What sane person moves to Florida?

[Chew Toy McCoy]

That pretty much describes everywhere from Ohio south.

The infrastructure bill will fix all that! Although I have no doubt every road crew will have a caravan of Trump supporters armed with road-destroying jackhammers right behind them. They don't want people driving on some damn socialist road.

The roads aren't too bad where I am at in the Bay Area but there's a section of freeway by Oakland that's like driving on a museum of 3 decades of shotty patch jobs and conflicting layers of lane paint. It would probably be in better shape if the military carpet-bombed it.

I visited my mother in Daytona Beach way back when and loved it, the water temp in the ocean was in the 80s in October, you can drive on the beach and there's a Cracker Barrel every 10 miles, who wouldn't love that? I won't let political views impact that at all, they all have their pockets on both sides.

I removed politics from my original list which still leaves a lot to not love.


The humidity. The hurricanes. The politics. The stupid. The conmen. The low IQ criminals. Exotic pet dumping ground that quickly becomes prolific invasive species. Architecturally it’s gaudy fused with tacky. At any given time half the population is on whatever hot new brain frying narcotic that is on the market. It's like the country's largest trailer park and that might literally be true per capita.

Please show where I said people were moving from CA to FL. I never said that. Ever. I said people would move to FL based on a lack of mandates, but I NEVER said from where. You inferred incorrectly I meant CA.

You are the one who specifically compared CA to FL, then I guess what... you decided you’re dropping the comparison without notice, and I was supposed to read your mind on that? Just like I was supposed to read your mind on the infection rate that you were taking about one specific WEEK during a 2-year pandemic.

It seems to me that you’re being disingenuous, but if you want to play games... Give me evidence of somebody moving to Florida from ANYWHERE specifically to avoid a mask mandate.

I told @Eric via PM that I would remove that from my post and discontinue that topic in this thread. So not ignoring you, just doing what I told him I would do. Sorry.

You can sometimes tell there's still a bit of animosity left over from the PRSI days lurking around.

My time in Pensacola in the late 90s was when I saw many religious people with signs, very routine down there I learned. That would be a very odd sight in the northeast.

There were a shocking amount of check cashing places and strip clubs. Incredible beaches. Also, I tried boiled peanuts for the first and last time. Those were a huge disappointment.

Maybe. But the main one who attacked any and every post I made is not here. At least not by their PRSI name.

And in all fairness, get @SuperMatt and myself in a non-political thread and there is never an issue. At least it seems that way to me.

OK then - feel free to post evidence of people moving to Florida specifically to avoid a mask mandate at your earliest convenience.

Sorry, but not sure what discontinue that topic means to you, but ...................

So I won't be addressing it no matter how many times or ways you ask. Sorry. So if you must post that I refused to answer, then feel free to do so.

To be fair I said "sane person". If anybody is going to move to a different state to avoid mask mandates I would not consider that person sane. But if somebody were to move to a different state specifically because of a difference of opinion over Covid then that new home state would most likely be Florida. I don't think Texas is insane enough to match their level of rage move.

Things have not changed. (Only my husband enjoys boiled peanuts.)

Boiled peanuts are alright. I still eat them every once in awhile.

 

[Renzatic]

Dislike!

I saw your dislike, Alli, and you are WRONG! Boiled peanuts are moderately okay!

I have been known to buy raw peanuts, boil and eat them.

I prefer them roasted and salted, but sometimes I'll find myself staring some down in some backwoods gas station, and think "hey, why not?"

 

[Chew Toy McCoy]

Only in Florida would boiling peanuts be considered some kind of culinary artform.

If this is a reference to me, if you post stupid, I'm going to call you out, and I have.

My mother, my daughter, my uncle and aunt, my brother and sister-in-law, and both nephews live there. It’s a nice place to visit.

My Dad lives there. There are some cool places in Florida and I’m not talking about Disney Land. The usual reason to move to Florida was to get away from the weather in the North East. I wanted a change from Maryland and spent my first 3 semesters in college at the University of Miami, Coral Gables, but decided hot climates were not for me, and finished school in upstate, New York at Syracuse University which suited me much better. My father moved there from Maryland to follow his flying buddies to a place where winter was negligible.

The politics SUCK, as they do across the South and virtually outside most urban areas, for which I am stating the obvious. I thought I knew this country, before all the selfish, racist, right wing, evangelical assholes decided to be brave enough to crawl out from under their rocks.

Honestly have no idea if it is you. Your posts seem different than the person to who I am referring.
