[FW: You knoow you live in Florida when:
Was too funny to pass up - recieved from DS in Miami:
YOU KNOW YOU LIVE IN FLORIDA WHEN: You have FEMA's number on your speed dialer. You have more than 300 C and D batteries in your kitchen drawer. Your pantry contains more than 20 cans of Spaghetti Os. You are thinking of repainting your house to match the plywood covering your windows. Your SSN isn't a secret, it's written in Sharpie on your arms. You are on a first-name basis with the cashier at Home Depot. You are delighted to pay $4 for a gallon of regular unleaded. The road leading to your house has been declared a No-Wake Zone. You decide that your patio furniture looks better on the bottom of the pool. You own more than three large coolers. You can wish that other people get hit by a hurricane and not feel the least bit guilty about it. Three months ago you couldn't hang a shower curtain; today you can assemble a portable generator by candlelight. You catch a 13-pound Red fish. In your driveway. You have had tuna fish more than 5 days in a row. You can rattle off the names of three or more meteorologists who work at the Weather channel. Someone comes to your door to tell you they found your roof. Ice is a valid topic of conversation. You've been laughed at over the phone by a roofer, fence builder or a tree worker. A battery powered TV is considered a home entertainment center. You don't worry about relatives wanting to visit during the summer. Your child's first words are "hunker down" and you didn't go to Georgia! Having a tree in your living room does not necessarily mean it's Christmas. Toilet Paper is elevated to king of the realm at the shelters. At cocktail parties, women are attracted to the guy with the biggest chainsaw. |

But now that you're priced out because you sold your nice solid brick NYC tudor (with full basement) , that appreciated some 23% each year, you can never come back... that $60,000 FL bungalo (what's a basement) you spent your last dime on five years ago is now worth a whopping $65,000... IF you can sell it, because there are millions for sale on that piece of fercocktah reclaimed swamp just like it... you'd gladly trade the alligators that a month after you arrived ate your dog and the unbearably hot n' humid nine month long summers for Broadway shows and NY snows, especially to get away from all those redneck hillybilly trailer-trash bible thumpers... you'd trade in a NY second. But alas, you're screwed. Sheldon |

But alas, you're screwed. Florida is one place that I wouldn't mind seeing being hit with a huge deluge and then just sink into the sea...it's a place that serves absolutely NO useful purpose. Years ago it had some interesting places, now it's just one giant freak show (you can say the same about TX and CA too...). Too many people, too much crime and corruption, too many Krazy Kubans, it's truly Third World down there...IOW a BIG MESS. Every single person I've known who has moved down to Florida (these were younger folks) eventually has moved back up north here to Chicawgo. They eventually couldn't STAND the place...pretty much the same for Kalifornia too. And no one in their right mind would ever even consider moving to Tejas... Heck, years ago my folks even considered retiring down there for the winter months. Tried it once, no go. They preferred the frozen plains of Illannoy over Florida in winter... -- Best Greg > > Sheldon |

It is terrible down here on the gulf coast. I think that you should all move north, or west or any place away from here. Leave us here all by ourselves. Maybe we could get back to a slower pace of life.Fewer New Yorker, driving like nuts. and you know we could not get along without you all telling us how you did it where you used to be. As you drive past, on your way out of town. Just wave at poor old Pan, sitting on the porch drinking a mint julep. Pan Ohco |

Lived on the Gulf Coast all my 66 years except the times I was in the military or working in the Middle East. Wouldn't trade the Middle Coast for the Left or Right Coasts. You gotta grow up here to appreciate the heat, humidity, hurricanes, lots of rain, gators and snakes, and good people (mostly), that's excepting N'awlins of course, they could fill it in and build a new port on the landfill and it wouldn't bother me.
