I have met many very special people, learned so much about things I knew nothing about and have had fun doing it.

Now about the Morse family. I don't know them, have never met them, and probably never will. However; they created from nothing the fastest growing real estate market in the country, the number 1 rated retirement community in the country, with the most golf holes of any single destination in the world. They built a paradise for all of us. They provided jobs to thousands of people, built schools for the workers children, and did it in a very depressed area of the country. Thank god we have business people willing to take those risks, make those decisions and make the required investments to accomplish what they did.

Ditto to most of the things said...
At this point the most important for us is the possitive nature of the site. Having a lot there (hi Charlotters) and being here, and Joe in VA, it is wonderful to be part of TV in this way. I am meeting people, learning things, picturing you at the squares ... Basically, it keeps me positive about our choice and keeps me part of the lifestyle even if through your words.
From a going-to-be ...thanks to all of you ....keep it going!

I will have to remember that line. Have not heard it before. Like it.

The Bogart character, Captain Queeg, in the Caine Mutiny could have used it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Caine_Mutiny_(film)

When we are in summer exile back in Canada, we feel very "out of touch". TOTV is a great vehicle for keeping us up-to-date on all the local chit chat.

I worked in the medical field most of my life.....and dealt with oncology..cancer..for a great deal of that time. When we had a patient who did really well, it was such a great feeling. To think that perhaps a patient was still around when other physicians had given up on that patient, was like winning the lottery.

I was thinking........imagine how the Morse family feels when they see so many happy faces in TV. They have to be thrilled!
Kudos to the Morse family!

Great list!

TOTV feels like family. It also keeps me connected with Lower Paradise when I'm not there.

Most gratifying is that many online friends have become offline friends whom I treasure.

Many more, I hope, are friends I haven't met yet.

Ditto PT.

Have been playing golf and chuming around with Jeanette and Bill. We met them at your gathering at RedSauce. Thanks for the intro.

When you coming down to play with us?
