Default Saying Hi

This is my first posting on any sort of board and I hope I get it right. I have been standing at the back of the room for a while and just want to say Hi and that I am very impressed with the dialogue which takes place here. My wife and I are wannabes morphing into gonnabes as soon as we can sell our home here in mid-Michigan. We spent a week at TV in 2003 (still have a $5 village dollar) and we stopped in last spring with our youngest daughter to get her approval (got it). Needless to say we drank the water and are hooked. TOTV has answered any questions we have so far and my congats to the administrators who keep a lid on things. Looking forward to the move south when the economy thaws just enough.

Smile Welcome Folks

Glad you decided to chime in with the rest of us. And there are many that are in the same boat as you "House wise" trying to sell. Us for one. It's tough all over home sales wise. I was told to bury a St Joseph in the yard. There's a squadron of them buried now and still no results. Like others on TOTV we'll get there eventually.

Julie, Welcome to you too. You'll love it here in TV, much more affordable than CA and much more friendly than LA for sure. Come into chat one night as Donna suggested, you'll meet even more friendly peeps there. Just don't call yourself "Julia"!!
Side note to Donna, that's a scary "Hello" graphic. I won't steal that one, ever.

You got it perfectly. Bad news, though. Your 2003 $5.00 in village dollars is now worthless. Good news, however. I've played a bit of golf here for the last 3 1/2 yrs and almost nobody can hit a lob wedge, 60 degree or not, so you're safe.

Good luck with the house sale. We've tons of Michiganders just waiting to get you into their clubs --- of course we are also overrun with OSU people
so if Michigan gets a football team in the next couple years, you can count on some exciting weekends.

And do not believe any of that specious twaddle about STD epidemics, massive Viagra sales (my older friends prefer Ciales), and financial chaos and collapse for TV when the family takes their money and runs. That's all BS put out by hack writers who've spent 6 hours touring TV and are now self-proclaimed experts. I think most of them spent all their time interviewing POA officers and trolling for harlots at Katey Bells and Urban Flats.

You're gonna love it in TV. This is without doubt one of the most amazing affordable facilities in the world, populated by some of the nicest, most generous folks a person would ever want to meet.

Muncle as usual has it right. I can't vouch for the Viagra or Cialis, but the rest is true. Also don't bring your one iron.

OH...

And Welcome to the Forum. I can point out the sane ones.

Hope to soon welcome you to Paradise.

I've never been into a chat room, just the sound of it kinda makes me nervous. Perhaps I'll wander in and dip my toes to test the waters one of these days. If it's anything like TV I'm sure I'll take the dive and actually contribute to the conversation.

And don't ever worry about me calling myself Julia, that has been a life long pet peeve of mine when other people refer to me as Julia instead of Julie.

Hi Julie, yes, please dip your toes. We have lots of fun and you sound like a fun person. We're very friendly and will help you along. We won't disappoint you. We get in there late but you're on Pacific time so it will be early for you.

Sorry about the Julia joke, that's an inside joke with the "chatters" and when you come in we'll explain it. Don't worry, we'll like you better as Julie!! Welcome aboard and welcome to chat!!!!! K.

Hey lobwedge60- my hubby and I are from Michigan and have already morphed into the soongonnabes. We are getting ready to put the house back on the market (we had it on the market last year but didn't sell) in the next few weeks. Here's to hoping that all our homes will sell this year and we can all meet in TV.
