Scott Kazmir Rumors
AL Central Notes: Kazmir, Sanchez, Tigers
A rebuilt Indians club should add to the mix of what was a competitive AL Central Division race during the 2012 season. While the Royals and Twins aren't expected to be much of a factor in 2013, the Indians, Tigers and White Sox may find themselves fighting for a playoff spot well into September. Let's catch up on the latest news and headlines from around the division.
- Scott Kazmir told Jordan Bastian of MLB.com that he had a variety of offers to choose from but chose to sign with the Indians mostly due to the presence of manager Terry Francona (via Twitter). The 29-year-old lefty signed a minor league deal with Cleveland in December and will be given an opportunity to crack the squad's starting rotation.
- The Twins remain uninterested in signing free agent Freddy Sanchez, who has been plagued by injuries the past two seasons, writes Darren Wolfson of 1500 ESPN (on Twitter). Sanchez, 35, last appeared in over 100 games during the 2010 season with the Giants where he posted a batting line of .292/.342/.397.
- The Tigers remain in need of a right-hander off the bench and will look to find the right piece internally before exploring the free-agent market, says Jason Beck of MLB.com. According to GM Dave Dombrowski, Danny Worth and Jeff Kobernus will receive heavy consideration for the open spot on the roster.

East Notes: Red Sox, Kazmir, Dice-K, Cashman
Economist Andrew Zimbalist says Terry Francona's portrayal of the Red Sox ownership group in his new book gives an unfair representation of John Henry, Tom Werner and Larry Lucchino's level of investment in the team, according to Alex Speier of WEEI.com. "I think they're all really smart. And I think they all really do love baseball, and I think they understand the intricacies of baseball," said Zimbalist. "John Henry is a stats guy. John Henry brought Bill James to Boston — along with some other very good sabermetricians, by the way."
Here's the latest stories and headlines making news out of the AL and NL East Divisions…
- Former Mets prospect Scott Kazmir will attempt to make a return to the big leagues this season and believes he can regain the form that made him an All-Star with the Rays, writes Mark Hale of the New York Post."If his velocity's back and his confidence is back," Kazmir's former pitching coach with the Angels, Mike Butcher, said, "this guy still could be an impact in the major leagues."
- Daisuke Matsuzaka remains on the Mets' radar as he could be an option for either the starting rotation or in the bullpen, write Matthew Cerrone and Michael Baron of MetsBlog.com. Matsuzaka, 32, just completed a six-year, $52MM contract with the Red Sox.
- Yankees GM Brian Cashman celebrates 15 years in his current post with New York today, writes Richard Justice of MLB.com. The hiring of the former Catholic University second baseman in 1998 marked owner George Steinbrenner's 14th general manager in 25 years.

Indians To Sign Scott Kazmir
The Indians have reached a minor league deal with Scott Kazmir, according to Paul Hoynes of the Plain Dealer (on Twitter). Cleveland is taking a low-risk chance on the left-hander following his strong performance in Puerto Rico this winter.
The left-hander displayed great stuff during his time in PR, throwing a 90-94 mph fastball. The 28-year-old missed the 2012 major league season but did spend some time with the independent Sugar Land Skeeters, the same club made nationally famous by their signing of Roger Clemens.
The 28-year-old had a disappointing 2011 season that included time on the disabled list, one appearance for the Angels and a 17.02 ERA with more walks than strikeouts at Triple-A. He last pitched at an All-Star level in 2008, when he posted a 3.49 ERA with 9.8 K/9 and 4.1 BB/9.

Free Agent Rumors: Lannan, Escobar, Youkilis, Drew
With plenty of rumors flying around the lobby of the Gaylord Opryland in Nashville, we're making sure we don't let anything slip through the cracks. Here are a few morning updates from around the league on some of this winter's free agents:
- Joel Sherman of the New York Post tweets that the Mets have displayed interest in the recently non-tendered John Lannan, perhaps as insurance if the team trades a starter.
- Although he hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 2009, Kelvim Escobar is healthy in winter ball and is drawing interest at the Winter Meetings, tweets ESPN.com's Buster Olney.
