I am sick and tired of you villagers`

[eweissenbach]

talking about your beautiful weather, heated swimming pools, entertainment on the squares, golf courses, flitting about in your golf carts, having fresh seafood on the Lanai, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum. :cold:

Here in northern Missouri we have 10 inches of beautiful white powder and everything looks like a Currier and Ives scene (Currier and Ives never stepped foot in Florida btw). I just finished an hour and a half of shoveling that beautiful white stuff with four foot drifts and I never felt more alive. At least I am sure I will feel great when the advil kicks in. As Nitsche said "that which does not kill you makes you stronger". I never felt stronger and it didn't kill me, though my doctor warned me that next time it might.

So keep your flowers, your cart paths, your recreation centers,
your "friendliest hometown" and all that. I am glad I don't have to live where snow shovels are not in the inventory of any store, and rock salt is used only to make homemade ice cream. Oh, I know, you are all jealous and want to know the name of a good local realtor, but no way will I share that information. We want to keep this paradise to ourselves. Good luck with your suntan -- creeps. :loco:

Hey ED,

Sounds soooo good!!!!

Watch out not to get trampled by the influx of ex-Villagers coming at your neighborhood.

Can your streets handle the traffic!:laugh:

p.s. bet your snow plowing's not free like in T.V.

I have to agree with eweissenbach, we were getting pretty sore with all the golfing and we were afraid we might be getting too much sun at the pool. So we drove to Virginia to enjoy the 12" of snow for Christmas. I have no idea why we saw thousands of cars going the other way.

On the other hand our Realtors' name is Strong Team Realtors. Call them for a great price.

[Irish Rover]

Eweissenback - you are right on. I'm over here in St. Charles, MO enjoying about an inch and a half of powder (?) thinking those poor people in TV are really missing something. Then I came to my senses and continued to pack the car for our departure for TV on Wednesday. Can't wait.:MOJE_whot:
Happy New Year and stay warm.

Why do you bother to come on site?

[REH7380]

eweissenbach..We are really happy that you are happy. That risk of heart attacks from shoveling is not important. That higher risk than normal for accidents, (car, slipping, etc.) are just a nuisance. That you have some restrictions from exploring the countryside because of road hazzards. That you may have to read by candle light or rely on some static radio to tell you what life is like. BEEN THERE DONE THAT...
Does this sound familiar: "a psychological defense mechanism in which confrontation with a personal problem or with reality is avoided by denying the existence of the problem or reality"
Definition of denial..:yuck:

[784caroline]

eweissenbach..we are also from the north but we were luckly enough to take avantage of the Bill Biilboard sign on 441 (near the post office turn off at Rte 25)that offers Guaranteed Free Snow Removal for the life of your home ownership. I know that sign is not for the Villages but we brought that to the attention of our Villages salesperson and they included it in our contract! Who says they are not flexible!!! Let it snow, let it snow..we are ready!

Champ,
That was hysterical. I laughed out loud when you were 'freezing to death' in your own living room. Six inches of snow last week made me wonder why my wife and I left TV two weeks ago and drove back to NJ.

I think eweissenbach was kidding.
Lighten up people.:laugh::laugh::laugh:

[ijusluvit]

I feel also feel cheated not to be somewhere in Missouri. I'm back in Buffalo for the holidays. Green grass, not even flake. Guess I'll have to go south.

We all know what people who come to The Villages for the winter are called............................................ .....

Snowbirds!

Some of us know that people who come to The Villages for the winter, but go back north for Christmas are called............................................ .....


Grandparents!!!

[punkpup]

I wholeheartedly agree!!!!

I'm so thrilled with winter weather in the Northeast that I wrecked my work truck in last weeks blizzard and white out conditions on Route 128 in Waltham, MA! :eek: The van is a total loss; the frame is bent, the front end is stove in and the engine is practically in the passenger compartment. The airbag never deployed but the seat belt held me securely in place well enough for me to feel like a rag doll flung about in a dog's mouth. Luckily I'm not too badly injured! I'll be on light duty for another week.

I can't wait for our February vacation in TV!!!

[BAILYBOOHOO]

Joke lol Who would enjoy the snow and shoveling :D I can't wait until my husband retires and we get to join in on the fun .Last time we were up that way it was really nice just watching eveyrone dance and having a nice time.:smiley:

I agree Whalen. I think eweissenback was just doing a tongue in cheek. Lighten up peeps! :laugh:

I enjoyed the post. Thought it was humorous and creative....

I laughed so hard I could hardly make it past Dec 24!
Thanks!

[cologal]

I am a snowbird but was forced to leave TV and head west for Christmas...family. Everyday I check the temp here in CO vs TV. I am not happy, luckily my internment ends in less than a week. Now if they would just turn the heat back on.

[graciegirl]

Of course you are right once again.

I hate when people can't see that someone is being funny. sigh.

[Army Guy]

We know the feeling! Me and the Mrs went to see my parents up in NJ and got there the day of the bizzard. We were the last plane out of Atlanta headed North, all others cancelled.
Sunday we spent 2+ hours shoveling 2 feet of snow for my parents. Since I married an Alabama girl, I had to teach her had to shovel it as she had never shoved snow before. Plus, all she had was high heeled boots so here she is shoveling in high heels! She only "busted" it once, and no I didn't laugh......RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait to get back to TV this week!

[tpop1]

Lots of satire from the north....

As novelist Leo Rosten says: “Satire is focused bitterness.”

"Come on down" - Anita Bryant said that!

[elevatorman]

Just curious, does the ammenity fee cover snow removal? My sales agent said he was not sure. I told my wife she would not have to shovel any more snow.

[logdog]

After extensive (NOT) research, it appears that the amenity fee only covers snow removal in the squares and common areas. However, as a public service and for a small annual fee, I will insure your driveway remains clear of snow for as long as you live in TV.

[Bob S]

ijusluvit,
I hope that you made it back to TV before the cold weather hit Buffalo. We also enjoyed the warm weather and green grass up until 12/28.

We then got a blast of snow and cold weather. Only about 5inches in Amherst but the southtowns fared worse.

We leave for TV about Jan.15, weather permitting. Can't wait!

[champion6]

Thanks, DugCave!

[Dirigo]

It's like living in a snow globe here in Maine this weekend. It is supposed to snow Fri-Sat-Sun. Good grief!

I find myself singing TV theme song in my head all the time lately.

Those of you who are living in TV, the rest of us envy you.

[champion6]

Both DugCave and I have had our posts deleted. Mine was a fictitious diary of a snow shoveler and DugCave's was about the heat in Arizona. They are both gone.

Talk Host and/or Tony, please advise.

[tony]

I removed the posts. We really try to stay away from those items that are circulated to death and cut and pasted all over the internet.

We try hard to keep the forum original.

[F16 1UB]

I had to allow the truck to melt the ice off the windows, seemed to have trashed my scrapers after moving to the warm and friendly climate of TV, so I could hook the boat up and go bass fishing this morning. And another thing, I had to wear deck shoes instead of sandals. It's so coooold this morning. Now if I could only remember what I did with the sunscreen.

Life is good!

[debzaranti]

He's just joking. I thought it was hilarious!

We try hard to keep the forum original.LOL That's news to me and I've been a member for about a year. I would ask if you're kidding, but obviously you're not because the messages are gone.

I'm disappointed because I was actually looking for DugCave's message about Arizona so I could send it to relatives who just purchased a home there. They would have enjoyed it!

Your statement got me thinking... If this rule is enforced across all of TOTV, it essentially eliminates all the original messages in the Just For Fun section. I might be wrong, but I don't think TOTV has comedians who are writing there own material. The messages in Just For Fun appear to be copied/pasted from the Internet.

Thanks for listening, Tony.

Carry on.

[DugCave]

I posted Dry Heat originally about two years ago. I copied
and pasted it in a reply to the shoveler. I sincerely thought the readers would get a kick out of it. Its your show and you have the power to REGULATE
what gets posted. I am somewhat disappointed.

[champion6]

Thanks, DugCave. I found your previous post of Dry Heat and sent it to my Arizona relatives. Mission accomplished. I can hardly wait for their reply! :clap2:
