I don't have a dog. I was going to, but my future husband (as of Friday) had to put his sweet dog to sleep yesterday. I hope to have another one soon (don't worry, we don't live in Santa Domingo), but I wonder what motivates a person to start a thread that he has to know will alienate a large portion of his neighbors! And then, when most people have commented on that one, to start this one and continue the anger!I don't think this is as much about dogs as it is about a discontent life and a basic intolerance of other people's lifestyles.

Jane. I think you are right.

Someone doesn't like dogs peeing on his lawn and all of a sudden he's discontented with life? Are you kidding? Get a grip...

:shrug: Wonders who Jane's future husband was before Friday? and If I could apply for next week?? OH WAIT, I have a wife sorry.
Just kidding Jane:girlneener:

Bless You Jane!!!!
 

You have hit the nail on the head, well...actually you put it much more eloquently. This person has been posting about different issues all week, (if you all read back). He/she is just bored and admitted they he/she was trying to get a rise out of us. I have been trying to keep quiet, but if you read back you will see. I agree 100% with Gracie that this should be looked into with the hands that be over our happy/peaceful/free/balanced/forum. It doesnt take rocket science to see that this needs to be stopped, as this person is doing it for his/her sheer pleasure/boredom/arrogance. This person is getting their jollies off at to all the people reading and responding and laughing etc? I think its a dang shame for all those wonderful people that are reading, and wanting to move to TV and reading this insanity. Not caused by us and people that live and love TV, but a person that is a trouble maker. To any newbie that is just joining this forum, there are nothing but wonderful people on here, but there is always one in the bunch to spoil the roses, hopefully this will stop. Please do not encourage this person as I know its hard to. The End :bowdown:

And to all of us happy people......:pepper2::beer3::icon_hungry::popcorn: :a040:

Why does it "need to be stopped"? This is a pretty free forum, though some might disagree, that tends to accept anything short of personal attacks on others. This guy may be disillusioned, he may be bitter, but other than accusing some dog owners of being very inconsiderate, he hasn't been too personal. And as you said, he is doing it for his enjoyment, one of the purposes of TOTV.

Nope, that's just not the case. TV is a pretty great place but it is not Utopia. New residents are not sprinkled with pixie dust that takes away all bad habits and traits. Eden had its snake and its greed. Shangri-La had its dissatisfied who tried to leave. TV is no different from anywhere else in that it has a mix of characters and characteristics. Not all may be to your liking. Heck, TV even has Democrats, disillusioned liberals who refuse to see the light. But they make up the community. This ain't Stepford.

You express concerns that newbies/wannabes might read scandalous posts such as these and be disillusioned about TV. First, TOTV is not TV. Theoretically, there's about 70,000 residents of TV, full and part-time. The percentage of those who are active posters on TOTV is minuscule. Additionally, TOTV has other posters. There are a few who are former TVers who delight in denigrating everything Villages. There are those who've never been here or came once for a long weekend in 1995 who consider them selves experts. There are the professional nay sayers who swear the place would collapse without the unselfish dedication of the POA and there are those who have their daily dose of "I love Gary Morse" kool aid before their morning coffee. And there are those who just love to argue politics. But the vast, vast majority of residents really don't give a damn. They get their news from the Daily Sun and the other available newspapers. They really don't care that much about the topics we discuss. They found a great place to live. They love to play golf, bocce, or paddleball, bowl, or gather for bingo, bunco, or bridge. They go out for dinner with friends and have monthly driveway happy hour parties. The have the grandkids down for swimming and shuffleboard and Camp Villages. Most of these people have never heard of TOTV or have no interest. Most a decent people, some phenomenally so, but some are blithering jerks. Some are a joy to be around and some poison every group they join with their negative attitudes. They're people.

Nice summary Muncle.....:beer3:

:agree:

Very Good MuncLe

Don't forget the memorial of and investigation into the death of MICHAEL JACKSON :rolleyes:

Ghosts
 

Those people who go around looking for ghosts with all the latest equipment, claim they saw the ghosts of Elvis and M. Jackson. They were fighting and making all kinds of eerie noises. When they moved in closer they saw Elvis on Michael's chest and he was violently banging Michael's head against the floor yelling at the top of his lungs, " That's for marrying my daughter!!!!!!!" :cus:

This creates a problem
 

We have two old dogs and two cats and plan to move to TV. Now I don't know if we can. We travel for months at a time with all four and never have a problem. I knew there had to be some problem with TV. I think I found it. I could never part with one of "our family". Puts us in a real conundrum.

Just do what most do, move in with what you have and
 

live life like you normally do and no one will ever comment of take any action.
The so called rule is really a guideline. Guidelines include averaging and common sense. How many have zero? Who counts? One/two/three/four? Ditto.

Don't let the pet counters stop you from moving to TV. Let's look at the pet "guideline" the way most here view the speed limit....bring on the herd!!!!

Are you sure? I would hate to see a situation where the Villages decided to enforce the rules in this case, and force people to either eliminate some pets or move.

More pets
 

Section 6. Birds, fish, dogs and cats shall be permitted, with a maximum of two (2) pets per Homesite.
So if there are 50 homesites on your street then only 100 pets would be allowed. Alot of my neighbors don't have pets so I guess I can go shopping for a few more.:a20:
