Happy Memorial Day my fellow Keys peeps! After living here for 4 yrs one
of my best friends keeps telling me that I need to, "get a life". Outside
of me b****ing about my bf (?), so, how about a co-ed fun softball team
or something athletic? Anyone have any leads?
|
|
All you bald headed duck walking losers that make fun of heifers
need to get a life. All that time spent jerkin your little smoky over
fantasy pictures on the internet has skewed your outlook on reality.
Normal women in America are not skinny little play toys, but wholesome
caring people. So go back to your mommy in New Jersey and ask her
forgiveness.
|
| I agree about the rude blonde teenager at Summerland
Seafood. That one girl has got to go she is ruining your business! |
|
I am the guy who wrote about the good kisser at Boondocks. I would like
to take the opportunity to thank the woman who wrote in: "This is
to the good kisser at Boondocks. Dude, your attitude towards women
rocks! The fact that you find the uniqueness in us is a quality not many
men have. Thank you!"
If you is reading this, do you hang out at Boondocks a lot? I might
already know you. If I don't know you I would certainly like to meet
you. When are you usually there?
|
 I'd like to give
the man with the Suzuki outboard the biggest Kudos award imaginable.
This gentleman came into the Napa store on Saturday, and he handed me a
wallet that had quite a bit of money inside. He said I found this in your
parking lot, I smiled and looked at the drivers license, to give the
person a call but he was from Hialeah. So we put the wallet into the safe
and while the kind gentleman was still inside the store the man who lost
his wallet came in. Can you imagine this guys reaction? He was so
relieved and said, "Thank you so much, and do you know that if we were
in my home town I would have never gotten my wallet back?" So, kind soul
thank you very much for your goodness, and reminding us all why we still
live here.

Hey Boondocks heifer defender, lighten up and quit picking on the
gentle editor. If you were a little less hostile maybe your comments would
be printed in full. Try to stop smoking, lose a few pounds, and have a
little fun with the rest of us.

There is a N.Y. times paper box on Key Deer Blvd. at the road side

 Re: Big Pine
Rescue. How can you say anything bad about these people that chose to
help others as a profession or volunteer. I witnessed these people in
action Sunday after the horrible accident by Big Pine channel. These folks
are real heroes and are true professionals. I seen more than I cared to
see and don't know how they do it daily, but thank God there they are
there.
|
| Re: good kissers. If you were a better kisser and
worth it they wouldn't do that. |
|
Someone asked a while back why all bums smoked. I just
read a study that said that the more educated a person was, the less likely
they were to smoke. In other words, dumb people smoke. That's true. |
I just want to say to the coward that hit the key deer on Palm
Drive in Whispering Pines Sub and left it to suffer and die, that I hope
you get a chance to go the same way if not worse. What goes around, comes
around and hopefully you will get what you deserve.

I also thought Blorg was the product of a drug
addled brain, but I met him and the lovely miss Poinciana the other night.
She's a great kisser. They also gave me a CD with some still photos and

 This
is how the Key Deer Refuge people deal with dead deer off of US1. Six
hours have passed now, in this heat, and this is as far as the cops would
move it from the middle of the road. Then I was told that no one would pick
it up until Tuesday! What is wrong with this picture? Then a passerby told
me that I should put ice on it because it will start to stink. It was
also amazing to see the people that usually go by this spot several times a
day, go another way so they don't have to look at it. I think that you
refuge people are money hungry, and have no concern for these creatures
except for the money you can collect from the government on your grants. And
another thing, if we were caught moving it, this "humane" agency would be
all over anyone who touches it. This is very sick. |

To the person who cited the 500 employees of the US
Congress with bad statistics, you need to check out
www.Snopes.com before spreading
such nonsense. Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending the Congress, but
this one has been going around the Internet for a long time. Snopes.com
says "What is surprising is that so many people willingly circulate
the above-cited piece of cheap, inflammatory tripe expecting it to be
taken seriously. No names or dates are mentioned, of course, so trying to
match individuals with the vague charges leveled in this text would be a
fruitless task (especially since the composition of Congress changes at
least every two years, and the piece is undated). In any case that effort
would be pointless, for this article is nothing more than a cheap smear:
no one in it is cited as actually having done something wrong, but
merely of having been "arrested" or "accused," or being a "defendant," or
having been "stopped." Isn't our system supposed to be based upon the
presumption that a person is innocent until proved guilty?" For the whole
explanation, go to

