What's wrong in TV

[Lone Traveller]

When I come to this board I get the feeling I�ve entered a Shangri La. No place is that divine. Fess up there has to be things wrong with TV. Nobody can make a truly informed decision with only one side of the story. So out with it and I don�t mean little stuff like you can get your favorite tee time every day, let�s have the real dirt.

[jadebox]

Have been here over 7 years and would live no where else. Once in awhile little things irritate me--like closing down the Aqua Driving range on El Camino--but the small irritations are made up for by all the good in this wonderful place.

[Fourpar]

Lone Traveler,

When we first came to TV on Lifestyle Visit, we made it a point to talk to residents specifically asking what they didn't like about TV. Got many answers naming pet peeves, but the last comment from all was: "...But I wouldn't live anywhere else". That was enough for us. We had 2 more visits over the next year and a half, and kept hearing similar comments.

Today, I give out the same response: "There are things done/not done here that I don't like....But far, far fewer that anywhere else I have been, or that I can think of..." This is home! :)

[redwitch]

I hate that Democrats cannot have a fund raiser here -- they can never get a room for that purpose. A meeting room, yes, but not one large enough for any real purpose yet the Republicans use the town squares and Savannah Center. But, then, I do understand that the Morses are serious Republicans, have donated large sums to that party, and are friends with the major politicos and they do have a right to protect their interests as they see fit. I also understand that this is a vastly conservative and Republican enclave. I would like to hear and see the politicians for each side. That, for me, is a major complaint.

Let's see, the golf cart path north of 466 are truly awful -- bumpy and narrow.

I don't think I've seen such lousy drivers anywhere in the world. It is definitely a community where you need to drive very defensively.

In general, I'm not a big fan of the Morses. I don't mind that they're rich. They've earned their money. I do mind that they give the impression of being greedy (the penalties if a property doesn't close in time, their refusal to negotiate, their refusal to have closed captioning on the local TV station).

I miss the buffalo. I understand the Morses have a right to do what they want with their land. I understand that people were refusng to be safe. Nonetheless, I miss them.

I really don't understand why we have to use clear plastic bags for recycling, why we can't have bins like the majority of the country. I'm not a big fan of plastic bags in general. Why do we have to put lawn refuse in huge paper bags? If you're going to require special bags, why don't you provide them rather than requiring your customers to buy them?

I never thought I'd say I'm sick of oldies but I'm sick of the oldies from the 50s and 60s. I want to hear more from the 70s and 80s. Give me some Eagles, John Cougar, Springsteen, Mayall, et al. in the Squares and on the radio. I'd love to hear more variety in the squares rather than just on occasion.

Okay, that's all the gripes I can think of right now. All in all, the good far outweighs the bad and what is bad is mini-bad (more of an irritant than something to stop me from wanting to be here). Hope this helps you a little.

[rshoffer]

My biggest adjustment (not a gripe or complaint) was moving to a community where I'm at the younger end of the age curve. Example, in Pa I was a "senior" at age 58 in our gym. It was fun training the high school and college kids. I missed that. It took a bit of time to re connect with people who share my interests (running, body-building etc) but that is happening. I went through an initial adjustment (panic) that I wasn't gonna fit in because of my interests... WRONG! eg; new running club. Anyone interested in a body-building club?

There is no safer, cleaner, more active, more aesthetically pleasing place I would choose to live. It is hard to believe... when we did our lifestyle gig I was walking up to strangers trying to find someone who had a list of negatives. I don't think 80 thousand people are in denial... there simply are very few major negatives.

[ijusluvit]

Dear Lone,

Notice that the replies mention stuff right up there with not always being able to get your favorite tee time?

Did you get it yet? This is a really nice place with thousands of really nice people. Might be the nicest place anywhere. We won't change when you get here.

nuff said,
THE END

[graciegirl]

I agree with Redwitch except about the Democratic fundraisers. I feel that the Morse's being very involved with the Republican party would naturally cater to that party.

I don't dislike the Morses. I don't know anything about the Morses and I wish I did so I could think of them as real people with a real family. I just wish that they would make themselves more visible. If not more visible, appear to be more "user friendly". I can't compliment their business acumen enough, but after people make so much money, money is no longer the issue or what they are striving for. I think that they are somewhat non sociable or shy, if you will. I have heard that said about the senior Morse,that he is shy. AND if you are reading this Morses, I think it would be in your best interests to hire a good public relations person, cause I am tired of defending you. And If you don't care, then I don't like you as much as I did.

The rest is just wonderful. I think it draws people who LIKE to interact with other people.
So if you were just going to sit by yourself at the pool and read and don't like to talk to other people, then maybe the villages isn't the place for you.