Earlier updates:
- The Yankees have spoken with Kevin Youkilis' agent, reports Jack Curry of the YES Network (Twitter link). According to Curry, Youkilis would consider a one-year deal if the salary was at a "premium amount."
- The Mariners are interested in free agent outfielder Nate McLouth, according to Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (via Twitter).
- A rival evaluator tells ESPN.com's Buster Olney (Twitter link) that there's "no way" Stephen Drew would sign with the Yankees to be a part-time or utility player. Drew is seeking a full-time job.
- Red Sox GM Ben Cherington acknowledged that giving up a draft pick to sign Nick Swisher would be a factor in Boston's pursuit of the outfielder (link via Sean McAdam of CSNNE.com).
- Mike Silverman of the Boston Herald hears that the Red Sox still have a chance in the Josh Hamilton sweepstakes, but it's a long shot (Twitter link).
- After getting a clean bill of health on his hand and wrist, Ian Stewart has drawn wide interest from teams looking for third base help, tweets Bob Nightengale of USA Today. Tyler Kepner of the New York Times notes (via Twitter) that Stewart could be a fit for the Yankees.
- Within his latest piece for the New York Post, Ken Davidoff hears that the Mets and Ryan Ludwick are an unlikely match, and wonders if Nick Swisher could end up with the Mariners.
- The Reds will meet with Ludwick's agent this morning, according to John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer. The veteran outfielder could accept the offer on the table from Cincinnati, though Fay speculates that the Reds are offering two years and Ludwick wants three. A two-year deal with a third-year option might work for both sides, says Fay.
- The Athletics will meet with the reps for Japanese shortstop Hiroyuki Nakajima today, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.
- The Dodgers, Giants, Brewers, Angels, and Rays are among the teams that have inquired on free agent reliever Mark Lowe, reports Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports.
- Scott Kazmir, who is throwing 90-94 mph in Puerto Rico, is drawing interest from a host of teams and could choose from a handful of offers soon, tweets Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com. However, the Mets aren't in the mix for the lefty, tweets Andy Martino of the New York Daily News.

Olney's Latest: Price, Dickey, Mariners, Kazmir
In today's Insider-only blog post, ESPN's Buster Olney says David Price is available right now for the right offer. Rival executives are convinced the reigning Cy Young Award winner will be traded in the next 13 months as his salary through arbitration becomes prohibitive for the Rays. Here are the rest of Buster's rumors…
- The Rays and Price are not close to working out a long-term contract extension.
- The Mets increased their offer to R.A. Dickey, but it's unclear how close the two sides are to a deal.
- Olney speculates that the non-tendered Nate Schierholtz could be a fit for the Yankees, who are looking for a right fielder to replace Nick Swisher.
- The Mariners have money to spend, but it appears they will have to overpay to land any premium free agents.
- Last night we learned the Phillies are pursuing Angel Pagan, and Olney clarifies (on Twitter) that the two sides have been talking for weeks.
- If the Giants don't re-sign Pagan, Olney says (on Twitter) they would seriously consider signing Shane Victorino.
- Scott Kazmir is pitching in winter ball and teams have already started to show interest in the 28-year-old left-hander, tweets Olney.
- The Tigers continue to say they are not in the market for a closer, tweets Olney.

Olney On Orioles, Red Sox, Kazmir, Heisey
Agents and players have considerably more interest in Baltimore as a potential destination now that the Orioles are viewed as a contender, ESPN.com's Buster Olney reports. "It's winning," one agent told Olney. "Period." Some free agents now list the Orioles as a team they'd like to join. Here are more notes from Olney, starting in Baltimore…
- The Orioles are looking for starting pitching and hope to bring Joe Saunders back. Jeremy Guthrie's three-year, $25MM contract could affect Saunders' asking price, as Olney points out.
- While the Orioles have talked about adding a bat, they're not expected to be particularly aggressive about free agent outfielder Josh Hamilton.
- The Marlins, Indians and Pirates are among the teams that could have trouble luring free agents even if they're offering competitive salaries.
- One AL GM credits the Red Sox for building a team that plays well in Fenway Park.
- Earlier in the offseason there had been talk that the SoftBank Hawks, the Japanese team that recently agreed to sign Bryan LaHair, could pursue veteran free agents such as Mike Napoli or Kevin Youkilis.
