Hello Lounge.. This is my


first post here. I just moved to Fl and am looking for a place to rent

for myself in an RV I just bought to move here. I like the gulf side of the

state, and want to be in south Fl. South of Sarasota would be great!

Also, safety is important, and so is price. Under $400.00 preferred with everything

included.

Thanks ahead of time for any suggestions. I welcome all.

ps, hope to help re-elect Alan Grayson and work on the Governors race

for Charlie Crist...

Wish me luck!

I am very excited to finally be in a state that I can do more to help

elect more Democrats. Living in a red state previously was really getting

to me, I never had a Democrat to vote for except for President.

Its all about sun, fun, politics, and charity work from now on!

What took you so long?

Tune in tomorrow for my regular Lounge feature, William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day.

I'm hanging with Will right now.

Good to have you here!

fyi - MFM stands for our beloved lounger MiddleFingerMom. He passed away yesterday after a long struggle with illness, and we are missing him. You will probably see MFM mentioned a lot here.

Also I want to caution you that I and others have a tendency to re-post news stories here about weird things that happen in Florida. Please try not to be offended. It's just that there is so much MATERIAL out there.

I'm so sorry to hear of this great lost to you all. There was much

love for him on DU. I saw his post often. RIP MFM.


The stories about FL will be fine. I moved here from Miss. and the stories

about red states and especially Miss are for the most part true and plentiful also. lol

So happy I got out! I feel like I will make friends easily now that I can be around

more like minded people. Sheez, thought the day would never get here that

I could fulfill my lifelong dream to own an RV and live in FL.

Welcome to the Lounge. We seem to be in for some remodeling and perhaps a name change.

My daughter lives in Mississippi - I hope not for long.

What a pleasant place to be. I usually offend people when I have

posted before on political stuff. I don't mean to, it just happens. *sigh*

Reading must be my stronger suit. Ha ha

I don't know if they have any campsites or trailer parking for rent but they have the BEST PIE in the world. And with good pie, who cares where ya live?

My aunt and Uncle have lived in the Venice area (just a hiccup further south from Sarasota) for many years (Well, my aunt and my mom were both born there - and my little brother too, come to think of it but I was pretty young then) and they love it. I visit the area as often as I can (I live in Orlando). It's not too far from Tampa if you have an urge for some bigger city fun but still quiet and beautiful to soothe you after a long hard day of GOTV.

pie! lol

I am familiar with Venice. What a charming place to visit!

The people walking the sidewalks along the small shops and beautiful

colors on the main drag was so cool. Thank you for the ideal of Venice

that's definitely south ,and a great place to try and find something.



ps Orlando is great too! I lived there in 1988 and 89. It was so beautiful

there. I want to be closer to the water, it heals my spirit and make me whole

when I am down, Mother Earth is still so beautiful in some places. The beach's, water, sun takes all the stress away every time. Have a beautiful day Greek!

May be way out of my price range. I drove through there

on a road trip while I was living in Orlando in the late 80's..

I look forward to being very involved in politics here. Its my first

priority to find out all I can as soon as I get settled....

Thank you monmouth3!!!!
Have a beautiful day!
