We don't have SMOG!

I neglected to point out that we do have one thing in common... We both need to know some spanish!!!

I thought thiswas going to be a thread about Florida mineral deposits

^coquina?

You get used to the heat and humidity. I take all necessary steps to keep palmetto bugs out of my house.

I don't worry about the bugs getting in--but when the possums and raccoons break the social contract, I draw the line at that.

Looks like it will be nice in FL when i get there!

#11 If it makes you feel better, when Mrs. Pacman and I were staying in this cabana at a small "resort" (stretching the word immensely) in CR about a week ago, we found two of the biggest, scariest spiders I've ever seen. First was on the floor, and never stood a chance against my size 14 shoe. The second was about 6 feet up on the bathroom wall. When I went to smash it, it jumped right off the wall at me.

Fortunately, I was already in the bathroom, about to take a shower, and I had an extra pair of boxers to replace the ones I had just filled with ****.

#13 Roaches bite? Glad I didn't know that when I woke up and found a ginormous one on my stomach when staying in Oahu years ago. I was just grossed out.

IUROX, Lord willing and if all works out....I'm coming home later this year. I was born & raised in Ft. Lauderdale! (Sunrise)

It’s hard not to like FL. I spent a year in Daytona Beach as a college student. My dorm was a motel with a pool. The beach was close, and in ’69 you could drive all over it. With the speedway, spring break and great weather most of the year, heaven.

Charlie, OK to add copper heads and bear to your inventory? I haven’t personally seen them, but they gotta be there.

Peanut,

I work in Plantation, FL... Anybody I need to say 'hi' to for you? ;o))

You all suck!

They also have the hard to find "Snipe" along with the copperheads and bears...

Okay, I have to rub it in a little more... I didn't get to ride my motorcycle to work about 5 times last year (0 times this year so far) and it was because of rain early in the morning. I drive my truck on the weekends to keep it working...not to keep from freezing or getting out of the ditch because of the snow. Sorry, but I grew up in the north so I know your pain... ;o))

I did manage to accidentally step on a large copperhead last year but, fortunately for me, it was more interested in getting lost in the bushes than putting any undesirable marks in my leg.

#30...You forgot...

Bluehairs

Camera strapped, black sock sandle wearing tourist

Spring Breakers

Bikini Bottoms

Tiger Woods

Rebel Flag Confederates

and my personal favorite thing to hate about Florida...

Love Bugs

When I lived there(Tampa) about 62 to 69 found out the hard way not to leave the tea out over night uncovered, palmetto bug are disgusting and not good to eat,yech, spat that thing out quick.

HA! Phoenix will be 77-79 all week and no humidity!! I love winter in AZ. It makes up for the summers.
