Fumar you are soooooo funny
 

I sure have missed your posts.:1rotfl::1rotfl:...Where have you been.?...

Yes

I know exactly what you mean. It doesn't matter to us, one way or another. We live our lives and don't care what other people do...or how they think. We are all entitled to our opinions.

When we moved to Vermont in 1970 it was a totally CONSERVATIVE state in every shape and form imaginable. Some parts of Vermont didn't even have electricity until the 1960's. Hard to believe, but we've seen the documentaries put out by our state on Public Television. In a way it was slightly backwards.

What a sea change has transpired in all the years after 1970.
The folks who were the "salt of the earth" are long gone....for the most part. They were the oldtimers.

It's become a totally ultra "L" state..........if the old farmers and such would rise from the dead, they would be in total shock at their beloved Green Mountain State's "new views".

We were among those who migrated up here........but we enjoyed the "difference" after we finally adjusted to the fact it was NOT New Jersey.

However, people flocked up here.........not just hippies but doctors and professionals, college professors from all the cities in the east.......and the nature of Vermont has definitely changed......as one can see by what gets voted into law. Our own high school and college kids had very "L" teachers and professors influencing them...........but we also knew some of the "old timey" traditional native Vermont professors and teachers.
Big change from 1970 to now...........

No problem with the viewpoint of those who reside in TV....that's for sure.

With age comes wisdom.......generally speaking...especially if you worked hard and saved your money and go to church and all that stuff we were raised to do.

It's definitely not for everybody, but that doesn't mean the people who don't like it should be criticized. Some people like a little privacy and the postage stamp lots here do not appeal to those people.

Hmmmm......so I guess it's OK to reference political parties as long as it's abbreviated:shrug:

It can't be all R's as the D's won. TV is not right for some but it's right for me.

I tend to think that some people gives reasons as why they don't like it because some people don't like change and are very resistance to starting a new lifestyle.

Ive heard:
1. It's too hot in the summer.
2. Too many bugs.
3. Aligators are going to get you.

I can se some people wanting to stay near their children and grandchildren. I have also seen people say they see their children and grandchildren more since TV is close to Disney World.

To each their own. :smiley:

I have the same relatives. And I share their love of all things Big City. But you cant have it all. I'm content to get my Big City fix on travels and enjoy the weather and activities here the rest of the time. They can stay home, and I won't be offended

:BigApplause:

Your friends second thought would raise a flag for me! She does not sound village friendly!

And we also have friends like this! They enjoy visiting us but HE would not want to live here! SHE would love to!

shhhh!!!

Let's try to keep political and partisan references and opinions out of this thread unless it is within the context of the topic (i.e. a reason for not liking the Villages).

No. No one should be criticized.

But please don't move here, live here, when you can buy elsewhere and be happy.

I am as entitled to my being happy and my positive opinion about this place as those who play a dirge all of the time.

AND I think a LOT of it is politically motivated..

If you don't like pie........don't eat it!
