Muncle: If they tried to "tweak" the system to take everyone's personal situation into consideration, it would be chaos. It's just the price we pay for living in paradise. ;D I'm happy to pay amenities, garbage collection, taxes, etc. for twelve months, even tho I live in TV only six months a year.

I find myself single a lot of the time as Fireboy hasn't retired and is back in Canada working. I can honestly say I've never been bored or lonely. It isn't like high school where everyone has to be part of a couple or sit home alone. Sadly, as SamHass pointed out, we all know we most likely will be alone at some point; or perhaps our spouses will be. Whatever, I can't imagine there is a better place to spend our golden years.

Jersey Girl, and any other singles, you'll love living in TV! :bigthumbsup:

Let's all take a step back.....

Wake up in the morning = Ahead of the game.
Two arms, two legs, feel, taste, touch, breathe = Ahead of the game.
Speak, hear, smell, walk, sit = Ahead of the game.

Married = Just in the game
Single = Just in the game

I would rather be ahead of the game, married or single.
Come on folks, lets think of the important stuff. Without our health and physical capabilities all the other stuff is meaningless. :bigthumbsup:

Back to the question asked - I don't see why the fee shouldn't be per individual. How do you prove that you have a trail fee paid? Is it registered to the cart or the person? If it is the cart then i can see how it is one fee otherwise it doesn't make sense. Never mind single people, even married folks sometimes have only one golfer. Two or more golfers in the family should pay more than a single. I can see giving a break for the second or third in a family but it should be something more.

I think the trail fee is noted via villages ID number on t-time reservation. The system shows whether the golfer has or hasn't paid the trail fee. If that's the case then you wouldn't pay if riding in some one elses cart since the ID # is on the t-time reservation and is not golf cart registration info.

WOW is that a jumble or what........ :) :)

As I look at the trail fees there is a Priority Member Annual Trail Fee for a single resident.

Hey Red,

You stated "At the same time, I've had two wonderful men in my life and I've loved both dearly and passionately". Does that mean "simultaneously"?

Oh Boy!!

Nah, Griff, not that kinda girl but who knows, I may change when I marry Kathie's dad and get involved with the soulful Muncle. One was my ex-husband (12 years--14 if you count pre-marriage). One was my soulmate (6 years).

Red,

I didn't mean imply that you are that kinda girl. I was just quoting what you had said. Actually, I thought it was pretty funny.

Griff

I finally read the quote carefully. duh That's what I get for posting after midnight.

Hey, Muncle, do you think we've hijacked your thread enough?

Red, are you stating for all to see, that you have intentions of "cheating" on my Dad before you even get married to him??? May be we should rethink this?

Your 'never-to-happen' daughter-in-law,
Kathie

Re: Another Single Disadvantage
 
Um, that is a MAYBE, Kathie! A very, very, very huge maybe at that. Remember, I haven't met either of these charmers yet, but if your dad is anything like you, I can't imagine doing more than some innocent flirting with others.

JohnnyM - I'm an easier grader than you.

6 feet above the ground = ahead of the game!

Thanks JohnN, are we the only two, other than Nonie, that think this way. I say "for the grace of God go I" a hundred times a day!!!
