Nope not the reason she hates Florida.

Heat and humidity not your friend when you are coping with seizures, diminished sight, from inoperable brain tumor, and death is knocking on your door in your 40s.

So not going to accomplish anything in your post, including not seeing her kids weddings or med school graduations.

I saw Some Kind of Heaven and didn't really take it as "a misguided hatchet job". What I saw was a sad but pretty accurate take on the problems of the elderly in America when it comes to mental health, poverty and becoming widowed. The documentary was shot here, but it could have been shot down the road at the Del Webb community or up the road at On Top of the World or basically any other retirement community in the country. They didn't say that the poor folks portrayed in those scenarios were the typical experience of folks who choose to retire to such communities.

That said, the nearly silent scenes of practice sessions by precision golf cart drivers and synchronize swimmers and such (which also could have been shot anywhere) were creepy as all get-out. They didn't intend to be a "balanced" take on retirement living any more than the ads for The Villages, Del Webb, OTOTW, etc. If you really want "hatchet jobs", check out YouTube for the videos about what supposedly really goes on with those sex-crazed seniors living here! After six years of happily living here with my wife, I'm still looking for those folks! What a laugh!

RUSTYP....peace my friend...I agree with you.

Surely the important question is

"Why have you NOT got dice dangling in your car?"

Maybe you can pick up a pair of seasonal Christmas ones.

So where do the loofas and dices hang out? I never seem to see them. But the myth continues.

My very well off girlfriend is buying a beautiful house not far from Orlando and I suggested she check out TV. She looked at me horrified, “But, it has such a bad reputation” (she meant sexually). She goes on nice cruises several times a year so I asked her, “Have you met anyone from The Villages on these cruises?” She says she has. And I asked her, “So did they strike you as promiscuous?” She said they seemed like loving couples to her.

So why this myth? It hurts me, it hurts TV. Just because one disgruntled doctor a long time ago said something stupid we now have to live with this curse?

Again, as usual, my thoughts are with you and your daughter. If you feel up to it, post about how things are going. Warm hugs.
