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....

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

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

Newcomers will likely ask where people go if there is a tornado warning since there are no basements here!

Newcomers will likely be staring at the beautiful clouds and taking pictures of them on a daily basis (hope I always remain a newcomer in that respect)!

Newcomers will likely ask where they can take the excess "stuff" from up north that they HAD to bring with them!

Newcomers will likely trade their gas-guzzling SUV for a more efficient car!

When they announce a tornado watch ANYWHERE in Florida you grab your flashlight, charged cell phone and dogs and jump in the closet.

The newbies are the ones still asking where the new mall will be built, the one with all the upscale stores and restaurants.

Yep, the one with the Coach store. It will be right next to the water park.

Your turn.

I have been in the villages for over 3 years now, and have been appalled at the way some Villagers dress to go out to dinner at nice restaurants & country clubs, concerts at Savannah Center, & even church. Ladies usually look very nice, but it's time to clean out hubby's closet & get him some new shorts & shirts that match that don't look like they belong at the nearest Salvation Army store! I think the newer resident's are bucking the trend to wear "anything anywhere", and are improving the image of TV overall.
