NYOB,

Yes, my husband is a bum who posts 24/7 in rec.boats. His
lives
his life
vicariously by fabricating stories about how great he is. ;
)

I hope he doesn't read your post. He sounds like a classic
Narcissist...and they don't deal very well with criticism.

Or reality :-)

Maybe that's why NOYB is thoroughly convinced that his little
swamp
town is the greatest place on earth, with the greatest people,
the
best
of everything.


Hehehe. Those swampbillies sure have a lot of money.

My little swamp town just raised $12 million for underserved
children
this
past Saturday at our Winter Wine Festival auction.

" The grand total far surpasses last year's giving of $7.6
million, a
number
that had elevated the event to the most successful wine charity
auction in
the world. The Naples wine festival surpassed even the prestigious
Napa
Valley festival. "



http://www.naplesnews.com/npdn/news/...526840,00.html


If they auctioned off the entire town (and possessions) of
Snellville, they
probably couldn't raise half as much money as a single day auction
in

Naples.

So, NOYB, how much time have you spent in Snellville to be able to
say
such things? Also, is money your sole qualification for how nice a
place is to live? That's all?

Of course not. I went boating/fishing on Friday and Sunday this
weekend.

I went Saturday.
I
also went to see Phantom of the Opera, and ate at a Fodor's top 100
restaurant Saturday night...and only had to drive 20 minutes from my
house
to do both.
I can do the same from MY house.
I watched the Superbowl yesterday while sitting on my lanai

I watched sitting on my deck, with about 20 other people, that were
around my age, NOT retirees.



Looks like it was a balmy 48F~40F in Snellville during most of the game
and going to a low of 36F at the end of the game.



Asslicker's wife must have kicked him out of the mobile home
again......LMAO








Those really are not bad temperatures to watch a football game in....if you
are at the game. But I would not sit outside on my porch watching the
entire game when it was warm and cozy inside...the only exception being if
it were a tailgate party setup as Bassy may have had, especially considering
he had 20 friends over. We do that for some OSU games but eventually come
inside to watch most of the game.

Snellville, GA certainly has far more temperate temperatures than Avon Lake,
OH so I can not kid him about the weather.

I have a friend that is a Navy Recruiter. I had asked him one day what's the
number of recruits that you put through. His reply was, 1 in a 1000 gets in.




JAXAshby February 7th 05 11:39 PM

hoary, please stop repeated 20x repeated stories. Everyone who took a military
physical during VN knows that virtually everyone passed. And everyone who wnet
through boot camp knows that just a tiny number were rejected in boot camp for
physical reasons.

hoary, you learned your military lore when watching 1950's tv.

Then he explained why. Which is, they failed the entrance exam, medical
reasons, school grades, failed pshyc exam, and over weight, are the top 5
reason why. It's not because they don't want to join, it's because the
standards have risen.



Believe it or not, this was true during the Vietnam Era, too, though I
don't know what the proportion was. When I worked for The AP in West
Virginia, I had a buddy there who was an MD in the Army, and part of his
duties involved examining draftees and recruits. This was Appalachia,
times were tough in that part of the country then (and they are still
tough) and many young men who didn't have the wherewithal to get into
college or pay for it looked to the military as a way out of where they
were, joblessness, or, at best, some awful coal mine job.

Problem was, many of the young men had suffered serious malnutrition, or
didn't have the ability to do even modestly well in school, or had
horrific dental problems (this, I recall, was the biggest disqualified),
and couldn't even get into the Army during a serious war. It broke his
heart, my doctor friend said, to turn down so many of these kids because
they really had no other options.

Keep in mind that I have no problems with most individuals who serve in
the military. I think soldiers who serve in a war battle zone are
grossly underpaid, and I think their benefits suck, too. My problem is
with the institution of the military and its corruption.

Of course not. I went boating/fishing on Friday and Sunday this

I didn't have to cut a hole in the ice.


Neither did I. Where to hell did that idea pop in your head?

I
also went to see Phantom of the Opera, and ate at a Fodor's top

100
restaurant Saturday night...and only had to drive 20 minutes from

my

So you like sitting around outside in 40 degree weather? Most people

prefer
Florida weather.


It was 64. You must remember, I lived in FL for many years, therefore I
know what I'm talking about. How long did you live in the Atlanta area?

decided whether I'll go boating 2 or 3 days
this coming weekend...or if I'll go golfing on one of those days

instead.

I don't golf.


The cows and goats get in the way?


Bet there's more cows in Collier County than in Dekalb.


The following weekend, I planning on driving 90 minutes across

Alligator
Alley to attend the World's largest boat show.


Whoopee!


I figured that since you're on a boating newsgroup, you'd have an

interest
in boats. I figured wrong.


There is a huge boat show at the World Congress Center each year, and
then several smaller ones. Whoopee, because apparently you think that
because you live in Naples, you are the only one able to attend a
flippin' boat show, which is quite funny!

Several weekends after that,
I'll be towing my boat down to the Keys for some much-needed

R&R...and be
back in time for my 8am patient on Monday.


IF I were to live in FL again, it'd be the Keys, not quite so many
retired zombies there.



By then it will be
April/May...and the world's greatest tarpon, kingfish, and snook

fishery
comes alive just minutes from the dock behind my house.


Bass and stripers here.


I'm talking about in my backyard...not some 40 minute drive to a

land-locked
lake.


Big deal. I don't have to deal with the Depends generation minute by
minute.
And, Lake Lanier is considered one of the best spotted bass fisheries
in the U.S. Then, within a few hours there are many, many beautiful
lakes available to me.



It's hard to believe that all of these great things are available

in
my lil'
ol' "swamp" town...plus the most millionaires per capita than

anywhere else
in the country.


Again, fine, if you like living with the Depends set.


North Collier Hospital, which is about 2 miles from my house,

delivers 300
babies/month. They're not being conceived by "the Depends set".

Naples
also has 4 public high schools, and 4 private schools that go through

grade
12. They're not attended by "the Depends set".


There are people, such as yourself, that are needed to change those
Depends, etc. Take a look at the median age of Naples, compared to
other places. Remember now, statistic wise, a couple of years means a
lot.

I don't know. BUT, your ignorance is showing again, John. A
manufactured home can be many different things, other than a mobile
home, or trailer. There is pre-cast concrete sections, manufactured log
homes, panelized foam sandwich construction, and on, and on.
