..And I thought I was the only one addicted to TOTV.

about SkyGuy
 
To PTurner, I wondered about Skyguy too so I PM'd him. His is ok just was gone for a couple of weeks.

I am guilty of checking in often also. If I mention TV one more time at work, my coworkers might beat me over the head with whatever is handy. I am sure they are sick of hearing me talk about it. I even have one of the floor plans pinned to my cubical wall to remind me of what I am working towards.

I turn off the sound on my laptop when I want to check out new listings. I am torn between a Patio Villa (I am one person, how much room do I really need?) and the Woodlawn courtyard villa.

Schaumberg and I are in similar situations. I am a wanna be who is planning on being a FROG some day. Not today, not this week, not this year but some day.

I visited for a short afternoon two years ago. Instead of making things better, it made my itch 200% worse. Sigh.

Can't say I check in during the middle of the night, I tend to sleep like a rock.

Gail, we are in the same boat. We went for a 5 day visit last month, now it's all I think about. I've quit talking about it to friends and family, they won't understand until they come to visit.

I am not addicted
 
I am currently in Mid-Atlantic and my license plate frame is of TV. I have two caps with TV logo which I wear most of the time. I have 4 T-shirts with TV designs which I wear puttering around the house. I do on occasions go to You Tube and watch the same developers presentations. I do go to Yelp to see what reviews are there for TV restaurants though I am 900 miles north. I do spend a couple of hours in the morning reading TOTV chats but I don't consider myself an addict.

:1rotfl:

Step One is admitting you have a problem............. :D And trust me, you're not the only one. "Who....me???", Bill queried. :shocked:

After checking the posts, I then go on to "THEVILLAGES.COM" just to look at all of the new listings, both new construction and pre-owned. It's gotten so bad, I turned the volume down on my speakers so my husband can't hear the Villages theme song...help!! :22yikes: The first step to getting help is recognizing you have a problem, upside to that is realizing that there is a solution...all it's going to take is to sell everything and retire...see you soon and keep the posts coming!

Trish,

This could just as easily have been written by me. Since I got The Villages bug, I can't stop thinking about how I'm going to spend my time there, where I'll live, and who I'll hang out with, and I'm still a good year and a half away from retirement.

Oh well, it beats checking Facebook and Twitter, doesn't it?

Jim

Us too!!
 
We have had the disease for three years now. It only gets worse as the years pass ( and they pass very slowly) . I sometimes call my wife at work and play the Villages song, or send her a picture of Sumpter landing. This thing controlls our life. We recently took a couple weeks to visit family in Michigan and came back through the Shennandoa Valley in Virginia. I am more excited about our next visit to TV (Labor Day) than I was our trip to Michigan. Therapy won't work. Hang in there all! We are trying.LB & LB

LB 07-28-2011 05:35 PM

Oh forgot to mention
 
The first thing I go to on the internet each morning before work is the web cams of Sumpter and Spanish Springs. Can't wait until there is on in the new square!! Always check in again after 5:00 PM to the web cams again!!

Gail and Trish, My nine year old niece thinks I'm moving to TV in a few months (I think she's planning on a trip to Disney World and she wants to stay with me). I keep telling her, not this year, not next year but someday...my goal is to be in TV by the time she graduates from high school, God willing and the creek don't rise... And is 2 visits to TV this year another sign of addiction?? I'm guilty as charged, but I get 6 weeks of vacation, so I might as well put a couple of those weeks to good use.

Trish Crocker 07-28-2011 10:10 PM

Just got back from a great evening...and got to spend it with Gail...she's a fellow totv fanatic and we met at a wine tasting tonight. Thanks for coming Gail, great meeting you and can't wait to meet at TV~

I wish you folks would get hold of yourselves. Take stock. Follow the Zen teachings and you will find that you need nothing....nothing at all.

I am going to stop now and have an early lunch and then get back to TOTV so I can post some more Ciao.:thumbup:
