I know! I’ve not heard of the fuzzy dice thing, nor the collar thing. We moved here 3 years ago and a friend in Atlanta promptly sent me the chart about the colored loofas. I try to change mine up regularly just to keep folks on their toes. :a040:

Thanks for the link to TV article. Agree with others that he showed up with an objective attitude and he saw some things to like. He also did some work to attempt to explain some of the governmental structure.....and I admit I'm vague on some of the aspects. What is difficult is for a thirty-something to imagine the wants and needs of a 70-something. Boy, does your outlook change!

All publicity is good publicity, as long as they spell the name right.

Well, my 2 30 something sons, their wives, and my 29 step daughter all plan on living here when they retire. They LOOOVVVVEEEE The villages. I think my youngest son and his wife may like it better than we do. My grandkids too.
The kids are all Millenials, but they hate that title. My youngest is a CPA and will yell at me if I call him that. Sort of like me actually - born in 1963 and I am most Definitely NOT a boomer, I relate very well with Gen X as do all my contemporaries. Someone got that cutoff wrong for sure :)

Article flowed along with information for those that don’t live here might consider doing a drive by.

Our oldest and youngest boys have been visiting for last 6 years. Middle daughter hates all things Florida so boys will be buying her out from whatever homes we still own.

Our grandkids love the small town feel and love the quick drive to parks. Granddaughter, hopes to move into ortho trauma thinking this will be a place to land.

She respects elderly people as does her fiancé, his parents were 47 when he was born. So new gens are already making plans.

Go to city fire or gators dockside after 9 at night. I’m home by 7 so wouldn’t know for sure.

When we decided to make this our extended snowbird roost (mid-September through mid-May) we were pretty sure we wouldn't see much of the grandkids while we were here. I mean, why would they want to come to a place designed for old people.

We have 4 sets of grandkids, and 3 of them have visited. The fourth set have 4 kids, all small, and traveling just isn't much fun for the parents, so they don't go anywhere at all.
Of the 3 sets who have visited, the LOVE it. They can't wait to come back.

It just blows my mind how much young people like a place that was designed for old people. Makes me very happy, though.

your Middle daughter is the Diamond ! She has excellent reasoning skills and can see thru the smoke & mirrors...She also will never buy BitCoin or fall for an Online scam !

I’m still waiting to meet someone named Karen.

Good advertising for the Villages.

I have been here since July of 2005 so must like something about being here. And am always glad to get back.

And I too have met very few ladies named Karen. A lot of Carols and Susans.

I think it was a pretty good article.

Interestingly, after I clicked through to the article, I got an email from that website asking me to subscribe to them.

What’s wrong with throwing two 3s