After Ed's comment I had to read the latest long-winded. Whew. I
may have to print that for future reference. It's like a thesaurus for

 I know some
men who got terribly screwed over on their divorce. Just because some easy
spread-leg woman gets pregnant "accidentally on purpose" should not justify
taking everything the men worked for all their lives. I'm all for paying
child support, but the courts have run amok on too many cases. If the man is
stand up enough to claim and raise the "surprise" child he never wanted, he
should be honored, not taken to the cleaners.
So men, always use a condom with those pigs you screw. Those
kind of women think they are entitled to bleed you dry for the rest of your
lives. I am a woman and would never stoop so low as to entrap a man. |
| That
superb long-winded tome also left out butt-munch. |
 Too
much. I woke up in my truck at one this morning and didn't know where I
was. I thought I was in my driveway, but I was still at Bahia Honda. I had
to bother some guys on a boat to get the combination for the gate lock so I
could get out. Boy, what terrible breath I had. And I'm so sunburned. It
sure was a good party. I'm going back to bed. |

 I went to the No
Name Pub to pick up a grouper sandwich and got a surprise. It was
just about the best fish sandwich I've ever had. Fresh and cooked just
right. Breading on it was awesome. It was about $8, but just the sandwich
would fill up a big guy. Did mine anyway. The silver dollar potatoes left a
lot to be desired, but like I said, the sandwich more than made up for it. I
got take out so I didn't have to deal with anything or anyone. Just had a
nice meal with my honey. |

I am the one who wrote the comment Sunday, May 28th about the jerkoffs
insulting the "Heifers" at Boondocks and it was printed totally
wrong. Our famous ED left out part of it that changed the whole idea. It
was printed by our Editor indicate that thinner better looking women hang
out at Key Deer which is by no means the case. The part left out was
written after the line "Maybe the women at Boondocks are bigger than Key
Deer" but he skipped the next two sentences reading "where the ignorant
one doing the bashing must hang out. That is normal. Regular women who
eat regularly are heavier than 90 pound crack whores who don't eat
anything that isn't made by Natural Ice. " If we read the submission
guidelines written by this same editor it says anything can be printed
that does not individually name a person. Anything naming a person may be
printed if the author puts their email address and name. That comment
does not name a person anywhere. Hey Ed, can you clear up your definition
of naming an individual person? Please do not alter my writings. If you
do not care for them then leave them out totally rather then to change
them.

really looks stupid, and besides he's just growing up thru his hair! And I
didn't fall in love with you for your hair.

I find it rather disgusting that here we live in a Wildlife Refuge and a
key deer gets hit in a neighborhood and left to die in the road and
because it is a holiday no one will come out to remove it until Tuesday.
What gives? Millions of dollars has been spent to fence them, but when
they are injured or in this case killed and left, the Key Deer "people"
are no where to be found or contacted? We have a heat index of the high
nineties going on and they want it to lay there, how hypocritical. They
have deep pockets and no heart. Just another agency not doing their job to
the fullest.

| Talk about corrupt! It came out in the recent trial of
Duck Tours vs. Conch Train and the City of Key West that the city pays
the Conch Train a half million dollars a year to pick up passengers at the
cruise ships and take them to the Conch Train's own shops. Now that's
a sweetheart deal (and also proably criminal).The Conch train should pay the
City for that privelage. |

I have a question. How, when you are going 45 mph going and coming to Big
Pine, you can have an accident with such destruction and death as
was experienced on Sunday? How is it possible, especially with all the law
enforcement that runs along this small stretch? I have no clue. God
forbid you get caught without a seat belt, but the speed that must have
caused this is totally amazing. Where were the sentries?
|
 I think I saw the
woman from the movie "Shallow Hal" at a local watering hole (rhymes
with coon socks) the other night. This was the actual woman, not the
skinny one Hal visualized in his mind. Maybe we Key's men need to listen
to Anthony Robbin's tapes so we can learn to appreciate
bovine inner beauty.

