I have also picked up some wonderful info about Dr.'s and grout, and ants, and dog poop, and the best carpet cleaners in the villages. I have heard how sorry people are when a member dies or moves away, or when they go to hospice. My point is I enjoy TOTV, I believe as we grow older, we need to vent. This relieves stress, and we see so much stress and pain in the world today. So thank you village people, I think I will stay.
