I find these studies fascinating. I read one about the criminal mentality that asserted that criminals really do believe there was justification for their acts and that they are the ones being persecuted.

Actually it reads "Honestly Now, What's Your Hurry? You're Here!"

I have been there many times...

You should have bought up north by Nancy Lopez, there is no big traffic or congestion even in high season and you could easily go to restaurants in Belleview and Ocala that are less crowded with TV snowbirds.

It is like fishing. You find one and you are infested with all the others. We used to play a game. We would catch a fish, they wiuld all climb up my ....... and we would go to where they were and catch another one.

IF, YOU FIND A QUIET PLACE ANYWHERE AROUND HERE DON'T TELL ME BECAUSE I WILL BE THERE.

We heard the gripes about working out and eating out. If you notice many times those working out are there in the morning and eating at the prime time of 5 -5:30. I would think that you would see your problem and move to a different time. Never have a problem of getting a table anywhere between 6:30 - 7. Not once have we had a problem getting on a weight machine in the afternoon. You have to be flexible to have a happy life.

that is so true. Learn to be flexible and slow down. Being retired is more fun that way.

Gracie, here is a person who agrees with you.

"I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.'
– Martha Washington

We have lived here for 14+ years, experiencing TV growing from just over 30,000 to now well over 100,000.

If it were not for the growth much of the national branding that has located here would not have done so.

The strategic de-centralization of villages, mailboxes, rec centers, regional rec centers, golf courses, shopping centers, et al, all contribute to convenience.

For us the life style has done nothing more than improve.

Totally disagree with OP assessment.