 It’s good to know
that we, the people, are in such good hands. However, imagine if you can,
working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the
following statistics: 29 accused of spousal
abuse, 7 arrested for fraud, 19 accused of writing bad checks, 17
directly/indirectly involved in the bankruptcy of at least 2 businesses, 3
have done time for assault, 71 cannot get a
credit card due to bad credit, 14 arrested on
drug-related charges, 8 arrested for shoplifting, 21
currently defendants in lawsuits, 84 arrested
for drunk driving in the last year.
Can you
guess which organization this is?
It's the 535
members of the United States Congress. The same group of idiot
half-wits that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the
rest of us in line.

 Has
anyone else noticed an increase in the “If you don’t think you can afford to
live here, then leave!” attitude? I hope that all of those so callous and
thoughtless will someday realize that a lot of us (actually, most of us) who
live here, and make less than $50,000 a year, are honest, hard working,
contributing members of our wonderful little community on Big Pine. Just
because our income limits our choices in housing, clothing, transportation,
etc., that doesn’t mean that we are not entitled to live in a locality that
is so wonderful to most of its residents. I, for one, will stay until
financially forced to leave, and will do so only after exhausting all
reasonable alternatives. I love Big Pine! |

 I agree with the
comments about House of Music. They really need to do something about the
awful stench from the bathrooms. If that’s not bad enough, having to
actually go into the bathroom
is even worse. They have decent bar food, are friendly enough, pour a good
cocktail and offer a good mix of music. If they really want to succeed (and
I hope they do) they need to slow down on the high-dollar bands for awhile
and finish cleaning up the inside including new bathrooms. I think their
business would improve dramatically. Good luck guys! |

I have to agree with the person who figures the one who struck out with
the so called "Heifers" are the ones bashing them. First off, I hang out
at Boondocks a lot and do not notice more overweight people there than
anywhere else. Maybe the women at Boondocks are bigger than Key Deer.
That is normal. I have met some of the nicest women I know in Boondocks.
Some are fat, some are thin, some are beautiful some are not but they are
all nice well spoken well educated ladies. These are the type of women I
would seek for a true relationship.
PS: One lady I dated from Boondocks was a great kisser too. That is am
important feature.

As a long time Big Piner I, along with most others, get a big kick out of
the "Gossip Column." It has always been informative as well as
entertaining. However, it seems to me things are getting a little
personal. Come on people, these are our neighbors and friends.
If an owner or employee of a business has something to promote this is the
place to do it. If a band wants the islands to know where they will play
next, where better to advertise then to the people who will go there?
Furthermore, if individuals have an opinion, good or bad, they should be
able to voice it. I know we all get our say, but maybe it's time to be a
little nicer to one another and stop all the trash talk.

 Re: Vegetarian.
Yes, it's true it takes more planning and creativity. Here's my
suggestions, as a 20 year vegetarian: 1) The Good Food Conspiracy in Big
Pine has lots of things the local supermarket won't carry and great
people who will probably be happy to help you along with suggestions.
2) There are plenty of prepared meat substitutes on the market to help
you make the transition at Publix in Marathon (not too much at Winn
Dixie). 3) Subscribe to Vegetarian Times, check them out on line.
They have lots of articles and easy recipes. 4) a
paperback cookbook called " Cookin' Healthy With One Foot out the Door"
by Pitchford & Quigley I got at the Floating Island in Big Pine.
It's the best and EASIEST cookbook I've ever read. 5) In Key West, the
Sugar Apple Health Food Store and Cafe is awesome, and so is the
restaurant The Cafe on Southard St. (KW). 6) When you go out to
eat you can order pizza with veggie toppings and no cheese (if you
go vegan). 7) Marinate and bake or grill your tofu, serve it on a
crusty roll with dressing and veggies. It's great. 8) Alcohol is veg-friendly
so you won't die of thirst at least! I don't live down in the Keys, but
have been visiting for years. I found tons of places to try, with very
accommodating store and restaurant owners. Once you go veg, don't make a
big deal of it, and don't judge others who don't embrace the lifestyle.
When people have questions, usually its not with malice, just curiosity.
It's good to educate people in a non-judgmental way. I truly hope it
works out for you, and at least you are considering the change. Kudos to
you!

