Which FL? The natives who been there a couple of generations or the ones who came down from NY in the the last 30 years.?

Note that my ex-MIL lives in Pembroke Pines. Grandmother to my children I suppose. Otherwise one hopes the gator scores.

Ohh everyone forget that. I did not say it. She is a sweet old lady and the kids would kill me if they find out.

LOL... just like I wish the ex would drop dead and do the world a favor. LOL A lot of people would probably rejoice in that event. I know I would throw a party!

Heyyyy, I used to spend summers in Jackson, OH, with my grandma. I'm originally from Clarksburg, WV.

Everyone in Las Vegas gets asked the same question...where are you from originally? I actually know lots of natives tho.

I came down from Connecticut in 1995, left FL in 2001, came back to FL in mid 2006! So Im an FL transplant, where do I fit in with what you said. Too smart, too dumb or the same?

Same applies to Orlando as well, people always ask me where Im from. I dont know too many natives. Most people I know are from NY, NJ, Puerto Rico, Colombia or the Dominican Republic. I have a few native friends though
