The Villages Phobia??
Do any of you suffer from this, even a little bit? I do just a little. But I've learned to manage it to a comfortable level. What is it?
When I first moved here and started making some friends, we often talked about how much there is to do in TV. And of course how we only did a relatively small number of things compared to how much is available. Why weren't we doing more! Well, I and one of my very best friends in TV (God rest his wonderful, funny soul) gave that worrisome nagging feeling a name...The Villages Phobia. So if there are more of you out there, maybe we should start a club. Wouldn't that be perfect?!? We could call it the "We Should Do More" club. Or possibly just "The Village Idiots?!? Come on. Fess up. Last edited by Polar Bear; 10-28-2020 at 10:56 AM. |

Interesting
I have a number of things to do once we feel more comfortable being around others and clubs reopen for activities. |

Mainly due to your reference to sparring and debating over politics, I would bet at least a nickel you’re referring to Richard. We were political opposites and best of friends. That is not usually likely, but with Richard it was easy. I still think about and miss him a lot. |

I too have a special friend, even tho we are as far as can be politically as possible. Even when we totally disagree. However the next day we are best buddies again. Calling to see if the other needs something. Sadly most can’t do that. Even families go different directions because of pride. Folks, isn’t it time to grow up! A great friend is hard to find. Don’t major on the minor and minor on the majors! Life is too short

PB and GG, you two are so right!! It’s so easy to carry on a relationship with people, no matter the difference in political or religious beliefs. The key is to keep the focus on the issue and not make it personal. I find most people want to go directly to name calling and putting themselves and their beliefs in the one-up position when in disagreement about social and political issues. You both seem to have a value for respect, which is the thing that is missing in interactions today. PB, I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. I pray you rejoice in the beautiful moments you both shared.
I wish you both the best this life has to offer. Stay safe. |

Was that Richard who gave away lemons and limes, sometimes juiced? He was one of the first to use the last word of his screen name for his wife--Mrs. Trap. It always made me laugh.