Short
end of divorce. If there is some way to change the government, then I
would love to hear it. Don't give me some phony story about voting etc, I do
vote. I just spent two years dealing with our government going through a
divorce. Believe me these Judges are all powerful and there is no recourse
for their actions. There is nothing to do with justice in a Courtroom. I
know why they do everything behind closed doors. It's because if anyone saw
what goes on in there they would run them out of town in a New York minute.
 I've already been
raped by our government, but I would do anything to change the system for
the next victim. I am ashamed of how my country treated me and don't want
any of my fellow Americans, be they male or female, to have to be humiliated
by what they supposedly call justice. I've already sent letters to every
government official in the State of Florida and the President documenting
what happened to me. Nobody will touch it. If they write back at all it's a
letter distancing themselves from the system. I've even gone as far as
humiliating myself by protesting in front of the Courthouse. What they don't
understand is that once they squeezed every drop of My American pride out of
me I would do anything to change the system. Nothing can embarrass me now.
So when you say we can change the system, enlighten us so we can make the
changes that will give us back our pride in this Great Country.

 Another
CVS Pharmacy screw-up. I was recently told of a “lost prescription.” What
a surprise! But, if you think that CVS is bad try calling for emergency
medical response from the Big Pine Fire Station. I know of two
fairly recent horror stories related to me from local, responsible
individuals who called for assistance and then witnessed a complete lack of
patient care and total failure to provide even basic field assessment and
treatment for persons in medical distress. Apparently the CVS pharmacy isn’t
the only medical provider on Big Pine who needs extensive review, retraining
and oversight. |

 Back in
Indiana. We recently made our yearly trip to the Keys for a much needed
vacation. As always we had the best breakfasts at the "Cracked Egg". The
staff is courteous, friendly and the food is great. Thank you all. |
| (Quote) You say we can't do anything about our country's
government? Since when? I thought this was still a democracy, at least
for a few more months. We can do something about our government. We got the
nuclear option (anti-filibuster) slowed down. Didn't we? Save the Republic!
(quote). I'm going to let you in on a little
secret. We want the filibuster gone. In the mid term election with thousands
dead in a unnecessary war, gas at $2.50 a gallon, Republicans are in for one
hell of a beating. They will lose the Senate and there is a good
chance they will lose the Congress. The deal that was made was a delaying
action. We are advancing on both flanks with reserves circling to the
Republican rear. While it looks like we are retreating the Republicans are
falling right into our trap. We will let them have some of the theocratic
nut cases Bush has sent up for approval but when Rehnquist steps down the
Republicans who have been pretending to be moderates will show their true
colors and vote lock step to kill the filibuster. It will pass. ROFLMAO(?).
After the Mid-term elections, with Democrats back
in charge, those same scum bags who blocked 60 of Clinton's nominees won't
be able to filibuster them. He, he, he. The filibuster will be gone and it
will be payback time. Remember Bill Frisk's very first vote in the Senate
was against ending Filibusters. Talk about a huge flip flop! How can
a doctor be so stupid? |
 Re: To the
person who chose to bash SECDEF(?) and the President regarding shooting down
the Cessna over DC. You obviously have no concept about how the military
works or war fighter rules of engagement. Fighter pilots don't need anyone's
permission to shoot down aircraft because they have rules which are written
and approved at the SECDEF level regarding these specific scenarios. Also,
these men and women pilots are professionals. Given the type of aircraft in
this incident, they probably would've flown alongside it and tried to
flip it with their wing rather than fire a weapon and risk further death
and injury. |
| The Kudos given to Parrotdise yesterday are very

Thank you to the person who posted the
http://fabprefab.com/fabfiles/home.htm website to the inquiry about an
alternative to Wausau Modulars. There are some cool looking houses
on that website. Does anyone know if they are licensed to work in The
Keys and if they meet the 155 MPH wind load required by Monroe County? As
I wrote earlier on, I am putting up a Nationwide Home with Atlantic
structures on a recommendation of a friend. I am very happy with the
houses I have seen and as a company, Atlantic Structures has been great.
I still like the idea of more options being offered. For many years one
company had a monopoly on the affordable modulars and Wausau (Trailer
looking) homes are all they carry. It is nice to have several choices to
pick from now.
A big Kudos to the person who pointed out the other website and to
Atlantic structures for a job well done on my project. Thanks guys.

| I have lived in the Keys most of my life, own property in a
platted subdivision with water and utilities on the paved road out front.
The lot is not wetlands but has been red flagged by the county so that I can
not get a building permit. The land has been in my family since the 60's and
my parents have planned to retire and live there.
What really gets at me is all these people from places like New Jersey
can throw down enough cash to get any place they want built. Hundreds
of condos under the name of low income housing, Habitat for humanity can
build dozens of houses but people who bought property decades ago with the
understanding that it was going to be buildable, in a platted subdivision,
can not get a building permit and are not given any valid reason why. |
 I have seen
it all now. At a local bar I saw a woman who looked just like Fat
Bastard from Austin Powers, only with long hair. She had to go
a metric ton, but guys were hitting on her. I would mention the name of
the place, but I don't want to rankle the person touting this
establishment, as she seems to be getting her panties in a knot lately.
|
| The outrageous windstorm rates don't piss me off
nearly as much as the fact we are forced to buy flood insurance when the
house is 18 feet above sea level. We buy the insurance knowing the water
will never reach the floor of our houses. We buy the insurance knowing dam
well that they will not pay for any damage in our down stairs enclosures due
to flooding. We pay the insurance so that nit wits on the outer banks can
rebuild every year just to loose their houses again in a hurricane. Why do
they let them rebuild in the biggest hurricane magnet on the planet? |

I bought a doughnut and they gave me a receipt for the doughnut... I don't
need a receipt for the doughnut. I give you money and you give me the
doughnut, end of transaction. We don't need to bring ink and paper into
this. I can't imagine a scenario that I would have to prove that I bought a
doughnut. (To some skeptical friend), Don't even act like I didn't buy a
doughnut, I've got the documentation right here... It's in my file at home.

 Wal-Mart:
With 4,400 stores they practice "predatory pricing." They come into a
community and sell their goods at below cost until they drive local
businesses under. Once they have captured the market the prices go up.
--The corporation took out nearly 350,000 life insurance policies on their
employees. They did not tell the employees and then named the corporation as
the beneficiary. They are now being sued by numerous employees, and although
the corporation has stopped this practice of purchasing what is known as
"Dead Peasant Policy's", a company spokesperson stated, "The company feels
it acted properly and legally in doing this."
--Nearly 1 MILLION women are involved in the largest class-action suit every
filed against a corporation. Although women make up over 65% of this
corporations work force only 10% of them are managers. The women who have
become store managers make $16,400 a year LESS then the men.
--Locally owned and operated businesses put virtually all of their money
back into the community which helps keep the local economies vibrant. This
corporation sucks the money out of the local community, decreases wages and
benefits and ships the profits out of state.
--This company doesn't buy locally or bank locally. They replace three
decent paying jobs in a community with two poorly paid "part-timers".
--In Kirksville, Missouri when this company came to town, four clothing
stores, four grocery stores, a stationary store, a fabric store and a
lawn-and-garden store all went under. Eleven businesses are now gone. |

 I
am the one who would like everybody that doesn't like Big Pine to leave.
I have been here long before all the regulations were put into place. I
have seen all the changes that Big Pine Key has gone through. I got caught
with the regulation sting also. I had bought a piece of property to build
a house on many years ago and lost that ability when I could finally
afford to build a home because of the endangered hardwood trees that were
on the acre lot. It took years, but finally, I was able to have my own
house. So I move on with my life and still enjoy the beauty of Big Pine
Key and appreciate that this is the only Key that will not turn into Miami
south. I work hard every day of my life to enable myself and my children
to live here.
Maybe you misunderstood what I said. I don't want
everybody to leave. There are many wonderful people that live here and
realize the special ness of Big Pine Key. Most of them have been here for
a long time. It is the people that don't like Big Pine that should go. Or
the people that have recently moved here and think they know how Big Pine
would be better. It is all the complainers that have nothing good to say
about Big Pine. These people offend me. they can move anywhere and still
not be happy. The grass is always greener on the other side of the meadow
to many.
And I do remember the good old days when...But the good old
days have gone with the wind and now we look at another time in the same
place. So cherish what we have and if you don't like it here, there is
affordable housing in Bradenton or Cape Coral. That's where many of our
old good neighbors have moved to. I didn't like seeing them go but their
season here ended. The first sign of that is not liking Big Pine anymore.

 Re: Vegetarian.
The worse thing about being a vegetarian is not eating bacon. God, I miss
bacon! The second thing to know is that it takes forever to prepare a
meatless meal to equal a meat meal in excellence. You can't just throw a
carrot in the pan and eat it on a bun with ketchup. Vegetarian meals take a
lot of prep. It's hard to be satisfied eating a carrot. Your meals are going
to take a lot more planning than most people are willing to endure. It's a
great diet if you don't work and are a great cook. Plus you don't get tired
after you eat any more. |

To everyone out there that has lived here for a long time

need to leave the Keys; and let's build the place up. The bigger
the better. Get rid of the trailer people, etc. You all need to read this.

