Maybe we should also ban religious symbols, political flags in front of homes and on golf carts and let's not forget those Gnomes. Look most of the people who live here in The Villages this is their last stop, I learn to tolerate many things I don't like with that in mind. But I still don't trust those creepy Gnomes what do think they do when we are all asleep.
I’ve been told they fly to the North Pole to help the elves make the toys.
Back again every morning ..they rest all day as they look at you with that vacant stare.

I’ve seen people ride motorcycles who can barely walk usually because they are too heavy (think of motorized scooters}. Some learn to ride at age 4 on a child sized motorcycle. My gf competed in dirt bike racing when she was 5 years old, won when she was 10. She is now CEO of a large bank corporation and still a motoress.

Your choice

I am educated, medically trained and I smoke about 4 or 5 cigars a month.
I enjoy it, and if I'm not driving, I enjoy a Scotch with it.
I will soon be 90, I can walk a treadmill at 3 mph at a 10 degree incline.
And it's due to cigars and Scotch.

I don't like the smell of alcohol can we ban that from the square also? 😂

Surely you learned from Southpark that they are stealing underpants. :posting:

Let's try to be grateful for each day and allow others to be "different". Move your cart, walk away, smile; they may have a habit they can't conquer. Please don't act like you are better than, more evolved than, smarter than, and more entitled than.,.,,,,,,,or sit behind your computer and troll for arguments.
Have a habit they can't conquer? Based on that standard, I think I'll start slamming heroine and relieving myself in the town square. That should go ever well - especially when the kids are in town visiting their grandparents. Soon, we'll be able to call ourselves San Francisco.

Thank God we have the freedom to have these arguments. :bigbow:

Love the smell of a nice cigar outdoors.

Attention whores? Who's paying them? Don't you mean attention sluts? :1rotfl:

Restaurants tried having "smoking" and "non-smoking" sections inside but the ventilation systems weren't designed for it, so it didn't work. Outdoor dining areas increased in popularity so the smoking customers would have a place to go plus create a smoke free restaurant.

We are not smokers and enjoy dining outside, too. We try to sit as far away from the bar as possible because it seems that smokers congregate close to the bar. If that isn't available, we are flexible and just sit inside.

They always say go outside if you want to smoke. Now they’re outside & then the non smokers don’t like that. I don’t smoke & never did, it makes your breath stink, your clothes stink & the smokers are trying to die sooner. Plus kissing someone that smokes is like kissing an ash tray, so as long as the smokers are outside personally they can kill themselves that much sooner, the smokers are doing what we want them to do, at least they’re outside & & it’s their right. So if you don’t like it, move to another spot.

How do you know the driver in front of him was not driving slowly, enjoying the trip while enjoying a smoke?

You think cigar smoke is bad, just wait until they legalize pot. Smoke doesn't bother me unless someone purposely blows it into my face. Then we have a problem. I am surprised that some seniors on here are still complaining at this old age. Then again, I do not frequent the squares so I guess the whole issue is moot to me. I guess there is always something that triggers complaints from each of us. Just keep your dog off my lawn...:D
