There's so much wrong with this 16 yr old with a gun 16 yr old at a nightclub No one leaves sober... so hop in your car a drive home drunk and possibly kill someone that way. 1 1 Quote

Dang. It's like business as usual in America. Sad. We had a kid shoot a security officer in the head 20mins from me at a football game this year. I try and tell my kids not to live in fear, and I truly mean it, but it's just so hard to live my my own words 1 Quote

I've watched Florida go from a nice place to live to a hellscape of rejects from other states and other countries in the span of my lifetime....its gotten especially bad over the last 20 years. Add to that the fact that Global Warming has turned the state into a Hurricane magnet over the last 8 years, I don't know why anyone would want to move down here at this point. We used to have a weather man down here when I was a kid who used to say on the air jokingly: "Welcome to Florida, now go back home!" I wish more people would have listened to him!😀 Edited April 29 by Special K Quote

You can keep making things up so us northerners don’t retire down there. But we’re not listening 4 1 Quote

But I was in the panhandle area 3 of those times (military TDYs) and Disney World once. Never during hurricane season. Quote

Orlando 3x, Ft Lauderdale 2x, St Pete, Miami, up and down the coast from Daytona to Miami a few times. We’re already booked for a few days in Destin in sept/oct. been systematically checking out where we might want to retire. I’ve heard great things about the panhandle. And someone that loves the waters of the Caribbean, that might be the best we’re going to find that’s reasonably priced, and with the right amenities. 56 minutes ago, Chicken Boo said: As someone who planned to retire in The Keys, pythons in Key Largo and rising sea level have my attention.

I live in NY. I deal with the biggest idiots on the planet every day. Can’t scare me with idiots in Florida. after all, if I’m on the beach and in the water I don’t care. 2 1 1 1 Quote
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted April 29 Posted April 29 Love visiting FL; have been to Orlando and/or PCB with the kids more times than I care to admit (who needs a 401(k) whilst making magical memories instead 🤔, amirite?!) but the bug sizes are a tad intimidating for a native northerner like me, even having lived in GA the last 20 years… 1 1 Quote