It's amazing. Note also

remains in the direct company of Saudi Arabia, Viet Nam, Iran and Pakistan
in terms of number of executions committed, making us the only Western
country in the calendar year 2004 to exercise such barbarism -- and with
such frequency (59 executions). Of course, the true model for this
practice is China. (Indeed, don't judge us by the company we keep.) And
amazingly, we still deign to lecture all of these countries on the virtues
of being democratic, open societies -- notwithstanding our own record and,
more important, our obsession to consume the goods and resources we derive
from these places, permitting us to turn not one, but two blind eyes . I

| 256 million dollars to fix the 18 mile stretch is
stupid and ridiculous. I have seen the best solution suggested for free at
least 10 times since I've lived here. Simply and cheaply, make the 18 mile
stretch one way coming in and Card Sound Rd. one way going out and during
evacuation make both one way out. Simple so far, Huh! - total labor
involved, turn around some signs and re-stripe 2 roads. Total cost less than
$100 thousand dollars. Now let's do the math: 256 million minus 100
thousand. Let's see, this saves the county over 255 million (about 98%). Now
we can buy shelters too. Does anyone know a reason why this won't work. It
seems like a no-brainer to me and there would never be a head on crash
again. |

couple of months ago, after going to Winn-Dixie, I decided to stop at
Scotty's, but as I pulled up I saw they were now closed (3 days after final
closing). So I kept on going home. Surprised, I'm being pulled over by a
scooter cop. He tells me it's illegal to avoid a traffic light. I tried to
tell him I was going to Scotty's. He wouldn't even listen and got rude and
threatened me with 10x the fine amount if I challenge him in court. I was
pissed. He expected me to pay $115 and go to traffic school and get 3 points
on my record. All I did was cut through a lot. Tagged with the same ticket
someone that runs a red light would get. So I plead not-guilty. I knew I was
innocent but was surprised it took the judge less than two minutes to
dismiss the charges. Kudos to the judge for seeing quickly how ridiculous
this was. By the officers attitude I'm sure he was having a bad day, but
this story is proof that the officer isn't always right. Don't be afraid to
stand up for your rights and don't let an officer intimidate you into
pleading guilty, like he tried to do to me. Before I even went to court my
insurance went up because my record says I ran a red light. Hopefully,
they'll reverse it. Justice was served. Thank you Monroe County. |

Responding to the person asking about an alternative modular home to
Wausau, I am having Atlantic Structures build my family home. They
appear to be a far better alternative to Wausau. I chose them for just
the reason you asked about, they look like a house and not a trailer on
stilts. You can see their work all over Key West and they have done quite
a few in The Lower Keys. They did a home for a buddy of mine who was very
happy with them. If you show them a concrete house or framed out house
they can mimic the blue print. It is a father and son ran company and so
far I have been very happy with them.

| To the person who thinks everyone needs to
leave because they don't like some of the way things are on this
beautiful island. You need to understand that timing has a lot to do with
the distaste some people have for Big Pine. A lot of folks bought property
here back when there weren't a lot of regulations for every little thing
around us. They bought property that was subdivided for residential use. Not
Key Deer. They thought when they worked until retirement or financial
reasons they would be able to move here and enjoy the Deer and all else that
you must. But, that sure didn't happen. If that happened to you, how would
you feel? Look at all those empty lots on those paved streets and canals.
Somebody lost out, not just because of rules and regulations but because of
the timing.
 I don't know
when you got here and don't care, but what if it were just a little later
and you were told you couldn't live on your own lot because of a deer, tree,
snail, bird, bug, or just plain bad planning by the officials who are paid
to make sure things like that don't happen. So try to understand some of the
bad feelings people have about what goes on here on our island. I'm a
property owner and I do. Some of the people who live here like drug dealers
and others with no good intentions make it even harder for good honest
folks, like you seem to be, to make a go of it here because they are taking
up space where some good person or family could be. Look around and try to
figure out how to make it easier for good folks to be our neighbors instead
of asking everyone to move.

