![[DRIP] ‘Woke Up In Tokyo (RUKA & ASA)’ PREVIEW](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/QN44lcR_VkI/mqdefault.jpg)
I'm 68. I grew up without air conditioning, black and white TV, transistor radios, wind up alarm clocks, typewriters and onion skin typing paper for the type writer.
I’m a 100% disabled Veteran and on Social Security I don’t work and I live in The Villages on a fix income there is no problem for me.
With all due respect there are many variables that you haven’t addressed. I.e. marital status, income, living in a house or condo or apt., etc. lots of folks there are on a fixed income but a lot of people have investment income or retirement income etc. So it may not be a problem for you but not everyone can afford a retirement community. Nice for those that can afford it if that’s what they want. Respectfully submitted
I’m a widower, I don’t have investment my wife passed away 12 years ago with breast cancer she fought for 2 years she was the bread earner in my family so she made 3 times what I made at 57 years old. The bills piled up so her life insurance was wiped out paying off $175,000 in debt. I received my 100% disability in 2021, I own my house in The Villages as of June this year, I don’t have retirement income Etc. Is there anything else you need to know I didn’t have a house to sale to help me and I don’t have thousands of dollars in my bank account or savings. So is there anything I left out or Is that sufficient for you.
I’m sorry to hear about your loss. I hope you are enjoying the villages

I trying but being shy and not good sociable I’m having VA to help me hopefully. It’s be a hard 12 years I take one day at a time. I golf alone don’t know anyone here it does get lonely at times. My wife’s request on her death bed was for me to live in The Villages, she thought the love I have for golf would help me. She tried for 40 years to teach me to love better. Thank you for your comment
I’m glad you can and thank you for your Service.
I lived in Lake Worth in the early '60s. No A/C in most houses back then, just fans, so yes, you can live there without A/C, but most people are too spoiled nowadays to tolerate it. My respect for our ancestors who settled here prior to the availability of electric power.
I live in California and my homeowner's insurance is about 15K a year. My water bill averages between 800-1K a month. We just purchased a home in DeLuna in September. We are looking forward to our move to The Villages. The prices you are mentioning are peanuts compared to what we are used to paying.
😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
I was going to mention how much we pay in Louisiana and then I read this comment. NVM. lol
Grew up in South Florida with no air conditioning
Growing up in California, we didn’t have air conditioning, we went to the movies to cool down
Same here! San Fernando Valley in the 50s\60s. My dad hated air conditioning, and we had no pool. We went to the beach, movies, skating rink, and park pools to cool off. We’d play in wading pools and the sprinklers, and when lucky a neighbor’s pool. We’d run around the neighborhood with our friends after dark (hide and seek) when it was cooler. Good times! 😍
So true, many of us transplants did not have a/c before moving to Florida.
We lived on Long Island, and in the Summer we moved down to our finished basement. Mom cooked meals and brought them downstairs, we had t.v. with the "rabbit ears"!
It was a very comfortable temperature. We had an aboveground pool that helped too.
We made the best of it, but the Island was extremely hot July/August, and Winters were frigid.
Omg, Linda.......72 a/c!
I keep mine at 80, but in all fairness, the system was replaced a year ago; it's more efficient than the original. I'm always cold! I was freezing in " POOBLUX" last week.
*I can't imagine not having ceiling fans to keep costs down so the thermostat can be a bit higher.
Yes not always much of a breeze here when you want one in the hot weather but during the rainy season there’s also an a nice thunderstruck storm to cool you off in the afternoon. Also the lightning looks kind of frightening. I’ve never seen so much lightning in my life in one area.
I paid more for my 50" Plasma TV 10 years ago than my 65" OLED TV this year. Prices are actually coming down!
I live in a 55+ community in Sebring and my home insurance actually dropped $60 per year even after filing a hail claim in April .
We also lost our AC in July on a Friday and the company couldn’t replace the unit until Monday . Our park put us in one of their park rental units over the weekend for free .
Wow! Sounds like they really took care of you.
People lived in Florida a long time before AC. The homes were built for natural airflow through there interior. I grew up in Iowa with no AC.
Are you crazy ? You can’t live in this day and age in FL w/o AC
So very kind for someone to think of Gizmo's well being and comfort like that
We live in NYC and when I was still working, a young woman was stunned to learn that years ago, the subway trains weren't air-conditioned. I told her, "The world wasn't air-conditioned." She got a laugh out of that. Regarding that movie, I watched it a couple of years ago and didn't feel it was representative of The Villages at all.
This is probably a different movie. Some kind of heaven was out and we reviewed it and we also interviewed the director.
Our neighbors here in Florida all said once their roof hits 10 years old they had to replace their roof or their insurance company will not renew their policy. Different insurance companies not just one.
Thank You for wearing your pink 👚. Great reminder for women to get a mammogram. October is breast cancer awareness month. Great to make those we love 💕 aware.
Great video! I had a burst blood vessel in my right eye a few months ago. Woke up one morning and the entire white of my eye was bloody. Like you it didn’t affect my vision or hurt just slowly went away. Loved hearing about Gizmo’s routine. Your smiles always brighten my day. Yours are The best videos I watch on TH-cam.
Thank you Debbie, that is so kind of you.
Good morning, I enjoy every video, and I need all of them . Because I get lonely and you guys lift me up. Sorry you are having problems Jerry, just keep walking and everything will be fine. We all love you and Linda. Linda’s laugh is good for our soul and also hers. God bless ,take care. By the way ,my husband passed away 12 years ago, but when the villiages was just under way, we made a visit there , we thought of moving there some day ,but we were very young at that time. Never dreamed it would someday be so big. The ones who live there now are very blessed.
The Happy Meal video was just hilarious! It's one I'll watch on repeat! I noticed that more and more people are subscribing and I think that's great! I really look forward to all of your videos... they are so positive and uplifting! Glad to hear that you're better Jerry! Keep the videos coming!!
Thank you, Karen. We try to stay positive....but The Happy Meal was a bit dissapointing!
I cracked up at that video too. Jerry’s reaction at the end to not getting the toy, then asking for the toy at the counter only to find out what it was. I was dying here. Funny stuff! 😂
Highly recommend David Monty’s cost of living spreadsheet for The Villages (recently updated).
Love your show, as I always do. To answer the question of air conditioning: Neither my family ,or my school had air conditioning when I was a child. P.S. I grew up in New Jersey.
A manhole on my very block in Duluth Minnesota sunk and collapsed a couple of years ago. The old clay water mains collapsed causing this. They were well over 100 years old, just like my house. It closed off the entire intersection for TWO YEARS. it’s was fixed last year. I watched them remove the road and dig down 6 to 8 feet etc. I enjoyed the process. Now we have a new street and what a treat. The point is, sinkholes can happen anywhere. My homeowners insurance is much higher than your insurance and my home is valued far lower than yours. I would be in heaven considering the costs in Florida overall are far less than Minnesota. I filled my heating oil tank and it was about 3/4 empty - $868.00. In a very cold month, I could empty that tank. It’s awful and I have to heat up to 10 months a year.
😲😲😲😲😲
If it works Move..ALOHA
After working all my life and my Folkestone did the same I now don't work and yall are right I do nothing all and every day don't have a wife anymore can do and go pretty much anything anywhere but I don't I really don't know how
Loved the show as usual. Wow! I'm impressed that The Villages is taking such good care of the folks displaced during the sinkhole repair!
No air growing up. I’m 48. My parents still don’t use their air very often
Thank you Jerry and Linda for another informative and entertaining video. I love the crock pot joke!
Hey Jerry and Linda! We are Billy and Fran Woodruff who moved here last May of 2021. Ya helped us so much with coming here. We live in Winifred and absolutely love it here and watch your show every week. We would love to meet ya sometime. Keep up the awesome work ya do. Thank you.
Sounds great!
I'm aiming for a lifestyle visit in Spring 2023. Gotta see TV with my own eyes...
See you when you get here!
Great show, that’s great the Villages is taking care of the families having to be displaced by the sink hole! Looking forward to Thursdays show! 👍🏻👍🏻
We have been informed that it is the county that is doing that. It is a nice thing, to help out those folks that are being displaced.
When we first moved to Orlando in 1957 we had no air conditioning very few people did, It was brutally Hot but we looked for shade and drank cold water all day, every evening we walked to a lake one block from our home and swam until we were all cooled off... We eventually had central a/c added to the house and what a beautiful difference .. we had no a/c in the schools or High school either fans only in department stores
How could you swim in the lake in Orlando when it was hot when any body of water could possibly have alligators?
@@enjoyslearningandtravel7957 we didn't go that far out in the water .. not only gators but venomous snakes swim in lakes in Florida snapping turtles too
I like your Shout outs in the beginning.....
Its what i have heard from numerous realtors, Reason was 30-40 % fraudulent claims have made many in insurance industry pull out altogether. This was Before 2 hurricanes hit. South Florida alot of Condo's have been deemed unsafe. Folks had just 5 days to move everything out of Condo
Try an air fryer for reheating fries, burrito's, etc. I LOVE mine.
Buy a generator. It's not a movie it's a documentary. I did see it. It was great.
We had 4-40 AC in the car (4 windows down and 40 mph), in the house the windows were open all night and table fans were going until around 8-9 am when we shut the windows and closed the blinds & curtains.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
In the ‘70’s, I worked as a nurse in a big city hospital. The regular ward floors had no a/c.
Boy how the patients and nurses sweat! We had BIG fans😅😅😅
You were talking about burritos and how you cook them. You need to get a 5.8 qt Cosori Air Fryer. I have had one for 3 years. It’s the best tool in my kitchen. Consider it a small oven but without using your huge oven. It takes a shorter time to cook but you could also do your burritos in it, less time, less oil and crispy like the oven. Pizza reheating in micro? I would never. Use your air fryer. 3 minutes on 350F. Tastes like you just ordered it. And no, I don’t get anything for the promo but trust me, it will cut your costs down on cooking and you’ll never go back to using your oven (unless you are doing a huge party and need tons of food). I did my research and the Cosori is easiest to clean and use. French fries taste great without soaking in oil. You can’t taste the difference. Tons of recipes for air fryer on You Tube.
We are moving to the Villages for the second time in mid March, we are moving from the county of Panama 🇵🇦 and would love to meet the two of you.
See you when you get here! 🙂🙂
Hey Natalie from another Arkie!!!🎉
Hi Linda! Love seeing Arkansas friends in the comments. ❤️ Hope you are well and have a fantastic week!
@@nataliesmithhart4511 I am! Maybe we will all make it to TV someday!
So.. AC story for you.. our AC went out about 13 months ago. Well the Beautiful Blonde set me straight on the life priorities. I was able to open my wallet, and get a tech out here within 3 hours. A Haley wife in AC = a happy life
When we had AC installed. I froze. Our home is set at 77° summer and winter. Of course, we are almost 80 years old. 🤗
Me too (70F)I have 4 ceiling fans and I'm 41% of the green bills..Always happy
Always wanted to be in Florida when I retired. I thought it was going to be in Bradenton on the coast. But my church Freedom Fellowship Church is here in The Villages. So after moving to Florida down south to Englewood I decided to move north and come here. I'm in the village of Deluna. I have a brand new home with a backyard ( called Veranda home) and I am very happy here. I've only been here a few weeks but I have no regrets so far. My home in Englewood got hit by the hurricane and I'm still cleaning it up to get it back on the market. Just glad to be in Florida. And I love the Crock-Pot joke! Glad to hear that my dogs aren't the only ones that bark at other dogs.
