• Hello Guest,

    We will not be following or complying with the Online Safety Bill that was recently signed into law in the UK. This bill will not affect the operations of the site, nor do we have a presence in the UK to receive notice or fines that the UK Government may impose.

    We would highly recommend that all users from the UK get some sort of VPN, and you should petition your lawmakers to let them know how you feel about this piece of draconian legislation.

I live in FL but in a part that is only a stone-throw away from Alabama. Itโ€™s scary to be reminded of how low our rent is compared to the rest of the county, because I couldnโ€™t even afford this rent if I lived alone. Iโ€™d be on the street, or worse, forced to live with my mentally/emotionally abusive mother.

Short of going to some nowhere town in the Midwest that doesnโ€™t have good employment opportunities, thereโ€™s nowhere else to live โ€œcheaplyโ€ other than the good olโ€™ south. I really donโ€™t care about where I live though, you canโ€™t outrun whatโ€™s in your own head.

Walton County, by any chance? My Dad grew up on a farm in Geneva County, Alabama. It was just a few miles from the Florida line.

Depends. Half of the year Iโ€™m in London in the UK, half Iโ€™m in my homeland, southern Georgia. Iโ€™m near the tri state area of Florida and Alabama, probably close-ish to some others itt.

My husband is English, so thatโ€™s my connection. Iโ€™d love to say that itโ€™s amazing, but after a while everything becomes stale. Comes with the territory of depression I suppose.

South Texas, in a run down city I hate. Could be worse, but itโ€™s not great. Especially right now.

Originally from PA, but lived in TN since 1993. Not in TN at present.

you canโ€™t outrun whatโ€™s in your own head.

I have a self-contained universe that I'd infinitely prefer over this life - if only we could flush out the horrible things slithering in-between what should be.

This is exactly where I am; the things that should excite me have lost their luster.

Floriduh here, too. Not surprised to see quite a few of us here. With any luck, the hurricane will take me away next week. LOL

Close, Escambia County. Pretty much all the same though.

Iโ€™m also pretty surprised and yet also not surprised by the number of Floridians in here. I wasnโ€™t born here, but I lived in Central FL for most of my life until moving to NWFL last year. Thought a change of scenery and experiences would make things betterโ€ฆ.sometimes I think it made it worse.

I hope the same thing, but I'm too far inland :(
