Where the **** do we go?

[ditcherman]

nice part its inland enough to not need flood insurance, it's a newer home with concrete block construction and a new roof in 2019 (built to newer standards). about 20-ish miles as the crow flies from the coast.

That’s all well and good but there’s never been a hurricane in southern Indiana, you know. Build a shanty up on top of a ridge and you don’t need flood insurance either.
Not sure if anyone’s mentioned this yet or not.

I should say hot and humid. Heat we can deal with. Humidity she cannot.

How did you come to pick Florida? Tampa is not exactly Miami, but still pretty humid all year round.

If it was actually sunny in winter for most of it, and there was actually a decent amount of daylight hours I would be ok with that. Its not, does not and so I am not OK with it.

i mean the physical reasons are anything above the 37th parallel do not offer enough sunshine hours to provide your body with the correct amount of vitamin d, leading to depression among other things. That doesn’t even take into account the cloudy gloomy days.

North of Tampa in the gulf coast. Inland is humid. Closer to the coast the gulf breeze makes it more manageable. We have family and friends in the area as well as there neutrinos for the wife to do. She loves the beach and water so deciding that over desert is pretty easy.

And like I said, property close to the coasts are not losing value and if we decide we don’t like it, we sell and move on. No mortgage here and there won’t be one there after a few years so we will still make money on it.

Also, we know what Florida is like. I've been going twice a year since I was 3 years old. She's been going since she was 5. She has an aunt, cousins all down in the gainesville/Ocala area. We are looking in the Crystal River/Hernando/Homossassa area.

I had to post this here.

“Remember: This isn’t your little Midwestern town in Indiana where things were absolutely perfect.“

“This is Florida where the crazies are professional.”

Sorry that I'm not staying in a place I've lived my whole life and does not benefit my mental health.

The new Subaru million+ square foot warehouse they’re building? That’s what I now stare at from my back deck

I'm at the 7600 block....I'm waiting for it to hit Fayette....

This was before they built the back wall and then painted it all white.

It's just a cute little joke.

I'm in kinda the same position as yourself. But really my wife is not into moving with me. Oh well. Hope she has fun here.

I'm thinkin New Mexico for myself. If nothing else, just to invest in inexpensive property.

Just as I typed this my idiot neighbors' car alarm is going off for the 5th time today. Hate this place.

New Mexico was written off long ago. They are such a hardcore blue state I couldn't make it. Pretty, property is cheapish but nope.

Drink whole milk like I do, you'll get plenty of D and omega-3 too!

A growing body of research shows that instead of being associated with a risk of obesity, full-fat dairy may have a paradoxical protective effect against excess weight gain.

Milk is supplemented with vitamin D, which is only naturally found in a handful of foods—so if your intake of the sunshine vitamin isn’t that high, going for fuller-fat dairy might be a good call.​

In the past, whole milk was considered unhealthy because of its saturated fat content, but recent research does not fully support this recommendation.​

What about cheeky and fun Indiana? Did anyone mention *insert random place in Indiana here* yet? Has he considered *random place* due to it's *insert local attraction* and the *insert local dish* at *insert local restaurant*, which is to die for?

If you read closely you'll see his wife picked the location for him. When you think about it, any good husband would do the same. Bob is being good for once. This is a rare moment and should be remembered.

Having lived for many years in SW Texas, when we moved back to Indiana, it took a lot of years to get used to not having a lot of clear blue skies nearly all the time. I still get a little depressed with the long stretches of cloudy days here.
