I always chuckle when I think of the label "AMERICA'S HEALTHIEST HOMETOWN" then read about a recipe in the "Villages" newspaper that is loaded with salt, butter, cream etc.

Seeing how good the people in The Villages look takes the worry out of having birthdays.

Perhaps the secret to a healthier life is drinking more red wine.
VPL, don't shoot the messenger, I am kidding!

A glass of red wine is the equivalent to an hour at the gym, says new study - MyDaily UK

Bare - I like the way you think.

One of the clearest non sequitur and short sighted statements I find on this forum is the one that goes something like this. "If you don't like it then move " or "you have options" meaning then move, etc.

If that statement had true validity then this country would never have come to fruition. The founding fathers didn't leave when they disagreed with the governing powers at the time, now did they? No they stayed and they formed the greatest democracy on earth, one, that nation after nation attempt to emulate

So too we find residents who have legitimate concerns and/or possible solution about this community but instead of getting support we have some residents who find a need to chide and discredit their concerns and dismiss them out of hand

Can't argue with those observations, rubicon. But there are also a few who find fault with almost everything...and not in any constructive way that I can see. That is a totally different situation imho.

Perhaps one of the biggest charades here is the "Lifestyle Visit."

The Lifestyle Visit is nothing like living here. It is a complete charade under the pretense of being a Disney World for adults.

The only way to know what it's like to live here is to rent for a few months. There are those who have said, If I knew then what I know now . . ."

Couldn't disagree more. And yes, we did the lifestyle visit...twice. It is what you make of it.

Or perhaps about drinking the Kool-Aid and relocating to The Villages.

Studies are showing that socialization is a very important factor contributing to longevity. The Villages provides wonderful opportunities for socialization.
