    I know how to drive officer!

    I know what a blinker on my car is for!

    Officer, yellow lights mean to slow up and red means to stop, not drive through it unless its been red for more than 5 seconds.

    I'm convinced that cars sold in South Florida do not come standard with turn signals.

    I beat the fire ants.
  • I wish hurricane season lasted longer, and those palmetto bugs are to small. To bad more people don't speak Spanish. And there just aren't enough strip malls, housing developments or lunatic drivers on 95 for my taste.

    Let's make a list!

    "I can't decide which winter coat to wear today."

    I don't know about that. It hits 65 here and the coats and scarves come out!

    My sister and I were on the beach about this time last year and saw a girl wearing UGGS and a bikini. I took a picture; I'm sorry to tell you all it's missing from my phone or I would have shared it.
    Yeah...I saw wool coats and Ugg knock-off boots on just about every female at the mall 2 weeks ago. It was nuts! It shows you who's really from Florida, and who's not--the northerners were sporting jeans and t-shirts. :tongue:

    "Oh no, the weather channel mentioned a tropical storm.... I need candles, flashlights, water, stat!"

    Yep, I'm pretty sure Floridians are the only people who could care less about tropical storms!

    "Oh, a hurricane category 1 or 2 might hit us. I think I should cancel work for Monday."

    ...it's CRAZY how everybody is still planning on working Monday. My boyfriend and I are both likely going to end up working and we're located right on the coast.

    "Let me warm the car up for 20 minutes so I can see out the windows to take you to school" i am from Ohio and have said this to my kids LOL. I love it here and I have to say; I do not flip out by tropical storms, the blue hairs scare the hell out of me with their driving and I hate the lovebugs.

    Believe it or not, I - a lifelong Floridian - have both a basement and a closet by the front door. I live in the sand ridge that runs up the middle of the western / central part of state. I live on a hill.

    Never had a basement before we built this house. Never SAW a basement in Florida before but I have since found out us ground dwellers are out there. Who you say is "we?" Well me and my Yankee husband who knew what a basement and coat closet were.
