I never realized that, I thought I was the only one that did that.

That was such a true and funny list

It is totally acceptable to be living in Florida but not root for The Dolphins, The Marlins, The Rays, The Heat or The Panthers but not rooting for the Bucs is an arrest-able offense.

You forgot the Magic, the Gators, the Canes, and the Noles (it's cool to not root for the Noles tho

You know how to spell Okeechobee.
There is an Okeechobee Blvd , Street, Avenue, Town, Lake and County.

I laughed hard at this one, I live on the north shore of the lake, in the City and County

There's always a Walgreens across the street from a CVS on almost every corner - with more being built every day.

I thought I had hallucinated this one to be honest ^_^

The same neighbor who smiles at you every day will be the first one to rat you out if you are violating water restrictions.

And noise complaints!

...you know that no other grocery store can compare to Publix.

What is this infatuation with that expensive place?! Wal-mart kthnx.

...you can pronounce Okeechobee, Kissimmee , Ichnatucknee and Withlacoochee

You forgot Apalachicola, Wewahitchka, Wacahoota, Panacea and Sopchoppy :P

This was well worth a laugh, even if it is so sad because its almost all 100% accurate.

I wonder if people who aren't from Florida read something like this and then don't get most of it. I've never lived anywhere else and don't have any idea how they do it "up north". Is it really that different here?

I'm one of those that was born and raised here, so this one "You weren't born here. If you were, you're angry that everyone else moved here." is soooo true for me. It's too crowded here....GET OUT

Every time someone who hasn't lived their whole life here complains to me about Florida drivers..I say "Then quit sending your grandparents down here!"

Well, I can't say I've ever had to deal with alligators (I live North around Jacksonville) but I have had to share space with Eastern Diamondback rattlesnakes (big'uns), water moccasins, cottonmouths, black widow spiders, brown recluse spiders, king snakes, banana spiders, palmetto bugs big enough to require leash laws, love bugs, Florida "All Purpose Bug" (locust), and a host of other critters. It's an eye opener when you have to step over a couple of scorpions to get to the shower. And I once woke up to seeing a 4 foot black snake sitting on my window sill waiting for the tree frog that was hanging onto the top of the sill for dear life to get tired. Yup, life in Florida is never boring.

around here it s I10, Hwy90, Hwy 98. It was even more personal Like a close friend Freddy not Fredrick. Mullet is for dinner, not just hair, not bait.

There's also an Okeechobee ROAD in Fort Pierce '

Also, not only have I worn flip flops and used the a/c on Christmas, I went to the beach on Christmas Eve last year in shorts and sandals... and went swimming!

Ah, Florida...