talking about? I didn't know L.S.D. was available in the Keys. Either share

 I just
got back from CVS and the prescription I picked up for my husband was
the wrong medication. What they gave him is something he is allergic to,
they could have killed him! I called them and they acted like it was no big
deal--scary. They checked the fax from the doctor and said it could have
been read as either one. Why wouldn't they call the doctor to verify what
the prescription should be instead of guessing? Everyone please check your
meds before taking. |

about the food. After at least five trys the pizza is good, but every time
the center is completely raw. I even mentioned it once but no change. Maybe
take a big cookie cutter and cut out the center then it would be cooked
thoroughly and maybe start a new trend. But kudos for delivering till

Kudos to Dr. Grider and staff for being here in Big Pine. It was a real
pleasure in comparison to the other Doctors' office which was horrific. If
you get lousy customer service by someone who is unhappy in their life and
in their job, you could point it out to their boss, tell your friends about
the bad experience and simply go to another company. There are too many
miserable people who have jobs dealing with the public. Why don't they work
in a cubicle instead of being downright mean, anti-social, monosyllabic?
Instead of taking things personal, know that there are many unstable /
unhappy folks living here and have no abilities for random acts of kindness
or being civil to others. This, in turn, creates even more disharmony within
their small, dark worlds as it is easier to be NICE than it is to be nasty.
Cheer up, we're living in a great place and most of the Piners are very nice
so don't let the small percentage of disturbed individuals bring you down! |

By the way Editor, I think most
of us knew what you meant by "mea culpa", however it technically doesn't
mean "I'm Sorry". In modern English it more closely means "I'm guilty"
("through my own fault"). Admitting guilt for something and saying I'm
sorry are two very different things in my humble opinion. We get the point
though. New vocabulary helps keep this site interesting.

The idea of giving sex offenders Viagra has to be one of the most
ridiculous things the government has approved. Take a sex offender and
give him a drug to enhance a woody. This scares me after reading the sex
offender page on the government website and seeing that there are several
sex offenders in The Lower Keys. Let's skip the Viagra and give those
sickos a free castration in public with a blow torch. All we would have
to do is torch one of them and make all the others watch. Just see how
quickly they are cured from their so called disease.

| "Leftists who no longer
speak of the duties of citizens, but only of the rights of clients, cannot
be expected to grasp the importance (not least to our survival) of fostering
in the Middle East the crucial developmental advances that gave rise to our
own capacity for pluralism, self-reflection, and equality. A left averse to
making common cause with competent, self- determining individuals -- people
who guide their lives on the basis of received values, everyday moral
understandings, traditional wisdom, and plain common sense -- is a faction
that deserves the marginalization it has pursued with such tenacity for so
many years.
All of which is why I have come to believe, and gladly
join with others who have discovered for themselves, that the single most
important thing a genuinely liberal person can do now is walk away from the
house the left has built. The renewal of any tradition that deserves the
name "progressive" becomes more likely with each step in a better
direction." - Keith Thompson

| Cops. Let me see if I got this right.
One cop was fired for getting drunk on his own time, even though he wanted
to drive, but didn't. Another cop (off duty) put him in a life threatening
choke hold until he was unconscious--and then revived him. The chief said he
was not authorized to use such action, but he still has his job. Something
seems very wrong with this picture. One more question, how did all the rest
of the cops get home from their party? I bet they drove, which makes every
cop, but the drunk one that didn't drive guilty of crimes. But the only one
fired didn't break the law. (Did he?) He just got drunk on private property,
not in public. This would have been a great episode of "Cops." |

I agree with yesterday's writer regarding the area of
critical concern. Big Pine is very different from all the other Keys
and I for one would like to keep it that way. Once again I ask all you
people who don't like this island to please leave. I am tired of hearing
just how bad it is here. This is a truly amazing place and if you don't
like the uniqueness of Big Pine, there are plenty of affordable houses in
Cape Coral or Bradenton. Have a great trip!

 As I was
flushing the toilet while still sitting on it, I was gratified to know the
Enzyte was working as the water came up to "meet me" until I realized that
the water came from the front lip of the porcelain device. Oh well, I was
king of my world for about 10 seconds...and it was good.
Speaking of which, do you ever wonder who these people are that come up
with things like: 65% of people flush the toilet while still on it vs. 35%
who leap off before hitting the handle. Who gets these figures and how or
better still...why? There was one instance when I was sure that someone
with a clipboard was hiding behind the shower curtain.

