TOTV has descended from a once proud information sharing forum to a "wannabe amatuer comedy hour" with OP's asking a reasonable question and the responses being vain attempts at humor from everything from golf cart accidents to death in the villages..... sad state of affairs

Good luck in finding a true friend here......
I have found several good true friends on this forum who have become integral parts of our lives. You can just tell by how people post on here if you would like them or you hope they aren't building on YOUR street. Hedoman...I wish you and the missus lived on our street.

You are right about the inappropriate humor. I hope I haven't attempted levity in serious situations.

I think if we would only post what we in normal situations would say "in person" than all of the gooniness on here would disapate. Personally I think that in the last couple of days there have been people who have assumed another identity on here and are deliberately baiting people.

There sure have been some posts that have taken in a bunch of people...in my very humble opinion.

I love TOTV. It is like an interactive newspaper...or it usually is anyway.
