We don't want to spend 3 months knowing that people will be talking about us behind our back. Sorry for the rant.

Dear Chevy Guy.
We were snowbirds for four years and never treated anyway differently from the year rounders. NO one knows whether you are fish or fowl out and around this place.
If you have a sweet demeanor and good manners and a bit of patience, then you will get back that kind of attitude here and everywhere, for the most part.
You cannot be too fragile here with all of seniors who really think they are right. You can think you are right too.
There are some mean and nasty folks here in The Villages and even on this forum occasionally.
Just smile and say.
"Pull your dress down.
You are showin' your fanny."
Or better still, say nothing at all.
Most of us here in TV are pretty nice folks.
