REALITY-we all have a CHOICE to read it or NOT. Also, a CHOICE to reply or NOT.
A 14 day ban? My OPINION when people resort to name calling it lowers my OPINION of them.

Evidently the only way to live here is you have to drink the Kool-Aid and accept everything as it is UNLESS the other person agrees with your complaint THEN it's OK to not sell. :)

Any YES, moving from the northeast has been traumatic. 5 years next week and I still can't fully adjust to some of the stuff around here both regarding the location and the population. A lot of the good overrides some of the bad but some of the bad is just bad. There were things where I lived previously for 60+ years I didn't like either. One learns to overlook the bad most of the time.
Perfect example of the OP.............:clap2:
Some folks do not understand when they are miserable because they enjoy being miserable. I guess that even a few nice photos shared is also "click bait" to some.

By that do you mean:

people who look at what was considered weeds where they came from, and miss the grass?

people who are confounded that they have to wash the outside of their house every few months to get the mold off the siding?

people who would love nothing more than to sit in the back yard watching the sunset but are viciously attacked by fire ants?

people whose only previous experience with cockroaches were the little ones in their studio apartment that they shared with 2 other people in a city walk-up during their senior year of college, and now are seeing the "big guys" raiding the fridge and making themselves at home on the couch?

people whose previous community involved a majority of drivers who used their turn signals consistently and correctly?

people whose previous community did NOT involve a bunch of political nuts plastering "This guy sucks" on their bumper stickers and golf cart windshields and raising "this guy sucks" flags on their flagpoles?

people who didn't need deed restrictions to know that it was important to maintain their yard, and that an entire block of white crosses was actually offensive to some of the neighbors so maybe put those things in the back yard instead?

people who are more concerned about their freedoms and rights than peaceful cohabitation with their neighbors?

My -neighborhood- where I live right now, is mostly peaceful, we get along, we help each other.

But there's one guy who has a big ugly metal trailer on his driveway - been there for a couple of months, with no sign of them preparing to move it. It's a storage trailer. OUR deed restrictions don't prohibit this. And yet - he's the only one in the entire section of the Villages where it's "allowed" that has one. Why is that? To me, it's because - he doesn't give a flying fart about the rest of the neighborhood. He's allowed, so dammit he'll do what he wants and to heck with everyone else.

We have another who has parties at their house every week, which would be okay except their pals block the driveways of the houses next to them, they're loud and obnoxious, none of them are over 50 (let alone 55), and they're slovenly. They don't -care- that their neighborhood, while modest in quality, makes some attempt at keeping the properties maintained and looking decent, and that they are the ONLY neighbors in the entire neighborhood that are like this.

They live in their own worlds, and don't care that the entire rest of the neighborhood has to deal with them. They don't care that their next door neighbor has to endure seeing the guy sitting in his lounge chair with no shirt, in his boxers with an open front fly, displaying his altogethers to whoever walks past or happens to be out in their OWN lanai next door, just trying to enjoy the weather with a cup of coffee.

I shouldn't have to move. I was here before those people. And if I moved every time I met a neighbor I didn't like in life, I'd be living in a tent somewhere by myself.

You can't pick your neighbors. Sometimes you're just stuck with them, like it or not. You can't choose who will drive in front of you on the road. Sometimes you're just stuck with morons who don't know their left from their right. You can't choose who will drive anywhere near you - there will be pieces of crap who will insist on paying attention to their cell phone instead of the road while they cut in front of you and come to a complete stop in the middle of the road, because they need to yell at their spouse who forgot to replace their hearing aid battery and can't hear what she's saying.

Does this make me miserable all the time? Of course not. I'm mostly a happy person. Does it make me feel miserable during the individual incidents? You bet. It harshes my mellow. Do I get over it? Yup, sure do. Usually a few minutes later.

Does it mean I should leave? Nope.

Does it mean you have to be able to relate to it? Nope.

I am, however, amazed by people who are incapable of comprehending why some folks have - human responses - to human experiences.
Wow, what a diatribe of an abundance of words that probably could/can be condensed into one or two sentences. I apologize for not reading it in it's entirety, because even though it was structured like a poem, it was NOT poetry.

Back when I first came on ToTV there were "someone" who disparaged the community, the developer etc. I asked the question to one individual with "then why do you live here?" The answer that came back was "because I like the life-style!" Really?? My take is, you can't take it both ways. Some people will complain and gripe because they lack something within themselves. They can't find satisfaction with anything. Social media is an outlet for them (anonymously) to dump. What I would say to them....start a gratitude journal. List everything you're actually grateful for.....then see if the attitude changes.

More wisdom from my dad. If, you think you understand your wife you are wrong. Even if you do it will change shortly.

"The wife loves it and the guy hates it." i could write a book on that. First of all we allow the use of the word HATE, far too often. Not too long ago everything was awesome. The word was so over used that it lost all meaning. I do my best to keep my HATE LIST
empty. Empty so that when something qualifies for the list I can give it my full attention.
Right now it is empty.

