[Happinow]

Before we made the decision to move to TV (we will arrive in May) we talked about all of the things you are concerned about. I've never seen a live gator, except on tv, I hate snakes, the fire ants don't sound too good either. As for hurricanes....like everyone else said, TV is inland, which was what made it easier for us to make our decision to move there, and is protected much more than living in other parts of Florida. We weighed the pros and cons and the pros won by far. We feel we can avoid the gators, probably avoid snakes, the fire ants are probably like the black fly bites we get in NY, and preparing for a hurricane is kinda like preparing for a foot of snow and ice. So, I'd rather be enjoying the fun, the sun and all that TV has to offer than sit here in the North Country and complain about all that I don't like. We will deal with ever comes our way in TV and with such a great community, if anything really bad happens (a hurricane) we will all ban together and help one another until things get back to normal. My daughter, who lives in NC, has lived there a year, and I can't tell you how many times she calls and tells me there are tornado watches for her area. Much more than I've ever heard of extreme weather in TV. I say pack your bags and make the move!! Life is too short to wonder if what it would have been like to live the good life!
