mercury Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 I had a brief stop over in FL. The end. At best, I'll accept I was an extended visitor Florida that amounted to 1/42 of my life... How can you be Floridian if you never saw the freaking ocean???? Huh?? Quote

How can you be Floridian if you never saw the freaking ocean???? Huh?? lol, there is much more to Florida than the two oceans that hug our beautiful State. You actually lived in a house, if you had only lived in motel rooms like a tourist then I would agree that you were not a resident of Florida but being as you had a permanent address and home here, your a Floridian, no matter how long or short your life here was.... It is what it is Quote
mercury Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 oh yeah... there's heat, humidity, hurricanes, alligators, huge freaky bugs, flea markets and a lot of bad dental hygiene. ( I never in my life saw so many people so proud of their nasty rotted teeth!) I guess, by your theory, any student that studies in France for a year is also suddenly "French"? Quote

( I never in my life saw so many people so proud of their nasty rotted teeth!) I don't know about the tooth issue, I have lived here my entire life and I rarely see someone with that kind of issue, if they are young and have lots of rotten teeth you can most likely chalk that up to drug issues and I do not run in those circles. But we do have lots of bugs and stuff, and they love the soft flesh of yankies, lol. I guess, by your theory, any student that studies in France for a year is also suddenly "French"? French or American is a legal term to establish rights as a citizen, lol. If people went to France for 6 years of college (not sure why someone would do that unless it was for art) then they certainly did live there and were a part of the community. Just like you lived in Florida and were part of our community It is what it is. Quote
mercury Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 "Residency" is also a legal term. Let me repeat this nice and slow for you: I never es tab lished res i den cy in Flor i da. I was never an actual legal resident. I was nothing more than a visitor. Yes, I resided there for a year. But I was not a resident. I couldn't buy a season pass to Disney or Busch Gardens on the resident rate, because (squint and concentrate real hard).... I Was NOT a RESIDENT. For all intents and purposes, I was still a Michigan resident and my tax returns show that I did pay Michigan income taxes. THAT makes me a resident... And the rotten teeth thing: wasn't anyone I knew or hung out with... just something I noticed every time I got gas, bought groceries or passed someone on the street that decided to smile at me. I've never seen so many rotten smiles... and they came in all shapes sizes and age ranges. I never got bit by a single bug. My Yankee flesh ain't so sweet. Quote
timesjoke Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 "Residency" is also a legal term. And by law you lived here, lol. Let me repeat this nice and slow for you: I never es tab lished res i den cy in Flor i da. I was never an actual legal resident. I was nothing more than a visitor. Yes, I resided there for a year. But I was not a resident. You "RESIDED" there for a year, that makes you a resident. I couldn't buy a season pass to Disney or Busch Gardens on the resident rate, because (squint and concentrate real hard).... I Was NOT a RESIDENT. If you had an electric bill with your name on it you can get the resident rate at all Florida resorts and even the Florida resident discount for education accepts proof of residency such as: ?A valid Florida voter?s identification card ?Proof of purchase of permanent primary home in Florida ?Proof of auto insurance in Florida ?Rent receipts and/or lease in Florida (used as proof of physical presence only) ?Proof of state of Florida unemployment or state aid ?Letter of employment in Florida on official company letterhead For all intents and purposes, I was still a Michigan resident and my tax returns show that I did pay Michigan income taxes. THAT makes me a resident... Yes, I resided there for a year. Your own words, you RESIDED" in Florida, I believe you said you purchased a home, your husband worked there, you had bills in