Thanks Barb, I did receive your PM. I appreciate your sending it. I want to send the reviewer an email. Even though I am not a Villager yet, and have only made two trips there--one lifestyle, and one one night stay--I am sold on TV and can't wait to sell our home here and move down there. I really resent the reviewers comments as I resent the author of Leisureville's portrayal of TV. Everyone has a right to their opinion however I feel that the views presented were based more on the writer's personal biased feelings, without any thought being given to the basic reasons TV is so popular among retirees. We have all spent a great deal of our lives working, raising children, paying taxes which included supporting education, voting, etc. And the mere fact that we prefer to live and play with our peers and not constantly around children does not mean that we don't like children. On the contrary we love and enjoy our grandchildren. And we also enjoy living an adult life. This, and our desire to live in a safe, well run, happy community does not make us "Stepford Wives" or selfish and non-caring. And I for one thank the developers for affording us the opportunity to live out our lives in a community that makes us happy. What's wrong with that I say.
