good looking, so, how come they get so ugly when they grow up? That crappy army green.
2/5	Did you see the filming of the Lincoln commercial on the No Name Bridge. They have so much equipment and people (one person's job is to wipe the car [unions?]) that I couldn't make out the car.
2/4	Have you ever noticed that Key Deer are like goats in that they'll both eat anything. I've had plants right in their paths for years and all of a sudden they eat them all up!
2/3	My wife thinks space travel is necessary because in space, "you don't have any wrinkles."
2/2	This is about the Shuttle crash. It's a miracle that no one was killed on the ground by falling spaceship parts.
2/2	I pray for all the families of the Astronauts and hope NASA uses robots when ever possible.
2/1	Ed: Due to a lot of mail we've removed the "tasteless" photo of the mangled key deer.

1/31	The movie Waterworld gets better every time I see it. I used to hate it.
1/31	With all the saber rattling going on I think we should remember the ass-kicking we got in Somalia and Viet Nam where there was no way out.
1/30	A paper boy got killed in Miami today by standing in the street. Duh! I can't see how the police allow solicitors to stand in the street in the first place. This includes our fire dept.
1/30	Instead of invading our enemies, why don't we try to find out what pisses them off and try to correct it.
1/27	Donna Merritt wrote of painless county inspection for downstairs enclosures in the Barometer, but failed to mention that the inspection cost her $50 just to have some minor bureaucrat come on her private property and take pictures.
1/26	I heard that in the four hours after the super bowl there are 40% more accidents.
1/26/3	"Vegetarian" is an old Navajo Indian word meaning "lousy hunter".
1/23/3	The movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still", from the 50's, has more cigarettes than any other movie. I think. "Say to Gautt: Klaatu Braatu Niktu."
1/23/3	A comment in the "Citizens' Voice" by some guy hailing the upcoming war. His argument was that the USA has never been a coward. What a base thought! This problem is much more complicated than that.
1/23/3	Smokers seem to expect that they can enter a room with a bunch of people in it and smoke a cigarette; and the other people are supposed to enjoy the new smell.
1/21/03	Boy, when you are an alcoholic, Vodka sure feels good going down. Yesh, it does.
1/21/03	To the sink hole person: I called the county and they ran me around from person to person laying responsibility on each other. Telling me all the reasons they haven't fixed it for a year. Proving that Monroe county Public Works Dept. is no different than any other county's.
1/20/03	I'm writing about the sink hole in front of the ball field. When are they going to fix it? I've seen the public works dept. drive around it too.
1/20/03	MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY! A Truly great man who gave his life for a good thing just like Jesus did.
1/18/03	Could you tell me where we can go to get a refund on our dream vacation to The Fla. Keys? We froze our butts off this week!
1/14/03	Kudos to Big Pine Key - You have made a convert - Being a Snow Bird for life, I used to wonder about the strange Michigan Birds who migrated come December or January. This year I experienced my first week on Big Pine Key and I am in love with your paradise. Planning to return next year to again soak up your sun, fun, and relaxation. Hoorah!! Keep up your conservation work with the Big Pine Key Deer, they are precious.
1/13/03	I would like the post office to open earlier so I can go before work. or maybe they could stay open later so I could go after work. That would be a real service.
1/13/03	I've ridden many different animals and I like riding elephants the best. It's like sitting on a couch in rough seas.
1/13/03	Movies in the 80's tried to shock us by inserting a gay interlude. In the 90's-2000's it's lesbian affairs; and there never seems to be a fight without someone kicking the other guy in the nuts.
1/13/03	I have bad things to say about the management of the flea market, but they're too libelous to print.
1/10/3	Dominoes is closing?? I can't imagine why.. ?? The last time I ordered from them, it only took an hour and a half... the time before was over an hour. But I do live 2 miles away after all. Needless to say, no mas.
1/8/03	Anybody know where to get a good Crab stuffed Grouper or any stuffed grouper around here?
1/8/03	Dominos closed its' doors yesterday; and I heard Pizza Works might too.
1/8/03	To the Kwanzaa people. It's seven things are: 1. Unity 2. Self-determination 3. Work/Responsibility 4. Co-op Economics (whatever that means) 5. Purpose 6. Creativity 7. Faith
1/7/03	To the person asking about Kwanzaa: A recent (1966) celebration promoted towards Black-Americans From December 26 to January 1. Each day focuses on the seven principals. (What are the seven principals?)
1/7/03	How come the post office is only open when I'm at work? 8:30 -5pm? Why don't they open at 7 or 7:30 and close earlier so we can do our business before we go to work. Or they could close later, like about six o'clock, so we could do our business after work.
1/7/03	99.5 in K.W. just changed their format to a "local format" and I think it's boring. I don't want to hear Beatles. I want AC/DC.
1/6/03	Sandra Bullock (sic) was at Little Palm and had a good time. Yea, Sandra!
1/6/03	To the girl who asked, "Why don't guys wait a few hours....all a girl wants is a good time ?" I will, and I know ! Please send an E-Mail to morg366@bllsouth.net
