Oh, Warren, Warren, Warren. You have really stepped in it now. You should know that in The Villages you can only express your opinion if it's 100% positive. Anything else is unacceptable.

Never mind that everyone is different, having different experiences in life, it's your responsibility to keep up appearances here in The Villages. Now, get busy and tow the line!

I don't think they insist. I went in just to buy a banana and the clerk offered to carry it out for me. I'm not kidding!

Why do some folks cover their mailboxes with stickers (graffiti)? It is sloppy, and I cannot believe that most people are unable to find their own mailbox each day.

That's an easy one. It's called stage-one dementia.

Guess I figured it out for myself.
But still don't understand why it gets bleeped.

I had neighbors who did this quite often and I marveled at how well behaved their dog was. He would not leave the yard even when the owners were not looking. But then one day he disappeared and the whole neighborhood was out looking for him.

Here's my theory: Every once in a while I would see a wild rabbit go hopping
through my yard. The dog must have seen it too, or smelled it, and went chasing after it.

Why can't men pee in the urinal without making a puddle on the floor in front of it?

Why can't the recreation center mop it up a few times every day on a busy day?

answer to your first " ?" Because they all think IT is longer than it is. i Stand closer, it isn't

Who decided the default for the toilet seat was DOWN?

That was decided loooooooooooong before the term "default" was ever applied to the positioning of toilet seats.

You are 100% correct. As I read many posts I find there are those who live in a Polyanna world and see everything thru rose colored glasses. If you post comments of a negative nature even with it containing a a lot of humor, there are those who apparently believe their world here in the Villages is being attacked. Just as an earlier commentor to my posting that she has never seen most of what was contained in my orginal posting. Within minutes I can show her dog poop, Pee all over the toilet seat at Tierra Del Sol golf course ( a unisex toilet), basket carts scattered throughout the grocery parking lots, litter left in baskets and on the ground at these same parking lots, dogs running free, people in golf carts using the entire auto parking space, VERY young children driving golf carts, golf carts speeding along at least 30MPH, nasty residents and of course the handicapped thing is a whole issue by itself. So to you maam, who called me negative and whiney, remove those rose colored glasses and what you will find is the Villages, except for the huge amount of anenities is basically just like any other community.

Gosh. I am going to have to look back and see who said that.

It must be gone.

Those of us who try to see positive things in life have always tried to see positive things in life. We were just as annoying back from whence we came.

Whence we came. Has kind of an olde English ring to it, doesn't it?

Warren, please come to the next Crispers get together. It is amazing how charming and sweet some posters are in real life.

I don't think of it as rose coloured glasses. i acknowledge that everything is going on. I just choose to put my attention on what makes me feel good and seeing all the positive things makes me feel better than focussing on what is going "wrong". I also do my best to not contribute to the "going wrong" part.

We have all learned how to notice what is "wrong" and our radar can tend to send us in that direction in order to "avoid trouble" so it can take some efforting to notice what is going right. Maybe we all just need to remember to "be the change we want to see" and notice how many others are like us. Bet there are more out there than we can imagine.

Maybe you can talk to someone and get this added to the trolly tour! I'm sure you don't have the time to take folks around........or do you?
