Greatest Bubble in the USA!!!!! Try us , You'll like us!

Love, love, love living in TV. I've made new friends and know my neighbors (something unheard of in South Florida). One unexpected delight is how busy we are. After working long hours for many years, often out of town, I was a bit apprehensive about suddenly having nothing to do, and - much as I love him- being with hubbie 24/7. Wow, was I wrong; our calendar is always full, with golf, water aerobics, dinners and lunches out (including some day trips "off campus" to get to a restaurant we want to try), volunteering, reading, and assorted other activities. My hubbie golfs, bowls in a league (which he hadn't had time for in 30 years), and is now starting in a billiards league (something else he hadn't done for years). We do things together and we do things separately. This place isn't for everyone, as no place can be, however, this is like no other place and I feel very fortunate to be here. I hope you love it as much as I do.

50/50
 

I have lived in TV for seven years. When we arrived it was a community of about 40,000 folks. It was great , easy to navigate, felt like a community.
That has certainly changed. We are closing in on over 100,00 residents during the winter months. Not so much community feeling now, more like a city.
It is a unique place, and remains so as it grows. Personally I am feeling like it is getting to big for me. I have never lived in this large a community. I am debating whether on not to make a change. :confused:

you will like it here if you play golf and like to drink if not stay away the coast line is much nicer miss the ocean do not like it in the center of this state

Took the words out of my mouth
 

I think I have won the lottery!....Great neighbors as an added bonus!

I guess I still have my rose colored glasses on. We have been here only a month and I love it here. Yes I miss my family in Ca. but I have met so many friendly people here.

There are things to do here and it is like no other place. I feel truly blessed to be able to live here. I feel like I am on a vacation.

We can't wait to be totally settled in so we can enjoy the new lifestyle of TV.

A brief philosophical waxing
 

My wife and I have visited TV 7 times in the past 3 years. A year ago we purchased a home and will be moving permanently to TV this September 30th. We will be frogs. We are very excited and we can hardly wait!

We have also moved 7 times in the last 14 years and I have learned one unequivocal thing: 100% of our happiness comes from within each of ourselves and from only within. Our church wasn’t perfect. Our jobs weren’t perfect. Our neighbors weren’t perfect. And neither was/is either one of us. Nothing that I know of is perfect (except of course, God Himself). In spite of all of life’s imperfections we are perfectly happy people. We have been blessed beyond that which we deserve. I know that certainly I have been.

We hate to waste any part of any day so we are enjoying our present lives immensely but we are also looking forward with wild anticipation to our arrival in TV. So far our TV’ canvas-of-life is a blank and lifeless form. The opportunities, however to transform that into a vibrant and growing organism are boundless. Our brushes are out and our painting will begin the moment we arrive.

Which brings me, Lynxville, to your question; I have read with interest the dozens of responses to your request for candor and while TV may not be for everyone (and thank goodness for that), if, when you look in the mirror, you truly like the “man in the glass”, then I’m going to suggest that you’ll love what you find here in TV during your winter visit and I wish you the very best of luck.

I don't think it is possible to improve upon your response. We love it here.

Dairy farms have had Price Support Subsidies since I was a Kid.

The NEW Dairy subsidies are available for sign-up
beginning on Tuesday September 02 -thru- Nov-28, 2014.

This NEW subsidy is called
"Dairy Producers Margin Insurance Program".

Since the TAXPAYER is on the hook to make the payouts, I would call this a Subsidy.

IF it looks like a Duck and Walks like a Duck, it just might be a Duck.


I like living in The Villages.
Everything is easy on the wallet.

My Pet Peeve about living here is_"I now have Nothing to complain about."

What a delightful way to start the day.

Welcome HOME!

Thank you for your correction.
Yes, I know many farmers are subsidized but did not read that regarding dairy farmers.
I guess I haven't read everything or missed reading about that.

Please stay on topic. If you want to discuss Florida as a dairy state, start a new thread.

Whats not to like unless you hate fun:cool:
