Gracie, yes you are quite correct, I meant Sanibel not Springdale.

Correct, Shcisamax!
My view is not my neighbors responsibility!

What guy are you referring to that did the bashing?

The guy that got bashed was the neighbor of Happinow, and Happinow is a woman.
This whole thread is pretty sad for that whole neighborhood, IMHO.

Reread and now understand which "he" you meant. Sorry!

Gustavo--great research and great post!

Could you explain what you meant? I don't quite understand.

And welcome to the forum. Tell us a little about yourself. Are you new to The Villages or just to the forum?

Whoa mickhugs, your first post is a shot at Gracie. How about coming out from behind the hedges and tell us about yourself.

Gee ...funny ...I took that post as a compliment to Gracie that she always has the right outlook on things. Amazing how we all see things differently. That is why there is so much difficulty with these darn forums. Without the body language and intonation, it is difficult to know when someone is sincere or sarcastic or taking a swipe or just being factual.

I see you've been a member since 2008, and this is your first post. Welcome to posting. I think you're right, we can all benefit from GG's wisdom. However Happinow just built, so I'm sure she doesn't want to sell up and move quite yet. Although the "average" Villager does move three times, reportedly.

I think we're all hoping this situation will be resolved amicably, the shrubs will be maintained at four feet, and peace will prevail.

I don't believe there was any ill intention or compliment purposely intent in the post. I believe think it was just an off the wall comment to inject a little humor and was not meant to be offensive. Just my opinion!

Mickhugs, welcome on the occurrence of your first post on TOTV and don't wait another 3 years plus for your next one!

ITA, I took it as a compliment to Gracie and a dig at Happi. IMO GG always gives sane advice

I also think that if this BS is going to make Happi mental, she should think about moving.

Wow, you're a bit harsh--easy to say if it's not your home that you just put your $$$, heart and sole into setting up.

Harsh? I'm thinking more like "realistic" based on my own experience. I don't put my heart and soul into "things" anymore, been to way too many estate sales to do that one.

Grant it, some people thrive on aggravation, I'm not one of them. I'm also not a control freak, I think there is only one thing you can control, your own attitude, not your neighbor, not even fate.

In the past ten or so years I have had my home totally destroyed by lightning (great view still), I lost 5 house pets (4 burned alive in the fire), 3 horses, my 56 year-old sister died last Christmas after spending 5 years in a nursing home from a stroke induced coma. Let's put the shrubs in perspective.

You know what I've learned from all this-Enjoy today, you don't know what tomorrow will bring or what it will take away.

Ever see a moving van folowing a hearse?

I am sorry for your loss and the statement about "putting the shrubs in perspective" is certainly one we can all be reminded of. As I said previously, 90% of the world's population could not even imagine all that we have in our country, and certainly not here at TV. Have a good day, all!
