The Villages is and always has been a work-in-progress. Many of the things that are standard it the newer areas were not considered in the mid to late 90s or before (all the way back to the 60s). Just as the multi modal paths have evolved so have the Recreation Centers and the swimming areas. It will be interesting to see what new standards will be included when they build south of 466A.

Of course this could be just another rumor .....

In fact, this very topic came up, at our house, just this afternoon, when Boomette, my daughter, and my granddaughter Boomvette were here to help get things ready for tomorrow.

Kitchens are not measured by the height of the people using them. Kitchens are measured by the number of butts that can fit into the kitchen at the same time.

For instance, my kitchen is a 3-butt kitchen.

Please keep in mind that this method of kitchen measurement has very little to do with the size of the butts. The other two butts that were in the kitchen with me are still under control, but my own butt (sigh) well......it ain't what it used to be. But I digress.....

Anyway, what I mean is that in my kitchen 3 people can work together and have individual counter space to use and can also move around without bumping into each other while carrying big knives.

In a pinch, it might be possible to make room for a 4th butt in my kitchen, but that would be kind of like calling 2 bedrooms and a den 3 bedrooms.

Just wanted to let you know.

Helpful Boomer
Too funny! I have a "one butt" kitchen!

Why would you be so hung up on size of Rec Center?? We have so many now, and most of the time, they are not continuously being utilized. Believe me, there are plenty of Rec centers for each village to have when needed. No where else in country that has as many. Just enjoy your life here, and forget size of Rec centers.

Check this link out - it might help clear it up! Hope it helps - - -

After you have been around TOTV for awhile, you will come to understand the nature of Fumars' posts. Or again, maybe not.

Not all of us need to be around awhile to get Fumar's sense of humor. Matter of fact I not only appreciate his humor but he's been an inspiration on my developing and adapting my own sense of humor here on TOTV. Thanks Fumar and keep the creative posts coming!
