Do you really eat dinner at 4:00??? ��

Cisco Kid 06-14-2014 05:39 PM

They don't go to TOTV and complain about their worst every meal, at a restaurant they are never going back to.

jdsl1998 06-14-2014 05:51 PM

Goggle eyed....

vj1213 06-14-2014 06:01 PM

We will be watching for you. I hope you love it as much as we do!

1. I still use a GPS to get to Best Buy.
2. I talk to strangers. (love my neighbors .. they're not even strange!)
3. I went with Comcast.
4. I still hang out with my realtor.
5. What do you mean I need gutters? (Rains in Gilchrist?)

By the golf cart they're driving... maybe? :a20:

They can be seen driving a non street legal golf cart in a roundabout.

And vice-versa. Driving a car on a golf cart path.

Bonanza 06-14-2014 08:54 PM

OMG!

Microcodeboy 06-14-2014 09:29 PM

Yep, you have to, it's lights out at 9pm. Strictly enforced by GM himself.

Gillies, be very careful whether to get gutters. We are on clay, which does not drain well and compacts easily.
The two downspouts from my neighbor's gutters pour out such a torrent into an area between our houses where a riding mower is used, that the combined compaction and erosion have caused ruts and holes where grass would otherwise have grown.

Yes, check your soil out first. We in our part of Tamarind Grove all have gutters (mainly to keep rain from splashing into the lanai and staining the driveway), but we have no drainage problems.

We are closing on our house on the 24th of this month and are guilty of all these things (except our slow moving, white, Yamaha gas golf car had a sunbrella - but we didn't know what it was at the time). But there is one truly marvelous thing no one has mentioned. The fact that we can insist to our 21 year old son that he can't swim in the adult pools!

Ruthtomnorma3 06-14-2014 10:39 PM

They stop to ask directions.....but prior to the question....
Just outright tell you "WE ARE NEW AND LOST"
No need to beat around the bush....
immediately we got directions...GPS doesn't always work,especially for the newer areas.

Nevermind. Missed some of the other posts. :)

Me too! I told ours he had to go in the kiddie pool.
He is turning 30 this Summer but I had fun while it lasted. :girlneener:

jblum315 06-15-2014 02:51 AM

They wanna know, "Isn't there a Wegman's here? And a Costco?"

Cisco Kid 06-15-2014 05:24 AM

?????????????????????????????????????????????
 
I hope someone will open a thread to answer all of the questions that have been posted here, that them silly new comers ask . ( so I will not look stupid later )

salpal 06-15-2014 06:15 AM

They ask you: "So, how hot does it really get here in the summer?"
and
They don't automatically know where every restroom in every restaurant is located.

bonrich 06-15-2014 06:18 AM

Lots of cars on Buena Vista and Morse. The roundabouts filled up, golf carts travelling to and fro. Can't get those few groceries needed. Why? Cause it's 9:05 PM and everything in the "bubble" closes.

OK - I have to admit that was me over two years ago! I could not believe they would name a grocery store "Pube-lix". :1rotfl:

Ooops, guilty, did that on one of our first visits :throwtomatoes:

BarryRX 06-15-2014 07:36 AM

They don't have golf glove hand yet (when one hand is more tan than the other).

Wandatime 06-15-2014 07:47 AM

They think The Villages have squadrons of cigarette butt and dog poop fairies?

That's how I spot an old person in TV.

nitehawk 06-15-2014 08:13 AM

They go to town squares

manaboutown 06-15-2014 08:32 AM

They are shocked while they are sitting on a country club patio quietly enjoying a drink or a meal when someone sits down near, them, lights up a smoke, and is allowed to do so there!

DougB 06-15-2014 08:33 AM

They tell their friends they just moved to a gated community.

ilovetv 06-15-2014 08:56 AM

They have suits and silk resort wear in dry cleaning bags in the car.

:shocked::shocked:

graciegirl 06-15-2014 09:13 AM

They wear high heels. They wear sports jackets. They have shoulder length hair...guys AND girls.

marianne237 06-15-2014 11:43 AM

Also a lot of chuckles from us new people as well. Didn't know we were so obvious but now I know some of the things not to do.

Or they don't have a tan line on their feet/ankles from wearing ankle socks on the golf course. Just can't get rid of that....:(

RErmer 06-15-2014 12:20 PM

They haven't started an addition to their house/lanai yet!

Cisco Kid 06-15-2014 12:26 PM

Some of this stuff make me think the developer may have been Walmart.
