No worries angiefox10...I was reading through the threads today and they just struck me funny! I think of TV as such a wonderful place that sometimes I forget that real world issues exist there too.

Bombing practice all the time in the Ocala National Forest... pretty much as common as the train whistle!

The rally has already begun....scene from LSL.

Good one Bogie! And no two-fers on frozen margaritas. More discrimination. I'm calling the ACLU asap.

[justanormalgirl]

But you do have to be careful and watch out for the aliens human harvestors! Sweet dreams!

Is that why the squares start clearing out around 8 p.m? We always thought maybe that was bedtime...now I think it must be when the aliens start to appear and the Villages residents know it so they head home only to leave us visitors in the crowd to become alien fodder!

Didn't they sing "YMCA"?? And what dog poop issue? Could someone please elaborate?

[Figmo Bohica]

Don't forget, some of us are even licensed and do carry firearms. My, Oh ,My, what a wonderful place.

[2BNTV]

Old age is not for sissies. :1rotfl:

The reserving of seats in the squares for non-existent people issue.

One fanny in seat equals reserved. :)

I'm going into the CYA mode of operation and get all coverages including a buffalo stampede coming through the house. :)

[Turtlediver]

thank you for keeping them up to date on the import things.

[CaptJohn]

You're all looking at it wrong. Here's the bright side:

If you have a sinkhole then all you have to do is pour a reinforced concrete slab over it and you instantly have:

a bomb shelter from the Ocala Wars
a poop protector from hoards of the pooper devils
a tornado shelter
a multiple hurricane shelter
a lightning and thunderstorm shelter
place to hide your jewelry and gold
easy access to depleting water supply
no need to pay for excavation
safe (for neighbors) indoor target range
burial vault
hiding place from train whistles and public noise
quiet retreat
no ugly green boxes on the lawn
save money on sinkhole insurance

and probably a few things that haven't crossed my mind yet. Any more ideas?
:a040:

[Tom Hannon]

The seniors citizens are smarter than the youngsters. We build bomb shelters up because it is closer to heaven and easier to find our bodies if we do have a disaster.

That's why I pack a banana in my lunch. :)

All the digging and weight of the new constructions will shift the sinkholes and other problems down to that end.

So were all saved. Stuff runs down hill right?:)

That's right! We are on Tamarind Grove. Where are

They left out the part about the snakes...

Yes, living near a burrow of snakes helps a lot. Snakes are great. They eat the big rats and sometimes even a coyote.

[justanormalgirl]

SNAKES?? I can live with bombings, no golf cart, sink holes, alien abduction and a lot of things but snakes?? :faint: Oh no...no snakes...that changes everything! ;)

Google snakes in Florida. They be some really big ones here abouts. :coolsmiley::MOJE_whot:

[skyguy79]

Yes, living near a burrow of snakes helps a lot. Snakes are great. They eat the big rats and sometimes even a coyote.It's rumored that James Cagney would import snakes because he he hated the rats on his property.
That's why he was aledged to have coined the expression... "You dirty rat, you!!! http://www.dance-forums.com/images/smilies/icon_snake.gif

Small dogs too !

Small dogs too !

Uh oh...cold chills :cold:.....my little thread has taken an ugly turn. I have 2 small dogs and now I feel the need to show them this thread for full disclosure and allow them to be a part of our moving decision.

BRB.......




Well, they say they won't play with the snakes and I can make them little tin foil hats to keep the aliens away. :)

So......all is well again and we're back on track! :D

Hubby says, "Underground railway to your neighbors home or the next village in case you have to escape from whatever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Cave diving via the water supply

We feel much much better about the whole thing now ! Burial vault is good.

That's one of the reasons I don't fear sink holes. I'm a certified cave diver and certified cavern diver instructor. Many of the sink holes in this area of Florida have opened up some of the best cave diving sites in the world. One person's "finanacial calamity" could be another person's financial gold mine.

All kidding aside, for an amazing view of what these sink holes can uncover, see: Devils Den Springs Scuba Diving Resort (http://devilsden.com/)

[skyguy79]

Small dogs too !In that case you can probably get Fumar Funding Corp. to finance the snake relocation expenses. :doggie:

BEAUTIFUL PLACE if you are really into cave diving etc.

Have you seen the movie "SANCTUM" ????????
3-D action film re caves in the South Pacific.....Esa-ala Caves.

Nail biting journey down and out............we saw it last year & then bought our son a DVD of same movie "Sanctum". Amazon.com has it.

Our son took scuba diving to be certificed (in Colorado of all places) and took groups off the coast of Mexico, etc. Hubby believes he also did cave diving.

Yes, I enjoyed Sanctum very much (have it saved on my DVR).

I have been a scuba instructor for 20 years and I basically took it up to help subsidize my cave diving addiction. North Central Florida offers some of the best cave diving in the world. I worked as a scuba instructor in Belize, the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, and Panama but one of the things that helped convince me to move to TV was the proximity to all the great cave systems (which are usually accesed through sink holes).

Enough of my hijack--what really scares me are some of the line dancers in Spanish Springs town squares--whatever you do, don't get in their way!:icon_wink:

[happyinthevillages]

Ut OH! Wait for it......? BOOM! kapow@! Dog pooped in my yard! must of been those Ocala peoples??: :a040:

Interesting, I've been meaning to ask you how you could give up diving by being so far inland. I would like to have a go at cave-diving when I am there full time.

Check out Ginnie Springs, Devil's Den and Blue Grotto. They all have cave-like environments but do not require specialized training. If you enjoy those, definitely get the proper training to check out the cave systems here.
