kcrazorbackfan: there is a digression than a digression. the former an aimless wandering from a topic the latter a direct and personal response to an unwelcome or welcomed side bar created by a poster.

BobnBev BY THE WAY YOU MAY WANT TO PROOF READ YOUR EDIT SIGNATURE AGAIN BECAUSE DIARREAH IS ACTUALLY SPELLED DIARRHEA
This is a fun game! BTW, Rubicon, I believe the phrase is "pay it forward", but, clearly, I knew what you meant! :P

Hi CritterLover: I can see how there can be a mix up and I am aware of pay it forward and the movie with the same title. However I did mean play it forward meaning to understanding the typo/misuse of a word is a non-issue ,ignore it, and move forward without the need to comment. However it is pleasing to see that some posters, like yourself, actually read other posters comments before replying. Thank you for taking the time to converse with me and taking an interest in what I write. I will do so in kind because after all the intent of TOTV is one of sharing.

Personal Best Regards:

they aren't actual speed bumps or anywhere near as jarring as a real speed bump just annoying, but call m & m they could use a laugh.

Never thought of hitting one of those at night! I would hope they would at least have lots of reflectors on the speed bumps. Surprised they don't have them on 3 or 4 places on every round about. I bet The Villages wouldn't want to have that getting out into national news if someones $70,000. Corvette got damaged or someones $100,000 antique car got damaged. If they want to slow these 50 mph golf carts down take some of these gate people & post them there. Me myself, the longer I live here & I do really like it here, they're slowly be surely giving me second thoughts about do I want to continue living here!

Not much seems to slow down the steady march of folks who want to live here. We are the fastest growing place in the whole country.

If THEY are slowly but surely giving you second thoughts about living here, I am sure it is somewhat reassuring to know that you can easily sell your home and make a profit.

You can move somewhere that doesn't have bumps in the road.

These are on the CART PATHS? The roads are maintained by the county and the cart paths/multi modal paths are maintained by The Villages, right?


I am guilty of not having read this whole thread. Hasn't Bogie Shooter who knows who to call told Krazorback who to call?


AHA....I just read back. Post 18, Bogie Shooter told the OP to call the CDD. Now I will pour my second cup. Things are going as they should on here.

I have made the mistake of pointing out the mistake of another. Made me feel like I was playing handball against the curb. Next think you know something unexpected like hitting a bump and bending a rim or transposing a number on a check happened to me. Just when I thought I was perfect. I read the same thing (angle vs ankle) and I believe the majority of people would just let it go....Karma.
