He could very well be fired for saying that. I am pretty sure they are told to comment on the weather and that is about it. I did talk to one, one time who was a Michigan fan but I graciously didn't report him.


Actually I am kidding about the Michigan fan part, many took me seriously yesterday when I was having some fun with someone who views himself a gourmet.


I have NEVER had any of the Ambassadors say anything about another golfer or in any way anything that could raise eyebrows. They aren't allowed to be tough. If someone complains about them, they are gone.


I wish they could speed up slow play and I wish all new golfers took the course on golf manners and info offered for free.

It's absolutely horrible for anyone who is trying to get somewhere or shop in the areas near the town squares. We went to a few when we first moved here but gave up when we had to wait in line forever to get crappy food and then eat sitting on the sidewalk because of the ignorant people who get there early and plop themselves down at the table that are meant for food service customers. People stay in those chairs for the entire day. The people running the food really need to police the eating areas.

I had an awful experience today just trying to get to Publix. Then I had to park a quarter of a mile away.

There will be plenty of people on the squares at five o'clock on holidays. The vendors will do fine without this silliness. In fact with the food trucks and booths I wonder if the restaurants lose some business.

I like parades when I was a little kid. Not so much any more.

I assume your rant was "tongue in cheek". If not, I suggest we also get rid of 60's music, especially Beatles. Too loud, hurts my ears, bad words, and too many accents.

It you check with the GENERAL MANAGEMENT OF THE VILLAGES in all DEPARTMENTS... they will tell you unless a formal complaint is made to the respective departments.. they will not enforce the rules of The Villages.. e.g.. neighborhood ornaments etc... this goes for the chairs also... almost everything per the "RESIDENT ACADEMY CLASSES" You are not required to give your name as a complainant in person or written letters.. just make the formal complaint. If you do give your name the other party is entitled to that information... They said as a general procedure of day to day operations they will not go out and look for violations of any kind.. this mostly includes the Community Watch... they will check it out if complaints are made... SO DO YOUR PART AND KEEP THE VILLAGES IN ORDER.. thats what most of us moved here expecting I am sure..

When we first arrived here in the Villages there was the thrill of a new retired life style. The reality is the place is over crowded and the traffic can rival a big city. This has dulled the shine somewhat.

You cannot be serious. Makes me wonder what "big city" you could possibly be referring to.

Whenever I read people complaining about traffic problems here, I laugh. Coming from Northern Virginia and the beltway traffic, this place is a cakewalk. Unless you moved from Mayberry, traffic here is nothing.

Uncanny.

It honestly crossed my mind...on my previous post...to suggest that those who think traffic here is bad here should consider relocating to Mayberry or Petticoat Junction.

The snowbirds are a pain but even on it's worst day, traffic around TV comes no where near a big city.

I know what you mean about the excitement wearing off but there is still no where we would rather be....

One end of TV to another 15 minutes.

During the busy season 16.6985 minutes!

People complaining about snowbirds are a bigger pain.