You can find something to like anywhere. There is always the sport of trying to understand your wife.

Hate is a mindless yet powerful emotion. It feeds on itself. It is a MOB emotion. We see it endlessly HOW CAN YOU NOT?

I think it depends on how much do you like to come home? If one of you is really unhappy, how long do you expect the other one to stay happy?

The Thanksgiving tradition. So much of this is not new. I find history interesting in that what we think are new issues are actually very old. As I've said people will always complain. Solutions posted are rare indeed. Someone mentioned Abe Lincoln. Abe Lincoln was the one to make Thanksgiving a national holiday. I don't think anyone does not agree that our citizenry is severely divided. Imagine how divided our people were at the end of the civil war? Almost every family lost someone or something. In a brilliant yet simple act, Abe Lincoln a great leader came up with the idea of a national day of thanksgiving. No one could object to that.

As far as social media. Most are one line. Posters, assume that you fill in the MISSING details with proper information and that you know or care to know their life history while we all hide behind anonymity . It is clearly a problem with no solution

As I regularly say, or try to say. All need to find their own answers. I'm no cockeyed optimist. Happiness is a choice.

Honestly, I moved here to put some distance between us and family. Didn't like the drama. I do not care whether anyone else in the Villages likes it or not. I am fine with it, but I was also fine with my last home. What other folks think about the Villages doesn't matter because it has absolutely no effect on how I think of it. But, one of the many things that I do like that comes to mind is the fact that in every neighborhood in the Villages, there is ALWAYS a neighbor that is at home, in case one has an emergency. There is always someone in the neighborhood that "SEES" anything unusual happening. And there is always someone around to lend a hand when one needs assistance. Generally speaking, even though some are cold spirited persons from the proverbial "Northern" territories/states, they are good people. I don't know if it is just the general attitude here or what, but most folks that seem to be harsh still come thru when someone needs assistance or directions.
Yep, some neighbors complain about the "developers" but I ignore it. As far as I am concerned, after I purchased I did not need to have any association with the "developers." When I first moved here, I subscribed to the "Sun" but found that I was just recycling a lot of paper that I did not even get a chance to peruse. I discontinued it because it turned out to be a waste of a few bucks that could be used elsewhere. My spouse loves it here so that is all that matters to me. Keep your dogs off my lawn and I will have no complaints. I do not care about the stupid drivers, how you park or whether or not you knock down the gates because you are too stupid to stop. I don't care about decals on the mail boxes, or little white crosses in your yard. But, I do love it when family complains about the snow up North while I enjoy the sunshine on my legs when I wear shorts all year long. I also love it when I can go a whole year without observing a "gator" and when a family member visits, we suddenly see one that seems to be posing for us as we drive through the Villages. When you are granted years of time with your spouse that shouldn't have happened without God's intervention, you appreciate even the "grouches" in the Villages. Too bad that sharing your feelings with others doesn't always result in a change in their disposition.

Yes, but an unhappy spouse is in a great position to make sure the other one gets to share their view point.

Her post-It seems like she needed to vent. I tend to wonder about people. Some just need to criticize. Both need to ask THEMSELVES why.

Yup! My wife was, at first, hesitant to live in TV, so we rented for two months. She spent most of the time there while I went back and forth (still working).

We wound up buying after 10-12 days of coming for our first trip (again, my wife was quite hesitant), but since we've settled on the house and been to our home 5-6 times, she can't wait to get back...

Just when you think you've figured them out... ;)

With us it was the opposite. It was my family and relatives who had lived here (for decades). My hubby lived in San Diego for some time and loves the ocean. It was up to me to see if he would be ok here. First, we checked out places to live all over the US, each place had both good and bad. Finally, he agreed to try out TV. First, he liked the climate, then he liked the neighbors. Next he liked the new golf cart, now he is thinking of serious golfing. And it goes on and on. These days he is a happy camper.

I do not have the answers and if I did they would be my answers not the answers for others. I do perhaps see in many of these posts that some do not realize what the real problem is-it is them.

I am not continuously amazed; nor am I even continually amazed. Some people seem born to gripe and that is what they do. Even in a near Eden, they will be looking for the cracks in the sidewalk so to speak. Too, things that once amazed me no longer do. In fact it take a lot to amaze me much anymore. Granted, some of the unprecedented insanity that has arisen since the start of the pandemic did initially amaze me but no longer does as I have become inured to it..

The trauma of change can be likened to growing pains, part of getting to something better.
I don't think most people who tell others to move if they don't like it, are doing it to be "nice' or to help others. Generally it is being said with a mean, sarcastic tinge to it, code for "if you don't agree with me, get the heck out". As others have pointed out, nothing is perfect, there are things we like about The Villages, other things that could be improved to our way of thinking.

LOL, if you took that as a "personal insult" you shouldn't be hanging out on any computer forums. It was a generic insult. :1rotfl: However it did serve it's purpose as one would have expected generating pages of drivel posts. Yes, including my own. I'm sure TOTV appreciates these types of threads to keep up the forum traffic. Kinda like dog poop and Costco which is good because it generates revenue for them and keeps the forum running. "I'm Continuously Amazed ...." (to plagiarize your topic title) but not surprised at these types of topics in all the various forms they take as they bring out the best in all of us (NOT!). Regarding my classification of this topic (now, now, not you personally) as click-bait/trolling, what purpose did it REALLY serve but to generate all the expected responses and arguing which is the definition of trolling and click-bait?

For me... that's not true. I don't understand... if someone constantly complains about where they live, why do they live there! Move to a place that doesn't have deed restrictions, or move to a city that wasn't built by a Developer. Why don't you find a place that better suits you?
I felt the same way when I worked. I had employees that would come into my office and complain about everything. I couldn't understand why they worked there!! No one was holding a gun to their head. Find a better employer that doesn't frustrate you! But they stayed. Well... until I forced some of them out.
Can't do that here... sigh...

You can sell your home in the Villages for more than you paid for it and buy a northern home, similar to what you had. You will not only sell your villages home for more than you paid for it but the northern home will cost you more than your sold yours for..
That would depend on one's financial situation. Maybe some people moved because the cash equity in their paid off sold home where they lived for 40, 50 or 60 years allowed them to downsize and move here or in similar places because the cost of the home & taxes here was less and the C of L (that comparison chart is way off the mark for many reasons) was less. Taxes for example. Taxes up north can easily be $12-$15,000 and more a year on a small home and down here under $2,000. That's $10,000-$13,000/yr pocket money plus the equity from the sold home in the bank and have no mortgage. Maybe a spouse retired and had little or no pension and couldn't handle the cold winters. One has to realize there are a lot of people down here with a lot of money who can buy 6 homes or move every 7 months as well as a lot of people with just enough money to get by comfortably by THEIR standards for the rest of their lives on SS and a small pension with the equity in their bank accounts.. Everyone doesn't live in $600,000 homes here. There are lots of homes that were between $150-$175K (INC bond if any) 4-5 years ago and even selling those homes for $250K won't get you a life back where some came from where most everything now cost $500-600K plus $15K in taxes along with insurance and utilities 50% higher than here. It really isn't as simple as sell and move back where you came from depending on one's current life situation. Maybe for some but not for all so "if you don't like it, MOVE" may be easy to say but not easy to do.

The way I see it you can sit there and say nothing and nothing will change you then are nothing more than sheep OR you can pipe up and say stuff because if you don't nothing will change.

There are a lot of people that would rather say something in hopes that others will gather on the same idea and create change. Then there are those of you that just take it as it is and never move to change anything because you just play the hand you are dealt like nothing is wrong with it - aka the sheep.

Also the problem with this country. Personally I vent everything, it makes sense it creates change and I don't bend over for anyone.

+1…. This place is the land of milk & honey and yet people are miserable or complaining at the pool, at the restaurant, on the golf course. Little rain, high 70s at the pool, playing golf in late December and meeting/drinking with new friends - not too bad.

I try to remember to be positive, even when things are not going perfectly - and that there remain stresses, challenges in folks day to day lives - and their pasts as is the case for all of us. That said, I choose to be happy, recognize and be grateful & thankful for gifts and opportunities given to me and the situation I currently find myself in.

As someone else posted - some will find issues with everything, unfortunately they will not be happy with much of anything.

And “if you have your health, you have everything” right?

What could they be miserable about, are you sure they’re not just miserable people. 2,000 things there to do & they don’t like it there. You’re right move!

I expect you are the exception. And to look at it from another perspective, suppose you like many things about The Villages, but you have pet peeves. Are you supposed to just shut up and not mention them, when you know others feel the same way, and they are things that could be changed or improved if enough people felt that way? I think not. Its the same old argument you hear when people complain about some things in US politics. "If you don't like it, leave the country". To me, that is really disrespectful. I think the real patriots are those who are willing to voice their concerns, and do what it takes to initiate change. In the case of the Villages, it may come down to who we vote for Commissioners, or some such thing. I think its good to get the perceived weaknesses of our community out on display, so we can work on making things better. I just don't understand why people get so antagonistic about those who mention there might be problems.

I can tell you aren’t an engineer. My mind quickly goes to ‘did he calibrate his measurement equipment?’ and ‘ I bet it’s really 50.01% but I drink my beer at 12oz per half hour and the waitress takes 16 minutes to get drinks from the bar’. Then I’d be on to google trying to figure out why my beer bottle is made from brown glass.

I love a year ago or so, a guy came on here complaining about life in the villages. Turns out he had rented here 8 years prior for only a month and lives elsewhere in Florida. Why would you follow the forums of a place you hate 8 years after you left it?
