I see our group got a little out of control and now the administrator has taken down Gracie's new thread post. To you, our Florida Native - I say thank you very much for your service to our country. I would hope that most of us are happy to have you here in TV to share your retirement dollars and youth.
My brother (53) and his wife(45) purchased a home here this spring because they have loved the lifestyle that only TV can give. Unfortunately, that does bring with it some amazing discriminatory comments - especially toward his working wife - who is still contributing to our social security system so those of us who have retired can continue to receive our checks each month. She is always carded and definitely snide comments are made by older women on being too young to be here. I've witnessed it myself.
Reading is fundamental (read your contracts before you purchase) and perception is reality for some. I'm also guessing that some of our senior contributors have conveniently forgotten that we have a "family village" here as well. Without younger people around us, there would be no one to serve them their drinks at the bar each night or card them at Publix.
