...you see a hurricane coming and you ask SJ to run by your place to see if it's okay
...you get fired from your job and you're happy about it
...you see a person's screen name and you know their real name, too
...your spouse/SO knows who you're talking about when you refer to gttbm or LL or RO
...you know more about what's going on in a SoWaller's family than you do your own
...you're late for your work-out because you're responding to a post
...you've stopped watching TV or reading books because SoWal is your best source of information
...you have a mental image of the regulars even if you actually have no idea what they look like
...you check SoWal.com even when you're in SoWal
...dinner is late, the kids are starving, the house looks like a bomb hit it, and your spouse walks in and says "what did you do today" even though s/he knows the answer...
Any more?

Add to this list...
When you decide (after a horrific hurricane) to keep your house mainly because you wouldn't have a good reason to log on otherwise.
When you walk up to a guy on the beach, ask if he's _______ and get it right on the first try! (Yes, I mean you.)
When your spouse no longer asks, "Who in the world are you talking about?" when you update him on a South Walton thread saga.
When you get a call from your house painter and you can tell him "Congrats!" on your cousin's upcoming wedding plans and your mom says, "That 'little girl' lives right down the street."
When you get a PM from a person less than half your age who dove from your third-story deck into your swimming pool on a recent visit!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Mine is not far off mark, but you know you live at the beach when on a Novemeber morning (like today), you begin to go out the door to work, and realize you forgot to put on a shirt. (Yes, it really happened.) :D

11-08-2005, 07:51 PM
Ok...I have a few more. I was eating an ice cream sandwich and it was dripping on me.
When you play "Is that Kurt" with every person on the beach with a camera.
When J-Funn text you "Sowal Now"
When J-Funn gets mad when you are just plain ready to go to bed and she yells because she is posting.
Talking about Sowal in serious conversation.
You have been blackmailed with a picture in a compromising situation.
When you get excited when new smilies come and sad when some go...and then really excited when Kurt brings one back and names it after you.
There are many more. But I have to go get my laundry.

... when you sleep with a loaded 12 gauge sawed-off shotgun because Beach Runner told you to do so.:shock:
Better READy than DEADy! The local police took 20 minutes to get here after our home invasion. If the perps had decided to shoot us, we would have been dead long before the police arrived.
BTW it turns out that the perps were the daughter and son-in-law of a professor who reports to me (I'm department chair). Back then when my husband was out of the country, I used to stay with my Mom in ATL to help with my small child. But I was too tired that night, so we went to sleep early and planned to leave the next AM. When they saw the lights off early, they thought we were gone. They did 25+ break-ins in our town, and both went to jail. They picked upscale houses (they were called the "shopping list" burglars), and stole expensive clothing, jewelry, furniture, paintings, etc. Almost every family in my daughter's class at her private school got hit. The local bank president got hit twice because the woman wore the same size as the president's wife and liked her taste in clothes. Another family got hit twice because the man liked his Ralph Lauren clothes. At one home they were brazen enough to fix a steak dinner, read the daughter's diary, and flush the goldfish down the commode.
The woman is out of jail - I avoid her presence whenever I hear that she is on campus visiting her father - I just might punch her out if I saw her face-to-face. Her husband is still in jail because he raped a few women while he was doing the home invasions.
BTW don't forget the cell phone by the bed in case they cut your phone line like most home invaders do!

...you don't have time for lunch because you're catching up on posts.

...you feel as though the regulars on the board are your old friends with whom you can confide everything, even if it can be Googled!

Oh lordy no!!! He is a like Old King Kole...a merry old soul! No risk taking for this one...he's like a walking talking bill of rights, Ten Commandments and SNL combined!!! Very quiet, but a dry, SARCASTIC sense of humor (stop looking at me!). He might buy you a drink....but if you start throwing up, he'd probably leave your sorry rear at the bar!!! And if he knew I was talking about him right now, he'd say..."You are so annoying!!!"

When a person can say what they think about things that irritate them about South Walton et al, and all they get in reply is a popcorn smiley (although in the readers hearts they agree, well, maybe a little!). I am a reactionary and we all know it, and it may even help just a little bit when someone speaks out on a issue that would remain behind a screen of political correctness otherwise.

They spend tonight in Tampa at Oldtimers and on to SoWal tomorrow. They had the greatest week! She said they parked the car, rented bikes and didn't drive anywhere the whole week. Now they are ready to see their little guy who has been with a friend all week.

Unfortunately, I spent the best part of the day with MS getting his expired passport renewed! Ant then PawPaw came!
I made the Three Day Salad yesterday and if I play my cards right, after I make cornbread and wild rice for the DRESSING tonight, I can just be the apprentice for the rest of the makings! HMM and PawPaw both like to cook and I like to watch and eat. The kids and I always clean up because we are so thankful for the good food they made!

Just so you know, I drove ALL BY MYSELF to Evansville, which is a good 3 1/2 hours from Indianapolis. I picked up my dear sweet boy from school (it's amazing how dear and sweet they become when you send them off to college for a few months :cool: ).
This was quite an accomplishment for me because no one in the world ever lets me drive because I have no sense of direction and am, in generous terms, a kind of lousy driver. :funn: I got lost in Evansville and turned the air blue with my extreme curses and foul language but eventually I got to USI, collected the kid and came home. We talked the whole way back! Amazing! I told him all about SoWal and how the beach is really part of his life now. :wub: :wub: There was a lot to be Thankful for this afternoon.

...you're late for your work-out because you're responding to a post
...you've stopped watching TV or reading books because SoWal is your best source of information
...you have a mental image of the regulars even if you actually have no idea what they look like
...you check SoWal.com even when you're in SoWal
...dinner is late, the kids are starving, the house looks like a bomb hit it, and your spouse walks in and says "what did you do today" even though s/he knows the answer...
