Talking You Know Your In Florida When

Theres a gas station on every corner.

You get pulled over every 5 minutes.

When you do not need to bother with an umbrella caues the rain will be over in 5 minutes.

Your neighbor comes over for a cup of sugar and stays a week.

You just get done cutting the grass in your backyard and the front has to be cut again.

Love bugs are stuck to the hood of your car and it takes a sandblast to get them off.

Have a great day in FL

This is a great thread! And I'm just a beginner, but may I add:

When going to work, means getting some coffee grabbing your laptop and heading out to the lania in your shorts, tee-shirt, and flip-flops.

You regard the strawberry as a seasonal winter fruit.

You've tried to pass along several bags of grapefruit from the tree in your backyard to people at work, church, random people on the street, etc.

You have named the lizards the live in your garage and under your house, and appreciate their ability to keep the cockroach population somewhat in check.

You know someone who knows someone who talked to Jim Cantore when he was out at the pier covering that tropical storm last year.

Your local NPR station gives out surfing reports along with their weather updates.

You have almost gotten in a fistfight at Home Depot over the last power drill or reasonably priced sheets of plywood as a major hurricane takes aim at your area.

Instead of going to a playground or park, you take your kids to Disney World on a bi-weekly basis.