- A number of teams, including the Indians, are scouting left-hander Scott Kazmir, Olney writes. The Astros had some interest in Kazmir during the regular season.
- Olney suggests arbitration eligible players such as Chris Heisey and A.J. Ellis could be candidates for two or three-year extensions this winter.

NL Central Notes: Hart, Marcum, Garza, Clemens
A few notes from the NL Central to pass along …
- Brewers outfielder/first baseman Corey Hart told Milwaukee he'd like to remain with the team beyond his current contract, which expires after next season, and is willing to play whichever position he is needed at most, writes Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Hart, slated to make $10MM in 2013, also said that if the interest in keeping him in Milwaukee is mutual, potential extension talks would be best reserved for the offseason.
- Brewers right-hander Shaun Marcum, an impending free agent, is nearing a return from the disabled list and understands that he is auditioning for the 29 other Major League teams, McCalvy writes. He also notes that Marcum and the Brewers have not engaged in extension talks.
- The Cubs announced that they have transferred right-hander Matt Garza to the 60-day disabled list, and though his DL stint will expire before the end of the regular season, manager Dale Sveum added that Garza's been "shut down," according to Doug Padilla of ESPNChicago.com. Ending the season on the DL won't be good for Garza's trade value, but GM Jed Hoyer has said that the right-hander will be part of the team's 2013 rotation.
- Astros GM Jeff Luhnow said he recently sent scouts to look at Roger Clemens and Scott Kazmir of the independent-league Sugar Land Skeeters, according to the Associated Press. Clemens is rumored to be mulling a return to the Majors.

Sugar Land Skeeters Expected To Sign Scott Kazmir
The independent Sugar Land Skeeters are expected to sign left-hander Scott Kazmir, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports (on Twitter). The Skeeters are based out of Houston, Kazmir's hometown.
A number of teams, including the Mets, showed interest in Kazmir this past winter, when he worked out in front of MLB scouts. The 28-year-old had a disappointing 2011 season that included time on the disabled list, one appearance for the Angels and a 17.02 ERA with more walks than strikeouts at Triple-A. He last pitched at an All-Star level in 2008, when he posted a 3.49 ERA with 9.8 K/9 and 4.1 BB/9.
Former Astros outfielder Jason Lane is also a member of the Skeeters' pitching staff.

Mets Notes: Ownership, Wilpons, Kazmir
The big news out of Citi Field today was the settlement of the lawsuit between the Mets' owners and Irving Picard, the trustee for Bernie Madoff's victims. Here are some more items about the team, including fallout from the settlement…
- The Mets have sold 12 minority ownership shares in the club for $20MM each, reports Teri Thompson and Michael O'Keeffe of the New York Daily News. The deals were settled last week, with the buyers of seven of the shares (four for cable company SNY and one each for Saul Katz, Jeff Wilpon and Steve Cohen) publicly known. The $240MM generated by the sale of these ownership shares will go towards covering the club's operating costs for the 2012 season. The Mets have also paid back several team debts, including a $25MM loan from Major League Baseball and a $40MM loan from Bank Of America.
- "So while the Wilpons may consider themselves the day's winners, it's the fans that emerge as the losers," writes Bob Klapisch for FOX Sports. Klapisch outlines the several hundred millions in debt that the franchise still owes and predicts the Mets may face several more years of low payrolls and uncertainty.
- Scouting reports on Scott Kazmir "were not great," which is why the Mets passed on a reunion with the left-hander, writes MLB.com's Anthony DiComo. This mailbag piece also covers such topics as the Mets' training and medical staffs and center field prospect Kirk Nieuwenhuis.
- Earlier today, MLBTR's Ben Nicholson-Smith reviewed the Mets' offseason.

Quick Hits: Greinke, Indians, Aybar, Kazmir, Matsui
Angels GM Jerry Dipoto recently said that it's unlikely the club will work out an extension with Erick Aybar before Opening Day. However, Dipoto acknowledged that it's very much a possibility that the club will work out a new deal with the shortstop. Here's more on Aybar and other notes from around the baseball…
- Zack Greinke helped the Brewers evaluate pitchers prior to the draft according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy, asking to see video of prospects before the team chose hurlers Taylor Jungmann and Jed Bradley in the first round. Tom Haudricourt of The Journal Sentinel says (on Twitter) that Greinke is at Arizona State scouting right-hander Brady Rodgers with Craig Counsell tonight.
