My normal fee for such a study would be $ 15,300.46. Please send a check asap and will put my people right on it.

STD Reputation hard to kick!
 
While TV STD reputation is pure fiction, it is still responsible for many snickers when I tell my friends from NY that we have a winter home here. It gets a laugh but I feel it really degrades the true image of TV. Aside from a few perverts that May chose to move here for that reason, I do go out of my way to explain that STD statistics are on a county basis. TV is comprised of three counties and there really is no way to site such statical proof, even if it existed, for this reputation.
BTW some people still are afraid to go to NYC because of its reputation from the 70s 80s and 90s. In fact when in the 2000s NYC was statistically rated the second safest large city in the US.
SO WE WILL GRIN AND BARE IT, (sorry for the pun)

No, they're "aggressive" because they know that they are close to the end of their lifespan,
and want to get things done, and going slow just doesn't do it..... IMHO

The doctor’s name was Colleen McQuade. If you google the name and STDs in The Villages, you will find the original interview. I tried to copy and attach a link but couldn’t.

That shows a great PARADOX - TV Land can't simultaneously be BOTH the "Friendliest Hometown" and a dangerous mass of out of control aging "banshee, Kamikaze" aggressively vicious drivers.

Sure it can. They just give you the friendly Villages wave as they run you off the road :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

In the words of that great American David Glasgow Farragut (1801-1870),, "Dam the STDs full speed ahead"

Whenever it comes up that we have a place in TV, the STD thing is mentioned. My reply is, "Well unless you can get one playing dominos, I'm safe",,,or "from my experience, you'd have to work a lot harder to get one, than to avoid one."

The reality is that the myth that there is a community of old people all swinging and partying and sharing STDs is a lot more interesting than the reality of a community of old people playing golf, pickleball, and line dancing poorly.

Is WHITE hair considered "blonde?"

With all the folks dying of heart attacks, cancer and strokes here, I find it interesting to think that anyone is scared of a treatable case of a STD. I don't care if folks snicker when I mention living in TV. If old folks here are having such a good time (and able to) that there really was an influx of/or STD pandemic, I applaud them. Those old folks are my heroes; legends. Personally, I am not afraid of contracting any STD since I do not venture outside of my marriage and never have, and have never wished to. I consider TV to be the elephant grave yard, whereas many others think of TV as the senior Disneyland. I don't worry about blemishes on the TV name. If I cared, I would not be here. Like I said before, the truth is that there are much higher rates of STDs in other areas of the country, and definitely other areas of the world, so why worry "be happy."

10 years ago it was blond (maybe some dye involved). She was physically a "knock out" and seemed to want to dance with everyone at Katie Bells, like spread herself around, she had a great opinion of herself and it was justified by her PHYSICAL presence. The problem with her was that as the night wore on and the bar was about to close, she became more and more angry in a sly way. She seemed to like to try to get the men around her to fight .She would agitate for a fight. She might even have wanted to participate at that point. But, by then I had decided that it was time for me to go to my car.

Why is that. What do the main media outlets have against us?
