I was responding to the impression of that prison-like existence that is conveyed and supported with more comments to that effect, to newcomers and newbies or those considering coming here. There is a lot of negative, unfounded stereotyping of this beautiful place which is the best place many of us have ever lived in.

I apologize if my post seemed too directed at you because it wasn't intended to be.
No apology needed. We are both speaking from our hearts. I live here. I loVe it here. There have to be the occasional posts about alligators in our swimming pools and other stereotyping or it would be referred to as the Villages of Florida.
