[QUOTE=rubicon;409937]angiefox I would have left TV one year after my arrival. The reasons are not personal or family related but have to do with TV. TV sells a lifestyle but that lifestyle can be practiced anywhere . I won't go any futher because it will only upset some residents.

Rubicon I always find your posts reasonable and interesting, and have noted that you are not totally happy in TV, and respect that. The only exception I would take with this post is that the "lifestyle can be practiced anywhere". The Villages lifestyle may be practiced other places, though I have never been to any of them, but most certainly not "anywhere". Where I currently live there is no opportunity to go dancing or enjoy live entertainment once a week, much less every night, I have two golf courses which are each 20 minutes away, and no decent resturaunts or shopping without traveling a half hour or more. Now, there are other things I enjoy about where I live, and am not complaining, but the TV lifestyle cannot be replocated here in any way.
