the tone of the thread struck me as some one who is fed up with the relentless heat and as a result is somewhat irritable,knowing that you then post a thread saying the heat is no problem for you and what are you complaining about? is obviously just rubbing salt in the OP's wound so to speak,
you indeed have every right to post your opinion and any one else has their right to comment on your pompous reply.

Fair Enough.

Sunsets over the gulf, great seafood restaurants, picking up seashells--those are a few of the other things we could be enjoying in FLA along with cooler weather.

LOL!!!! For a few weeks/months of warm weather in Nebraska, I would take that any day over 8 or 9 months of it, without a break... Cooler... So does 85 degrees at 8:30 at night with a heat index of 96 sound cool and comfortable to you? That's how it is here at the current time. picking up shells, sunsets, and so called seafood restaurants only sound fun for a week or so, but is this something to do for the rest of your life????

So you work outside 3 hours a week. Try doing it 8+ hours a day, every day for the next 30 years. Right now (7:10 Am), it's 86 degrees, 75% humidity and a heat index of 97. Are you saying that isn't uncomfortable?
I find that a huge percentage of those who don't understand one's aversion to oppressive heat and claim to thrive in it are; A) Being disingenuous B) Actually hate the heat as much as I do, but tell themselves they like it C) Consider working outside as puttering around in their yard for a half hour D) Have a vested interest in spreading the word that Florida is paradise and won't tolerate any dissent E) Have serious health problems.
The last one I can understand. So please give those of us who don't appreciate temperatures in the 80s and 90s for 2/3 of the year a break. We will be moving on soon and you can have it all to yourself.

Your post would have been more relevant in a topic called "why i love Florida summers.

Perhaps you didn't consider F) Is not bothered by the heat. I may not have worked outside all day for my entire work life, but mowing my church lawn is only one of the things that I have done in the heat before, and one of the easiest at that. I had just got done doing it when I posted that, so I talked about it. I once had to did two 100 ft long 3 ft deep trenches all for the purpose of placing metal root barriers for bamboo, all in the direct sun. I would say that was the hardest and hottest two week of my life. But it was not the heat I remember hating so much, it was the work itself, and I think I can say that for just about everything I do in the heat. Maybe I should find a thread titled "Why I hate working". The main problem I have is your last line. "We will be moving on soon and you can have it all to yourself", because the truth is that is not true. Maybe it is of you, but there will always be people who will be here to annoy me with their complaining. I just thought what better way to fire back than on a thread of complainers rambling on about Florida's heat. After all, that is what City-data is all about.

Two weeks to dig a 200' ditch? What did you use to dig with-a spoon? Again, get back to me when you do work like that everyday for a living.
If, as you say, aren't bothered by Florida's relentless climate, you either; A) Spend less time in it than you are admitting to B) Are nuts.

Why is it that, according to you, someone that likes warm weather doesn't spend a lot of time in it or is nuts?
Is someone that likes cold weather nuts also?
Is anyone that is not living in a climate that is one constant temperature 365 days a year nuts?
If I said you were a wimp because you couldn't deal with a little warm weather without crying like a little girl would that make any sense?
