If you dig up threads from months ago, you will find a lot of negativity. Stick with today....don't see much complaining going on today. Don't look for negatives, there's so many good people here, good ideas and much happiness....it's all how you look at it. Look at the good

Not only that... TOTV is the place for opinions and debate and, yes, sometimes bickering. If all the members put their gripes in their back pocket, it would become quite boring around here.

If you think we're bad, go over and take a look at Topix!

Hey, thanks you guys, because of gerryann's post I got curious and just figured out how to look at "today's posts." Yippee! And yes, I agree everyone is entitled to an opinion, I guess I just got a little overwhelmed by reading all the posts on a couple of threads. From what I am seeing on Talk of the Villages, you all are NOT boring, that is for sure! Some of the complaints actually made me laugh out loud.

Most are very lighthearted. A lot of tongue in cheek. Nothing earth shattering. I think we are all friends. If anything does get out of hand, we are deleted (our post, not us)

Ya'll are something else? Who are Ya'll? Saying that sounds a lot like ..you people. It infers superiority. Btw, I am a Southern girl and love hearing someone say Ya'll. Yes, there are a few old curmudgeons here but we are mostly fun loving, positive people. Most of us do get out in the sunshine, play and have a little fun. We also get out in the moonlight and have a little more fun. Welcome to TV and don't take TOTV too serious.

What she said. Hang on Wanda, it is always a bit crazy around here. We ain't none of us dead yet.

I haven't read this entire thread, frankly my time is way too valuable for such drivel.

I do have a quick question. Is it proper to wear a hat in a restaurant if we're seated outside? My dogs all have hats, but Lord knows I don't risk the FAUX PAS police hunting us down.
