Hey I've got a great idea. Not as good as the one I had last February when I bought a 20-year supply of TP and paper towels from Costco. Now I just have to hope I outlive the supply. Anyway, on to my new brilliant idea - one I'm sure has already be posted a dozen times. Where can Villages seniors get good advice? Right here on TOTV. But how many know that? Probably not that many. TOTV should put together a flyer, piece of paper, document or whatever say once a year. It should be labeled something like Things the Savvy Senior Villager Should Know. In it it should have references to Threads or Posts. For instance: Thinking of Buying a Car? First read these threads or posts. Then they list some threads and more importantly how to find and access them. How about, Considering Cataract Surgery, Need Roofing Repair, A/C Not Working, Toilet Problems, and on and on. Besides giving, at times, good advice to our fellow senior community this flyer (or whatever) could probably increase readership in TOTV, something the advertisers would appreciate. Also, companies that perform services for our fellow residents will figure out that their names might wind up in threads for either good or bad services. This could also be included in the package when a person becomes a new resident. Imagine if this particular lady had read some of the Posts on car buying you'd be reading a post about how I took advantage of a sleazy car salesman. Knowledge is a weapon for the buyer, lack of knowledge is a weapon for the salesman.
