I can relate.



Socks are only for bowling.

You never use an umbrella because you know 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.

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

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 and Jeanne.

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

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

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 have a bumper sticker: 'This car climbed Mount Dora ', and you know where and what Mt Dora is.

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

You've hosted a hurricane party.

You can pronounce Okeechobee and Kissimmee ....

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

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

You recognize Miami-Dade as ' Northern Cuba . '

The only boat I've ever had was.. my 1967 Chrysler.. my first car! Everybody called it a boat!

YLisa - All the items on the list that pertain to the warm Florida winters... I think a lot of people would disagree with you after the freezing weather they had recently...

Lisa, I'm going to copy and paste and send this to all my FL friends! It's so true.

DH has a bumper sticker which he is NOT allowed to use that says, "If it's snowbird season, why can't we shoot them???"