I like the inexpensive meals that can be had here. I don't like the higher prices at Publix compared to Cincinnati, so we plan to grocery shop in nearby Leesburg.

I think that is it. I don't have any negatives more to share at this point.

[conn8757]

The thing that bothers me the most about TV is that I am not there yet! I am in the wanna be there club -

[Muncle]

Too many :edit: democrats and other malcontents. See http://www.ccfj.net/POABull.html

[Avista]

I love The Villages, BUT it is SO Republican--newspaper and all. Would like a little more even handedness politically.

[uujudy]

From personal experience I know that it's hot in the summer.

The Villages Florida (are we still doing this) :dontknow:
Smalldog Sez the Morses have a way of doing some things that seems sneaky and underhanded ::)...... other than that I pretty much agree with Red Witch except for that Democrate thingy .......... once again it's not completely perfect( they ought to consult me :o) but since this is still the third rock from the sun, not to bad at all
I do have a series of pet peeves as I'm sure most of us do .......

[RCT]

Too many :edit: democrats and other malcontents. See http://www.ccfj.net/POABull.html
I see you are back to feeling your normal self again with a comment like this. Funny, the people that call others these things are the ones usually stirring crap up, so who is the malcontent??? Hope your health is better, but curing an attitude seems to be a different story.

[Muncle]

Thanx RCT,

Occasionally I think about how wonderful life would be if everyone were more like me --- did they do a Twilight Zone like that?

Actually, life's too short to take it all that seriously. However some people and organizations just aggravate you and every once in awhile, as my Brit and Irish friends would say, you just gotta take the **** out of 'em. Generally no harm done, since if you do it right, they won't understand.

[Lil Dancer]

There are things here that aren't perfect, but at least one person I know that used to post those imperfections, was banned from Talk of the Villages for being "too negative". So, draw your own conclusions. I am happy living here, but I too, think there is room for improvement.

[samhass]

I can't believe someone was banned for being "to negative". I think admin is very even handed on this site.
I think TV is a wonderful place made more wonderful by the people living here. I also think it is an engineering marvel and am amazed that Mr Morse had the intestinal fortitude to take on an undertaking of this size and scope.
No place is perfect but TV tries to come close.

[The Great Fumar]

Welcome to Shangri la

Been here five years and wouldn't be anywhere else...........
Eighty thousand people here and you get 8 negative comments...and those comments come from the same people who gripe everyday ...They go on and on about a dixie cup they once found on someone's driveway and and people who plant the wrong color flowers that doesn't match their houses....The Republican party knows what a neat spot this is and the Democrats are still trying to read a GPS............But enough about Politics ,
In Michigan we have a motto.. IF YOU SEEK A BEAUTIFUL PENNENSULA , LOOK ABOUT YOU.....
The man who wrote it obviously had never seen THE VILLAGES.....and as for the Morse's , their great folks who dreamed up this fabulous place......

Was that totally negative person banned? I wondered why my blood pressure had gone down.

Gotta love the good ole thought police.

[graciegirl]

WE are allowed to repeat rumors and gossip and I just heard through the grapevine that the person was not banned.

[Talk Host]

I am wracking my memory and I don't remember ever banning anyone for being too "negative." "Negative" is very subjective. We have not yet drawn any boundries on what is "negative' and what is not. It's not likely that we will. I think this rumon can be put to bed. About that, I'm "positive."

I am 34 and would not live anywhere else on EARTH~!! Talk about the younger side of things....

Come for a visit....you will never want to live anywhere else in the world!!

34? As in...three tens and four units? Spelled THIRTYFOUR?

[samhass]

I met Cassie for lunch yesterday. Yes, she is 34 and looks it. She is also witty and fun to be around. ;D She, hubs and my neighbor and I met @ Toojays and had a nice lunch. Nevermind that we have underwear as old as she is. She's pretty cool.
uhoh :cop: :cop: :cop: :cop:

There's not much wrong with TV except the last couple of days have been hot. I guess it gets hot in many places though.

[jadebox]

Close your eyes and picture red, green and yellow recycle bins sitting outside your neighbors house for days on end. Keep looking there are more on down the street. Pretty sight--I think not!!!! Keep bags for garbage and recycles!!!!

[samhass]

You are correct, hope. Some people are to darn lazy to bring them into the garage.

[Alex]

There is a club of about 100-150 people who have their homes up for sale who hate the Villages. There motto is -Not the Friendliest Hometown -about 100 have their homes up for sale so I went to look at one of the homes. That's all I know. This was last March. No official site, word of mouth.

"....who hate the Villages...." Are you sure of that? "Not the friendliest home town?" Are you sure of that. Is there a chance that these people just want to move because they want to? Is The Villages exactly right for everybody? If a person does not like the Villages, does that mean there is something wrong with them?

