My favorite is the golf cart driver in his cart lane on the rightside of the road going on forever with his left turn signal on. It's usually a Yamaha because they don't have a warning sound and the left indicator light is blocked from your vision below the steering wheel.

I went to the LSL Yamaha dealer and had them install two LED turn signal indicator lights on the windshield sideposts. They are eye level and you can't miss them. I wish they made those standard equipment on Yamaha. If anyone is interested it was $50 parts and labor, and while he was at it he lowered my big sideview mirrows at no charge, which at eye leval had created blind spots when making a turn.

I know the fumes don't help it. Nurse Nelly...here diagnosing from afar. That will be five cents please.

Mine started with that dreadful post nasal drip & has developed into a horrendous cough.

I had that last year. I got a prescription for "Z-Pack" which is a 5 day dose of an anti-biotic and it worked great. Another good treatment before it develops into the horrendous cough is Saline Solution (from Publix pharmacy for about $2.50) sprayed into each nostril several times a day.

I picked that virus up in Europe this year. I thought it was allergies, but it developed into a dreadful hacking cough and I am sure it was a virus. Mine finally cleared up after about six weeks, but the other half was deathly sick with it and needed antibiotics for a sinus infection!

Vicks is everyone's "old family favorite" - to help you breathe when you have allergies or a virus, you can try the Vicks inhaler (or the generic brand). It works really well, and doesn't have a rebound effect.

what, they shouldn't do the same thing they do when driving their car???

I cannot think of anything to hate about The Villages. I do however wish people would use more care when driving both their motor vehicles and golf carts. I have had a few close calls because of either distracted or confused motorists. It can be very scary and it certainly does not help my blood pressure level, which is already too high.

I don't "hate" it, but there is a serious lack of public and private transportation options for residents

That's the only thing I hated about the rental golf car I used a few weeks ago. The turn signal switch had no warning light or noise and ususally being in a car where they turn off automatically I tooled around with a turn signal on. Thankfully a few villagers were kind enough to let me know. I felt like such an ass. Well, lesson learned.

No place to make a U-turn when you miss your destination by car.

Also, no place to pull over if you are new and need to read a map or answer a cell phone etc.

The only problem in The Villages is the people speeding! Why are they in such a hurry?
