    Just a tip about “Grandma” scam calls and how to protect yourself. We had a secret code word we gave our grandchildren when they were younger. All I had to do was ask the “caller” What’s the code word? It worked!

      Jerry and Linda are retired public school teachers. IMO, the decades of experience they have teaching in the classroom really favors their vlog skills, their interest and dedication towards teaching us about life in The Villages and let’s NOT forget their fun personalities. To me, Jerry and Linda are the BEST ones covering The Villages on TH-cam.

    Something to consider about preferring a “gated” community is that when a subdivision is gated, guess who pays for road maintenance? It’s the residents’ responsibility to keep the roads maintained because now the roads have gone from public roads to private roads. Might want to consider that one!

    About 10 years ago, my Dad received the "Grandpa" scam call. He was convinced it was my youngest sister's stepson calling him. I tried to explain to him about the Grandpa/Grandma scam, but I don't know if he believed me. Fortunately my Dad hung up on the caller after a couple of minutes. Thank you for warning people about this scam which has been going on for years.

    I've been a Hairstylist for 39yrs & can't recall ever sending someone home with color stains on their skin. Careful application and color removal products are key. These stylists should also know that while shampooing to remove color, they can use the lather of color & shampoo to gently remove the stains. So sorry to hear of these bad experiences. We will be retiring to TV in 3 yrs & I'm not planning to stay in the Salon business but maybe, I should. 😉
    Thanks for a GREAT show, as always!!

    We were in the military for years and one of the hardest things was to find a good hairstylist in our new area. I usually would find someone whose hair style I liked and then asked them where they get their hair done. Only once did I have someone say, "I did it myself". Most people will be honest with a general cost amount so I could budget properly for the appointment.

Absolutely folks should do research but your answer is a nice beginning. I used to see an occasional snake 🐍 when I visited. Didn’t know any where venomous. Omg. My besties 90 yr old mother got a call like this. 😡She too almost fell for it but when she asked to speak with him they started fumbling. She called her daughter and her grandson was home. I got today’s scramble. Sweet always sweet. Salty 🤦‍♀️. I was admiring your tops/jerseys. Very nice. Always love the shoutouts. Great pics. Oh Gizmo. The croc 🐊 pot? 😂. Suit yourself 😂. Thanks guys.

    I am thrilled The Villages is NOT a gated community- we wouldn’t have the thriving community if it was. Our wonderful Town Squares, nightly music and dancing, shops and restaurants are open to the public- if we were a gated community- there wouldn’t be enough people to be profitable for businesses.

Sometimes, I think people don't realize the times we live in are not what it used to be. It's not just The Villages , it is everywhere because the criminals are being emboldened by the real evil that exists on Earth. Because this is Florida and this is The Villages, we live a lot better and safer life than so many other places. So, instead of complaining , I wish they could appreciate and enjoy what they are blessed with. Life could be so much worse. So,😁.

Years ago, the stylist put something on my forehead and it started to burn; it turned out to be something caustic and she had to wash it out and apply a cold compress. Thank goodness there were no real burns but I was so scared. I never went back there. (I'm now silver haired and happy I don't have to deal with that anymore).
