You are so right!

TV certainly isn't a pig sty but we all should be very careful about "stuff" that blows out of our golf carts. It's true that a lot of the debris comes from the various contractors on our streets but candy wrappers, misc. paper items, styrofoam cups, cigarette boxes and particulary cigarette butts come from Villagers. I walk miles every week and always pick up several plastic grocery bags full during the week. Why do people toss their cig butts out of their carts? It's so disrespectful! Every able bodied person who walks should always carry their own bag and help keep our place spotless. I don't pick up cig butts but most everything else. How can you walk by and just ignore it? None of us should think we're above helping in this effort.

where do you live, certainly not in the villages? I have never seen any amount of trash in the villages on the cart paths and if I do and do not pick it up myself is usually gone but the time I come back again. Again where you live?

You sure got her excited:22yikes:

:agree: The first time I saw TV was in 2010. When my friend and I took the trolley tour and walked around TV, we both marveled at the cleanliness and the beautiful landscaping. TV is still a thing of beauty at least to this wannabee.

Butt Police
 

You have given me an idea! (watch out)
OK, here goes......Everyone in TV must give a DNA sample. Anyone finding butts or trash turns it in to the Butt Police. They do a match and send a bill to the guilty culprit for the cost of matching plus $100. fine per butt or piece of ???. The finder gets $25. plus a box of Bill's famous popcorn and the rest of the fine goes into the amenity pool for additional amentities. :laugh:

To CMANN, I live in Duval and routinely walk Odell out to Morse, St. Charles all the way around to Bailey and back to Odell, Buena Vista up to Lake Miona, Buena Vista down to 466a to Morris and Odell to Canal up to Bailey and over to Morse and back round to Odell.

Good for you.

Hey, now you're talking!!! :BigApplause:

Litter
 

While I don't agree that the Villages are a "pig sty" I too think there is a lot of trash around. On Morris into Sanibel and all along Pinellas there are plastic cups, bottles, paper, McDonald bags, construction materials etc. I think that this area is still a constrution zone so that may account for the amount of trash. I have no problem picking up the trash, and I do, I just wish it wasn't there.

Would the Morse family get their usual 10% cut too?:1rotfl:

If smokers can not properly dispose of their butts, maybe smoking should be banned on -golf courses. This type of behavior is why a lot of non-smokers continue to ask for laws which limit where smoking is legal. Smokers, clean up your act or be banned.

I'm not a golfer and I have to admit, I was very surprised to read here that smoking is allowed on the courses.......not trying to start a war here about smoking....just surprised.

This will be a futile argument. About smoking. It is more addictive as people age.

I have lost three dear friends to lung cancer this past year. I don't know how I quit some years ago but I am glad I did.

I know Gracie, it's very sad. I believe that if folks are still smoking in later life, chances are they will never stop. I watched my father in law suffer and that was when I quit. That was 26 years ago. My husband only quit when he had a heart attack and bypass surgery.

Ok, I'm done preaching.....
