Your wright there is a lot of transparency about living at the villages pro and cons especially about how it is run, areas were to purchase, renters, and traffic. great job the talk of the villiages is doing.

Looks like GG comes to this forum multiple times a week, but choosing not to post.

So guessing just doing a drive by of all the threads, to see what the hot thread. Or to see if her name pops up and if there are fond memories to read

I miss Gracie also and believe that many others do as well. She added many things to this board but most of all some balance. I think she got tired of "the minority."

She was a Dear Friend for at least the first 5 years and treated me and my wife like royalty when we were brand new. I'll always appreciate and think of Gracie fondly. She's a good-hearted soul with a great family.

Rules are rougher for me to follow as I age. I wanna do things my way cause I earned the right to damn it! Unfortunately, I've been spanked several times on TOTV'S and it hurt like hell. Imagine someone who had so much more time than I being spanked. At a certain point, I wouldn't put up with it either. We had a poster at that time who was off the hook rotten to everyone and seemed to skate on all issues. Punishment, rule wise was not handed out equally.

Wherever you are Mrs. Gracie I hope you are thriving.

Was she really "spanked" that often? If she was, I didn't see it...

Seems to me that she got away with a lot and when she finally was spanked, she took her ball and went home...

But, that's just my view of what happened... I'm sure there will be those who disagree...

Agree. Or got spanked so often, got sent to permanent timeout.

I could nominate several others, for permanent time out, that far exceed anything Gracie ever posted.
I don’t think she was given “permanent” time out.

Nope. Not banned...

Good morning,

Those of us who have been around here since almost the beginning have seen it all.

I disagree with the pattern of trying to embarrass newer posters who ask questions.

First of all, not everybody automatically knows how to do a search on here, and even if they do, the information to be found could be incomplete or quite dated. And sometimes people just want opinions or want to add further information to their own thinking.

Besides, a search can be time-consuming.

There is nothing wrong with asking questions. There are lots of newer posters and those posters might have questions — or answers. And some of us who have been around here forever might not mind answering — even if we already did — hundreds of years ago.

There is a definite pattern to the “go-look-it-up” responses. I find such posts to be rude in tone, coming off like high school kids saying, “We are sitting at the cool kids’ table and you’re not.” It’s an old routine.

As far as silly threads go, so what. I always wonder if posters who criticize the silly threads try to direct allll the different conversations when attending a big social gathering. Do they run around from group to group to make sure they approve of every conversation?

The NOTHING thread is still going strong with occasional visits by its creator Kenswing. I do not think Barefoot looks at Talk of the Villages any more but Nucky is also here as people can see.

Not sure who created the first NOTHING thread which was in the Political Forum.

But between the two there are a lot of posts. Probably closing in on 3 million.

Think GC went on to greener pastures for her.
