Good job to all who helped re-instate the 'singles' forum thread... I've been off and on (more off for sure) the TOTV site over the last few months. Still working but have sold my house in upstate NY (Buffalo subs). IN an apt now with only a 6 month lease as I am now 'liquid' . Next decision is retirement and relo to TV! One step at a time - keep the faith!! My house sold rather quickly and at a price I couldnt refuse. Like I always say, you only need one person to like your house! you dont need to bat 300 and get into the All star game! I have bookmarked a number of TV singles club sites... and will be on to this thread every day now! Thanks..

Wow - weren't you lucky to sell it so quickly! :bigthumbsup: Congratulations.

Have you done the Lifestyle Preview?

ripwho....... my house is on the market and I'm looking for that one person to fall in love with it (like I did) and pay my price.

Shucks, I haven't even had one person come out to look at it so far. My local real estate market is overflowing with bargains and :'( mine isn't one. However, I shall ...

keep the faith ;D

wiw - havent done Preview yet but have visited friends 4x over last 2 years in TV.... played some golf, wined and dined, danced, etc.. definitely a place I want to get to!

hello fellow singles,

just want to add my peep to keep this forum going as i, too, am a widow and moving to TV in late august....looking forward to opportunities to interact with many folks, and of course it would be great to have some single friends to join for dinner, a movie, travel, etc. i will watch for your posts with enthusiasm...

[samhass]

chacha..after your willingness (with no hesitation, I might add) to join us in "The Freeze" , I think you will have many friends..single and married.

[chachacha]

thanks for remembering me, samhass, and i look forward to many more fun activities..
can't wait to invite some folks over to my little house and develop some great friendships...

Ripwho, congrats for selling your house in this difficult market!

Hope you'll love TV as much as I do.

Welcome!!

chacha

I'm leaving the second week of August and hope you're here by then for us to meet. If not...will catch you at Christmas or next Easter....

You were a great sport at The Freeze and I'm looking forward to getting together again.

[renielarson]

Wishing you the best of luck CIB...hope the right buyer comes along soon.

[renielarson]

Congratulations rip. Get to TV soon...you won't be sorry because it's Paradise here!

Thanks to everyone who responded .... I arrive for my first visit to TV on Monday, June 30th and I can't wait. I really feel better after reading some of your responses. I've been a widow for four years and would like to find friends in couple and single circles - I really don't like "labels" like "widow" "single" ...would much rather being known as myself and find friends who share interests, laughs,etc.--couples or singles. I'm outgoing so from your responses I think I'll be OK....

Barb1191 -- what a wonderful response..so happy you have met him --- ENJOY IT TO THE FULLEST!!!

PJ and Brightspot - thanks for the welcome and well wishes.. up here in western new york, although real estate market never appreciated to any great extent, it never really took a dive. I got a fair price, made a few bucks over my spend from 2001.. decided to take it! next decision is when exactly do I retire, leave my 2 sons (they are both in good relationships that'll keep them up here - maybe I can talk my one engaged son to go for a 'destination' wedding in TV next February!)...Can I rent Arnie's CC???? ;D

I bought a house in May and am planning to visit it monthly for a few years until I retire (I'm 51 and plan to retire early). I am single and have found people to be friendly and accepting no matter what your marital status. They are willing to judge you for who you are and if you are nice to people and outgoing (make an effort to meet people) you will have no trouble finding new friends who share the same interests. I am looking forward to moving there permanently in a few years

[chachacha]

thanks brightspot for the reply...i don't think i will make it by the second week of august so i will look forward to seeing you at christmas time....ahh, no snow! (coming from north dakota!)....
