How you can spot new owners in The Villages.

[graciegirl]

Thought I'd revive this old thread.


I will start;

They wear fancy clothes out to dinner.

Your turn.............

[dewilson58]

Driving around with a Villages map.

[bonrich]

Round-a-bouts!!!!!

[Chatbrat]

Waiting 5 minutes to make a turn

[Nucky]

They look nervous and tired and have empty pockets!:1rotfl:

[alemorkam]

They are at the squares every night.

[manaboutown]

They are still pale or sunburned and not yet deeply tanned.

[Papa]

They are friendly, courteous, and don't complain.

[HimandMe]

They remind us why we first bought here and are a delight to see.

[fromHHDS]

They wait till 6pm to start drinking

[redwitch]

They're speechless when you stop to offer assistance and oh so grateful.

[Taltarzac725]

Brand new Gators baseball caps and shirts. Go Gators!!

[Janetn]

I happen to be looking to buy. I am kind caring and do not believe anyone should criticize anyone, live and let live.

No one is being critical. We have all been newbies and can relate to every comment made. Someday you will look back, laugh and remember what it was like to be a new resident. Enjoy your new home.

[CFrance]

They have someone knocking at their door with a trailer full of huge palm trees.

[Ron_Ski]

Every other word is WOW! At least it was for me.

Janet. Not meant to poke fun, but to have fun. We all see ourselves in this. We were all so happy and full of enthusiasm and we sort of stand out because of it. Welcome home girl.

[graciegirl]

Many brand new folks are spending a lot of time buying accessories that look beachy or Florida-y.

[2BNTV]

Usually grinning, from ear to ear. :D

[RickeyD]

Two shopping carts filled with home accessories at Walmart.

This is a fun thread, not critical in the least. We've all been exactly where you are, and welcome you! We probably all feel nostalgic for the first days when we moved to The Villages. Everything was bright and beautiful, like a shiny new penny.

[TVMayor]

New owners arms are not yet long enough to reach the card scanner at the gate.

[buzzy]

Boy is that true. We actually had our credit card denied by the bank for the second large Walmart purchase on the same day.

Yep, clerk said it happens all the time. We called the bank at the checkout to get it cleared.

[ConnieNonnie]

Walking out of McLinn & Burnsed after their closing!

[Chi-Town]

New owners arms are not yet long enough to reach the card scanner at the gate.
Funny and true. [emoji6]

[sunset seeker]

Am anxious to find out! We will be down in a couple weeks to start getting things in order for the actual move around 7/22. Was that 6:00 am or pm on that drinking part???? :-) Thanks for the welcome Grace!!

Your turn.............

And the women all still have good haircuts.:welcome:

[ukbill70]

Their still in bed at 7am and awake after 9:30pm.

[joldnol]

they wave at everybody....(I still do and have been here 20 months)

[joldnol]

Brand new Gators baseball caps and shirts. Go Gators!!

Boooooo.....Go Noles!

[jnieman]

This is so funny. Sometimes I have anxiety and when we first moved here I was so anxious about using those card readers. I always would drive up there, have to unfasten my seat belt, lean over and sometimes end up dropping it in between the seats and have to push the button. It was a nightmare. Now I can do it so easily that I wonder why I ever had a problem doing it.

[Jim 9922]

Go to the Squares for a Rocky And The Rollers performance and expect to find an open seat. (or at least one unreserved):a040:

[TVMayor]

And the women all still have good haircuts.:welcome:
I can see what you're saying.

[Bay Kid]

All smiles!

:wave: this is just a funny, gentle, tongue-in-cheek kind of thread.....I got a giggle out of the being so grateful for someone to help us with directions one. I was lost in my golf cart after I moved here, and a man in his golf cart actually had me follow him out to the multimodal path! I'll never forget it.

[cquick]

I still giggle when I see someone frantically waving the card around at the card reader. Just hold the darn thing still already!

[upstate]

We must be missing something, we don't go to sleep early and don't wake up early. Plus, we like to go out to dinner dressed up at times. After three years you'd think we would get it right, maybe next year will be the charm.

[justjim]

Couples are new when you see them holding hands as they circle the square looking in the doors and windows of the various stores.

[2BNTV]

They leave the squares after 9 PM. :D

[Yucatan2]

They drive around looking at every Recreation Center and Country Club, at least we did!

[ColdNoMore]

They are not rude and in a hurry to get back to doing nothing in their retirement.

[Loudoll]

Mock on, everyone! Mock on.

[mscocco]

They still try to pull into parking spaces with their cars only to find that it's occupied by a single golf cart - Curses!
