No, they're "neighborhood" pools. You "neighbor" in them!

what pool was it????

- Is it that you don't want to subject your sensitive eyes to bodies 20+ years younger than yours?

Much easier since I changed over to smoking a pipe!

And when you're finished smoking, you have a snorkle

The red light was placed there for a safety reason, not because someone wants to be able to sit and watch the lights change. When the safety issues change the lights and the rules change. "Right on red after stop" wasn't always the rule, the rules were changed when it was pointed out that they didn't provide additional safety.

A polite and quiet 25 year old harms no one. The rules can be enforced to remove a boisterous and disrespectful 29 year old. Unfortunately, the rules allow a boisterous and disrespectful 39 year old or a crotchety, entitled 65 year old to stay.

But if you let a 25-year old stay just because he's quiet, then you need to let a 20 year old stay for the same reason. And a 10 year old. And a newborn.

The line has been drawn at 30. If you want that changed, go ahead and try to get it changed. Until then, it's 30, whether the person is polite and quiet or not.

have you looked at what they pay? seriously?
$11. hr for 8hr shift , midnight patrol position...

seems like a simple solution, that is lost on every employer I see with a 'help wanted' sign out front.

You think these punks will obey a little old person like a cop asking to see ID??? OMG. Lol. TV won’t be able to do a damn thing about it. Just enjoy the peace there now whilst you have it. Soon TV will be like the rest of America. Lol.
Let’s not bring politics into this. EVERYONE is to blame.

I really think you should reconsider your plans regarding retiring to The Villages.
Place is an out of control nightmare.
You will be much safer in New Jersey.


PS. Amazon have tin foil hats on sale this week

So last week our oldest was at our neighborhood pool, sitting quietly reading a book. A group of females at the pool loudly making comments about no under 30 here, she needs to leave. 10 minutes later CW person stopped in, checking IDs, daughter was checked last, then wishing her a good day.

At her 55 minute time exposure she packed up, walked by the offensive group, smiled and said “ By the way I’m 47, if you would have taken better care of your skin you wouldn’t have aged so badly.

It’s the small things in life that just make you smile.

There is an age requirement. No matter how nice this couple was, they showed a very decisive, intentional lack of respect to YOU by choosing to violate the rules.

The adult pool is not your personal pool where you get to make or break the rules, or decide who gets to break them on everyone else's behalf.

If you let a 25-year old couple hang out at the 30+ pool, then you need to let the 20-year-old couple hang out at it. If you let them hang out at it, then you need to let the 15-year-old couple hang out at it. And then that 25-year-old couple should be allowed to bring their infant baby and 2-year-old.

When you break the rule to accommodate the interests of one, at the expense of the interests of everyone else, then you invalidate the rule.

We have family pools, set up JUST so that people under 30 have a place to go. That is where they should go.

It was obvious to me during the conversation that they were not aware of the rule. So no....they didn't disrespect me at all. I just didn't feel the need to be the pool police and tell them they had to leave because they lacked 5 birthdays. That's just me. Like when I see Villagers going against the rules....because some do...lol...not my place to tell them what to do. Dont want to argue about it , just my thoughts. Have a good one!!
