I think I figured out why I have this need to check out TOTV...it's like I have a bunch of friends sitting around my dining room table talking about my favorite place in the world and I have to keep checking in to see what's being talked about..

Trish, As you can see you are not alone.

"TV Envy" is a serious ailment and can only be relieved by periodic visits to The Villages and eventual FROG status.

I plan to find relief in late 2012...........

Oh I forgot to mention that when I first developed my addiction I would keep the live web cam up esp in the winter and see all those wonderful peeps dancing at the squares or running around in their golf carts! That just made the cold and the snow even worse!

OK! I will admit it! I too am an addict! I am addicted to TV, TOTV and anything with TV in it! I thought I could end it all by buying a house...we make settlement next month...I go over to my new home DAILY...just a drive by... and I love it more and more... I have even stopped total strangers throughout the neighborhood and introduced myself...I hope this feeling of total happiness never ends...indeed, I AM A VILLAGER...I AM A VILLAGER...

We have been here 3 years this month and I am still excited. I am compulsive about getting my work done (reports, preps for presentations etc) before I allow myself to play. So for more than a year before we bought I would get on TOTV after my work wTOTVIt was extremely informative and helped immensely in making the choice of The Villages and the house choice as well. I also had friends when I moved here. Could not be happier. I tell everyone about it.

There are worse things than TOTV addiction. I have less time for gambling, excessive alcohol, hoarding, and hard drugs! I do have recurring nightmares of Gracie forcing cookies down my throat, PTurner cutting me with sarcasm, and Bill and Brillo forcing my computer to go down due to excessive links. My name is Ed and I am a TOTVaholic.

Ed...I wouldn't FORCE cookies down your throat....just follow me into the woods as I drop these crumbs. I am Gracie the GOOD witch.

AND after being a snowbird for three years, we are now officially frogs. This is our eighth Frog day. Going every day to watch our Frog home rising from the sand.

Already have many of you as friends and some who have turned into flesh and blood friends, and a few who are sick of me.

I just love TV and TOTV and I even love the Morses, worts and all........

To clarify, and apoligize for the confusion, I meant that as a compliment. I am one who appreciates a fine sense of sarcasm, and you stand out as one of the best, and NOT in a hurtful way. Maybe my sense of humor and expression is a little too off-center.

Oh, to be a frog! It must be so ribbiting.
