Leaving Fleming Island- It's Too Far!

What Island? Fleming Island. Too far? I just think it's funny that most folks after about a year after moving to this incredible bedroom community they are stricken with the TOO FAR Disorder. You don't realize at first you have it. The signs begin when you are thinking of eating out and someone suggests somewhere on Wells Rd in Orange Park and you hesitate and say, "I don't know if I want to drive that FAR." For those reading this let's explain exactly how far that is, 9 miles or 15 minutes. You go ahead and go but complain that next time your "staying on the island"

Then it happens again, another symptom appears. It's time to go out with friends and they suggest a movie and dinner. Your response, "We really need a movie theater on the island. Why don't we go out to eat somewhere around here then just rent a movie and go back to our house?" Everyone considers the alternative, leaving the island, and all quickly agree to the rental option. TFD is rapidly becoming a part of you and you don't even realize it.

Then it's the final confirmation that you have TFD. One of your friends suggests an afternoon of lunch and shopping. You enjoy going to St Johns Town Center but you find yourself really having to think about this. I mean you love to shop right? Lunch at PF Changs would be great right? Then you think, "well that's too far we could just go to the Orange Park Mall. Mmmm? No, that's to far too. How about Stein Mart, Kohl's, and Chili's? We could always go to Piece of Cake for dessert if we feel like living large. You run it by your girlfriend who is already stricken with TFD and she says, "That's exactly what I was thinking"

You have TOO FAR DISORDER!
ps. someone just told me they were so glad the new Publix was going in because the existing one in Fleming Island is just too far! This appears to be a severe case of TFD. It seems to be spreading rapidly.
