Most pople who move to Florida are "seniors"and therefore, their brain cells
only function, when trying to find "Early Birds" or other elderly specials! It truly is God's waiting room! haha "Severian" wrote in message m... Lets see. The Beaches, the weather, the history. If I compare it to Missouri, where I live now, it is MUCH better. We have earthquakes, tornadoes and EVERY year also, not every few years... Plus, the state government sucks, it is miserable in the summer and winter.. "Peter L" wrote in message ... puzzled wrote in message ... A massive hurricane seems to hit Florida every few years. I really don't understand why people continue to live there. Don't they get tired of having to evacuate every summer, and having their houses destroyed? Someone explain this to me. Maybe they should live in tornado alley, or earthquake country. Maybe Buffalo. |

Year round sports (tennis, softball, volleyball, football etc..). 5. It's so much fun to make fun of tourists. 5. You can do a "reason 5" twice and no one is smart enough to catch it. 6. Two quality football teams in the NFL (Jags and Bucs). 7. Two quality college football teams (Florida and Florida State). Also, probably the best college football fans of any state. 8. Poontang. 9. Most lawns and landscapes are immaculately maintained. 10. Dullfins fans may all leave the state at once forming utopia!!! |
