So...here goes: Is The Villages all you thought it would be? Please tell us how long you've been in TV....if you're a Frog or Snowbird/Snowflake. Maybe share with us if your feelings/thoughts about TV has changed with time?
Darn your x-ray vision, I thought I'd get away with just reading other people's posts. I've been here since 1999. I looked all over central Florida for a number of years but couldn't find any place that I felt I could relate to. When I started looking I was in my early to mid fifties and all I saw was a lot of "old" people. Now I'm 70 and I feel like I fit in, as far as age goes.

When I sold my house in a nearby small town, I had to make a fast decision. So I decided on the villages because I have a relative living here. I figured, "at least I know someone". But I didn't have any big expectations about the villages. I didn't think The Villages would make me happy. You're either a happy person or your not. Whatever you are, you bring it with you. So, I'm basically the same person today as I was when I came here.

About 98 percent of the time I'm content and happy.

To be continued:
