Hi from Florida, US

Post by joelbct » Sat Apr 24, 2010 2:07 am

Hey,

I am 26, from new york city area, now living in the gulf coast of Florida.

It's very nice down here, but there is a frightening level of fundamentalist Christianity among the year-round locals. It scares me...

Welcome to Ratz, Joel. Florida is not famed for its cheese - but times are hard - so any dairy tribute you can provide will suffice. :biggrin:

Hi, Joel, and welcome! What possessed you to move to Fla. in the first place? Yes, there are lots of nice aspects about it, but the further you get from the beaches...

Anyway, :cheers:

Hi and welcome. :tup:

And if you happen to go by the Venice Beach PD, could you see if my picture is still hanging up there?
