rats and Gators
 
Gators have a right to be there- UNLESS - they become a danger, up out of the pond and in the yard or Lanai.
The one I know about in the Tall Trees pond was never a problem but someone wanted in gone; they had to call a private gator person who baited a hook and the next day SHOT the gator and took it away. I understand the person said" i didn't know they would shoot it"

Rats - these are not City rats, as big as a cat! They are the size of a gerbil and are feed for the owls and other animals.

If they don't have food they will leave!!

I am not new to TV, and I have seen a rat (once in a while), but recently it appears to be an increase. I was hoping for a solution to the problem. I am choosing not to comment in the future. I will be leaving this forum. Life is too short!!
I do hope that you try TOTV again!

George T.

Are you the same George who came to our home? I enjoy your good natured humor on here so much!

I don't think there is a clique. There are frequent posters on here who banter back and forth, but I have always felt that everyone is welcome. We all have our own views and our own styles and our own opinions...and we are older and a little stubborn and a little opinionated. Most of us have never met the other posters in person.

Gracie
Nope, never been to your home. No problem but I beg to differ, there is a clique (yes, I used the wrong word ....click). When one of the clique is questioned or criticized the rest of the posse want to hang the guy. I don't really care anymore. The site is way more important to me then some of the posters.

If they let me in to their clique, then you will have no problems joining in with the rest of us mental deranged TVer's. Yepper if you ain't having fun you are in the wrong town. Come to the TOTV thingie and meet some face to face. It will change your whole attitude about the board.

Patlyn. I apologize, someone on this forum who I just absolutely love and respect has pointed out that I have been rude to you in asking if you had changed names. I honestly, did NOT think of it as being rude, until she said so. I think that a lot of people come on with new names from time to time, and I see no harm in it. I was just wondering if you had a new name, or if you were someone who used to post a long time ago and had some sad or angry interchange. I will not ask anyone new again the same question. I would not have done it at all, if I thought it was rude. Tony called me for it some time ago, and frankly I was confused and discouraged as to why he did. But now since someone I know well, and respect completely has pointed out I should not question new posters, I will not do it again. EVER.
Patlyn. Perhaps you did not see this apology? I would not hurt someone on purpose. I will say it again. I am sorry.

Graciegirl, you are the kindest, most charming lady I have had the pleasure of meeting since arriving in TV. But remember I still do NRA Home Portection Classes. LOL

That description of TVer's clique members certainly cinches my qualification for the clique!

I'm not the president but sure. Oh wait, am I even part of the clique? Please?

It takes all kinds to make this world go round...
 
It occurs to me that there are many differing personalities and, therefore, many differing reasons a person posts. Some just want information and some want relationship. Neither approach is the wrong one but sometimes the info people just want to get to the point and perhaps get annoyed with the rel peeps. Sometimes the rel peeps enjoy the banter back and fourth and the fun.
I have often thought and still believe that since this is the written word, many nuances of conversation cannot be properly interpretted and so some take offense when others were just funnin' with ya. I enjoy it all.

Come back Patlyn, it really is a great place! Gracie has apologized now is it 3 times?

Yes, you(Russ) and Gracie and a few others are like a tag team going after me and others. Patlyn and many others have stopped posting because of attacks. Only the clique protect their own and congratulations George for being brave enough to take them on.

Larry,

Thanks for speaking up but I'm not taking on anyone. I hate confrontations. I was only stating the obvious. It seems though that this thing has gone viral. I evidently have struck a cord with several posters. TH would be proud.

Quite frankly Larry, most of the time I respond to a post I don't even look at who it is. I say what I feel as you probably know. It would be hypocritical of me to change my response based on the writer. Just because many of us have the same bent it may seem like a clique. But you know what? The vast majority of those that you think are the 'clique' have become friends in real life - the only place that really matters! I've met two, maybe three dozen or more TOTVers in person and have become friends that play golf, play pickleball, have drinks, have dinner at each other's house etc. etc. If that's a clique then more power to us!!!

And you know what? I'd love to be friends with you. I bet you'd find us all so much more likable than you're currently imagining.

Tall Trees pool also had a rat problem but I haven't seen any recently. As for the gators, this is Florida and you are likely to see them in most, if not all, retention ponds.
