I bought a pre-owned house and when the realtor walked me through I was looking at the landscaping I thought there was supposed to be a problem with people that don’t take care of the yard. I moved in on June 17th and couldn’t wait to get a handle on all the over growing plants cutting the lawn and the weeds. I worked 4 straight days on the outside. 1 week later I got a letter in my mail box with my address on it didn’t look at the name it was the realtors name that sold me the house. It was from The Villages and it said we thank you for bring the outside of the up to standards so we won’t charge the fee. So thanks to me the realtor didn’t get charged.

[@ronniedelaplain6722]

I cut my own lawn and edge I don’t do much so it’s good exercise for me. The heat doesn’t bother me. 13 months in Vietnam taught me that 114 degrees in the shade there in full gear.

GOODNESS GRACIOUS! "Viewer of the Week"! We're completely flabbergasted, honored and gobsmacked. Paul quipped, "And all i had to do was buy a house!"😂 (Well, it did get him out of jury duty in California...some people will go to extremes to get out of driving to Downtown L.A.😉) He was thrilled to find out that there are Mexican Train groups at the rec centers. The lightening scares the begeebers out of me. I will seriously consider the surge mitigators if they cover our electronics. We continued with the lawn company that the people we purchased the home from had. We'll let you know how that works out. You're such lovely, genuine people and so are those that follow you, and so are our new neighbors, so it will make our move less stressful. Oh, and we did not hear your dishwasher at all.😊

Good morning. We made a Home Stay visit in July and just got back from our Lifestyle Visit last week. Of course the golf carts during those visits did not have seat belts and I've got to say I felt uncomfortable, since I'm so used to it in the car. We definitely added them to the carts we ordered in July. My feeling is that my life is worth more than any cost to add them. Thank goodness The Villages "turns down" the speed of those carts.

Finally, Jerry ! You answered my question about the surge mitigator. I asked twice with the last time being only about a week ago and both times you DID acknowledge my question with a heart just to probably let me know that you read my question but no comment from you. THANK YOU for answering that very important question that I think a lot of people would want to know about ! And I'm glad to know that you do feel that the extra lightning protection is worth it since you decided to lease the mitigator as I did !

Guilty of scheduling a Lifestyle visit but then buying the home before the visit. Interest rates were moving faster than the calendar dates for our visit? We did not cancel and actually just got back from our Lifestyle Visit. At least we were able to enjoy it rather than house hunt under stress. SO MUCH FUN! Love it there. I have applied for 3 remote jobs already since I've been back (3 days) and can't wait to get there. FYI: House closed today and we had to leave before it closed. Looking forward to coming back ASAP!

[@micheleharper4276]

Please forgive me for being a buttinsky, but I took B-12 on my own without a doctor's okay and my blood got way too thick. I just wanted to put that out there, so you would have it okayed through your doctor first, I didn't want to see you do what I did. I'd rather say something than for something bad happen to you later. I usually try to mind my own business, unless it is something I've learned from experience can be harmful.

Who knew that B-12 would cause thick blood? I emptied my bottle this morning. 😞Very good to know and I can't wait to share that with my Doctor.

Jerry: a note: We got hit when we lived in Ocala in OTOW. It hit back yard. It set off car alarm in nextdoor neighbors yard. Because had the surge at the box and we also had individual surge proctors on everything. Dryer, fridge, coffee maker TVs etc. Everything went off but nothing was fried. So I would suggest besides the big one getting the individual ones and put on every single thing. Worth it.

For years(decades?) We had either cable tv or satellite TV. I had heard of cutting the cord and streaming but didn't understand it. Well just in the last month I read AARP's book on tv for seniors and I understand it now. We discontinued our pay tv ($115 a month) and bought a roku sound bar for my tv and a new roku tv for husband. A $230 expense. Now we are streaming so much tv content for free I am bewildered by all the choices. The book has a whole chapter explaining free streaming channels. There are many many many free streaming services. Excluding the $230 initial outlay, we are saving $1380 a year by cutting the cord. We do have and continue to pay the $60 a month fiber optic internet connection, necessary for streaming tv. Which we were paying all along anyway besides the pay tv. 3 years ago I looked at a roku tv at Wal-Mart and said"this is too complicated, I don't understand it". I read that book and I understood it perfectly. Went to Wal-Mart and bought a $124.00 roku tv and a roku sound bar from HSN, installed it all myself and am not paying $115 a month for tv anymore.. I love it.

Another note on the surge mitigator, I believe if it takes a hit it gets blown out and needs to be replaced. I think Seco will do that free of charge. If you purchase it outright you would probably have to replace it yourself for an additional $400. I could be wrong about that.

[@RV-there-Yet]

Now that would be good to know~ surely worth looking into before deciding whether to lease the protection or buy outright. Good question to pose Rick, thank you!
