Meintraining 104 Posted April 3, 2014 I got my band done in FL. Surgeon was based out of Zephyrhills. I'm sure it's the same place. 1 kll724 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O-Town Body Rock 148 Posted May 2, 2014 Born and raised Floridian right here!! I LOVE Florida and if I ever have to leave, it WILL NOT be anywhere cold. I do not know how to live in the cold. When it gets cold down here in Orlando, (which is around 60-65 degrees to me), i get totally confused on what clothes to wear. My usual cold outfit is tights, a hoodie sweater with a tank top and flip flops. 1 gmanbat reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sharpie 3,306 Posted May 17, 2014 I live in McAlpin, Fl. Near Lake City (North Fla) 45 minutes North of Gainesville (Go Gators). I was raised in Orlando and have lived in Colorado for a short time. too cold for me. It snowed non stop from Sept. til May . I hate cold weather. My husband is originally from Chicago, he tried to get me to move there years ago, I said NOT, now he would never live in Chicago again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

terry1118 1,274 Posted May 18, 2014 I live in RI, the state that recently received the dubious honor of being the most corrupt state in the country. My property taxes are $7000 per year and I don't live in a luxury home. I'm a bank teller and my hubby is a mechanic, the taxes are killing us! We are seriously considering moving south where the cost of living is much, much lower. Bonus - milder winters and gun-friendly. We're thinking the Carolinas or maybe Georgia. I will miss all the people I've gotten to know over the last 50 years but I'm friendly - I'll get to know more people wherever we end up. :-) 2 gmanbat and kimk1999 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kll724 3,055 Posted May 18, 2014 And Mother Nature and God have given us the most marvelous weekend in a long time! Dry air and warm temperatures. Almost too cool for the pool for this transplant Floridian. 3 gmanbat, kimk1999 and piercedqt78 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kll724 3,055 Posted June 5, 2014 Hi Ya'll, haven't been to this section in a while. Well, gmanbat, how do you like us now? I have had to do my one hour outside walk, earlier and earlier. But still loving the weather! If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen! 1 gmanbat reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sharpie 3,306 Posted June 5, 2014 I am a Florida girl too. I know some people think it's too hot but I'll take it over snow, ice, sleet and rain anytime. 2 gmanbat and piercedqt78 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimk1999 450 Posted June 5, 2014 We have had family in town this week and have really enjoyed eating on the patio every night. I wish the temp would stay this way through the summer. It's been beautiful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
