I remember some thirteen years ago when I first posted on this site, incredulous about all the malarkey about how great this place was. I thought for sure that someone was exaggerating about how terrific The Villages was and there must be a fly in the ointment, or a conspiracy or someone was flat out lying, although we had come for a 24 hour visit to a friend here who was raving about it.

I posted my doubts on here and boy was I flattened in a New York second. I thought I was asking reasonable questions and would be told that there was a huge spoof and someone was a dog in the woodshed, and for the first time in my life, I was beat up and criticized and put down and stomped on.

I know now why, now that I have succumbed and am now part of the glory shouters. Funny how that is. Funny how that is.
