What can I say I'm a country girl...

Country Boy - Country Girl, whatever You get the drift here, right? Shovel snow or not, you're bailing from the land of sun and snowbunnies. That's what I was getting to. I still can't figure out why. But then, I'm an old fart who would live in FLAUSA if I were able (the rest of my family lives in Tampa area.)

I see why you like it here …yes it does help when your family is here I have nooo family here as a matter of fact they tried to talk me out coming here….snowbunnies???...If you’re referring to bikini babes…LOL …I usually work in the condominiums during the summer and some of these people have NO clue that they should NOT be wearing them things…LOL

but that is the extent of it. My grandfather lived in Kissimmee/Orlando area BEFORE Disney. I still have fond memories of coming to Florida and fishing when I was a kid. I did manage to go back as an adult and was stunned at the difference, but then, I am stunned at the difference between people then and now. It's not just where you are living, it's also people.

5 years ago i was in New Zealand and was watching crime stoppers!

The lead top story was about a cow napping! Ok seriously it was 6 cows but the police looked dead serious

I kid you not!

Joann, You just need to get out of the city in Florida and hit the Florida countryside. I live near Brooksville, on 15 acres of land, a mile off of a main road...After moving here 15 years ago, I would never move back to the city!
I also hate being cold, so I'd never survive in the cold North, to me the snow country is a nice place to visit, but I'd never live there...

Hi Laura,

My husband and I just purchased 5 acres in southern Colorado not ski resort country but closer to my old home… I can’t wait to get out of here…!!! yes its much better in the country then the city that I agree…I’ve been trying to ignore the news but it’s a little hard when you have to go to work or send your kids out to school hearing about the latest attempt at someone trying to pick-up kids at the bus stop or places of work being robbed….a convenience store next to the building where I worked this last fall was robbed a few hours after I left from work the criminals ran across my parking area an attempted to get into a fellow co workers car for an escape…I work evenings and nights so it’s a little hard not to think about the serial killer running loose…
