I am just rereading these post again this morning and ya know what...you full timers can stick it where the sun doesn't shine!! How dare you..we pay as much as you do every month, that is our village, equally. Your dispise for us is childish, rude, selfish and totally wrong. You are lucky you are not charged more for amenities while we are away.
This message does not go out to everyone, of course, but the ones that responded that they hate/dislike etc,etc us returning...shame on you.

Don't forget the ones who are seasonal residents in the Fruitland Park area of The Villages are called;


Fruit flies.

The people who live here year 'round are those whose grandchildren are not small anymore or they have none. Those people are called FROGS and we are here 'til we croak as we all know.

P.S. I found this, just now;

The Florida Frogs are one of the rare true frogs that can be found solely in the western parts of Florida. These frogs mostly occur in seepages or sluggish backwaters that have sand at the bottom. They have a light green body and display sexual dimorphism, wherein the males are smaller than their female counterparts and have a yellow throat.

I'm here full time and I agree with your statement. They pay just as much as I do, but they are gone for part of the year. They could be here all the time (like me) and I bet people would really complain about traffic all year long instead of just winter season. Love the snowbirds!!!

Weird. I was sure it was one of mine, since I'm an expert on everything and always right.

Snowbirds have every right to be here and enjoy their homes and community!! Many of my friends are snowbirds.
The only reason I don’t look forward to their arrival :
Grocery store shelves bare at Walmart, etc. Not snowbirds fault
Can’t get Tee Times, not their fault. New homes but not enough new Facilities ..😫
Roads congested. Not their fault. Morse and Buena Vista only main artery’s North and South - can’t handle
On and on !
Welcome Snowbirds 😎

Personally I love when the snowbirds return🥰 I find my street way too quiet and a bit lonely when they are “home”. We FROGS need some excitement in our everyday lives…just sayin…….

There are many ways people can be different besides racism.

Coming from a large busy city, I prefer the quiet time myself. It is relaxing and peaceful mostly because of fewer people around.

When I was a Snowbird, I felt insulted when anybody said I was one because it always felt like a putdown until one day a full time friend said to me, being called a "Snowbird" isn't so bad. Look at me. I'm a "Frog". I said "What does that mean?" She said "It means I'm here till I croak". I didn't like that at all!! So, from then on being called a Snowbird didn't bother me anymore and as of a few years ago, I am now a Frog.

It might be the reason you just stated. Think about how negative you were…just saying.
I do not have anything against snowbirds as long as they have good manners..welcome any time.
