What's funny is I trained with Jordan (featured in the article) on Thursday July 5th, 2007 at Asphalt Green in NYC, he gave me a ride back by my hotel which was pretty close to his office. Very nice guy.
"Active adults" and "noodlers" are contradictory terms.
I live in an active adult community; it's called suburbia.
That's true! :D Fortunately, very few of the residents are noodlers and many are just as active as I am. The gym rocks with VERY active adults of all ages. This is a 55+ community, but 10% of the homes can be sold to 50+. Since only one of the homeowners has to qualify, there are a bunch of younger spouses.
Our community is just like the forums; most of the people are really nice, encouraging, supportive, friendly, and all around great people! But, like the forums and any community (even in suburbia...), there are also those who are bullies or just plain jerks. Always one in a crowd... :shakeshead:
