It's time for the truth about The Villages. While I have not done a scientific study, we do go to the squares on a pretty regular basis. And I am quite sure our claim to fame must be that we have the highest volume of people with knee braces per capita of any city in the world (not just the US).

It's time the truth came out. And I for one cannot wait for the day when I tell someone I live in The Villages and they say, "Really?! I hear they have the highest % of knee braces in the world!"

The braces are cosmetic, they hide the scars from knee replacements.

TV also has the smallest number of baby showers and sales figures for purple shampoo are off the charts.

We could have a club for us left handers but no idea what we would do after the first meeting.

Knee braces come with ACTIVE seniors' lifestyle. It's a badge of honour in my book!

LOL Think Pickle ball, Softball, etc. Some activities here just aren't intended for seniors. It's not if you're going to get hurt but when. It's tons of fun but had a price.

Well Villagers are in the age bracket where arthritis becomes a significant health problem. Overweight people are straining their joints well beyond their capabilities and there is a majority of obese people here. Many of their health problems are self infected by over eating, not enough exercise and too much drinking. Poor choices in retirement.

How many times have you heard the big STD lie. People need to truly understand why msm and social media keep brainwashing the gullible people. Their motives unfortunately cant even be discussed here or on most social media. It's part of a much bigger evil cabal.

Doubt it. Vietnam draft ended in 1973. Unless there is a large influx of people born before 1955 there will not be an influx
