Work, providing for their family, do they even have a job? Kids in school, school activities, not enough family time and the list goes on and on. In TV, for the most part, we are all retired and the next thing we have to do is most likely fun! Not much stress. Our kids are grown, we know what we want out of life now and life is much less stressful and more calm. I'm not sure if I'm making sense but I think that's why people who move to TV may not be so friendly, but if you give them time, they will see that being grumpy gets you nowhere and friendly is the way to go. Did that make any sense??

After you live here a while some of The Villages Kool Aid will wear off. Don't get me wrong, this is a GREAT place to live, ....and most of the people you meet here are vey nice. It just that some folks can't be happy no matter where they are living and feel the necessity to take it out on others. I've come to the conclusion that some of them just don't feel well physically and that makes them grumpy.....you'll have that anywhere but maybe a little more with an older than average population. Don't misunderstand what I'm saying here,...I'm not saying that older folks are grumpy,...I just don't think that a lot of them feel well and it affects their outlook.
