Most of the discussion I've heard about this new home is concern over its height. What color do you think they should paint it?

Oops - the meeting will be held at the Omni Amelia Island Plantation, in The Egret Room at Racquet Park, located at 6800 First Coast Highway. Thanks for letting me know that I forgot to mention the location. LOL (Apologies Donna, if you received this more than once.)

Re: 17th Annual Desserts of Amelia

Ameliaprivateeye — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 08:43:41 -0000

Imagine this... Desserts of Amelia is a visually stimulating room full of tasty sweets for you to sample as prepared by some of the best pastry chefs in the region. These Confectioners set out platters full of these culinary delights that wouldn't last ten minutes in a room full of children - let alone trying to settle the little ones down after consuming all of that sugar! LOL :)

Go ahead and enjoy that 32 oz soda in Washington while you can, because in New York City you won't get anything bigger than 16 ounces at the movie theater snack counter after March 12, 2013.

Re: Event Calendar

Ameliaprivateeye — Sat, 21 Jul 2012 11:26:20 -0000

Hi Sandra,
Events that are one day events are perfect for the calendar, and of course multiple day festivals, even if there is a fee or admission price. If the event/class is multiple days a press release is encouraged, and we publish those for free, too. (Sometimes we will put them in the calendar AND publish the press release information.) If you have any other questions about SearchAmelia, you can email me directly at Judie@SearchAmelia.com.

Re: Dave Turner Plumbing Reports Local Scam

Ameliaprivateeye — Thu, 19 Jul 2012 00:16:32 -0000

Please don't be shy to share information if you have been scammed... I just received yet another story about another victim. Call the police, city or county and make a formal report so these souls can be caught! It may not seem like much, $100.00 here, $85 there or $65.00 somewhere else. These thieves are taking advantage of your good nature... of our good natured community! It will not stop unless we all say, "Not in my hometown! Enough is enough!"

Menu service was also available. I ordered from the menu and never had the buffet, though I heard it was good. I was hoping they would do a Bike Night on the island. That would have been fun!

Alex received his check in the mail this week from playing an extra in an episode of Royal Pains, a cable show about concierge medicine in the Hamptons; which recently filmed just over the river in South Georgia!

Re: The Philosophy of Ambiguity and the English Language

Ameliaprivateeye — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 16:15:49 -0000

We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes;
but the plural of ox became oxen not oxes.

One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
yet the plural of moose should never be meese.

You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice;
yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.

If the plural of man is always called men,
why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?

If I spoke of my foot and show you my feet, and I give you a
boot, would a pair be called beet?

If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?

Then one may be that,
And three would be those,
yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
and the plural of cat is cats, not cose.

We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
but though we say mother, we never say methren.

Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
but imagine the feminine, she, shis and shim.
