Gracie, I was thinking the same thing. I hope he meant riding in a carpool!

:a20:

if the active lifestyle is what this is all about, then why are so many of us sedentary and grossly overweight. few people walk anywhere (take the golf cart to the postal station or to the pool); take the dog for a walk (while you sit in the golf cart and drive along slowly); grocery shop at publix (while parking your you know what in the motorized scooter); look for a parking spot (while circling the lot to find the closest one so that you do not have to walk too far to the entrance); visit the all you can eat buffet (let's heap up the plate with mashed potatoes and gravy)......and this goes on and on.
we have amazing facilities and infrastructure to allow us to be active: so let's get moving!

ummm. even my overweight friend rides a bike 6 miles at age 70.
I just moved and have been too sedentary, but my preference for a comeback is to dance and swim, since I'm a miserable cyclist and not the most disciplined.
Parking as far away as I can and walking in the sun across asphalt is more than I want to do.
Thanks for the encouragement to move. Ms. Nyad certainly showed me my age is not the problem.

Um... What profession are you two in????:evil6:

I'm an automobile driving instructor. Why do you ask?

I'm on the steering committee for a business that is spinning its wheels.

Okay, phew! Neither one of you is engaged in the time-honored-but-largely-illegal profession that sometimes takes place in automobiles.:eek:

Running moonshine? Naw, I gave that up when I got my last DUI.

Umm... I was thinking more like... oh, never mind.

LOL. Not to knock engineers, but after I have heard a couple of engineers at my workplace arguing about which pump manufacturer is best or which fabricator to use for the next tank we have to build, it is nice to read TOTV during my lunch time at work. And at work I only read TOTV during my lunch time (well, usually just during my lunch time) :)

As a wannabee here in the Chicago area, TOTV is my primary source of information about what is going on in The Villages. For example, I would not know that TV may be expanding into Fruitland Park unless I read TOTV. TOTV has been like my textbook for getting information about moving to and living in The Villages.

.........

I'm continually amazed at the number of friends that I've made here in TV who have never heard of TOTV. I can't remember when I heard about TOTV but joined well before we decide to move here. I'm on here occasionally while surfing or when I want to buy or sell something.

Oh Gracie, I remember saying the exact same thing at the Mardi Gras in New Orleans

That would definitely tire me out...

A lot of people have trouble sleeping when they get older. Some wake up early every morning due tho having done it all their lives. Some have difficulty sleeping and go to bed later and often wake up frequently at night.
Over 100,000 people live in the Villages. As has ben pointed out those of us on TOTV are a very small percentage. A few of that small percentage post late at night and in the wee hours of the morning. I'm sure that some on here cannot get out and lead active lives for one reason or another, but that is not the norm. I have some sort of activity every day. Many times two or three in a day.

What Kitty said

I think the majority of people who move here, have projects to do around the house or just start on building their activities list.

I personally find that just being here, cuts down on the time I would spend on TOTV as I was very addicted when I was up north. It is a great place to meet wonderful new friends and to obtain much needed information.

I just you will find when you get here. LOL
