Actually I think ALL people would bitch about being hung - regardless of the age of the rope. Paulandjean seems to have a habit of snarky posts. Why be mean? Why not just say I like the new chairs and give your reasons? We all know that Gracie is a lovely person - why so sarcastic to her? I agree that it is great to have the place updated as needed, but most of these chairs didn't need to be replaced (in many of the opinions above). If the district uses it's capital replacement fund to buy things that don't need replacing (yet), won't that mean that there is less $$ left for other projects? k

Yes, but sadly, this saying reduces opinions to a very low level of comparison. Opinions are great. Our country was founded on opinions. The Villages was based on the opinions of a few visionaries. JLK |

I’ve experienced great restaurants, golf cart service, plumbers, etc. by taking your recommendations. Recently I have been feeling that contributors’ inputs are increasingly being minimized based on other poster s’ “world views.” I highly doubt that a person would put information on this board about treatment in a restaurant, or how they feel about the church they attend, just for sport. A person’s perceptions are very real to them despite what anyone else feels about their experiences at a location. In fact I have seen the opinions of three posters, with essentially the same experience at one of the local restaurants, be marginalized by several posters because they did not experience it themselves and because they like the establishment. I find it funny that some establishments (does Too Jays come to mind?) rarely get bad reviews here. Must be something to it? I will continue to take your views into consideration when dining, purchasing, praying; any time I spend my time or money. You have yet to lead me wrong. _ __________________ “Never take a person's dignity: it is worth everything to them, and nothing to you.” -Frank Barron I agree that marginalizing one point of view seems to be happening with frequency lately. I will not ne drawn into any argument with anyone as "I agree that we disagree". |

I gave the facts. I cannot have a opinion. Maybe because it is not the same as yours. Maybe if you understand what "Lighten UP" means, you would not take things so serious.

Update!
I found out that the Recreation Dept does the purchasing of the pool furniture so I just sent them an email about our opinions of the new pool furniture. I also asked them what criteria they used in deciding when to replace same and in the future could they place some samples at the pools and give us a way to rate them before they buy them enmasse? I referenced this site, hope that is OK; nothing on here that they shouldn't be able to read.

Final update
Received a phonecall this afternoon from John/Recreation Dept Director in reply to my email. He stated that they have had so many problems with the fabric-type material not holding up to Florida's weather so they decided to go with the type of furniture we now have. I told him that people had suggested another color besides white because it is already looking dirty and he said he would keep that in mind the next time.

I haven't seen them with my own eyes and have to rely on all of you to tell us about things that are happening since we are off campus.
I have had only good experiences with the choices so far, and that is the reason I was questioning . I am sorry if I offended anyone.
