Thanks for the intro, Stephen, and welcome to a forum that was a godsend for us when we were considering purchasing in The Villages ( TV ).

Prior to buying in December, 2010, we were able to learn so much information from this forum that allowed us to maximize our Life Style visit. Although we arrived prepared to buy, we both agreed that if we weren't wowed, we would come back at another time in the future. Well, we were indeed "wowed" in the first few hours and then spent the next several days looking to purchase our piece of The Villages dream.....and we found it.

Take advantage of all the lessons learned that forum members will share with you. The TOTV members certainly helped us and we are here to help you and others with questions you will, no doubt, have about TV. After all, we all have been there at one point in time.

Again, welcome!

Welcome to TOTV, my Canadian neighbor.

If you write a clever or interesting post, you may be lucky??? enough to win the coveted SPOTD Award.....that would be SWIMDAWG Post of the Day Award.

Nice to meet you! Have you been to The Villages yet? Do you know what and where you want to buy?

Welcome to TOTV! I've made a lot of friends here! I'm sure you will too!

Angie, I like your humor.


Welcome Steve, you'll like it here.

Hi Steve and welcome to TV. I have a special message I've been asked to pass on to you:

"Hello Stephen! I'm sorry I cannot address you directly. They don't allow me to have or use a computer in here. They don't even allow me to use any sharp objects. I understand Stephen that you're interested in coming to TV and to eventually live here. I hope to ea... ah, I mean meet you some day!

I'm not going to tell you Stephen, to bring your check book with you; I'm not going to tell you how great TV is; I'm not going to tell you Stephen just how much you're going to love it here or that you'll find a whole lot to do. I won't even tell you how wonderful the people here on TOTV are! Why... you may ask? Well the answer is simple Stephen. Everybody else has already told it all to you for me.

You may want to know how I feel about you coming to TV, or at least you should be Stephen. People have moved here without being concerned how I feel about it. Well Stephen, I'm afraid to say that they are no longer with us. Matter of fact they are no longer anywhere! With you however it's a different matter. You seem to be an interesting person who would fit in with the lifestyle found in TV. I don't think you'll have a problem Stephen, in fact I'm pretty sure of it. Besides Stephen, TV would be a less interesting place without you in it. Enjoy!"

Sincerely yours,
Hannible Lector

So Steve, it looks like everythings going to be fine and you'll be an accepted member of the community... maybe!

Skyguy...Stephen doesn't even know you! This was a scary post. Oh wait....I don't even know you either! Well, if he get's your sense of humor, he will appreciate it. I must say I have to chuckle at some of the things you say and you are very clever. Carry on......
