Hi From Florida

[p-brane]

What part of Florida? I live in Tampa. Welcome to the forums

Hello Cher and Tammy, thank you for the welcome.

I’m in Miami now but I’ll be moving to Fort Myers in a few months so will practically be neighbors

Hello fellow rational humans, I've been lurking here for a little while so I know a little about some of you already. I’m an atheist since fifteen brought up in a Christian home so as far as anyone in my family knows I’m just not very religious. The deception is for my mother whom is very very Christian and it would just upset her so.. I go to church with her a couple times a year and it makes her happy.

I do fancy myself a futurist so I’ll be bothering you with discussions on the things to come and how to deal from time to time amongst other subjects.

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm... well, welcome fellow atheist! My story is extremely simliar, except my family is not EXTREMELY religious, and they don't go to church much at all anymore. Most of them are not aware of my status... and I've been atheist since, dang, maybe around year 2000 (i was about 9-10 area).

Enough about me, have fun with this, I certainly have, I joined a mere 1-2 days ago.

Hope to hear from you more, fellow atheist, and potential friend!

All know about Florida is mainly from I've seen on CSI Miami (I hate David Caruso) and "Burn Notice' (am deeply in lust with Gabrielle Anwar)

Ponce De Leon

Everglades

Those nifto flat bottomed boats with the huge fan at the back..

Alligators in the water traps on golf courses.

Seminole indians (?)

Mild winters,hot humid summers?

How true are true are the cliches that Miami is like a combination Havana and Tel Aviv retirement home?

I've always wanted to return to the US,,but haven't been game since I read The Patriot Act.--I mean if the US government treats its own people like that,what might it do to a tourist? --OK,I'm only half serious.The other half is due to a deep unwillingness to travel alone. For me,half the fun of traveling is sharing the experience AND I hate being in a strange city alone.
