Dang right!
I try to make all of my hours happy. I had enough stress in my previous life.
Now I strive for peace, and contentment.

Dog poo don't bother me.
Leaf blowers don't bother me.
Little white crosses don't bother me.
Unfixed punchmarks...OK, they bother me some...but I'm working on it.

From someone who was actually there on Friday..
- Yes, it was busy
- Yes, there were lines
- This is common when a popular band is playing
- No, it didn't take 30 minutes to get any of our beers

I can tell which one is the Villager. The one with the perpetual happy smile on their face is usually the Villager.

Simple.

Just about everyone here wears shorts. So just check the legs. Tanned arms and face along with lily-white (or recently sunburned) legs, is a sure indication of a 'bird.

After a summer in NY, my legs are darker now than when I left TV in May.

And the one with the perpetual "digital frown" is most likely a poster on ToTV...

I was thinking the same thing, exactly.

The important thing to remember, whether you stood in line for 20 minutes, or snuck it in against the rules, is that the glass is half-empty.

Spray tan pretty common among those who travel to sunbelt for vaca.
All the years we traveled to TV, my legs have always had the same color. Sun is everywhere, even running in snow, running clothes, that exposed face, arms, and yes Legs.

Lots of male TV residents have White ankles however are signs you are still wearing black sock with your sandals

I thought we were supposed to wear black socks with our sandals! Had I known it wasn't mandatory I'd have stuck with my argiles.

They should have dedicated parking and driving lanes for us FROGS. It's too crowded in the winter

In my neck of the woods we wear white socks with our sandals.

Agree, but thinking logically, would it not be a stretch for "law enforcement" to sniff, sample, test, every cup (might even be a Starbucks or McD's cup, LOL) that individuals are drinking from on any given night ? IMHO, that's really unrealistic in a community where the enforcement of simple things like amenities are ONLY for residents and guests, etc. is so difficult. To add checking squares each night to see if people have a cup of lemonade, or a cup with alcohol from home, just don't think it would be possible. To me, that seems similar to trying to make sure a person does not bring a candy bar or other snack into a movie theater, but just my opinion !

So do I, it's amazing, amusing, and just plain fun, LOL ! If you really want to see amusing, check out the local on like villages newspaper. There is NO topic that is not quick changed to one presidential candidate or another....LOL... folks on there can turn a discussion of the best car wash in the area into a discussion of candidates, it's a riot to read. Guess their model of "journalism" works, I grab a morning coffee and check it out several times a week...LOL !

I wear crocs without socks. Telltale sign is the little round suntan spots on top of my feet where the sun shines through the little holes.

More than likely the only way you'll get caught is if you act like an ass in public and do something to draw attention to yourself.

I don't know, perhaps I really am the one who does not understand "enforcement". I agree many MANY "rules" are not followed and are not "enforced", but WHO do you call when push comes to shove ? Are the local police, or sheriff's deputies REALLY responsible to enforcing rules ? I am guess most of us who live here listened to all the rules and deed restriction, and so on when be first came, but never even thought to ask the most relevant question: Do you have a formal and legal organization for enforcement ? You're own legally invested police force ? or, what ? One thing I have always wondered, the "rule" about only residents and guests may use pools. If "enforcement" comes around, and orders an "offender" to vacate, what if they refuse ? Do they call the county sheriff's deputies to remove the individual(s), or if in Lake county area of villages, do they ask the local police to remove these people ? It just all seems unrealistic to me ?