My Homeowner's insurance premium in Louisiana is $3,900. annually. I did not have a claim during Katrina and until last year I had never filed a claim. I have been in my home for 23 years. I had $24,000 worth of damage from Hurricane Ida and my insurance company paid me $10,000. I was lucky to get it because most folks got nothing. We replaced our roof and tried to fix the other damage as best we could.
Enjoy the show! Have a question about the movie on The Villages. What is that guard tower looking thing? Its kinda spooky looking. THANKS
That is a beautiful bridge over 441. The first one here!
I saw what looked to be an actual guard tower not a bridge.
I absolutely grew up with A/C, but I also lived in Vegas. It's really hot May-September, but at least it's a dry heat. 😉 I prefer that over the humidity we now have living in Virginia, and I think Florida is even worse.
I was at Fort Bragg and Nashville (Doc) in August after a shower Walk outside in Ten minutes u need another one.Vegas Strip 4 bottles of water an hr but no shower needed just COOOL..ALOHA
I always love Mailbag Monday but this one is my new favorite! 😉 Thanks so much for the shoutout! You have so many amazing fans and subscribers and I am honored to be recognized. ❤ Also love seeing a few other Arkansas folks in the comments! Hope you have a great week. Best! 🌴
I was in The Villages last February and March when the balloon festival was being held. Too windy to have the balloons go up! It figures :)
Hey y'all..those adult happy meal toys are now a collectors item. I think the same people collected Beanie Babies..Lol
We have a sinkhole here in a parking lot in Newmarket, Ontario and has been unfixed for a month.
Enjoyed your show once again. Glad someone thought of Gizmo to help him get up and down. Our mini Dachshund refused to use those stairs no matter what lol. However if I may say, I do like the old format better with shootouts then questions, but like the show and Gizmo regardless. Hope to see you all one day. Until then, keep on carrying on.
Everyone needs to 'get-a-grip' on the 'blurry' picture!! My father-in-law has gone blind in the last 4 months and the rest of us are lucky to even SEE TV Newcomers at all. They do a magnificent job of bringing us information, entertainment, (infotainment) and joy and laughter every week!! This is where Cloning would be an awesome idea!🙋🙋♂🙋🙋♂🙋🙋♂🙋🙋♂Gizmo too🐕🐕🐕❣
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Prices for the manufactured houses in the Historic side villages such as Silver Lake and Orange Blossom Gardens shot up to near or above $200K in the last 2 years. Such an increase is due both to the overall increases in FL and The Villages and rentals for short term visitors of by the week or by the single month in winter.
We lost our home, furniture and clothes etc. to hurricane Ian.
😪😪😪😪😪
Tough situation with homeowners in FL. Providers leaving, fraudulant claims, the state citizens fund overburdened.
Thanks for the show! I pay the same for home insurance for a 1400 sq ft house east of Sacramento, California.
Gizmo will learn how to use the stairs, they will be a back saver for him! ❤️
I have been watching your videos for over two years. I moved down to The Villages March 2022. I decided to rent for a few years. I enjoy all your videos and hope to meet one day. ☺️
Here in MO we have both property tax and personal property tax (cars, boats, rv etc) and combining them puts us at aroun's $1,300 so TV will be an increase for us - but we think the trade off will be worth it. Pleasant weather and the ammenities - currently we have to drive over 30 minutes just to get groceries. And it doesn't matter what time of year if we get something to take home to eat it's cold. Entertainment? We've got the woods and our computer. I am so ready to live where there are people my age and mind set (manners and not everything has to be my way - we can handle TV way. :) Love your videos and will be there before long.
See you when you get here!!😁
I have no intention of moving to FL but I still watch the two of you and Gizmo- i just love your show!
Why not? I'm wondering if I should make the move. What are your reasons, if I may ask, for not going? Heat, humidity, congestion? Thanks
Jerry & Linda insurance is threw the roof also here in Minnesota my townhome insurance thru HOA went from $667 yearly now at $1,079.Had to pay this by 9/20/22.Now you know it’s higher everywhere then!
My central air conditioner is broken needs replacement and I survive keeping blinds and most windows shut with a fan in the bedroom during summer in Minnesota.
When you figure in zero state income tax, I would think it would offset higher insurance rates. I travel a lot, couldn't do much while raising kids but now I can and do. You are right, enjoy life while you can! Great video.
A/C uses 10x as much electricity as a fan. I purchased a tower fan for $79. It operates via remote control, oscillates about a full half turn and has three speeds. Typically in the summer, my electric bill would be $85 in my 670 sq. ft. I-bdrm. apt. My highest bill this summer was $68 in August. I set my A/C at 80 so that it kicks on at 79 deg. The tower fan cools to 73 when the A/C is running. Most of my bills have been $58 or less. This $15-20 per mo. savings helps a lot with the inflation we’ve experienced now that people are spending again after the worst of the pandemic. I used to keep my A/C at 74 before I got the tower fan. I also changed my cell to a low usage plan. My phone uses WiFi when I’m home, which is most of the time so I got a low data plan that’s $20/mo. The 1gig of data is far more than I use and it saves me $35 monthly. I’ve done other things too that have provided small savings without sacrificing much at all. I did go on 5 cruises over the past year and there was a lot of good deals there to as the cruise industry is getting back to regular schedules. $3000 for homeowners’ insurance is not bad. I know people paying $6000/yr.
Florida's population increased dramatically since air-conditioning became common. From 1960 to 2022 the population went from 5M to 22M. Having low taxes and a state govt. that promotes freedom and prosperity is the reason so many people move here.
WWG1WGA!
Just think what it would be if we didn't kick illegals out
Great place to retire. Awful place to raise a family and educate our children.
My husband and I have become fans of burritos too! Thanks to your video on preparedness. Yum.
I grew up without ac, didn’t have ac until my second apartment when I was in my early 20’s. My parents were in their 70’s before they had central air. We live in central Illinois where summers are hot!
Great show and Gizmo make me laugh out loud! Crockpot!!! And I checked our home owners insurance compared to what we pay here in Michigan. Ours was higher! And our home is smaller than yours. And we pay state income tax! One big problem, my husband does not want to move to Florida or to any other place. I have visited my friend who lives in The Villages and love it. A week from today my husband and I will be staying for 2 weeks in a lovely home in Hawkins. Maybe he will have a change of heart, at least for the winter months. Keep the videos coming! Last Thursday was a hoot! It was not one of your bests but the pain in your faces made me laugh! Thanks!
See you when you get here!
Posting again first post I don't see. In Waikiki 2bd condo $60 a month no AC needed if E to W windows or $$$$$. My ins ORD same as urs maybe look up Sinkhole and Flood ins for viewers ..I met a couple in Cayman theirs was $5k in Ft Meyers and I wonder if they still have a Home ?..ALOHA😁😁😁😁
There was a huge sinkhole in Ky at the corvette museum several years ago
We remember that! It was huge.
Jerry, did you say "FARTin' around" @ 11:34 ? LOL!
...maybe.......😉😉😉
@@JERRYANDLINDA Fine !!!
Down south we have weather you can wear
Should try an air fryer. We’ve been using one for about a month. Much better than microwave for most reheat. Pizza, hot dogs, kielbasa, grilled cheese sandwiches, burritos .
i live in Oklahoma City. I have a 2400 sf house. My homeowners insurance is $3000 a year😩
Thanks!
Joy!!! Thank you SO much!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Give it up for Natalie & Todd …… Wooooo Pig Souie!!!!! Great MBM …. Hope your eye heals quickly - thanks for great vlog.
Hi Catherine! Thanks for the shout out! Loving seeing Arkansas fans in the comments. Have a fantastic week!
Loved your Mailbag Monday as usual, and Gizmo was so so cute...Croc Pot LOL!
We live in California's Central Valley where it often gets well over a 100 degrees in the summer but the humidity is low and it cools off at night. We only use our air conditioner on the hottest summer days. Florida heat is probably more oppressive because of the humidity? California may have lower humidity but has lots of other problems!
Bet u have ceiling fans too I have 4..ALOHA
@@jimshoe402 Yep, we have ceiling fans too
The repairs around the manhole issue are being paid for by the County not The Villages. The County is paying to pay for the hotel stay for the residents not The Villages. The Villages is doing the work and will be reimbursed by the county, The Villages is able to mobilize much quicker than the county government so the county is letting them do the work.
Thank you Don. We think that it is great that the inconvenienced homeowners are at least getting help with the time that they are out of their homes.
T.V.F.N.(Jerry and Linda) and Gold Wingnut (Don Wiley) are The Villages treasures.. : ) Subbed, and always a thumbs up!
❤❤❤❤❤
That Don …..We all appreciate his knowledge, and I don’t even live in Fla!
Thank you for your TH-cam channel 😉
great show. I'm sorry to hear about your eye. When you mentioned you lifted something heavy, that really hit home with me. I'm in my seventies and I feel like a youngster, but my bones aren't what they used to be. A dear, dear friend of ours died after trying to lift his wife when she fell. Be as careful as you can with weights. Blessings...
i grew up in sandiego. born in 1951. we never had air conditioned house or cars. that has changed now. my parents put air conditioner in when the temps started getting warmer
We live in Minnesota and love the Spring , Summer and Fall. We also have a small place in a park in Mesa Az. Lovely place in the winter with all the snowbirds. We also have a 5th wheel to travel all around to see National Parks and enjoy the lakes of Minnesota. Life is what you make it. You are right we are 64 and know so many people are age with health problems. bYW get an air fryer to heat up pizza, French fries and burritos etc. also makes the best homemade french fries
Always a great afternoon when I can watch Mailbox Monday! Awesome show today and please keep up the great work!
Great video. All those burritos...sounds like separate rooms for both of you those nights. 💥💥💥. Hope yourb eye is feeling better, need to stay away from the inversion machine a while. Have a great week.
Hi Jerry, Linda and Gizmo, I enjoyed your episode today, as always! It is always one of my „happy places“ when I sit to watch - thanks!! Sunny greetings from Switzerland!
Always enjoy watching your videos. I will be there on Saturday for a high school girlfriend weekend. Lucky to have a friend who has a home in The Villages. "Maybe" I'll see you when I get there ;)
I think you said about $33,000.00 a year is about average. I think you said Jerry you have No Bond or House Payment. The increase for house insurance is because of what Hurricane Ian did the to West Coast of Fla.
Croc Pot that was great. Would like to know where you got your tool for cleaning around the donuts at the sprinkler heads.
You can get them at several places. We opted for the heavy duty cutter at Ace Hardware. Since then however, a great viewer made a custom cutter for me and I use it. It's bigger and stronger, and does a great job.
It’s so endearing to hear all the people who love you guys, and I actually know you!
❤❤❤❤❤
Great video guys. One thing people usually don't count when they are doing the expenses of the villages is the entertainment/amenities. We have a small pool that costs quite a bit in maintenance. Then when you add in how much we spend on other forms of entertainment it really starts to add up. That combined with an easy active lifestyle and social interaction. I think the Villages is well worth the cost. I know in our small town there are many older folks who just don't have many ways to be active or social. And that is very important to living a long healthy and happy life. Oh, and we are from Arkansas and plan on moving to the Villages as soon as our daughter goes off to college. Wooo Pig Sooie!
That poor technician sweating like that. I just could never live anywhere where the heat and humidity is that bad that you can’t go outside. I love the villages. I wish they would build one in California.
