Help me here, let's poke a little fun at the wonderful new folks joining us every day here in this wonderful place. ADD something...and to the new people. We love you and we are glad you are here and it seems like only yesterday it was us...and in some cases it was...

How you can identify a new Villager.

Their golf cart is parked to the side of the path and they are looking at a map.

They wear "out to dinner" clothes out to dinner.

The girls still have long hair and have not yet got the "golf cart short hair cut".

Jump in Y'all.

I can see this will be of great help for when we do move there! I don't want to stick out like a soar thumb too much.

"How to you get to_____(fill in the blank)??? Just the other day someone was asked..."how do you get to Brownwood?

[kittygilchrist]

haha! Gracie, I'm about to be new in TV and recently during a month of renting at TV, I parked the golf cart on the path while collecting the beautiful red seed pods on koontie plants. It was clear that this was not normal behavior because other carts kept pausing to ask if I was OK. I realize now that having others see me bent over in the bushes might not be the best way to introduce myself!

You can tell by the women who have rope burns on their wrists from being tied up by their husbands to keep them from going out and spending all their money... or visa-verse!

Their legs and bald spots are lacking a good tan.

AGREE! No matter how tanned you are when you arrive, you are not Florida tanned, but you will be.

They speed through the yield sign on the roundabout without slowing down and without even looking.

They complain about the heat on a cool 80 degree day.
Or, on a really cold Florida day, they say, "Cold? This ain't cold. Why, back home this would be......."

Great.

The really new ones are the ones who don't even have checks (so yesterday).

[Russ_Boston]

"How do you get back to Morris blvd?"

or

"How late is SumPter landing open?"

Either that or they come to a complete stop at the traffic circle waiting for a light to turn green.

Making a left hand turn from the center lane from Morse or Buena Vista onto 466 or 466a. I have seen this so many times I thought is might be a new Florida driving law that I was unaware of. I have found only one or two intersections that allow for two lane let turns.

Yup, guilty as charged last Feb. Except the checks part. But the map looking and the dining clothes, ding, ding, ding! You got me.
