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.

OBB, for someone who dislikes TV and Florida, I commend your keeping a positive attitude about it and making lemonade from lemons rather than filling this forum with venom...latest post notwithstanding. You and I agree it’s like Stepford. I’d say a perfect blend of Stepford and the Truman show. As for line dancing to rock, we all have different triggers, and for some reason that doesn’t bother me. I guess I’ve always had a fondness for the cheesy, and TV fulfills that desire admirably.
Wow, what a thread!