I can think of dozens of reasons why a person might have their home for sale and might want to live elsewhere. It troubles me to think that there is a mentality that if a person does not want to live here, there is something wrong with them. This isn't a religious commune, it's a housing development. It's wonderful here, but it's certainly not for everybody.

[islandgal]

:agree: :agree: :bigthumbsup:

[samhass]

If you look at the population of TV, that is a very small percentage indeed. May those 100-150 go forth and find their own paradise.

[BUC]

Red, Sorry but the Dems get all the the breaks, just listen to the nightly network news,cnn, msnbc. It's pretty much one sided. Noone should be banned from expressing their opinion, unless they disagree with me. (joking)

[samhass]

Buc, maybe you should only listen to Fox.
I do wish the TV newspaper was more balanced. Everyone seems to have an agenda.
Sheeesh!

[JohnN]

balanced is hard to find in politics - whether right or left.
Most people consider balanced if it agrees with their own thoughts.
I try to read carefully and reach my own conclusions.

I've lived in many places, none has been perfect. TV is pretty darned good.

Yes...34....and thank you my friend for saying I look it too! Personally Mrs. Sammhass I thought you were fabulous and I was so glad we met! However if the undies are that old my dear....honestly time to go shoppin' !! 1rnfl

Some of us are blessed earlier in life to live in such a wonderful, wonderful place! Think back to your 30's...wouldn't you have loved to live here!! Age means nothing to me....we are all humans and have our stories and can be here to share them....I may not have as many as you....but what better place to learn from those that are wiser and more experienced! Even if they are republican! ;) ;)

I was out this morning on my golf cart running my errands! As I was driving and taking in the views...I thought to myself that there is no where on earth that is more beautiful and breathtaking!

Plus I didn't wasted one dime on gas to get anywhere....went from Buffalo Ridge to LSL and met some of the nicest people along the way! From the owner of the new bakery (by the way they have the BEST bagels in town), the lady at Decor Galore who remembers me, knows what I have in my home from her shop and reccommends something new that might match up.....to the ladies at LSL mercantile....they treat you like royalty but at the same time their best friend in the world.

What more would ANYONE want??

[fizzbyn]

We love TV! We loved it from the minute we saw it on google earth, and even more when we visited. We bought on the 2nd visit. Our current next-door neighbors in Tucson went with us on the 1st visit and they are planning to move to TV too. Right after that, we got some new neighbors one house away and they moved here from TV! So we had them over to discuss everything, like why they moved. Well, they lived in AZ for a number of years before and they didn't like FL weather, they didn't like some little black bugs that invaded their home, and they didn't like the crowds especially in the winter. They thought their closing costs were horrible. I think they bought in 2006 or 2007. They didn't have much good to say about TV. We listened, and dismissed most of it. Our neighbors are still dying to move there, and we will move into our TV house as soon as this one sells, or sooner because we can't wait to be there.

Why would anyone say these things if they really wanted a prospective villager to buy their home? I really don't believe that there is such a "club," either official or unofficial.

We, incidentally had our home up for sale last March in order to move to another home IN THE VILLAGES.

Wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

Perhaps some people are always looking for something to complain about. :chillout:

[swrinfla]

Lone:

After all these answers (some of which are admittedly slightly off topic!), I think you may guess that what's wrong with TV is minor, minor, minor!

The small peeves that Red posted are reasonably common, but you've got to admit that they really are small in the overall scheme of things!

I am just telling you what the man told me. I agree, it sure isn't a good way to try to sell your house.!!!

[graciegirl]

I have gone from an ordinary "grown up lady" who always thought things through and made decisons slowly, to a sparkling eyed kid, who was dropped right into the middle of a toy store. And my husband who was even more QUIET is the same. I really didn't like Florida. Too hot, too plastic, too much of this, too much of that...............until when I entered the Villages to visit friends in January of this year.NOW I am counting the moments until we get down there in November. And, you, so many of you are part, actually most of the reason why I love THE VILLAGES, FLORIDA!!!!

Yes. It has difficulties. You get lost easily at first and the traffic circles are beasts. There are far too many beautiful ladies, far prettier than oneself and too many tempting things to eat.

You just answered the question... "what's wrong with TV?". My aching body is telling me what's wrong. The fact I didn't get to the clock tonight at 6pm is what's wrong. What's wrong is that at 58 I poop out before I can squeeze everything into my day that I want to. I could probably last if I was in my 30's.... but, like today, TV offered soooooo much to do and I tried to do it all... now I'm on the couch and hurt all over!

Oh my goodness...age has nothing to do with it...let me tell you that there are people here that can run circles around me. Rather they can dance and drink circles around me...then get up to golf in the morning!!

