sschuler1, A flaming jesus is a tall shot glass where the bottom half is southern comfort , and the top half is cream de banana. You light the top for a couple of seconds then blow it out and drink it in one swallow. The banana goes down last and makes it like you didn't just drink hard liquor. In other words it's easy to drink. Then you just get a warm glow in your tummy. But look out , easy to drink means there could be trouble brewing. It was the local drink at the chelsey lake bar at the time. I lived in Dearborn heights, Livonia, Garden City,Canton, Ypsi and Ann Arbor. But I consider Colorado home, been here 30 years.
Best of luck on selling, I'm in the same boat here in CO. Cant wait to get to tv and play some euchre ,no one in CO knows what it is. Benj

Re: Moving to the Villages
 

Well the movers ( Mayflower) are finally going to be here Tuesday A.M.. 10 days later than promised and excuses and some false promises they are suppose to arrive. (Mayflower has not the last from me yet.) Thanks to Southern Lifestyles delivering our bed and a loaner sofa and some borrowed chairs we have survived. Also, thanks to Karen Madsen in Relocation for her support and added pressure. We should have the rest of our new furniture from SLS by next month.

Fortunately because Mayflower missed their promised date they had to pay us a per diem for every day late. This covered much or our most of our personal travel and living expenses. Using the TV Relocation Department got us a good rate with free insurance from the Mayflower. Anyone planning to use a moving company should be very cautious regarding their promise delivery and be prepared if late and consult with relocation if using a moving company.

Congratulations on your arrival. As they say, nothing really worthwhile is totally easy. All the "bad stuff" will be a faded memory after you're here a few weeks. Joan and I love it here..we're into our 5th week now. My daugher visited last week and compared it to living on a cruise ship...a cruise ship experience for landlubbers.

Enjoy and welcome.

PS: The first few weeks are extremely hectic and demanding with the movie-in chores, organizing stuff, etc. etc. Take time out to enjoy. The chores will still be there when you get back from Toojay's, Pickleball, golf, etc.