- Within this article comparing the Phillies to the late-90s Indians, Sam Donnellon of The Philadelphia Daily News says the Tribe had a deal in place to acquire Curt Schilling in 2000. "I banged hard on that one," said then-Indians GM John Hart when asked how he felt after the deal fell through.
- Aybar told reporters that he hopes to remain with the Angels beyond this season, writes Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com. The 28-year-old declined to go into details about the kind of deal he's looking for, but the Halos might not be willing to shell out major money for him with prospect Jean Segura in the fold.
- The Mets were the only club to watch Scott Kazmir throw yesterday and Sandy Alderson didn't exactly offer a ringing endorsement of the pitcher, tweets Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. A reunion between the club and left-hander is unlikely, according to Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com (via Twitter).
- Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News (via Twitter) spoke with someone that said Hideki Matsui isn't close to signing anywhere. The veteran will likely wait and see which teams have needs as spring training goes on.

Jamie Hawkesworth Photographs Ai WeiweiJuxtapoz // Wednesday, February 27, 2013
Ai Weiwei is undeniably one of the most significant and heroically provocative artists in China (and in the world for that matter) right now. If you are not familiar with why we would say such a thing, you certainly should go see Never Sorry. Recently, photographer Jamie Hawkesworth was sent to capture some images of his studio in Beijing for AnOther Magazine, and the results were stunning. Each composition is clean, simple, and telling of Ai Weiwei's circumstances.

The Villages in Florida!
We live in "The Villages" in Florida. Where do most of you retired people live? And what is it like where you made your "Trails End?"
Living in a retirement community is a great lifestyle. We have entertainment every afternoon and evening..and it is free! Get to travel all around in our golf carts. I think there are about 30.000 residents here. It is a safe place to live and it is affordable! I belong to the computer club. My husband enjoys the "Wellness Center" health club. It is an exercise center with all the updated equipment, pool, hot tub and all. He is 83 and works out 3-4 times a day. Write and tell us where you live and what you do after retirement.
If those of you who live in retirement villages don't mind, could I ask about the cost, compared to other life styles? I know some don't like to reveal financial info on the internet and I understand. But I would like to be able to compare options. Thanks, if you can provide info. Some "typical" scenarios would be useful.
Personnally, my house is paid for, and I garden, so monthly expenses are pretty low for me. If I sold my house, I could probably get $200,000, but I am not sure how long that would last, and I doubt I could live off of the interest on that amount, re-invested.
-- Marie
The cost of living in a retirement community, varies. The lowest cost of living in a retirement community would be to move to a nice Adult Retirement Mobile Home Park. There are many kind to choose from. You can buy a mobile home and buy the land. Or rent just the land and own the mobile home, or rent both.
I know here in Florida there are Retirment communities where you can buy a really nice home for $50,000 and not own the land (99 year lease). That way taxes are very low, but the maintenance fee is some higher than if you owned your own land. We have lived in both.
If you have some income and put money in an interest account
you can make it fine, especially here in Florida. I know several people that have done that and it is working out OK.
If you want any more information I will be glad to help, my email address is: firstname.lastname@example.com
Betty, In what part of Fla. is The Villages? Do they have winter rentals? DH and I would like to 'try' before we buy.
Also, I'm been reading about all the 'bugs' in Fla. That's a little scary to me. Did you move there from the north or were you always southerners?
The Villages is in central FL. Between Ocala and Leesburg, FL. Yes they have winter rentals.
As for the bugs...we have no bugs. The Villages keep that under control.
We lived in Florida for over 50 years. We are originally from Pennsylvania.
It has been a while since I checked this topic out again. I wish others would write more here so we can keep it going.
My husband and I are "house sitting" at our son's home in Ocala for 2 weeks. We are having real nice weather here in
Ocala today,(The Villages too.) We just had a nice evening rain. (much needed.) What kind of weather are y'all having in your area?
Our son flew to Russia to be married to a Russian girl. He met her on the Internet. I hope all goes well.
Try to keep this subject on Retirement going.
Betty in Florida
I am just talking!!! Someone else talk now <:->
Hi Betty,
We have had mild temperatures here on Long Island, NY for March. We usually visit Jupiter, Florida in March for a couple of weeks -- sometimes for a month, but this year we did not go south. We didn't have to.
A colleague of my husband is moving to THE VILLAGE. How long have you lived there? Is it true? 30,000 residents? My goodness that must be a big area.
Bill, I am happy for you that you will be coming to Florida. It has been in the 70's and 80's here. It sounds so cold where you are now!
What family do you have in Ft Myers? All our children live in Florida. Two were born here. We moved from cold weather back in 1955 to Florida. We love Florida!
Betty in Florida
hi betty, i have a dad,stepmom,uncle,aunt, and 2 cousins in ft.myers, also a few retired freinds. and in a few years my wife and i will also be in that area. we fly down about 3 times a year. i have been to the ocala a couple of times, for car shows and to check out the don garlets drag racing museaum. by the way what part of penn. are you from? my dad grew up in alltoona. enjoy the great weather, its 21 deg. with light snow tonite in mi. ----bill
I am from Altoona, Pa. the same as your Dad. Please tell me his full name, maybe I know him??? He would of had to attend Altoona High School. I wrote to you private, but have not heard from you.
Gina, We have only lived here in The Villages for maybe 8 month now. We lived in Orlando most of the years that we have lived in Florida. We love it here where we live now. There is so much to do here. The best part is that we can ride our golf carts to where ever we want to go here in The Villages. We really would never need a car. Everything you'd ever need is right here.
We lived in Pennsylvainia for 22 years.
Betty in Florida
My only concern is that you paint such a glowing portrait of FL living is that you'll attract more folks to live here!!
Even though Perrier Water is taken from the springs in Florida, I... a RESIDENT.. have to have a water filter to even begin to drink the water.
The dumbass County Commissioners see nothing wrong with approving a 55 acre farm for a change in zoning to residential with 15000 (yes, fifteen thousand) houses to be built in spite of our water rationing with our current houses.
Maryland is a much better state to retire to... you'll have the changing seasons, a bit of snow == but not much, clean air,,,, DON'T COME TO FLORIDA!!!
Wow Betty, is that a big place. I went to the Marion County flea market today and went home by 441/27. The buildings are beautiful. It seemed like we drove miles down the road and were still involved in the shops. Yes, I believe it would be easy to have 30,000 people there.
Elaine in Florida
Gina in FLorida.......water is becomming a big problem in the south and south west.
I went before the county commissioners in reference to how our water coop was being run. Now one of the board members is suing me. He says I defamed him. The Board was letting 70 % of our water pumped go down the river. The county commissioners just told me to get a lawyer. They also allowed a bottled water company to come in, now those with wells close by are are having trouble.
I wanted to retire in Washington State. But my husband did not. This is "Home"
A lot of people are retireing in North East Texas. Like any place it has some+++++++++ and some-----------!
Gina and everyone,
I think perhaps you are worried about the water in the very South part of Florida. But Our son, a Geologist and has his doctorate and tells me they are working on getting that improved.
He was the one that suggested that we move to the Villages. He says the water here is the best in Florida.
He wrote a book on the water in these counties. I have a copy of it. It explains everything in
detail. In short, our area lies on top of the Floridan
Aquifer. This aquifer that stores water comes to the
surface in parts of the county and consists of a highly
porous limestone called the Ocala Limestone. It was
deposited millions of years ago during the Eocene Period
from an ocean that covered all of Florida. The Floridan Aquifer extends into Georgia and represents the main source of portable water for much of Florida.
Hope this helps anyone that is worried about relocating to Florida. Not only the Villages have excellent water, but we have many retirement communities here near us in Florida that are great places to retire. Some are more affordable than others. But, they are all very close here to the Villages and anyone living there can still drive (even less than miles) and just a very few miles and still enjoy "The Villages."
Just thought I'd let y'all know so you would not worry about water. Any questions feel free to ask! Again I remind you, we have lived in Florida for over 55 years. We came from Pennsylvania after we were married.
God Bless!
Betty in Florida
Well, Congratulations and poopeidoo for your son the author. Come drink a drink of water on me... I'll give you a taste of the stuff out of my regular faucet.
We still have watering restrictions that say that "if you have a new lawn, you can water every day for 30 days"... that tells me that the NEW folks can use up what I've been conserving.
That tells me that the County Commissioners, no matter what platform they ran on can make deals with developers.
That tell me that I just might need to get more actively involved in Local Politics. (Altman.. look out!! The Devil's moved down from Georgia and gonna looking for a brand new ride)
I still think you have an interest in promoting "The Villages". Disclosure please??
Betty, I went through all the previous posts,,, how was it that you figured out that SwiftMud headquarted in Brooksville was my water supply???
Give me some credence to promote The Villages, and I will. Give me no evidence to promote it, and I'll tell everyone to avoid it.
You are still sounding like you own the place.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
I do believe you on your water supply where you live. We used to live in Orlando, and our water tasted terrible. It was full of sulfer. We came to Florida with 4 little children and I had 3 more here in Florida. We were very poor and had to get used to the water. Soon we got used to it. But it did make the plumbing fixtures yellow.
But, it was from a well my husband had dug. We did not have any city water then. Gee! that was over 50 years ago.
I know they ration water now for a lot of area's in Florida. Even here we can only water on certain days of the week. Like the even addresses on Tuesdays and Fridays
and the odd numbers on Mondays and Thursdays. But I'm speaking of the quality of our water here; it is very good.
Gina, I am ready to meet my maker and my husband is very ill,(84) and we are far, far from being rich. My husband is retired from the post office. We live on a pension and budget how we live. We do not play golf and we do not live in the best of homes here. In fact we are living in one of the smallest home in our community, a resale. My husband is on oxygen 24 hours a day and cannot get out much. He has a small portable oxygen tank that he uses to take his golf cart to go to the store when he is able. That is not often. But, we are happy here. It is a safe place to live. How I wish we did own the Villages. There is a family here that owns this place; I don't know their name. We are no relation at all. I have never met them and don't expect to :-)).
About your question "how was it that you figured out that SwiftMud headquarted in Brooksville was my water supply???"
My son was visiting the day I read your message; he
surmised you might be in that area.
"Some credence to promote The Villages" It is just that we are happy like it here. "Give me no evidence to promote it" I have no evidence to promote this community, except that we are happy here and all the people we have met here seem happy too. It is safe and we like the weather. As I said before, the water tastes very good. Some people here and other places in Florida buy bottled water. We don't and never have. But I guess that is all over the world?
I guess I do talk too much about "The Villages." There are several other nice communities near here. One is called "Spruce Creek", it is a beautiful retirement community. "Harbor Hills," and "Stonecrest." All are really nice. Then Dell Web has another good place to retire. We had a hard time making up our mind on a selection. Hope this helps settle your mind.
One of our sons lives in Ocala. He is trying to get us to sell our house here and move behind him in a house that is for sale. We are not sure if we want to make the move from here and perhaps have to depend more on him. My husband says "NO." He says we have to stay independent as long as we can. Gina, the only thing I would want to promote is for everyone to have a good relationship with the Lord to be happy.
God Bless!
Betty, I just want you to know that I love hearing about the Villages where you live. I am sorry that your husband is ill and hope you can stay independent for a long time to come. You seem like a very nice lady who has worked hard raising her family and appreciates what you have in life and I applaud you.
Betty, I must confess that I also felt that you were singing the praises of The Viliages just a little too much. I wondered why. Why don't you start a new post without referring to the Villages so much. A new post with a newer date would generate new interest. I live in Georgia, and while I will admit that many LOVE Florida, I could live forever without setting foot on the soil there. It is toooooooo hot. I remember staying in Sarasota one summer, the glare from the cloudless skies gave me one big giant headache everytime I went outside. I don't even want to go there in the winter.
The Villages sound as an ideal place to live....for you. Retirment communities is not everyone's cup of tea. It's a good thing that you and your husband have found such a nice place to make your home. It suits you and that is wonderful.
