THE VILLAGES — Renee Braun laughed as she read the introduction to the cover story in the September issue of the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association magazine.
“Yes, it should be The Villages,” exclaimed the Village of Summerhill resident who volunteers as the service officer for the association’s Orange Blossom Chapter 2234, serving The Villages and surrounding communities. “It definitely should be.”
The Villages emerged as the “runaway favorite” among the 600 or so association members who responded to a magazine survey for a story on the best retirement communities.

And, of course, for consideration by anyone else too!
Is it gated?
Are the gates attended by armed guards?

Where’s that clip of an (alledged) drunken Biden singing their jingle?
But many people there have deep problems...
Sexually Transmitted Diseases Running Rampant In The Villages This is a story from about four years ago, but I haven't been able to find any indication the situation has changed. I hope it has.
Only those with gold plated pension plans paid for by the taxpayers need apply...????
Do they have seperate compounds to isolate the liberals/progressives/commies/socialists/Marxists from the normal folks?

That’s what I was thinking.
I hear there’s lots of fights at KatieBelle’s, the Village’s swingles joint lol.
It’s good to be a privileged class without worry of ever losing your generous bennies.
My grandparents retired from New York and moved to The Villages. They were not federal employees; they were hard working. If there was anything for which my grandfather couldn’t pay cash, he didn’t purchase it.
Sadly, he only enjoyed his retirement for a couple of years before passing away. I’m glad for the community and the friends that my grandmother has made there.
“Sexually Transmitted Diseases Running Rampant In The Villages”
We’ll never see a warning label on Viagra that reads:
WARNING: Irresponsible use of erection stimulation medication may result in contracting sexually transmitted diseases including syphilis, gonorrhea and HIV.
I’ve been to he Villages several times and plan to retire there. If you like golf and an active...umm ...life..it’s great!
I especially like the nightly happy hour in Sumpter Square and watching the ladies line dance.

The Villages is surprisingly affordable - full rage of housing. Access to golf course s and clubs comes with the small service charge.
Lots to do. A club exists for every conceivable interests as well as a club for goofing off.
A great place to meet your second, third or fourth wife. Lots of available gals. After gay marriage makes polygamy legal, it will be a male heaven if you live long enough.
Not to forget to mention that the vote was 70,000 to 1 against the Kenyan in 2008.
Geez, I thought they were talking about the Prisoner.
Color it all (or let it go all gray, or shave it) Ponch, or is it “Paunch” by now? Just kidding, he seems like a decent guy.
Years ago, we were aquainted with a senior CHP motor officer who was often the "technical advisor" for CHIPS....he and his wife both said that Estrada was by far the nicer of the two stars....blondie had quite the 'tude apparently.
Then some California company came in, bought up all these useless lots and the PONCH began to advertise them on TV for the low, low price of $12,000.00 a lot! That is $11,400.00 fore than what the land was worth.
I’d like to consider investing in hospices local to The Villages. Sounds like a real income and growth opportunity. I mean, like, these are the kind of folks whose families don’t object to an accelerated check-out schedule, right? So per cap, they’ll push their spouses and parents into hospice at the drop of an IV needle.
fore = more.
Proofread, proofread proofread!
The world is an interesting place, and a worthwhile place. In truth, there is no such thing as “retirement”, except that which the Angel of Death delivers by order of the Boss.
These “retirees” think they are exempt of all life’s responsibilities. By their souls they are not. And one has to wonder just how conservative a person who stays in such a place of death is, exactly.
Might as well suck the taxpayer dry in a nice climate.

Well, lots of gals won’t be beneficial to me - and who wants to fight other 90 year old gals for a 95 year old guy?;) The operative words for the next sentence is “live long enough” Retirement age is a dangerous time to go sowing your wild oats :)
“Well, lots of gals won’t be beneficial to me - and who wants to fight other 90 year old gals”
Are you 90? God bless!
I hope to get to the Villages young enough to if not sew some wild oats, at least knit some. I hope my wife of 35 years doesn’t mind.
I was down there a few years ago in March, jogging shirtless down the cart path and was repeatedly ogled by the ladies. Well I think they were ogling me. Either that or they were giving me the evil eye to get out of the way.
I’m not up on what passes for ogling these days.
I heard Andy Griffith, who played a down-to-earth, good guy, all-American Sheriff, is a liberal jerk in real life.
“Men are amazing. I hope your wife of 35 years doesn’t see the commercials with all the gals or you will have to put your Village plans on hold. “
My wife has been to the Villages with me and is shopping for a house and job. She is fully aware of the female to male ratio and the infamous women. =)
She’s not worried because many of my umm ..plans... have been put on hold over the years =).
Play golf? Do ya?
Play golf? Do ya?
Most everyone in my family played golf but I tended more to horses and fishing. Sounds like you have the green grass already (you know, the grass is always greener....). Anyway, she sounds on top of things. You can still work and be in a retirement community?

My wife who is a year older than me plans on continuing to work. She’s in real estate so there’s no heavy lifting. =)
The fact of the matter is that she will most likely outlive me by many years unless she has an unfortunate accident and trips into a wood chipper.
I mostly am kidding about the Villages womanizing thing. All hat, no cows. Is that what westerners say?
If I had to start over with another woman, I don’t think I would know what to do. Is there talking involved? =)

Funny. I think every man most likely asks the same question to themselves. Not only talking, but you gotta listen!!! What a chore:)But, you know what, after being husbandless for a while, I find myself asking the same questions. Do I miss talking, discussing, listening (only on occasion), sharing my closet, sharing my bathroom, just sharing in general? My answer is NO - can’t do it. So it looks like I would be in the same boat as the guys. I am quite sure, if your lovely wife escapes the shredder, she wouldn’t replace you. If nothing else, too much trouble;)