 Kudos to
Gen. Wesley Clarke. Did anyone watch the interview with this man? If you
did you heard a lot of crap that Bush pulled. Notice how many people claim
to know that Bush walked into office with Saddam in his sights. He also
pointed out 3 countries more of a threat to us than Iraq. For the life of
me, I can't understand why any survivor or family of anyone from the
terrible 9/11 incident can stand behind such a tyrant. I see you got your
pro-Bush picture for your pro-Bush comment. But when all the truths finally
come out, you will see that the editor's pictures are far more acurrate. Is
anyone really looking for Bin Laden? If he was driving an oil truck I bet
they would find him. Editor, I love your pictures, keep it up. |

Speaking of restaurants, I saw this on BBC
news.
Chinese chefs will go to great lengths to please their customers and the
unusual ingredient they are reported to be using of late seems to confirm
that reputation. According to local newspapers, a restaurant in southern
Hunan province has started offering dishes cooked with human breast milk.
Two dishes were offered for the first time on 25 January, featuring abalone
and perch. When the customers are having the human milk banquet, they can
experience maternal love at the same time.

Bush speech at Calvin College
Graduation:
Mr. Bush added: "Someday you will appreciate the grammar and verbal skills
you learned here. And if any of you wonder how far a mastery of the English
language can take you, just look what it did for me."
"I was just telling Laura the other night about what fun it would be to
come to Calvin College," Mr. Bush said, referring to the first lady. "I
said: 'You know, Laura, I love being around so many young folks. You know,
it gives me a chance to relive my glory days in academia.' She said,
'George, that's not exactly how I would describe your college experience.' "

I know this isn't a Keys fish, but this is deee-lish. The best grilled
salmon I've ever had.
Pacific Northwest Grilled Salmon
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup (packed) brown sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon natural liquid smoke flavoring
3/4 teaspoon crushed dried red pepper flakes
1 center cut salmon fillet (about 2 pounds), skin on, in one piece
1. Combine the butter, honey, brown sugar, lemon juice, liquid smoke, and
red pepper flakes in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until
smooth, 5 to 7 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
2. Arrange the salmon in a dish just large enough to hold it. Pour the
cooled marinade over it, and let it stand for 30 minutes, turning once.
3. Prepare hot coals for grilling.
4. Oil the grill well, and cook the salmon, skin side up, over medium heat
for 5 to 7 minutes. Then turn it over and cook until the fish flakes easily,
another 5 to 7 minutes.
5. Transfer the fish to a platter, and serve immediately.
Four portions. |
 I
think George W. is the poorest excuse for a president ever. Period.
Please feel free to add the most demeaning picture of him you can find and
add it to my commentary. Maybe someday the Democrats will come up with a
viable candidate that would make it too hard for the Conservatives to rig
another election. I am always reminded of the look on W's face when he
was first told of the terrorist attacks of 9/11. He looked like a
confused little child and certainly not a head of state, let alone the
head of the most powerful country on earth. Do you really want someone
who looks like a deer in the headlights of an oncoming car leading us? I
don't think the W stands for Walker, but rather wussy perhaps?

 Did anyone
hear on the news that registered sex offenders are getting Viagra for
free because they qualify for Medicaid! First off, anyone on Medicaid should
not have any input in the gene pool, Second, Sex offenders should be
outlawed from any drugs that enhance sexual performance.
This really pisses me off and blows Darwin's theory of natural selection
right out of the water. Let's take the people who can't fend for themselves
and give them free sex enhancement drugs-? Are these traits we really want
to continue in the human species? We are taking the least desirable of our
species and enhancing their ability to breed. This has me more upset than
Mike Tyson at a spelling bee. |

This
is how the Key Deer Refuge people deal with dead deer off of US1. Six
hours have passed now, in this heat, and this is as far as the cops would
move it from the middle of the road. Then I was told that no one would pick
it up until Tuesday! What is wrong with this picture? Then a passerby told
me that I should put ice on it because it will start to stink. It was
also amazing to see the people that usually go by this spot several times a
day, go another way so they don't have to look at it. I think that you
refuge people are money hungry, and have no concern for these creatures
except for the money you can collect from the government on your grants. And
another thing, if we were caught moving it, this "humane" agency would be
all over anyone who touches it. This is very sick.