your name, etc...... You were a Floridian, no matter how short that time may have been, you were still a resident. It is what it is. And the rotten teeth thing: wasn't anyone I knew or hung out with... just something I noticed every time I got gas, bought groceries or passed someone on the street that decided to smile at me. I've never seen so many rotten smiles... and they came in all shapes sizes and age ranges. Maybe you just look for stuff like that but I honestly do not see many people with rotten teeth the way you try to make it sound, sure, we have people who abuse drugs in Florida, but every State has their share of those kinds of issues. If they are abusing drugs and that rots their teeth, then a smile at you would certainly be a high point of their life I am sure. I never got bit by a single bug. My Yankee flesh ain't so sweet. Well you said you never saw the ocean even though you lived close to it so how could a bug get to you if you were always shut up in your house? Most likely had an exterminator spray too didn't you? Meanie yankee, why couldn't you spare a little sweet northern blood for our poor bugs in need? They deserve a little sustenance too you know Quote
mercury Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 You beleive wrong... I haven't disclosed any of that information anywhere. I didn't purchase a home. I had Michigan Insurance, plates and driver's license. My utilities were in a relative's name. My husband continued to reside and work in Michigan. I didn't collect aid or unemployment. I didn't register to vote. I paid Michigan State Income tax. I was physically present in Florida for one year... is that better? Nope, I don't spend my time being on the lookout for rotten teeth... but I sure do notice them when they're flashed at me. Maybe they just have bad hygiene or big drug problems near Zephyr Hills? I don't know... I don't really care.... all I know is what I saw, The bugs don't live ONLY at the ocean. I was outside every single day. Bugs just don't like to bite me. I haven't had even a mosquito bite in years. I didn't have an exterminator come in, but I did have some bug bombs set off before we moved into the house because it had been sitting empty for several months. All I ever saw inside the house was one palmetto the night we arrived and a buttload of dead earwigs. And the nasty roaches that crawled out of the couch my brother in law found for us on craigslist that went to the dump the next day. (yeah... thanks, Paul!) Quote
wez Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 hahahahaha.. look what ya done got started Hugo.. I've never been acquainted with a Floridian that could shut the hell up.. or count to 21.. unless they had more than 5 digits per extremity. Quote
hugo Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 9 2 3 Do you not know that the unjust will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers nor boy prostitutes nor sodomites 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 That is what some of you used to be; but now you have had yourselves washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God. 12 4 "Everything is lawful for me," 5 but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is lawful for me," but I will not let myself be dominated by anything. 13 "Food for the stomach and the stomach for food," but God will do away with both the one and the other. The body, however, is not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body; 14 God raised the Lord and will also raise us by his power. 15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take Christ's members and make them the members of a prostitute? 6 Of course not! 16 (Or) do you not know that anyone who joins himself to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For "the two," it says, "will become one flesh." 17 But whoever is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. 18 Avoid immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the immoral person sins against his own body. 7 19 Do you not know that your body is a temple 8 of the holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? 20 For you have been purchased at a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body. Glad I ain't a fornicator. Fornicating ain't conservative.

