Hi, Bogie Shooter,
Curious why you thought that? I hope you didn't think it poisoned me! :beer3:

I always thought that drinking the kool aid was a harmless expression meaning that you are just buying into something.

Drinking the Koolaid in TV does mean you are a goner. Just being here will do you in. You can't get it out of your mind. It is a very nice way to feel.

I really don't think people make the connection with that phrase and the suicides in Guiana many years ago. We use "He's a goner" when people are in love, or like a car etc.

You, all of you reading this, who have never been here....You are goners if you come and see what we are raving about. The water is tainted. (Is that better?)

We came down in December and tasted the Koolaid. We are now trying to sell our house so we can live in TV and sip the Koolaid every day.

Villages Koolaid is only served in the Villages sales department.

That is where you are wrong Mary Jane, and for the first time too. I mean Chuck. :duck:

I think it is served in all of the restaurants and homes and triple strength in the public drinking fountains. It can be inhaled too.:ohdear:

Actually Gracie, you may not realize it, but you don't have to be a Villager to use the Lifelong Learning College, but I believe being a Villager does give us Priority on signing up for courses. Obviously the advantages of TV is its a golf cart community, as others mentioned, it has many more golf courses, softball fields, pools, etc. (although no indoor pool or indoor gym), many more clubs, etc. Grocery stores and doctors are close by. Everything is very convenient. At least right now, there is a steady influx of newcomers, which makes it easy to meet people and to make friends. With all the clubs, too, there are many opportunities for socializing and making friends. I'm not sure you'd get that in a smaller community. Also, some of the smaller retirement communities I've seen tend to have a lot of older people. If you are younger, you may not find people your age. With the steady turnover in TV, I don't think that would be a problem.
