We adapt, we adjust, we make the best of it and that really is okay. As long as I can stay indoors, it's all good. I literally burn to a crisp even on a completely cloudy day. LOL

Yeah I was pretty taken aback when I posted that I only moved to the Villages because hubby said he'd miss me if I didn't go with him. People jumped on me, making me feel defensive, and I had to explain myself over and over again and people kept saying "oh just move" and I"m like - I'm in a place I don't like, and I'm not in a position to leave it. So bugger off.
I continue to maintain that I think the bulk of the Villages might as well be Stepford, perfectly manicured green lawns made out of what in the north is considered a weed that destroys actual grass lawns are hideous, and a bunch of old people doing the Electric Slide to rock and roll should be arrested for violating the laws of music and hog the dance floor so normal people can't move around, and that Florida sucks.
However - if the Villages were in New Mexico, or even West Virginia where you'd see pine forests instead of Crayola Primary Green astro-turf where grass normally goes, I'd be okay with it.
Mostly I just hate Florida and wish the Villages was somewhere else.
