That's a good judgment.

I do use Snopes.com once in a while.

Where did you hear that? Or, are you just stating unfounded and unsubstantiated rumors?

Florida will collect state income tax from retirees. The amount due will be based on what they would have paid to the states from which they came.

Florida also to prohibit happy hour pricing in bars to discourage the excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages .

Gary Morse will form a partnership with Tesla, to build golf carts with a solar battery, that will last forever. No more smelling fumes, when driving around TV.

Everyone will be required to purchase one, if they have a gas cart, and those who have battery type cart, will be required to switch, when their batteries die.

Gary Morse is that powerful. :D

I heard that! And fences are allowed. And......there will be a lake beach for nudists.

Like the book and TV series "Under the Dome", Developer will invest megabucks installing a huuuuge dome over entire The Villages area.
All residents receive force field entry cards to come&go. Non-res = like a toll. $2.50 to enter TV and must exit within 6 hours. The domed area will be climate controlled, kept at 74 degrees year 'round with 40% humidity. For fun during a few days around Christmas, they turn us into a giant snowglobe and we get a taste of the North.

On a similar topic, we call it "The Bubble". My Other half and I are on opposite ends of the political spectrum. Since moving here in Feb - we are under the Bubble - do not talk (yell...) politics or watch cable news stuff. peace...nice. LOVE The Bubble.

Monorail being built starting in December will run from Spanish Springs through Lake Sumter Landing to Brownwood into the big mall at the end

asianthree 08-03-2014 09:14 AM

We will no longer be a 55 and over community. All houses will be sold to people under the age of 40 and only 20% will be allowed to be 55 and over

nitehawk 08-03-2014 09:19 AM

Article in the "Texas Post" about The Villages starting a retirement community in north west Texas in 2015

OOH! I like this one!

Ya Know, THAT can actually be managed!:wave:

The newest club will feature Alligator Wrestling, at a pond TBA

Nobody, man or woman, will be allowed to wear shorts above their knees. Or madras of any type.

marianne237 08-03-2014 11:47 AM

Boy, these rumors are great. Should have this again around April 1st....love the thought of a zip line, but how about a monorail from SP to Brownwood?

We get a real bubble, with HVAC.
And on Christmas Eve the bubble opens for snow that doesn't land on the sidewalks or the streets.


[i think i just blew my mind]

That's amusing. Quentin Tarantino though? He would have the lovers going at the complaining witnesses with baseball bats and cutting off ears for souvenirs.

Woody Allen might be more appropriate.

Yes, it will be quirky and gory, no doubt. I hear that Danny Trejo is in the running for the toy boy role.

This sounds like a great idea!!!! :smiley:

On Labor Day, Sept. 1, all dogs living in The Villages will be allowed to poop and pee wherever they want and Village workers will clean it up.

KayakerNC 08-03-2014 04:24 PM

A massive sink-hole opens up, destroying Spanish Springs. In the rubble an underground research and testing facility, owned by the Umbrella Corporation, loses power and hordes of mutated zombies, created by the T-virus, escape and begin to roam through The Villages. The mutated monstrosities are not stopped by the gates or the round-abouts, and in a few days most of the remaining populace have succumbed to the T-virus and become zombies.
The Florida government creates a cover-story, and the outside world remains unaware.

No, No, No.

Lake Sumter is going to be drained, filled in & the MORSE MALL will be built there. It will have Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue & Neiman-Marcus, with a new Publix, Trader Joes, & Costco on each corner. For your shopping convenience, golf carts, bikes & dogs will all be allowed inside the mall.

nicoletta 08-05-2014 11:19 AM

nicoletta 08-05-2014 11:22 AM

nicoletta 08-05-2014 11:23 AM

Bruiser1 08-05-2014 01:18 PM

Due to diminished attendance at concerts, Paul & Ringo decide to form The Beatles 2.
Danni Harrison will Join to Represent George.
