TOTV is a VERY small % of folks living in TV. Hardly anyone I meet has ever heard of TOTV.....because they're all out and about.

You'll notice more folks posting during extreme heat, extreme cold, rain, etc. TOTV is not the villages.

If everyone in The Villages is leading such an active "lifestyle" of golf, etc. and all the other wonderful offerings which are provided throughout the community..........WHY is everyone posting on Talk of the Villages from the wee hours of the morning till late at night???

Has anyone else ever wondered this?

Do you not all golf in the mornings when it is cooler???

What about all this dancing in the squares?

Just wondering. We sit down at our computer to check out pictures that are always coming in from our five grandchildren.........and to take a "breather" from the exhausting work of decluttering and packing up our home for sale........or to research something or other that we need to purchase.........but then we don't have all of the great activities that TV offers.........

Do any of the owners of TOTV write some of these posts????????
Just wondering?????????

TOTV can be addictive..........and I , myself, have been known to "tune in" when a touch of insomnia hits.
Usually I'm working on my genealogy and ancestry.com website..........but then I wonder how things are going at TV.
Many people are off campus for some parts of the year, Senior, most especially our Canadian friends, and snowbirds too. And then some folks may be recovering from surgery or it is too hot to golf. Some people still work and it is on the computer and will flip over to TOTV. I have a dear friend who works at night on her computer, she is an IT specialist to other parts of the world.

I think the previous owners sometimes "ghosted" some posts to keep interest flowing, but I am pretty sure we have enough posters who keep things humming here without that happening.

And some of us can't sleep well.

Sure I'm busy enjoying all TV has to offer but I don't go to the squares every night and I usually come home for lunch and a nap and to just relax

I can't imagine anyone including those working a full time job that would not have some time set aside to watch television, read a book, engage in a hobby or visit TOTV, etc

So the question seems to imply that this is all a member of TOTV does which of course is not the case.

My addictive level is quite low and there is not much I couldn't walk away from.....well except my wife she is addictive

Nowadays the internet is portable.
One could be waiting for a table at a restaurant, and with a smartphone, be on TOTV
( or waiting for a movie to begin, etc)
So one could be multitasking and not necessarily tied to a desk to be on TOTV

Here I am sitting in a car (borrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring) somewhere north of Atlanta, with an hour's worth of driving left on today's leg of the journey. Yesterday I was stuck at home while some cabinetry was installed. Last Friday new countertops and the plumber kept me at home. A lot of this down time I spent on TOTV, just seeing what's up and if DoubB will say anything funny or Gracie anything interesting.

I like to watch sports in the evening (baseball, football, hockey) and hang on the forum at the same time. I do have a life. It's around here somewhere...

I would think at our age our schedules and routines are pretty well established regardless of where we are located.

Besides that this is confidential secret information,

I did the ancestry . COM thing until I connected the dots between my grandfather from Missouri and Jessie James. That was enough for me. I would be embarrassed to know I was related to any Wild West murderer and thief like John Wesley Harding, Bill Boney (BTK) or Jessie James. I want no connection to low life's like that.

We have lots of folks running around doing everything all the time. And we also have lots of folks (my husband and I included) who enjoy staying home and a few rounds of golf each week. So obviously one lifestyle would allow for more time on TOTV and if that is what a person wishes to do with their retirement - go for it - you earned it.

Amen to that. I did not get to sleep until 7;15 AM the other day. You'll see me here at night a lot.

I. So agree. I have been on this site for almost ten years. I could write a novel on the previous owners, as they were so obvious. The current owners is a different story. I honestly could not tell you if they are men/women, reb/dem, old/young. They are so fair and balanced I must give them a salute.