Please keep us posted as to your husbands condition. I think you might be wise to think more on your son's wish to have you nearer to him. I don't think you would give up your independence by moving. Are you getting a lot of help from your neighbors? When your husbands condition worsens, and it will, the move would be more difficult.
Take care of yourself. You may have a rough road ahead.
The only reason I have praised "The Villages" is because for years I wanted to move here. We had viisited it here about 7 years ago and I was so excited. I prayed that someday we could live here and God answered my prayers. I do wish my husband would of agreed to move here 7 years ago. Then we could of enjoyed all that it offers! I wanted to share this place, so I wrote about it. It is a great place to live, at least for us. We are used to the weather in Florida. It took six month's to a year for us to get used to Florida. But after our blood thinned we loved it and still do.
I will take your advise and start another Topic on living in Florida. I am getting a little worn out defending it. But there are so many people that want to know what it costs to live in Florida and wonder if they are able to afford to retire here. Just today some one wrote me and ask if I would mind sending them information on what it would cost to just rent for the winters. I looked up some ads from owners in the papers and sent them to her. If I can help older people to come to Florida I will be happy to.
Another person wrote last week for prices of the homes here. I sent some ads to them so they could see for themselves. I love people and if I can help anyone I am happy to do so!!!! I will stay away from this Topic here. I do not want to upset anyone.
Aileen thanks for your suggestion.
God Bless!
Betty in Florida
Betty, I don't know if you will still be reading this thread but I wanted to tell you that I enjoyed hearing about the Villages of Florida. I am about 18 month from retirement and thinking seriously about relocating. I want to relocate somewhere that I can afford and that has good weather. I don't like cold and snow and ice. Thanks for posting what you have about the Villages. It is some place that I will consider and try to find out more information about it. The only thing that would concern me, I guess, is if it gets terribly hot and humid in the summer. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I, for one, have enjoyed hearing about it. Judith
Hi Betty, just one more message about the villages...we just were there two weeks ago and loved it..however, we have about other places in mind, Spruce Creek, The Plantations, Oak Run...do you know how to compare these places..we are so afraid of making a mistake but we want to move there in an over 55 comm.... what are the pitfalls of these communities.you can email me directly if you like so that we
do not irritate the other people. Thanks
Betty I just read that your husband works out 3-4 times a day at the health club where you live. Then you said he is very ill and on oxygen. I have a good friend whose husband is on oxygen and wondered how your husband is able to work out that much and what kind of workouts he does. It might help her husband. Thanks!
Marcia, to explain. My husband's condition just started to get worse; in the past two months he has had to start doctoring regularly. Just about two weeks ago he was put on oxygen just when he needed it. Now a few days ago the doctor put him on oxygen 24 hours a day. He gets off every now and then for maybe 10 minutes and has to get right back to it. He has not been able to work out at the Health Club now for sometime. He has worked out for over 15 years and that has given him a longer life. He still exercises here at home with the oxygen in the mornings. He has to keep the oxygen on while exercising, the doctor told him. He lays on the floor and does some floor execises. Then we have a small work out table for lifting weights. He uses that, but uses only 5 lb weights. Then we have a tall workout stand where you can draw up your legs and do leg exercises.
We have had this tall stand for years. I use it.
But, it is sad, as he can not go to the exercise room anymore. Maybe he could push himself to go, but we feel the exercises at home are OK.
(I guess this would mix people up with him being so sick.)
Write me at email@example.com and I can answer any of you or your friends questions. What kind of lung condition does your friends husband have? My husband has Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis; no cure for it. He is now on a new medication that is suppose to stop the disease from growing. We pray for the best!
God Bless!
Betty in Florida
hi betty, i think its great you found a place to live that you love, go ahead and promote it! because i know what its like to hate where you live, detroit mich! and i can think of nothing good to say about this area. well i guess the pay is so good i will be able to retire 10 yrs early! live long,life is good!-bill
Hi Betty,
I also have enjoyed reading about your place of retirement.
My parents lived in lauderdale, and then buit a home in St Cloud, then moved to Kissimmee in a retirement Village and were in Fl a total of 15 years. My dad loved it there, but ran around the house without a shirt on. Bless his heart he passed on 8 yrs ago, Mom is 89 now and back up here. Dad always taked about the water problem down there (shortage).
