We really love the snowbirds, right?

They pay for 12 months and only use 3 or 4 of them and let us use the rest.I think they are the most generous people I have ever met. Thank Snow Birds and welcome back to TV.

We are brand new and we've met the nicest people everywhere we go! Most are returning snowbirds. They have taught us so much.

I agree 100 percent with this.

Who ever decided for the whole community that snowbirds were to be treated as "outsiders", and that "insiders" (frogs)--afraid of traveling and being flexible about where/how they live for 6-8 months--are somehow superior citizens??

If not for "snowbirds", TV would never have formed and grown beyond the ambience of a mobile home park.

And why do some frogs want to create division instead of unity with over half the TV population? A lot of us left that kind of prejudice behind in the northeastern-most states. Don't want to go back to that thinking!

Actually Snow"flakes" are even better. Interesting to me that some seem to think they have more "rights" to be here than others.. pretty stupid.

Thumbs down Not sure who you're referring to...

"and that "insiders" (frogs)--afraid of traveling and being flexible about where/how they live for 6-8 months--are somehow superior citizens??"

but we live here full time and travel...also in no way do we feel superior to anyone...except of course those that try to group everyone into a neat little negatively titled box....wonder who would do that? Sounds like they have an issue...strange...

Snowbirds pay taxes, just like full-timers; ergo, they are the same as full-timers!

Can't wait till my snowbird neighbors get back. It's been lonely without them. We'll just be bracing ourselves for all the hugs.

I love my snowbird friends! We need to support them on the forum and everywhere else. I hope the OP was being genuine.
