Hmm. I have never been to Florida, and now never plan to, but I get some medication shipped to my home (in Illinois, lucky me) from the Walmart Specialty Pharmacy in Orlando. Which is listed in my phone contacts as Disney World, of course. When I contact them, or vice-versa, once a month, I usually speak to a very pleasant young woman WHO HATES FLORIDA. I try to remind her that our phone call is likely being recorded, to which she usually responds, "I DON'T GIVE A FUCK." Evidently, neither does Walmart, since she's still working there, and has been for at least five years.

Get this, Guys. She's taking her sweet little Pharmacist's ass (her words!) to Massachusetts right after the November election. She says she can't move until she votes "yes" on the pro-choice ballet initiative. I already miss her.

Now that you mention it...

The first time I went to Florida, I was 17 and almost got sun poisoning.

The second time, it was to visit a girlfriend who had moved there to teach at a college in Jacksonville. After that she dumped me, and I decided that she had been cheating on me, too.

What a terrible state!

Lol! (sorry). At least it's not Uganda, but give it time.