It is 11 pm at night and I am NEVER up this late. We happen to have friends in from out of town so I am just winding down. My life partner is 53.....we are in bed asleep everynight no later than 10pm....actually I am in bed and on the lap top....but the rest of the family is sound asleep....usually by 9pm.

I have a family...run two households....work a full time job....but love TV's and would live no where else on earth. I do not "party" like you 50+ people do....I have a hard time keeping up with all of you!!!
Forget the couch....go right to the bed!! LOL

My wife and I also have a few minor "gripes" about TV. #1 on my list is people who simply refuse to signal when coming off the rotaries. Maybe it was just a Maine thing but when you leave a rotary you signal your intention. #2 on my list and this is primarily for the guys. Most of us are 50-70 years of age. You were taught etiquette at one time. What happened? Take your Da#!% baseball cap off when entering someone's home, any building and especially when being seated at a table. I don't allow it in my home nor in public places with the kids/grandkids. #3 Is having to purchase bags to put recyclables in. We pay and do the work and the outfit that picks up the stuff gets the money for the cans, etc. What's up with that?
My wife's #1 gripe is people who park their golfcart at the shallow end of a parking spot. I don't like it either but I seldom drive the golfcart.
As I stated, very small "gripes" but you asked!!

Speaking of TOTV posters, I have noticed that many new members do not add to their profiles the places they previously lived. I, as many earlier members, always enjoy that.

Jerry, posting your real name on the internet could be dangerous.

As far as hats go - we've lost that battle. It has become acceptable to wear hats at all times. We may still request it in our own homes but you are going to see it more and more in restauants etc.

I think you can choose to do recycling or not. If you just use one non-clear bag the whole thing goes to the landfill - right? I like the bag idea better than containers since TV would be littered with containers not being brought back into the garage until many hours have passed. Or even worse some may leave them outside the garage all day, every day until it is time to bring them to the curb. We do that here in MA and it is unsightly, convenient yet but unsightly.

I agree with the rotary signals if you are not going straight through. But in some ways it doesn't matter since the person IN the rotary has the right of way anyway, just give them some leeway.

[The Great Fumar]

We have not lost that battle !!!!

A gentleman always removes his hat when entering a building....just as a gentleman always carries a handkerchief in his pocket.....Its called breeding , its called education, Its called Culture, You never see a military man wear his hat indoors or a police officer unless they are armed of course and then its regulation......But to not remove your hat at dinner is a sure sign of being a second class citizen who doesn't know any better..........

Fumar, I agree 100% with your sentiment but as far as the military, sorry to tell you but I was recently inside the Arizona monument in Hawaii and there were a dozen or more military both male and female and NONE of them removed their cover. When I mentioned to a colonel standing there, that the military used to teach in basic training to remove your cover indoors and in solemn places such as the Arizona burial site in respect, he looked at me like I was speaking martian. I guess times have changed and not for the better. I also believe it shows a complete lack of class and upbringing. :agree:

[rshoffer]

Thought of one! WVLG plays the same commercials over and over and over.... Grandma, how can I learn to play shuffleboard like you? :(

But they have paid a pretty penny to be on that channel with commercials....it sounds annoying at times....but I am amazed that TV's allows it in the first place!!!!

[Russ_Boston]

Fumar - We can agree to disagree without much further argument. But I will say that just because someone wears a hat indoors doesn't mean much to me. There may be many cultures where it is perfectly acceptable or even proper. I am certainly not going to judge someone based on whether their head is uncovered indoors. If you want to judge someone on that basis it is your prerogative. You might be missing out on meeting some really nice people based on an old held belief that is becoming passe. I've said my piece but I still respect your opinion.

Your future bald headed uncovered (indoors) friend - Russ

[Peachie]

Efrahin, I personally think bald men are very sexy :2cool:

[efrahin]

Nothing wrong with being bald, some people dont want to advertise. Vanity does not belong to women only.

[Peachie]

Vanity is a strange thing, the content of a man's soul is far more important than any hair he grows on his head. ;)

So there is nothing wrong with being bald in The Villages. (Thought I'd better get back on thread.)

[rshoffer]

Efrahin, I personally think bald men are very sexy :2cool:
That's the answer to why we mature adults wear our hats everywhere.... the hats hide our lack of hair!

Mr. Boomer would vote with Fumar. Mr. Boomer has a little of his thick curly hair, now white though, left around the edges. But the top of Mr. Boomer is just kind of fuzzy and wispy. And that's just fine with me. And Mr. Boomer would never ever wear a hat inside.

The only possible cloud over TV that I notice is the fact that many peeps are lousy drivers. Both cars and golf carts. And that probably includes me as I lurch around TV in Fireboy's standard SUV. I'm the one stalling at intersections. But I digress.
