NOT EVERYONE IS LIBERAL. Vermont was a very conservative state at one time. Lots of newcomers may have changed the politcal scene, not to mention the hippies from the 1970's. You'd be surprised how the average locals do not agree with the politicians.

That's not nice to say you'd hunt the Vermont folks.

Whenever we pass through New Hampshire to get to the seacoast and up to Maine........there is always that one traffic cop up in the mountains that pulls everyone from Vermont over and gives them a ticket. Is that you?????

LOL, no but I need to find his name and go congratulate him on his common sense. I grew up in the White Mountains.

I agree a lot of the change in Vermont was because of the influx of people. The same has happened to NH with all the Mass people moving there. It is the strangest thing. People move from Mass to NH to get away from the high taxes and government control. And then they demand all the services they no longer get and the cost of government and the taxes go up. Still great country to live in, at least in the summer.

Amazing!..I am really new to this forum, but after reading the comment from Gracie, I wonder why I am even on here at all. I have only shared what I have personally seen. 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!!

Patlyn, don't be discouraged. Just like all forums this one has it's click. Right now the click has been on some sort of which hunt accusing posters of being someone else that the click banished in the past.

This is a really great site with tons and tons of useful information. I would call this site the Google of The Villages. There are also many good vendors who advertise here.

Patlyn.

What comment would that be? Perhaps you could find it and press the quote key below so that we would know.

Kindest wishes,
Gracie

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.

The recent get together on Sunday for Kathy and Gene from our home town in Cincinnati, who we met here on TOTV, was open to anyone who PM'd me.

It is never my intention to exclude anyone.

So could you tell us a little more about your view on the clique?

Kindest wishes,

Gracie

OMG, a click, or is that clique? Finally, I belong to a clique, after all these years. Thank you GracieGirl, we had a ball meeting everyone in "your clique." After being called a domestic terrorist by our government, I am a retired disabled veteran its great to belong to a clique.

Have a great day Gracie, PTurner and the rest of that wonderful clique I am now a part of. See you all at Crispers for the TOTV clique meeting.

I hate to out this nice fellow, but he is no more a domestic terrorist than I am a skilled golfer.

It was lovely to meet "Figmo" and his lovely wife in person.

Just noticed this post and need to tell you that what you saw at Colony Plaza wasn't a rat at all. It was me! I had to take a leak real bad and was heading for the nearest bush on my scooter! Time to get the goggles checked dear!

What's really amazing to me is how one can feel that it's beneith them to accept an explaination and TWO apologies from someone and not just move on and enjoy this great site.

IMHO, with all due respect, perhaps you are making the right decision to leave this forum if you're going to take every little comment personally and be a frequent unhappy camper, even if it does make you miss all of what it has to offer!

Default 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!!

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.

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.
