And why are we complaining here???
 

We are fortunate....many weren't. Remember, count your blessings.

I haven't heard anyone in my neighborhood complaining.

We are very thankful that we only felt a very weak Irma.

I'm not sure, but was thinking she meant the TOTV neighborhood.

And why are we complaining here???

Probably because complaining is the #1 pastime on TOTV, and since all the golf courses are closed it's even worse.

:ohdear::shocked:

Some people would complain if you hung them with a new rope.

I did....;). I"m sure it's a tension release for many, but goodness!

So true....:clap2::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Complaining----reminds me what my good friend Ron, RIP, use to say: "Jim, I could pull into a driveway with a million dollars for them and they would complain that I was driving a ford pickup instead of a chevy".

a few "Food for thought" things...

What I don't get is the constant complaining about things that have absolutely zero effect on the complainer.
Complain about people eating out instead of eating their hurricane stash, complain about people who travel faster than you in a golf cart, complain about The Villages not opening shelters (when you have no idea of government protocol for doing such)...
If something I do irritates you but has zero repercussions on YOU, then shut up and mind your own business. Stop worrying about what "could happen" and worry about yourself.

Is that a complaint about complainers?

:shrug:

Having our home flattened or flooded is the reason I will never live near the ocean or any body of water for that matter. It is very risky to have that gorgeous ocean view.

This is why we live in the interior part of the state.

I love it. AND I am thinking what a great person you are Joyce.

Have been reading about them...but they need to call someone that can help...like their insurance company. Right now there are greater needs, sadly, though when we have an issue, no matter what, it can seem horrific. All I'm hoping for is for everyone to put things in perspective. They are alive, they have shelter, some have power, some don't. Many of us who grew up dealing with hurricanes know and recognize that clean up and utility restoration takes time. We have absolutely no idea what is damaged, where and when crews can get in to remedy the situation. Alas, outages are triaged I believe....and the greater need is handled first. Probably the same for roof leaks. Will pray for no rain....quite a change from what we normally might have to do. It can't hurt and it might help.

And that's my opinion....:)

Here's one for you all....someone was complaining to her house-cleaner BECAUSE she could show up on Monday!!! Meaning....this past Monday!!!

I don't get it, wish I did. I'm not complaining [emoji137]🏼*♂️

I wonder how hardened the infrastructure is that a weak Cat1 cause so much havoc.
I did not realize that the purpose of the golf courses was to protect the houses....
So the golf courses are secondary?
Then should property owners who are protected by golf courses have a higher CDD amenity fee?
Or do all properties in TV drain into the courses?
I've only been a resident here 3 weeks and only played golf twice...

What havoc ???

Bogie. TELL ME. Patience Grasshopper. I need to hear it.

Just another day on ToTV.

This is awesome. Read the poem from top to bottom then from bottom to top.
This was written by a 14 year old!

Found on The Writer's Circle page on Facebook

Boom!! :mademyday:

this song says it all!

Wasn't that much havoc here in TV compared to areas out south and east of us. We dodged a major bullet by it shifting to the east slightly. The ponds/golf courses were designed to take the water they did and keep the homes from having water in them (pretty good planning, I'd say). Doesn't make the courses secondary; can you imagine the amount of BITCHING if the courses had been dry and the homes flooded? All properties typically drain to a street which eventually drain into the retention ponds/environmental areas (some on golf courses, some not), so no, golf course property owners shouldn't be required to pay a higher amenity fee. In your 3 weeks here, you've probably been busy, take some time off to play - once the courses get dry. Welcome.........

My thoughts exactly....perhaps some of those folks need to start making a grateful list for each day.

1. I woke up
2. I'm blessed to live in this country
3 I'm blessed to have what I have
4. Grateful for the people in my life

You could make it as long as you want and do it each day then maybe you won't complain and find LIFE to be so negative!

Amazes me to we bought in a great place, most everything we need is a golf cart ride away,the grounds are well taken care of. Yet a storm hits there's no shelter, the yard waste isn't picked up yet, I Can't play golf, they put a surcharge on my water, the food at the restaurants stinks, they raised the price of drinks at happy hour, I Can't get gas geez. I'll bet the people that lost everything , still don't have electric, don't know where their next meal is coming from etc. Would be more then happy to trade places with us. I think anyone who's so upset and unhappy with the way this place is run or managed should look else where as I'm quite sure you could sell your house real quick. I count my self lucky as he'll. Lost a few shingles a few br-anches off my Palm tree,-and had to clean up the yar1d and the lanai. Gee -what a bitch.
Ok waiting for the comments.
