Some of you will be saying, "What" but now that I live here, I understand this.


You know you're a Floridian if....

Socks are only for bowling.

You never use an umbrella because the rain will be over in five minutes.

A good parking place has nothing to do with distance from the store, but everything to do with shade.

Your winter coat is made of denim.

You can tell the difference between fire ant
bites and mosquito bites.

You're younger than thirty but some of your
friends are over 65.

Anything under 70 degrees is chilly.

You've driven through Yeehaw Junction.



Every other house in your neighborhood
had blue roofs in 2004-2005.
You know that anything under a Category 3
just isn't worth waking up for.

You dread love bug season.

You are on a first name basis with the Hurricane list. They aren't Hurricane Charley or Hurricane Frances. You know them as Andrew, Charley , Frances , Ivan, Jeanne, Wilma...Irene...Cheryl...Rita, Mary..Alison


You think a six-foot alligator is actually pretty average.

'Down South' means Key West

Flip-flops are everyday wear. Shoes are for business meetings and church, but you HAVE worn flip flops to church before.



You get annoyed at the tourists who feed seagulls.

A mountain is any hill 100 feet above sea level.

You know the four seasons really are: Hurricane season, love bug season, tourist season and
summer.



You can pronounce Okeechobee, Kissimmee , Withlacoochee , Thonotosassa and Micanopy.




You've worn shorts and used the A/C on Christmas
and New Years.

You recognize Miami-Dade as ' Northern Cuba '

Our daugther lived in Orlando area, so I relate to these too.

One correction--
You never use an umbrella because the rain will be over in five minutes, because it will be 4pm

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Too funny!

I have flip flops in every color you can imagine...I really only wear closed toe shoes when my pedicure is overdue!

I actually hadn't heard of a couple of those places but I spent many a summer with my grandmother in Micanopy!

:lol: Down south IS Key West...(Georgia and Alabama are up north :lol: )

And, YES, Miami is Northern Cuba
