Go on Cafe Press. You will see. "Where America Goes to Die". "Newlyweds and Nearly Deads". Many more on this theme from people around the country.

"Nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there" was the most common statement on the thread I started in the the General Forum.

"most common statement on the thread I started"??

I'm enjoying life here too much to follow that train of thought. I'm really sorry you're so unhappy...

I've heard people say it's boring down here. I don't think people up north are aware of the crime problems in the state as we are.

Actually, where I am does seem like paradise. I have no agenda that requires any jealousy. I simply love it here. My neighbors love it, too. I'm focused on enjoying life and if I can help someone do the same, then all the better.
As I said, I'm sorry you're so unhappy. I guess if I were brought here against my will and forced to stay (?) I'd be able to understand.

Isn't this the truth!!! I never knew I'd grow to love Florida so much.

Biggest misconception about Florida is that it's all about the 'Mouse'. Screw the mouse. Florida is real, we have real life problems and real live pleasures. It's not vacation but close to it.

I've seen you comment on more than one occasion that Florida is "a joke" up North.

I've held my tongue because I do not want to offend other, more positive New Yorkers on this forum but..... you DO realize that New Yawk (especially) Lawn Guyland is kind of a big joke around here as well, right? I have friends who deal with customers, patients, and clients all day. When recounting "funny or absurd stories of the day," if anyone says, "Picture, typical New York..." we all know EXACTLY what kind of person everyone is talking about!


By the way, I bet if it could be quantified, most people buying those shirts would be FROM FLORIDA. It's fun to make fun of your own state. I can't imagine being so petty as to wear a shirt that says, "Idaho sucks" or something though, if I was not from Idaho!

Mouse, no. Beach and weather, yes. Vacation? Not even my idea of a vacation, let alone real life.
