Everyone was gone most of the day and at the Square at night. We have only moved in for 3 months now the person across the street wont speak and just stand there and looks at you. On 4th of July my friends were in a golf cart and the same person across the street was in the car as we passed he turn around and drove by us and then turn around and came back just looking at us. We have never been in a Neighbourhood that no one talk to anyone only a few people. The ones that do talk said they have never lived in a place where the neighbours don't talk much. We are ready to find a new place to go......

Walt I loved your response. I have a neighbor across the street who is agorophobic. If she comes out of her house, it is to put the garbage on the driveway and then she runs like the wind back inside. I also have a neighbor 2 blocks over who thinks she runs the neighborhood social club because she's been the treasurer for 10 years. She's just plain nasty. We just laugh. People are people. What are you going to do except keep your friends close and ignore the others. IMHO

Just an FYI - I am the absolute worst neighbor anybody could ever have. Soft chocolate chip cookies (light on the chips) could perhaps sway me to improve my "neighborly demeanor". Sandy and I will be back in TV in early September.

Thank you -

I conclude from your posts that there is only one neighbor who seems to give you the cold shoulder. Continue to try to engage with him. If this doesn't work just pass him by and get to know your other neighbors. Look into your villages social club, go to their events. You will find there are a lot of friendly people in your neighborhood and in the greater Village.
There are some like him everywhere so don't feel alone.
Welcome to The Villages, we are glad to have you.

And she must be an English major after all, her breakfast was on an English muffin...Unless of course she hails from Cincy via the UK...

Oh, gee.

I never got the connection to the English muffin. I missed it entirely.

Boomer really is an English major.
