Thumbs up Thank you!!!

Today (4/3) about 2 PM a gentleman was walking on Pinellas Place (my backyard) and he stopped to pick up something. I could not see if it was trash or dog poop, but a BIG THANK YOU to you. There is a very special place for you in heaven.

Please have a great day.

Was he walking a dog?


Brings me to a concern. What does alligator poop look like?

No dog just the walker. I am sure he was doing a good deed.

First off, nobody deserves to be on the receiving end of a good deed more than Villagetinker, who endlessly helps out fellow Villagers, including myself. Thank you!

That’s a wonderful thing about being inside the bubble. Much higher probability of running across good deeder’s than being in the general population of the real outside world!

Smells quite different. You will easily be able to tell the difference.

I disagree. We live adjacent to the Ocala National Forest. There have been several times when neighbors or strangers have done good deeds for us.

I believe he was referring to places more like NYC, Boston, Chicago, and such.

Smaller towns are usually filled with very good people. I grew up in Bum Fkd Egypt, Pennsyltucky, and lived in big cities as as adult, and found BFE type places to be filled with good people. First to shoot a criminal but also first to help you push a car up a hill so you can pop the clutch to start it on the other side's downhill.

With The Villages being so large, and full of people from those "ignore everyone else" types of areas, it is nice to see so many people turn kind.

Most people don't know this, but alligator poop in The Villages tastes different than most alligator poop. Most say it tastes very similar, but with a golf ball aftertaste.

So true on both. I always feel safe and happy in The Villages.
