These classes are very popular and many people would like to participate. Some participants have gone as far to have people move because it’s not their spot. Such high school behavior shouldn’t be allowed if this place is in fact, the friendliest place the friendliest city, and everyone is kind and understanding, why not treat other people who are interested in good health with more respect. Do you want a specific spot get there early there’s room for everyone there are classes available throughout each week , be kind others why not make a new friend rather than treat someone like they don’t belong.
Well, some folks are more important than others, I guess…

It isn’t just here. We do a lot of cruising: it is nothing for people to put a towel on a good chair by the pool and then disappear for inordinate amounts of time. See it at the buffets too: window tables are always preferred and it isn’t uncommon to see a cup of coffee and a spoon at a table while the person staking out that particular claim is off doing whatever.

And church? We’ve attended a couple here in TV: I guarantee that you’ll see probably a dozen or more Bibles resting on seats before the service starts while the folks claiming those seats are in the commons area gossiping and sucking down the free coffee.
