As we approach retirement....we have looked at what is important to us...where do we want to settle...what do we want to do the rest of our lives?
The most important thing for us is of course being together. We like to drive our convertible, we like to go to the beach, we love to vacation, we enjoy fine dining and good wine.
So TV offers wonderful ammenities....good weather, close proximity to beaches, to cruise ships, to disneyworld.
Never once in our contemplating our retirement and move have we thought....where is the best place to make friends. Now for some of you....that may be your number one priority....and thats wonderful! But we are not terribly social....we are friendly, we are funloving....but making friends with others is not the top reason we have chosen TV.
This thread has covered many areas of discussion.....age discrimination, looks discrimination etc. I am not a trophy wife, I am not young. I want to be accepted for who i am. I dont look at someone and judge them based on their looks. I think tatoos were even brought into this discussion....that might offend people and thats why no one waved back.
so if my post offended you...i apologize...because that was never my intent. and for those of you who wrote to me and told me you felt the same way i do...thank you.
Someone called me a piece of work....I am not sure why but i do understand we are not all the same and not everyone clicks.
Again i am deeply and sincerely sorry if i offended anyone....I will now go silently back to my corner.

Please don't go anywhere. Many of us have been unclear and struck someone's else's nerve. Until the future generations can allow us to have an ap for clairvoyance we are stuck with words.
For now we humans not only misunderstand but differ and expect too much of each other and don't try very hard sometimes to overlook in others what is similarly missing in ourselves.
Sermon over.
Please stay. We need you here to make us think.
And we all need others. Someday the one we cherish will leave us. Or we will leave them and they will need others to help them get through.
