Oh, But I digress..
 
TOTV peeps. Let's do the two things we do best. Tell stories and hijack threads! :posting: I'll start:

My friend and I were walking along the dock area at LSL (which I love because it looks like my favorite marina in Key West) when I turned suddenly and my flip flop..oh, that reminds me. Did I tell you that

hollander 01-29-2014 07:56 AM

Oh yes flip flops.... that reminds me of our congressman, who I saw yesterday with a much younger woman. Speaking of feeling younger.....

CarolSells 01-29-2014 08:26 AM

Well, just between you and me, of course, my neighbor heard that our other neighbor was fooling around with a younger guy who works for one of the landscaping companies which is really a front for gigiloes. So I guess that if you drive a gray truck

hollander 01-29-2014 08:37 AM

Well our neighbor, who between you and me, seems to live above his means, bought a new gray truck. Just yesterday he got a recall notice for his new truck and we could hear his wife yell at him that she wished that she would get a recall notice for him! speaking of recall.. I can't seem to recall where my

iPhone went. I was going to use it to try to get my car keys back from the last swinger party I went to, where I ended up with someone's husband from Bonnybrook... or was it Winnigred? But I seem to have lost them when he brought me home, and now i don't even remember where the car is.

I really need to find these before my husband...

CarolSells 01-29-2014 08:54 AM

remembers where his bicycle is. Oh, wait, that was the punch line to a story our minister told us, and, let me tell you, that guy is chock full of human interest stories. It's always interesting to me to see my fellow humans

angiefox10 01-29-2014 09:26 AM

Getting back on topic of flip flops... Did I tell you about the new top I saw at Chico's in Spanish Spring? Matched my.... Oh wait... I'm pretty sure it was a store in LSL...

CarolSells 01-29-2014 09:48 AM

Yes, I was talking about the incident with my flip flop at LSL. So, anyway, someone's visiting spawn-of-the-devil grandchild (well I'm not sure but he looked like he was recently out of rehab) called out

hollander 01-29-2014 10:02 AM

called out " I am the one who stole your eight knobs!!!" Me and the Mrs were confused.. but got to thinking, maybe this has something to do with the sound system at our neighborhood pool which by the way is way too

CarolSells 01-29-2014 10:19 AM

way too loud and in fact, is soooo loud, that it distracts drivers in the nearby round-about and causes them to forget to blow their horns before they suddenly cut off the car in the lane next to them! Speaking of distracted

Love2cruise 01-29-2014 11:17 AM

Speaking of distracted, I was enjoying my glass of wine on my lanai & imagine my kissing lanai neighbors were on their lanai enjoying life and I took my glass of wine and

CarolSells 01-29-2014 11:57 AM

I took my glass of wine and headed in the direction of their lanai to join them. Just then, a guy selling meat from his car rounded the corner of my house! He had pork chops in one hand and, in the other,

hollander 01-29-2014 11:07 PM

in the other, he was holding six skinned Citrus Rats that are so easy to trap in the Villages. Now anyone who knows my family knows that I love to grill so the pork chops will be for me and the rats for my visiting mother in law. Speaking of mother in laws, my neighbor was sitting out on his lanai talking to his mother in law on the phone today, and of course the Mrs and me could hear every detail, and he told her, and I swear this is true, that he saw in the villages today a...

jblum315 01-30-2014 05:15 AM

that he saw in the villages today a man driving a tank - a real tank with howitzers

CarolSells 01-30-2014 06:07 AM

Holy howitzer, jblum! Grilled rats in The Villages? How come the feral cats don't eat the citrus rats? So I'm wondering, are tank tops

hollander 01-30-2014 07:40 AM

I saw that tank! I was outside installing our new security system and he drove right by our house! Now the odd thing is that on the back of that tank was a " I'm Ready For Hillary" bumper sticker! I wonder does that mean he is for Hillary or against? Well I gotta run, every day the neighbor lets his dog out and I have to make sure it doesn't poop in my yard!

Love2cruise 01-30-2014 08:19 AM

You should think twice about not letting that dog poop in your yard, I would start collecting it and on trash day I would put at the very top of my closed bag and when the trash thieves come

kittygilchrist 01-30-2014 09:03 AM

pick through my trash? Oops, I let my bad dog out...sorry about your leg, trash picker, but there is a bad dog sign in the window. Hey did you hear the one about the Senile Love Valentines Party? I heard they were planning to...

graciegirl 01-30-2014 09:10 AM

distracted. Oh yes. I think that this knob stealing is Freudian. I read a book once with good recipes for chowder.

CarolSells 01-31-2014 07:33 AM

Ah, yes, chowder, I was trying to eat my chowder at a restaurant the other evening (the one at Brownwood with the name that rhymes with Witty Hire) when a couple came inside to the hostess podium. They were either looking for a table for dinner or a place to board the dog she was carrying. They turned and walked out which was great because it saved me from lodging a complaint. I'm starting a twelve step group for

trying to be patient with moderators who pick up your post and put it down somewhere where it makes no sense, I think some of their knobs are missing. Which reminds me of where did I put my glasses. How do we choose glass frames that make us look young and sexy instead of

CarolSells 01-31-2014 07:59 AM

I'm also having a problem finding frames that don't make me look like one of those "boys don't make passes at girls who were glasses" girls. Who could show up at the Singles Valentine's party looking like that? Actually, I was planning on wearing only

hollander 01-31-2014 08:50 AM

wearing only my heart on my sleeve. I am feeling hopeful for this Valentines Day! I heard from my neighbor Bernie, that I could swap my wife if I dressed her in a light blue shirt. Well I dressed her in a light blue shirt, with matching shoes, and set her on a folding chair in the driveway. I have not had anyone stop by yet but the Mrs does smile at all the passing cars like I told her to. If that doesn't work I can throw in a couple of Bingo Tickets. Yesterday I managed to get over 40 tickets by being first in line. A old man like me can get a surprising number of favors from the ladies with those tickets! Well I gotta run I think I heard someone honk at the Mrs. Hmmmm where are my flip flops

That blue shirt idea must have worked, I caught Sweetie going out for golf in a blue shirt and I told him if he tried to wear one again people would think he was a bowler, which reminds me......

Nlnicholson 01-31-2014 09:53 AM

Of what my Daddy told me ...Getting strikes is like lining up a great date, you need a smooth approach and terrific follow through. Ohhh, man, are there any crop circles in this cornfield? Lemme outta here!!!

kittygilchrist 01-31-2014 10:08 AM

It was like a maize in that cornfield! I was lost for hours, yelling for help till my voice was husky and my ears were ringing. I'd give anything for a good meal, like kernel Sanders, even a stalk of celery...
and then I heard..

Didn't taste too good, but it sure did soak up a lot of gravy. Now that gravy train...

Tell him if at first you don't succeed, try, try again

Nlnicholson 01-31-2014 12:42 PM

If at first you don't succeed, give up. No use being a damn fool...

Nlnicholson 01-31-2014 01:41 PM
