I think I need an intervention
 
It's official, I am hooked on TOTV. I find myself 'visiting' my computer waaay too many times a day, just to see if there are any new posts. After checking the posts, I then go on to "THEVILLAGES.COM" just to look at all of the new listings, both new construction and pre-owned. It's gotten so bad, I turned the volume down on my speakers so my husband can't hear the Villages theme song...help!! :22yikes: The first step to getting help is recognizing you have a problem, upside to that is realizing that there is a solution...all it's going to take is to sell everything and retire...see you soon and keep the posts coming!

I've been "addicted" for 2.5 years... and you know what? I DON'T WANT ANY HELP with my addiction!! I don't think anyone can help me. I LOVE my addiction!! Just go with it. Relax and let it consume you. Let it take it's course and the solution will appear some day! I'm still a wanna'-be, gonna'-be as well.

I've been hooked for a long time and I don't want help. It's helped me preserve what sanity I have as a wannabee to hopefully a gonabee to frog.

It helps me feel connected to TV. :)

Yep. I have the TOTV bug too. I guess it is because I WANT OUT OF ILLINOIS.

Trish Crocker 07-23-2011 06:36 PM

whew...I'm relieved...so, you're saying it's perfectly normal to have a picture of the Villages as my wallpaper on my computer and my friends eyes glazing over when I start talking about moving?? Actually, I was kinda lyin...I don't want help either! ;)

Looks like enough people here to start a 12 step program.

Hello, my name is Bob and I have a problem.

Houston....we have a problem....Calling Dr. Phil....

Welcome to "The Club", Trish! :highfive:

Trish Crocker 07-23-2011 07:27 PM

reminds me of something funny I saw one day (and no, I'm not making fun of alcoholics..heck, I may be one someday)...anyway, I was passing a medical building with a bunch of people on the front lawn, sitting around in lawn chairs. Above their heads was a huge banner "ALCOHOLIC'S ANONYMOUS MEETING"...umm...kinda defeats the whole anonymous thing, doesn't it??? Hey..it appears that we have started another club (just what the Villages needs!)...TOTVA....Talk of the Villages Anonymous!

I hear you Trish....the only thing different from you and me is I don't have a husband in the house anymore that I need to turn down the speakers for....Oh and I also check on rentals on a continual basis. I'm still going through the buy or rent debate in my mind.....I am in the process of selling virtually everything I can at the moment. Not only will I retire when I move but I will start a whole new life!

I even have a CountDown Clock on my computer that keeps up with Months, Days, Hours, Minutes and Seconds until we turn into frogs. Glad to have TOTV to make this whole thing REAL! Otherwise, I would think it is just a dream!!

10 MONTHS 1DAY, 3HRS, 22 MINS AND 10 SECONDS and we are on our way! (the last of school)

Mine started several years ago. It developed into a nightly ritual. I , too, turn the sound off. Cannot wait to get the house sold and move to TV!