I myself am not sure what we will do, when the time comes.
I hate the winters and cold here. We enjoy golf and I am semi retired but my Dh still works.
We have thought of tryng differnt places as vacations and then spend 2-3 months in the South and then come home. We are in Ohio.
I appreciate all you said, you sound like you have had a full and active life and deserve to stay where you like .
As far as Detriot! get out of there!!! LOl!!
Thanks for the advice, Lucy
Hi Betty I just found this site and loved hearing about your home in Florida. We winter in Texas but have always wanted to try other places so hearing about them is great. Wish more people would tell us about their retirement homes. Its fun to hear of new places
Hi Betty The Villages! And hi to all here.
I brought this post up as my husband and I just returned from spending Jan-Feb-March in The Villages. We love it there! Spent a week there last winter on The Villages program. This winter we rented a villa from a private party for the 3 months.
Send me an email Betty.
I went to ask.com a while back and put several things in the search. I remember putting "low taxes", "safe", and I don't remember what else but The Villages Florida came up in the TOP 10 and so did this web page with all yalls letters.
I read with interest and found Betty to be the one I liked to read posts the most from when THIS forum's letters link was clicked, but there were 2 of yall that I thought were extremely rude when all she was trying to do is share her love of where she lived. Even through yalls harshness, she remained courteous.
If you had taken a little time out to do a search on The Villages Florida, you would have found the web page that you can order a DVD or video and SEE what she is talking about. Next time, in lieu of "bashing" or "questioning motives or wondering if her family "owns the place" , do a little research.
Get your own FREE copy of a DVD or video of The Villages by clicking into their main web page.
and after you see the DVD, you'll wonder why MORE letters of "The Villages" praise wasn't made by her and others. They seem to have everything there, and ANYONE you talk to that moved there can't say enough good about it. Shame on all who were less than kind to Betty for simply trying to explain to yall that she found a wonderful place to live. Shame on yall for questioning why her husband could go to a gym but be on oxygen...like that is your business...and it had NOTHING to do with her enthusiasm about the Villages she was TRYING to share with you people, and no, I don't know Betty nor have I ever even so much as spoken to her.
I read every one of yalls posts and believe me, the one I'd like to meet in person would be Betty. Personalities DO shine through on line...both good AND bad. Betty seems like a wonderful person. Thanks Betty for your great posts and info on The Villages.
I live in Texas and am not even old enough to live at a retirement community yet, but I will certainly visit The Villages January 2007 and I hope to meet Betty.... and for the rude ones on here, no, I don't work at The Villages or have family that own it either. I'm just a person that's educated enough to do a simple Google search or ask.com search in lieu of trying to question the motive or intent of an obviously kind and sweet lady like Betty seems to be.
Does anyone know what happened to Betty? It's been very long since her last post. I remember reading somewhere that her husband died and she moved from The Villages and remarried but that was awhile ago. I wonder how she's doing. She sounds like a real nice, sincere lady.
Panamaretired - please start a new posting so that your information isn't lost at the bottom of this one. I think there must be a number of people who would enjoy hearing about your experiences. I am in the NW and thinking of Tucson. That is about as far away from my family as I can imagine. Was that a concern for you? Do you speak fluent Spanish? Are you happy with the medical and dental care you get there?
devorah thanks for your reply, i started a new posting to share my experiences living in Panama.
About to be away from my family, yes it was a concern. I one son but he is already married and living in Germany since 5 years ago. It is hard to move to a different country but sometimes when you want to continue you have to look for your own benefits.
Here in panama so far i have everything that i need. And the medical and dental care is good enough. I am going to the local John Hopkins hospital.
Lets keep this exchange in the new post i made!
What are the differences in the various Villages if any?
I am a very active divorced 65 yr old and would like to meet a single lady to date, dance and so forth.In other words which is the best Village for a single?
Looking to move to the Villages in November. I'm a Snowbird. Have been wintering in Clearwater and summering in the NW Chicago Burbs where I go with the biz I own for the last 15 yrs.
Any comments would be appreciated