I don’t have statistics for other states, but I looked this up for Florida a couple of weeks ago. The average temperature in Florida has risen 3.4 degrees since 1970. I’m sure it has gone up in other states, too. I don’t know how much it has risen since the fifties since I was a child living in Florida without air conditioning.
As teachers, we remember before the schools had air conditioning when it was too hot, schools let out early. They were called "Heat Days".
@@JERRYANDLINDA Wow! We never had that. I taught school for one and 1/4 years without air conditioning. For the next school year, my school had to lose four positions because of low enrollment. I was asked if I had a preference of where I wanted to be transferred to. I told them, “Just give me a school with air conditioning.”
The Kentucky question simply answer some have the money and some don't.
True.
If the roof insurance rule is correct, why buy the expensive 25-30 year shingles. Buy the cheapest crap they have if you have to replace it every 10-12 years on your own dime.
Looking forward to the cooler weather this week. Autumn is knocking on the door in Florida. Thanks for another great video! Happy Monday...😁
Home owners insurance already pricey but will probably skyrocket because of Ian. The roof situation is understandable. The heat alone will cut the life of the shingles. 30yr shingle does not equal 30 yrs in Florida.
I think Linda had some legitimate concerns about your eye. Most common is the burst blood vessel. Everything was a possibility and thank goodness it has resolved itself. Very pleased about that. I had pink eye one time right after Christmas 2011. I had traveled to Indiana for the hole and was around several children who had your typical winter cold. I’m sure that’s how it started. Both of my eyes were totally bright red. I looked like a vampire. I had 4 meds and off work for the entire week. I pretty much slept the entire time. It was miserable. However, I had an absolutely wonderful Christmas and the children were a joy. I felt like St. Francis. If you take the moisture out of the air, you can tolerate a higher temp. I think I’d run my air in the mid to upper 70s. I keep it at 70 now because I have an older home and I keep the doors to the living and dining rooms closed. This is where the thermostat is so the temp needs to be lower in order to cool the upstairs. Works. I’ve had the same air conditioner for about 20 years.
Thanks.....Jerry & Linda....Another winner....Keep banging them out !!!
OM..Gosh.....Crock pot....Hilarious...lol
I have the same problem of burst vessel in my eyes. Now that I'm retired and do less strenuous work it happens way less often. I always knew when it was coming because it felt like I had something in my eye that I couldn't get rid of (the swelling vessel building before the burst). Soon after it would appear and stay for about 3-5 days. I also have what are called floaters in my right eye. Doc says it's no big deal and can be removed if it bothers you. It's just floating goo that moves around in and out of your field of view. If I have a white Styrofoam cup I look into it at close range and see a brown spot that moves around in the cup as I move my eye. So many strange things that happen to our eyes.
Yes! Less stress is good for everything.
Our dog had a hard time getting used to stairs, and to be honest, they were in the way. Nice that a viewer gifted them to Gizmo.😊 Looking forward to Thursday's show!
We are currently in TV right now on our lifestyle visit. Two hours after we got here hubby was at Urgent Care and then had emergency surgery. We are now enjoying our stay and hoping we run into you two! How do we buy a Jerry and Linda shirt???
So sorry! What a bummer. We hope you are able to feel better and enjoy your visit. Here is a link to theshirts:

@@JERRYANDLINDA I can say your urgent care across from Brownwood is awesome and the hospital was great too even though the reviews were terrible. We will be driving around via golf Cart today and checking out other village areas. Thanks for the link to the T Shirts!
great show guys, as always...one comment about insurance. ALL insurance companies take into affect their losses ACROSS the country and spreads the 'wealth'. In other words, last year Floridians were paying higher preiums for the fires in California and tornados in the midwest.
I think some people are worried about increases in the amenities fees or HOAs as well as the changes in the tax value of their homes overtime. Maybe than can just affrord it now, but worry the margin is so low that they would not in the future. And then there is insurance lol.
The FEEs kill u How about 10 years from now ++++++++???
