The Man Report

Last month I shared my excitement at receiving COSMO magazine once again after many years. If you missed it, here it is.

So, I have received my next issue and we will now have a new monthly feature.....THE MAN REPORT.

Cosmo actually has a section called the MAN MANUAL! This Man Manual features "the man report". This month you can "CHART HIS MOOD": when he visits your family. Yes, if you are too stupid to figure it out, COSMO can help you...they have an actual chart that will tell you what he is thinking while visiting your "RENTS". I think that is Cosmo slang for parents.....

I bet you did not know that you can learn alot of information by how your man "SITS"...yes like in a chair, or on the couch, or on a bar stool. You no longer have to try and analyze why he is "Sittting" the way he is, this quick and handy COSMO guide will take all the mystery out of "the way he sits"..I am thinking if he is sitting and his credit card is out paying for dinner it is all good! If you go back and read last month, having hair on his head is also a plus.

Did you know that 81% of men think that a "HOOKUP" can turn into a relationship....Come on....is this crap for real!!!!!

There is also a section on "what makes a great girlfriend". Does anyone over the age of 16 really care what makes a great girlfriend?

If you are confused about what is the "ultimate dealbreaker" for a man, you can find it here...since I don't want you to suffer like I did...here it is...."don't gossip, never be right, don't be materialistic and you better like their mother".......there is also lots of advice on how to pick the best time to IMPRESS HIM... as well as how to put him in a sexy mood.

SO.....I will gossip with my friends, I am usually right, I am totally materialistic and like it.....and I usually like their mother as long as she is another state.....I could go on but you get it...once again another totally useless issue of COSMO magazine that makes women look like idiots...it actually makes men look kind of stupid too.......

OM Bar~Two Big Years

The OM Bar & Chill Lounge on Flager will celebrate their second anniversary on Saturday. They have a great selection of wines, cigars and unusual beers & microbrews. This year they also added a full liquor bar. Should be a good time!

Weekend

This rain is on its way out and the cold is moving in. At least it is not snow. We are so spoiled here.

Couple of weekend reminders - the NSB CAPS Annual Spaghetti dinner is tommorrow at NSB High School from 12-6pm. Not only will they have spaghetti for 5.00 a plate but entertainment as well. The Coronado Beach Elementary Chorus will perform at 1:30pm. (That was a shameless plug for my daughter's chorus.)

Images Art Festival is tomorrow at Riverside Park and continues thru Sunday.

Chases by the Beach is no longer Chase's, it was purchased and ownership turned over this past week. Have not seen any changes but they are coming I hear.

Clancy's Cantina is getting ready to move from the Publix Plaza over to Flagler Ave. This will be great for the eveing and later hours businesses along Flagler.

Also on the dinner front....word is the old Shell's restaurant is going to be turned into some sort of wing restaurant. Not a Hooters but similar. Not sure how true that is but a local realtor told me that one. So we shall see.

Stay tuned and enjoy the weekend!

Weekend Events

It can't really be Wednesday already? Things are starting to pick up around town. This weekend is the Images, Festival of the Arts in Riverside Park. This is the 33rd year for the festival, featuring local artists, food and entertainment.

Saturday at 11:30 is the Grand Opening of the Dolphin View Restaurant, the old Sea Harvest. I had lunch there a couple weeks ago. Cannot recommend it yet but I will go back and give it another shot. I am sure they needed some time to get the bugs out.

Here is one I need to investigate further - Oak Hill Seafood Co-Op. This is being held this weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10-5. Local fresh seafood as avalable. It is located at 700 N US highway 1 in Oak Hill(Cook's Plaza). There is a contact number 386-345-0023 and Jimmy is the contact person. If anyone has any further info on that one please email me or leave a comment.

Speaking of Seafood, The Islander Beach Cafe now has Oyster Hour, Monday thru Friday from 5pm-6pm. Oysters are 39 cents a piece. They also have shrimp, clams and crab. Gotta check that one out, I can eat some oysters.

Have a great rest of the week!
