I guess the % just increased a little more

Don't worry, be happy!

Correcting misinformation, quelling rumors and trying to be positive is kind of a challenge at times. Our parents generation rarely praised, that is how they raised children, and that may have stuck with many. You don't say ANYTHING unless something is WRONG. Also many new people are skeptical and uncomfortable with all that is right, casting about to see if this place really is this good.

This is the nicest place that adults could find to enjoy their victory laps in my humble opinion.

We have far fewer years ahead of us than behind us. Why waste them on negativity? My head is not in the sand but my realistic view is here for all to see. I love this place. It is ANOTHER beautiful day in The Villages. Hugs to y'all.

We are planning on down there. Is what you say for real, or are you joking?

In response to Golfing Eagle, we are planning on moving down, are you serious? Didn't know if my previous reply would be understood since I couldn't see the quote I was referring to.

Please reread. One of his posts was tongue in cheek. The one's following it explained he was kidding.


Jumping to negative conclusions happens a lot on this forum.


Welcome to the forum, kathygeorge. When are you coming to see this lovely place?

Except for worrying about an extremely unlikely coyote attack or some other unforeseen misfortune (lighting strikes) , the Villages is a great place to be for me in 2015. I can put up with the occasion personal attacks or rude/insulting remarks on TOTV too (but I will report them in the hope that they stop all together). I have seen far worse on some of the message boards (mainly Findlaw and Facebook occasionally after 2014 or so) I have been using since 2001 or so. And, my 224 613 Project (on no, not that again) seems to be doing extremely well. Since I have been working on this since January 1991 in MN, LA, CA, IL and FL with many NV, NJ, TX, MA, DC, VA and NY connections; it is about time that I see some real fruits from all that labor. I am kind of assuming the best in people though with this Project's development. 2016 and 2017 should be even more interesting. I am with Graciegirl, it is another beautiful day in the Villages. So glad that we moved from Palm Harbor, Florida in 2005 to here. I too respect the Morses' vision but there are of course various problems which TOTV helps to solve in some small way or even in larger ways depending on who looks at TOTV. You never know who might be reading these posts.

OMG, I'm so sorry---looks like I seriously confused you, please re-read the thread. I'm 100% with GG, this place is wonderful, and I haven't even moved in full time yet. You will find on TOTV there are 99% of us in love with TV, and about 1-2% who constantly have something to complain about, hence the OP's reference to negative posts. I just couldn't resist posting what I thought was humorous hyperbole, since most of us are familiar with who posts what in general. I never thought I could be taken seriously. So like Bob Barker said "kathygeorge, come on down!"

Tal - I believe not only the remainder of 2015 will be good for you in TV, but great for you in the years to come!

All I can say is, I LOVE THE VILLAGES !! A big thank you to Harold and all the Morse family for creating this wonderful place for us to spend the rest of our lives. We been here over 15 years and I love it as much now as I did when we first moved here.

golfing eagles, I wouldn't worry. Your post was great fun and obviously tongue-in-cheek. Anybody not getting it needs to read it again.
