Visited FL twice and wanted to leave the minute I got there. Had a friend who said his company sentenced him do 2 years in FL, it felt like 10. People live there on purpose, god knows why. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Cold weather sucks donkey balls unless I'm skiing. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

It's not just the weather in FL that sucks. It's flat and ugly, with tons of traffic and fat and old people. And crime, and homeless, and minorities. You can have it. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

No place is boring, only you yourself bring the boredom. Winter is winter no matter where you are. Short days and it's dark when you get out of work. FL sucks for 100 reasons other than you can't go outdoors 8 months of the year. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 188 Posts: 18633 | How do you even know you haven't died of boredom already? I find it pretty convincing you're already dead of boredom. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

But come Sept, after a good freeze those bugs die off or hibernate, but they are gone until June again. There isn't any native spiders I don't think? No snakes, crocodiles or Scorpions, luv bugs, beetles, ants etc. etc. I went to Florida for Thanksgiving once and I could hardly believe my eyes. There were so many bugs it seemed like the lawn crawled. The cockroaches were incredible. The bugs never go away! Hateful. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

FL is crawling with everything. Crawling with old people, crawling with homeless and illegals, crawling with criminals and drugs. And on top of that, 8 months of the year people run from their air conditioned house to their air conditioned cars and from the car into the air conditioned stores and work places. It's literally hell. Here's an entertaining video with the 10 worst states in the US to live in. I thought FL would make #1 but it's #2, right above Mississippi. I agree with every one one of these, btw. MI would never make a list like this. The weather here is gorgeous 7 months of the year, sunny and low humidity. The winter isn't that bad and it's winter, the days are short everywhere, you're just as restricted on time wherever you live. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Boredom is a sensation I'm not familiar with. I've never been bored, I'm too much of a reader. I've had my nose buried in books since about 4th grade. Readers are often boring, but bored? Never. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Its the weather. Plus in FL you do not have the loony bin that is CA. Another thing is you can make your fortune off the snowbirds and retirees who come for the weather. In 2007 I saw such a sweet business. Casino-style gameroom with a legal card room in back. The game room was some kind of skill-based machine and paid off in gift cards so as to not be a real casino. The card room worked bingo-style. You had to split the vig with some local nonprofit who helped run the games. So you get fortune seekers as well. One thing about FL is people really put the miles on their cars since everything seems far apart. It is a great place to find used cars cheap. The President is a fink. |
