Many people here are in there late 50’s and 60’s they are very athletic and to older people might seem younger I’ve lived in 5 homes in the villages and I think the people out here are very friendly . If you saw me walking while driving by in a car you would think I was much younger also . I keep up my appearance and my gym routine and love the younger vibe of this area

That sheds some light on the situation. I personally am "old as dirt" and that dude dirt is pretty old. Anyone remember him from some oil or premium gas commercial? Anyone? anyone? - another old reference. Anyway, to the point, which I am ENTITLED to eventually get to - I am old and to my weary eyes, everyone over about age 50 looks the same. I used to be able to look at someone and know their age within + or - 5 years. Now I either can't or don't bother to make those distinctions. And, also, everyone from 19 to 35 looks the same to me.

I always say hello to people but, outside of The Villages, it usually scares them as they are not used to it

Thanks for your post! There is so much “ entitlement” on the golf courses, it is maddening. Please use your sand bottle. It is not a decoration!

If we want to maintain its over-used status, we have to keep using it, people!

"entitled" has been replaced with overused "racist" and "offended".

it's not as bad as you think! i haven't lost faith in the next generation. after listening to them, & hearing ALL kinds of views, these kids aren't as dumb as one might assume. what they DID learn, was to keep their mouths shut during public discussions, & not voice their TRUE feelings until alone with friends. when my daughters' friends come to visit, i give them privacy (& they don't know i'm listening, lol) & i overhear them talk about politics/today's society, etc., & these kids aren't stupid. they can see right through the nonsense & i breathe a sigh of relief
