From the standpoint of a teenager, to answer your question, yes, we want summer jobs, but not where we'd be vacationing. haha

here are a few more I thought of....

-The airplanes that fly over with streamers advertising some sale at Wings are annoying....but I bet the messages I leave for them in the sand at low tide are just as annoying.
-If you chose to skate on the sidewalk, don't get mad at the property owners because the sand from our sidewalk ruins your bearings...it's the beach.
-The rental offices are alway the coldest buildings on the island, always.
-If you are on the back canals, don't mess with the crab traps...that's like messing with someone's girlfriend/wife.
-No matter how experienced the guy at the Fishing shop looks, he doesn't know what he's talking about.That's why he works in a tackleshop and not a charter boat.

Re: 1DE's Beach Thoughts

13) The little old lady crying about losing her home over property taxes deserves no pity! Until this years reassessment in OC, her full square block property was assessed at around $7,000.00 a year. She now has to pay $40,000.00 a year in taxes. I love seeing all of the townies crying about how their taxes have gone from $1 to $2k up to $3 to $5k. Welcome to my world! Now the townies have to pay the same as us "landlords", guess what? My taxes there went down $2k!

Believe it or not I agree with you here. You have a little old lady who is pissed that her taxes are high on her 5 bedroom house that she has lived in for years and she has to move. Guess what lady! You don't need five bedrooms anymore. It is highest and best use. Move to a little house where the property taxes aren't so high and make way for the next generation! If you live there till you die that beautiful old house ends up falling down around you anyway and totally loses it's value. (You touched on my pet peeve).

14) The cleaning people for my parents beach homes are a racket. They make $100 per cleaning that takes them less then 1/2 hour!

Yeah it sucks that someone should actually make a living off the free enterprise system. I suppose you and I making a good living off of the finance segment is fair and legal

17) Was I that big a jerk when I was a teen ager?

Most definetely! You thought you were it. You walked down the street looking at all those middle aged losers saying that you would never be a sell out like them. We all were a little that way. That realization doesn't stop me from wanting to punch them sometimes.

24) The ocean is always breath-taking!

Finallys a comment your wife can appreciate. No wonder she wants to stay at the beach and get away from such negativity! LOL. I'd be a liar if I didn't admit I do the same things. That is why I have to come to AO. She can't stand to listen to all my theories and petty gripes.

Actually it is that she owns her home and 4 subdivided lots that make up the block. Those lots could fetch upwards of $200k each and she is crying poverty. Yet she was in the forefront of townies demanding that beach front high school. I guess it sucks when you get what you ask for!

Didn't say it sucked, I said it was a racket!

Same here. The wife will be at the shore for the summer and I need only report there every other weekend or so. It is only a 1 hour drive, so I am expected their often. However the AC Expressway in the summer on a Friday is murder!

Lets see.....spending the summer at the shore. Sounds to me like she has a pretty sweet setup. By my math she better not complain if she has to listen to you spew your theories (even if they are both insane and wrong). BTW the last piece of my dream mechanical marker should be coming soon. Then I'll post it as a warning to you Shartley, Facts, and even good ol' CB to never cross paths (or words) with the dreadful and powerful aaron_mag online ever again! Now if only I can stop those darn kids with the rental markers from eliminating me I'll finally get some respect on the field!!!!

Exactly. She should be thrilled! Yet I still get grief. I should have you talk to my wife!

Check out my sig! I own an X-Mag remember! I fear no one! Except those magnatized paintballs that always seem to be attracted to my marker!

okay, this is just wierd. We just got out rental information from the rental company. My grandmother owns the house, so to help pay for the bills(the house is paid for), we pay the full rental cost as usual. Well, we get the rental information and with it was a "Guide to the Beach". Now, this comes as no shocker because 90% of the people who rent, are not regular beach goers. In fact, according to our last survey, almost 75% said they had never gone to the beach before. Well, this guide usually explains details about the rules and laws, things to bring, recommendations for eating and entertainment, notices about events, and generalized information about the area. Well, not this years edition. This years edition is retarded from cover to cover. It goes into a three page description about what to do if your child gets sunburned. THREE PAGES! Holy cow, I could get it down to three sentences and some explicatives concerning being a bad parent. There is another two page section on how to properly work a beach umbrella, complete with pictures and a diagram. If that wasn't enough, there are warnings about the stove being hot, the sand being hot, and splinters from the wood deck.

Wow, the culmutative IQ of beach goers at Ocean Isle Beach just dropped below the number of times I've seen Lilo and Stitch. I just hope when we get there, they've all left.

Yeah I'll bet she'll listen to me. I actually mentioned your situation to my wife as we were climbing into bed and she commented that it wasn't fair. When I pressed her on what she meant she said that it wasn't fair that you got to get away from your family duties while your wife was at the beach minding the kids. She was serious! I brought up the issue of having to work to afford beach house payments etc then we agreed to drop it. No reason to fight about another couples things. We have our own issues to fight about should we choose!!!!

Check out my sig! I own an X-Mag remember! I fear no one!

I haven't forgotten your pathetic little X-Mag. It isn't even unique within a 15 mile radius remember! My ULE retromag is special (okay if someone buys the same feedneck etc it will not be unique but don't spoil it for me).

Except those magnatized paintballs that always seem to be attracted to my marker!

Not a bad idea. Tom could you look into this for us. Magnatized paintballs could really help me out!

Isn't that just like a woman? If you got run over by a Ferrarri, she would say that at least you got a close up look at your dream car!

Women are real wierd aren't they? I bust my butt so that my wife can enjoy a nice summer at the beach with our kids and she thinks I should be grateful to be a bachelor again!

Women, can't live with them and you can't kill them!

Okay, don't sing it, BRING IT! Never mind, your little ULE will tremble at the sight of my mighty X!

NOOOOOOO! I have never had so many marker hits in my life. My X-Mag seems to be a paintball magnet!

Yes that was my wife's attitude as well. You should be grateful that you get to be a bachelor again. As if the fact that you don't get to pursue women despite all your other "freedom" doesn't doom your non working hours anyway. Not to mention that all your friends probably are married so its not like you can go out on the town without pissing off their wives. So basically your life is work until you get that rare paintball opportunity. Women! (Did I lay it on thick enough to sell it to the wife)

You hit the nail on the head.

I basically work longer hours now then when they are home! By the time I get home, I am so tired that I just go to bed! Sure am having some fun now!

It is okay to rationalize all of this as long as we remember that we are lucky as well. Think of some of the head cases you could have ended up with! There is one or two that someone either knows or is in their past that they are grateful they aren't "stuck with". Hot or not some people are incompatible with a blissful marriage! So we are lucky as well.....
