I've already seen this article posted on FaceBook and another site.

We are being used.
I HATE being used and being subjected to ridicule. EVERYONE does. Why would ANYONE want to do that to anyone else?

WHY? I have wondered that so often.

I think the reason why Floridians seem to be ridiculed so much is that when summer comes, bringing the heat and humidity, it is rare to find someone who is honest enough to say yes, it is hot and humid down here.

We the Northerners get ridiculed too...in the middle of the winters, we get calls and emails from our Floridian friends laughing at us.

So I guess we are even.

Love living here in The Villages.

Yep, same here.


If it weren't for The Villages...I would be a lot further north myself.


Like maybe all the way up in Amelia Island.

Came to Florida on vacation in 1962 with my beautiful bride. We both fell in love with Florida. We only dreamed of actually owning property here. North in the summer and south in The winter. Is this a great country or what!

Oh yeah, Orlando, Florida was ranked the number one U.S. vacation destination place. I wonder why if Florida is the worst State. About that...in the words of that great philosopher Forrest Gump, that’s all I have to say about that.
