And that's a slippery slope! My folks' (now my mother-in-law's) 55+ place in St. Pete has turned into the land of "NO". There are "NO" signs everywhere. NO horseplay in the pool. NO dogs on the grass. NO feeding the birds. NO this and NO that. Everywhere you look there's a NO sign about something.

One little NO sign can lead to 100 big NO signs. I've seen it happen. The place in St. Pete is still lovely, but now it seems to be populated by a band/herd/flock/coven of grumps who spend all day dreaming up excuses for new NO signs. It gives the impression they can't get along with anybody, and it would certainly make me think twice about moving there.

GG, forget the signs and just go ahead and smack 'em.
