Subject: Map of Florida
Finally, a true map of Florida that explains this weird, but wonderful state. Those of you who live in Florida will recognize it, and those who don’t have been warned !!!


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

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

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

* Every other house in your neighborhood had blue roofs in 2004-2005

* “Down South� means Key West

* You know that anything under a Category 3 just isn't worth waking up for.

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

* Your winter coat is made of denim.

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

* Anything under 70 degrees is chilly.

* You've driven through Yeehaw Junction.

* You know that no other grocery store can compare to Publix.

* You recognize Miami-Dade as ' Northern Cuba '

* You dread love bug season.

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

* 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 know what a snowbird is and when they'll leave.

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

* You have a drawer full of bathing suits, and one sweatshirt.

* You get annoyed at the tourists who feed seagulls.

* A mountain is any hill 100 feet above sea level.

* You've hosted a hurricane party.

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

* You understand why it's better to have a friend with a boat, than have a boat yourself.

* You were 25 when you first met someone who couldn't swim.

* A good parking place has nothing to do with distance from the store, but everything to do with shade.
 
Its almost 20 years ago that I have been in Florida.A kind of honeymoon.
We were married then for two years then.
I recognized the map and places i have been.
Orlando , of course , GFK space center , Daytona beach .. speedway was closest , shame .... St Petersburg , Miami which I hate , and Key West of course.
HOT and the HUMIDITHY was a pain but overall it was quite an experience.
Boats that were storage in huge outdoors shelves.
 
It was just hot and humid? You must have been there in January :eek:mg
 
I'm pretty sure it was Hades in Sept of 91. It doesn't cool down to "hot" till Jan :lol
 
Before I read the post I thought "Oh great, now I've gotta get pissed at Kat because she is making fun of Floridians". After reading it I thought " Nope, that's really us." I was glad to see I was correctly located in the "Red" zone. :vic
 
Yup...fairly accurate! Love Bug season is nasty!

Midlife from "Old Rich People" county.

yep, except for my area, publix was a 50/50 split with winn-dixie & a 6 ft gator was just a baby. :craz

6 ft was a little too big to eat and not so big to be concerned with! Man I am hungry all of a sudden.
 
My father side is from the yellow zone. And yes, I'd say that is an accurate depiction of the area and our family :coo
 
I forgot all about the "Love Bugs". :ep I was stationed in South Florida in the 70's. Flat, damn flat. People here in Cali will whine about a little humidly, they have never been in "real" humid weather. :beat
