MOST OF MY FRIENDS WERE MILITARY DEPENDENTS. THEY LEFT THE AREA AND I WONDER WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM. I RECENTLY MOVED TO FLORIDA AND LOVE IT HERE. TRICIA HARDY, SUSAN FINCHER WERE 2 OF MY FRIENDS I HUNG AROUND. I WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS ANYONE HERE IN FLORIDA. I HOPE NOT TO OFFEND ANYONE--BUT I JUST HAD TO GET OUT OF HAMPTON. I THINK AFTER MY MOTHER DIED I TOOK A LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE AND JUST REALIZED THERE WAS NOTHING FOR ME THERE. MOST OF MY FRIENDS-ROBIN MILLER, LESLEY RICHARDSON, AND TRICIA HARDY, ETC. LET ME GIVE YOU SOME UNSOLICITED ADVICE--NEVER GET INTO A HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION. IT WAS LIKE BEING IN PRISON AT TIMES. I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY INVENTED THOSE THINGS, BUT THEY ARE AWFUL. THAT WAS A HUGE REASON FOR MOVING. BUT I HAD VACATIONED IN FORT LAUDERDALE IN THE 80'S AND TRIED TO MOVE THERE THEN BUT JUST COULD NOT GET THE BOYFRIEND, JOB, ETC. ALL TOGETHER SO ANYWAY IT WAS SOMETHING I HAD KIND OF FORGOTTEN ABOUT. I MISS SOME OF MY NEIGHBORS AND THE PEOPLE I USE TO RUN INTO. AND OF COURSE MY FRIENDS BUT IF ANY OF YOU WANT TO MOVE WHERE IT IS WARM AND YOU LOVE THE OCEAN AND MOST IMPORTANTLY YOU WANT A GOOD DEAL -- COME TO FLORIDA. IT IS SOOOOOO DIFFERENT FROM ANYWHERE I HAVE BEEN ON THE EAST COAST. AND I WILL TELL YOU I GOT A GORGEOUS HOUSE, 1800 SF UNDER AIR, 2 CAR GARAGE, BUILT IN 1997, 3BR, 2 1/2 BA, INGROUND POOL, CONCRETE BLOCK (NO TERMITES)CO...Expand for more