timesjoke Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 You beleive wrong... I haven't disclosed any of that information anywhere. I'm sorry, I must have confused you with another person who told me her husband was working in the Tampa area but could not find enough work then ended up finding work back where you came from and should never have left in the first place.....or something like that. Must have imagined it. I was physically present in Florida for one year... is that better? And maintained a residence..........or were you homeless too? It is what it is. Don't be sad about being a Floridian, we are all family now, and like a family we may not like every member of it, lol. Nope, I don't spend my time being on the lookout for rotten teeth... but I sure do notice them when they're flashed at me. Maybe they just have bad hygiene or big drug problems near Zephyr Hills? I don't know... I don't really care.... all I know is what I saw As do I from living here all my life, but yes, that area has a lot of drug issues, job losses hit there earlier than many areas in Florida and depression does drive drug problems in many cases. I work in public, I do not sit at home all day and I travel to rivers and oceans to actually see what is in Florida, I do not see very many people with rotten teeth. The bugs don't live ONLY at the ocean. I was outside every single day. Bugs just don't like to bite me. I haven't had even a mosquito bite in years. I didn't have an exterminator come in, but I did have some bug bombs set off before we moved into the house because it had been sitting empty for several months.

And the nasty roaches that crawled out of the couch my brother in law found for us on craigslist that went to the dump the next day. (yeah... thanks, Paul!) lol, well do you eat a lot of garlic or some other natural bug repellent? I bet if I took you into the glades we could find some bugs that would find you tasty We have mosquitos in the glades that can pic you up and take you home for dinner later. Quote

timesjoke Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 What has our nation come to when "conservatives" defend sin and Marxism? Your not a conservative, your a socialist who pretends to hold conservative values but ends up helping people like Obama get elected. The majority of Libertarians voted for Obama in the last election, now how can these idiots claim they support conservative ideas and then vote completely socialist? I may not have liked my 60% or so choice in Mccain, but at least Palin was 99% Conservative and the alternative of not helping the McCain/Palin ticket was to help Obama........ And help Obama is exactly what hugo and company did. Quote

timesjoke Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 sad, sad hugo, always trying to attack me on a personal level because he is too weak to face the questions I put in front of him, now it is time to show how stupid he is in scripture too: Matthew 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication and shall marry another, commiteth adultery, and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. I Corinthians 7:15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace The bond of marriage is part of the bond with God hugo, when there is no true bond and belief with God then there cannot be the new creation as described in Ephesians: Ephesians 5:31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh See if you can understand that, lol.

mercury Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Okay... you win. Not because I agree that spending 1 year of my life in Florida makes me "a Floridian" but because I feel like an idiot for going in circles with you. Don't think I ever told you he was working in the Tampa area, because he never did work in the Tampa area. I may have mentioned that he was LOOKING for work in the Tampa area. He was only there for 6 weeks. Oh wait... I take that back. He worked one day for a jackass we knew from Michigan.... and never got paid. But that hardly qualifies as actually having a job. Maybe the rotten teeth issue is realative. In Michigan I'd only seen a handful of people with rotted out teeth throughout my entire life... The UAW provides good dental plans. I saw more in that one year, than in the previous 42. shrugs I was out and about nearly everyday and it seemed that on each outing, someone had green or black teeth... if they had any at all. And yes, I eat a lot of garlic... can't get enough of it. Quote

Not because I agree that spending 1 year of my life in Florida makes me "a Floridian" but because I feel like an idiot for going in circles with you. You had a residence, you were a resident, trying to say you were not is causing the circles, not me. Are you really that ashamed of living here? Why? Don't think I ever told you he was working in the Tampa area, because he never did work in the Tampa area. I may have mentioned that he was LOOKING for work in the Tampa area. He was only there for 6 weeks. Oh wait... I take that back. He worked one day for a jackass we knew from Michigan.... and never got paid. But that hardly qualifies as actually having a job. I also remember talking to you about a job I did I thought was too small for your husband and you said no, it would not have been and he did other jobs smaller than that as well as other things that were not flooring. You showed me several pictures of your husbands work and I told you how good I thought it was. Your husband was in Florida with you at least for a short time, I remember speaking to you about how he would have to go work for someone else to get his name out there in the town before he would be able to go out on his own. We talked at great length about these things Merc, I have a very good memory. We also talked about the issues you have with your husband.......... Maybe the rotten teeth issue is realative. In Michigan I'd only seen a handful of people with rotted out teeth throughout my entire life... The UAW provides good dental plans. I saw more in that one year, than in the previous 42. shrugs I was out and about nearly everyday and it seemed that on each outing, someone had green or black teeth... if they had any at all. And yet you never saw the ocean.......... Tampa is a couple hours from me and I have been to the beaches and resorts there many times in the last couple years but you lived there a full year and never got far enough from your home to see the ocean? Something about that does not make sense. And yes, I eat a lot of garlic... can't get enough of it. I have heard that people who eat massive amounts of garlic do repell many bugs, I like Garlic, but not that much, lol. Quote

timesjoke Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Ya caint beat a Floridian at the last word game. Not just a Floridian, you would be just as stupid in any State you resided in hugo. 99% of what you post is stolen from other people and copy/pasted or your offering false witness against people like Sarah Palin to justify why you did not vote conservative in the last election. If you want to compete with someone who has a brain, you need to step up and stop being so lazy hugo. Quote
timesjoke Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Ain't gonna get by St. Pete with a load of BS. Your right you won't. With all the false witness your offering you will definately not get past him. No comment on how you intentionally edited that Bible passage hugo? Quote
