Avid professional lurker!

MissouriMom · 07-29-2008, 04:41 PM

Hi all! I'm from St. Louis, and found this site after Hurricane Dennis. Have been hooked ever since. We've been coming to Seagrove since '01, and love it there. My favorite place is Deer Creek State Park, followed closely by Cerulean Park in Watercolor. When I come to the beach, I also pick up trash very early in the morning. It always amazes me how people think it's OK to leave all their water bottles, beer cans, etc on that beautiful beach, and not think twice about it. I applaud all of you who care and campaign to keep it pristine. Well, that was my first post! That wasn't so hard, and now I hope the notice at the top of the page will go away about never posting!!

to a fellow St. Louisian.

kurt · 07-29-2008, 05:28 PM

Thanks for helping us take care of the beach!

Allifunn · 07-29-2008, 05:49 PM

We need more people like you to visit our beaches!

DD · 07-29-2008, 06:06 PM

Finally! I've seen you lurking!! Glad you posted!!

Beachbummett · 07-29-2008, 06:08 PM

MissouriMom! Thanks for helping keep our beaches beautiful.

Now....post some more!

Mark Partington · 07-29-2008, 06:32 PM

pretty cool you take the time to notice & care....its probably the anguish of that long walkover....too bad theres not parking on the beach.
Hang out long enough & you'll be amazed at the number of tourists unable to read the 'stay off dunes' signs. sometimes having too much money gives ya that 'false entitlement' issue' of crapping in others back yards.

Miss Kitty · 07-29-2008, 06:58 PM

Hey MizzouMom! I like your style...come join the funn!

Oh you girls

Now, you know ALL my secrets.

MissouriMom · 07-30-2008, 08:17 AM

Thanks to all for the warm welcome. I, too, did not know that I could be noticed as a lurker..kind of scary!!!

Okay, I guess I should come out of lurk mode also: I'm another St. Louisan hinding in the background and wishing I was still at the beach. We were there in June and hope to be back next year (if not sooner).

Cheering472 · 07-30-2008, 09:17 AM

DD has a sixth sense..."I see lurkers"... que the scary music...

MM and Ransom!!!
PS -- I think there is a way that you can "cloak" yourself and not be seen as being on line.

Smiling JOe · 07-30-2008, 10:24 AM

are people who search for lurkers considered voyeurs?

MissouriMom · 07-30-2008, 12:19 PM

Or they could be "lurker stalkers"...

TooFarTampa · 07-31-2008, 07:05 PM

I just love St. Louis people.

My best friend is one! And I have met (and rented to, and SoWalled with, and bought furniture from) so many others.

rocket136 · 08-04-2008, 04:07 PM

We always meet people we know from STL when we're down. For about the last 6 years about 10 familes we know come down for spring break.

Do they come to SOWAL? Many more go to Destin.
Lots of good people from the Lou come to 30A regularly

MissouriMom · 08-07-2008, 01:58 PM

When I wear my Seagrove Beach t-shirt, no comments. I got a Destin sweatshirt over Spring Break, and when I wear that around STL, I get lots of comments and conversation about Destin. I turned some neighbors/friends on to Sowal last Fall, and they loved it....and I didn't think they would. Go figure! --MoMo

Where in St. Louis are you all from? Or rather, should I ask, what high school did you go to? I'm a Parkway Central alum!

S.L.U.H.--now almost in Clayton

ktschris · 08-12-2008, 04:59 PM

My son almost picked SLUH, but opted for CBC instead. Glad hwy 40 is shut down for the next 2 years, it makes it very convenient (sarcasm off)

By the Bay · 08-13-2008, 08:42 AM

Any Mizzou grads out there as well? Every now and then I catch a sticker on the back of someone's car or spot a Mizzou shirt along the bike trail on 30A but not too many. I see more Cardinals logos than anything else, although if our football team can hold its own again this year maybe that will change. Last year I was so happy - my hubby thinks Auburn is the greatest when it comes to football and I got to finally show him up with Mizzou.

I sure hope they can repeat. I did get a little nervous when I spotted them on last weeks cover of SI. That is never a good thing.
