Come on down as soon as you life circumstances say you can! My guess is you will not regret it either.

Exactly. The translation of "it's too hot...it's too buggy" is:

"I can't stand it that you don't want to share my misery. And I am gutless."

I love this reponse.

People critize things they don't understand.

It's ok. It ensures that a place for me is available.

IMHO - I think some people just have to justify where they live is really good for them.

To each his/her own.

Bingo 2B. Everyone has to think that they live in the best possible place or face the reality that they really don't like where they live all that much, or that they should be somewhere else. I will admit that I did not like Florida much after visiting various places in the state 3 or 4 times. Never thought I would want to live in Florida. Now I can't wait to get to the Villages (by the way, is TV in Florida?)

If you find yourself hearing that where you have chosen to live is not a good place than look jealousy right in the eye and smile.

Living happily is the best revenge.

Whenever I'm in the mood to aggravate myself, I just check the weather at The Villages. Winter temperatures are perfect; summer temps are hot but, with swimming pools seemingly around every corner and AC everywhere else,
no sweat. Don't know if I'll ever make it to TV but the weather certainly won't be a negative factor.

We were told how much we would miss the WNY fall. Well, while standing outside in my shorts and tee shirt under a very blue sky, a leaf fell off of whatever the tree is in the yard. I got out the rake and put the leaf in a lawn bag. Can't say I missed fall this year.

We heard it all before we moved too. We quickly figured out the people who were the most negative had never lived more than 50 miles from where they grew up. They simply could not fathom living "away from home".

Even on the hottest days here, it is still very pleasant outside in the mornings and evenings. I am also amazed at how quickly we adapted to the climate here. By the end of our first summer, it was only when the temps hit the upper 90s that it seemed uncomfortable to be outside for long periods of time. Up north, we considered it "shorts weather" when temps hit the low 70s. Now we wear long pants and grab a sweater before venturing out when it is that "cold".

I see this your first post. to TOTV.

I get aggravated when I start to think about not being in TV and that is all the time. The weather will not be a deterent for me either.

Keep on posting!!!!!!!

[Pturner]

I even get the line about Florida being too hot from people in Hotlanta, where it is often as hot or hotter than in TV on many a summer day. Sheesh.

AlbertC, welcome to TOTV. I hope you ever make it to TV. You will never regret it!

[joycenemetz]

Shhhh! Stop telling everyone how nice it is in the summer! Let's keep it our secret!
