"I wish I was strong like you...I probably have 20 years worth of old calendars stored in my office...Which are probably the least problematic items, that I have been hoarding!"
"What a shame/sham that Swaim was able to buy land submerged under a lagoon. Who sold it to him? Did he see an ad on TV? Waterfront ICW Properties in Delray Beach, could find, I'm sure, better property on which to build their dirty deed...Hey, what…"
"Dog friendly? Most of our beaches are not even people friendly! Few and expensive parking areas and lack of bathroom facilities do not make our beaches accessible to large crowds. The beach, between Gulfstream & Briny, used to be VERY popular when…"
"Sadly, the majority of residents in the town of Briny Breezes are akin to the people of Chelm. Although few, if any, hail from Eastern Europe, and the second sack must have gotten caught on a tall mast, oy!
"One popular humorous tradition from…"
" Chris Yannuzzi is a man of his word and an all-around nice guy. If Boynton can afford to save us a few bucks, why not? With the upcoming presidential elections, we prove that we can withstand ANYTHING for 4-years!"
"The commioner gets caught with a stolen credit card and the police chief gets fired...Oh, excuse me, forced to resign? Something smells fishy in this small seaside town...Sounds more like an episode from The Sopranos, than real life!"
"This is extremely disheartening news. Chief Yannuzzi is a tremendous asset to the Ocean Ridge Police department and a kind and warm human being. As a resident of Briny Breezes, I can say that the Ocean Ridge Police do a fabulous job of keeping our…"
We were sitting on the beach when 3 baby turtles emerged from their nest. Two of them headed straight for the ocean. The smallest one was making its way to the shore. Knowing that animals & pets are restricted from the Briny Clubhouse, I gave this…
"Oh, I'm VERY sure she is sorry that she got caught! You're right about the soldiers, John. However, almost any story would serve as a better example than The Life Long Hack...It's difficult for me to even type her name!"
As an owner in Briny Breezes, I recently received a "letter" from the office. In this communication I was asked to please be a "good neighbor" and not bring my dog (enclosed in his stroller) near the clubhouse porch.
The incident occurred on Independence Day (July 4th). We had guests and wanted to enjoy the fireworks with them. Unable to find seats on the porch, those chairs not taken onto the beach were occupied, we sat on the big rock next to the porch and our pooch lounged comfortably in his stroller...Yes, I must admit, he was topless!
Had the holiday not involved noisy fireworks, we might have left Madison at home, alone. However, not wanting him to be scared, we took him along. At no time did he get out of his stroller or interact with any of our "Good Briny Neighbors".
Now, back to my question: How does one define a good neighbor? Is that the neighbor who is considerate and minds their own business without annoying others or the one who must "tattletale" everything they see? For me, the best neighbor smiles from across the fence and does not hop onto my property without an invite. This world would be a much happier place if everyone would mind their own business and intervene only when someone is truly in trouble and requires assistance!
Let's all put on our big girl panties and start acting like adults. The "Briny Criers" made so many unnecessary & ridiculous calls to the police that they now have a special number, which they must call, to screen the importance (or actuality) of a supposed emergency. I try my damndest to keep out of the way from most of the residents, by occupying my Briny home off-season, only. I would very much appreciate the same consideration from others...Please, do not tread on me, MYOB!
PS- Out of consideration for others, I feel that smoking should be banned on the clubhouse porch. Also, the alcoholic beverage consumption, many times, gets way out of control. Smoking, especially when mixed with heavy drinking, can do more damage to a wooden structure than a pooch in a stroller. Do I get the office to write letters to the offenders? No, I go home and MMOB!
