I love my TV home, I've invested many thousands to purchase and make her mine, inside and out. I look in on her several times a day (cameras & wifi thermostat). I pay someone to routinely check her safety and maintain her outside appearance. I've not seen any threads on this issue since joining, admittedly I didn't search for earlier threads. I'll do that now, I'm really interested in gaining some insight.I do thank you for tolerating my part-time residency and want to assure you, I care as much about my TV home as you do yours.
I have never felt any animosity toward the part time residents in TV. I don't know anyone who speaks of them in a bad way. So, I'm surprised that this is 'a thing.' If anyone has said anything inappropriate to you or treated you badly because you don't live here full time than that person is a jerk and just let it go. You don't need them.
