I'm trying to get an "inside look" of Florida from people that live there and how people like where they live.

Anything you want to say is appreciated greatly!

Read the thread right above this one "Does Florida really suck" and you will see what I mean.

I like Florida a lot, but I do not live there, I'm in the process of moving there now. However, I will be going with a job and my family lives there. My situation is a little different. Most people who move to Florida are moving away from everything they know. My family has been there now for 5 years and they have assured me they would rather be raked over hot gravel than to move back to NYC - so, off to the Miami area i go, a Tropical NY of sorts - seems people are just as rude if not ruder in Miami than in NY and everyone drives horrible - I figure I should fit right in LOL. Please know that I'm being humorous. These are the typse of things people will tell you. You will have be savvy and sift through the mudd to find something that lies right in the middle. Good luck!

One good thing I like about Florida is that you can make friends with people like Staci (berry), gypsychic, 2goldens, chelsa...and enjoy watching them go swimming at the beach rather than watching them bundled up running from the snow and sleet!!!!

Marlin off of Destin last summer, I hate our Governor , we need a high speed Rail System, I ran over a snake last summer, youve got a termite problem, Ive got fire ant problem, im saving money going solar heat , I wish it would rain more cause my lawn is turning brown, I wish it would stop raining, rain is fun to play in, the rain is leaking thru my roof, I grew up in Sarasota, Jacksonville is ok, im out of work, I cant find work, Ive retired from work , Im sick of work, we all need work, theres nothing like Talapia , I hate oysters cause they make me gag, so you think youre going to make as much as you did in NYC ? , Im going to Cape Canaveral tomorrow, so you want to come along eh ? , the Snowbirds are nice folks, I wish the Snowbirds would go to Arizona instead ., Id rather live in Texas, Id rather live in South Carolina, its good to be back in Florida, Sannibal Island was nice, the white-ist sand is in the Panhandle, Hurricanes have destroyed my house 3 times, Id like to get a Hurricane under my belt , fumagate your house of carpenter ants, I get these Geico Lizards, and... welcome to Florida .
