That cactus looks like a giant Christmas cactus 🌵 Beautiful!
I'm dying 🤣 in the first 2 minutes of this show between the bleeping of whatever Linda said immediately followed by Gizmo's chiming in. Its pure comedy 🤣 You 'guys' are the best thing on TH-cam. I'm 54 & can't wait to visit The Villages! #thesecondhalf
Agree, they make The Villages reviews informative and entertaining. Still undecided but eventually we will take that visitor package and see if we can get serious about it. So far from beaches (30 mins) and airport (6 mins) for us now. Hanging around folks our own age is compelling. We live in unrestricted but the younger set is not as friendly/engaging as we older folks. I suppose not spending our waking hours staring at an iPhone and seeing what is real and live around us
You can use a drawing salve which you can purchase at the pharmacy to draw out the stinger or you can make your own salve with olive oil, sugar and some shavings of Dial soap. Put on stinger and cover - within a few hours it will draw out the stinger.
Jerry- we had a recirculating pump installed right on top of our water heater - very small in size and has a 3 way timer. It provides instant hot water to our entire house. Mike Scott Plumbing did it for under $500 in December. Best purchase we ever made here for the house!!
You cannot make everybody happy ( you guys ). Many of us just love you and enjoy what you do. Keep up the good work. Love you too Gizmo.
We are renting there for the month of May (👏🏻👏🏻) and as folks who have had renters in our properties, we treat places we rent as if they were our own. We try to leave on trash pickup day, leave a small bag with a neighbor, or take it with us. It’s not hard to be thoughtful. Our future landlord sent us very detailed procedures and rules for the property we will be staying in. Too bad folks can’t follow the rules. We are looking forward to our visit!
Seems as though the cleaning service should take care of this.
@@ninadukette3340 exactly. If I'm paying $165 cleaning fee and $1000 rent for the week, I would expect the cleaning people would deal with the trash.
Carmel Indiana has the first place in number of roundabouts. My hubby and I moved to Carmel Indiana for six months while our house in Westfield IN was in construction. My hubby used to hate the roundabouts but after some time He became an expert driving around. Now He loves them.
My daughter in law just turned 40 a couple of months ago, Linda, and gave birth to her and my oldest son's first baby last month! She and my (42 year old) son must think 40 is the new 30, so I guess 70 must be the new "middle age" for us (I wish!) Love the Linda, Jerry and Gizmo shows and watch each week! ❤❤
Hi Jerry & Linda! Regarding the renters, I understand the problem is that management companies that handle these transactions allow young people (20 and 30 somethings) to rent. If I bought a house in The Villages, a 55+ community, I would expect that at least one person would be in that age group. That's where the problems seem to be occurring with rentals. Thanks again for a great show.
I understand your comment. But the villages are as popular as it is. It's not 55+ Watch some of the other videos. There are too many rules and regulations for me though. I can Agree with the standards though. This is a commitment to living there.
Oh, I hit send to quick, Happy Birthday to your son 40! So glad to hear all of you could be together and the grandkids
Thank you for being real ( like many of your viewers). Shopping at Walmart is what many do because they watch the bottom line - no apology required. Also using a colloquialism is nothing to require an apology. The people that have to shame you for being real need to get some real problems. I so appreciate you both.
Thanks, Jeannie! 😁😁
Great show GUYS! We all need to quit worrying who we’re offending with basic English language. Just be you - that’s what makes your REAL fans keep coming back for more! Hope your bum heals ok, Linda 😂. 🌴⛳️☀️
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
OMG! People get their panties in a wad for no reason whatsoever except to be "offended". Give it a break. NO ONE forces you to watch a video you are not interested in...move along and let the rest of us enjoy life! LOVE you guys, and we live here!!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤
Enjoyed the show on Thursday just as much as on Monday! Thanks for all you put into them - always a fun, relaxing 40 or so minutes!!
I love your longer shows, keep doing them. I’m sad when the show ends!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Guys is just a slang word for everybody tell whoever it is to get over it and if they don't like your long shows they know how to hit the off button and go bug somebody else, 👻
Another really good show! That is one big cactus grown up from such a small plant. That picture of Spanish Springs really caught my eye. Thanks for starting out my week in such a positive way.
Excellent MBM as always Jerry,Linda and Gizmo👍
I liked the Walmart grocery shopping and also the golf cart rides. Keep it up.
Make sure you get polarized sun glasses. Cataracts are caused by exposure to uv light, polarized lenses help keep your eyes healthy.
Love your show!! From Fishers, IN.-now living in Lakewood Ranch! The last count of roundabouts in Carmel is 142!! Most in the nation.
Love the long videos, bloopers, and “you guys”…..and that’s a “fact jack”! Keep up the great work!
This is great! I just came from visiting my Aunt Pat at the Villages and it's a great place. I just turned 50 and looking to live there in the near future. Thank you for putting this together. Have a blessed day!
I, for one, love your long videos and especially the cart rides!
❤❤❤❤❤
Love the cart rides and love the time of the shows, Will watch the shows while on my treadmill, cant get a workout on a 10 minute video.
Very fun video! Take care of that cheek Linda!😁
Thank you for a great show as always! I enjoy all your shows, and your Thursday shows give my week a real pick-up, especially when it's a golf cart ride. I can't wait to get there, and when I do, I hope we will see you.
Thanks, Mindy... you're so nice!
That cactus is amazing!!
Love all of your videos! If people don’t like it they don’t have to watch.
Love the mail bag Mondays. My favorite part of the day❤
❤❤❤
Great video today! Thank you so much for all your hard work. Love your content Jerry and Linda.
❤❤❤❤❤
Jerry, Linda and Gizzy, another great MBM. DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING... Keep up the good work...
Thank you Dale! We still want to get you on a show one day.😁
Enjoy your videos so much. Thank you for sharing the fun with us all! P.S. I’m in Bend, Oregon, and we have a ton of roundabouts too!
Thanks, Emily! Yesterday we had equipment failure and had to order a new sound system! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Love it and "That's a Fact Jack!" Still loving the shows and look forward to being Villagers sometime soon.
Regarding the scratches on your sunglasses...take a small amount of toothpaste, NOT the gel, and gently rub with your fingers all over the lens. Rinse in water, and gently dry with a soft cloth. That always gets the scratches out of my sunglasses. You may have to repeat. Give it a try! They will sparkle and shine!
❤❤❤❤❤
Always luv the bloopers - and Jerry’s face 😂 those of us you tubers can relate we all have them! Great fun show and always informative! Such a beautiful place to live!
Thank you!! 😁😁
I quit drinking before I had kids... I have worked in the clubs and liquor establishments and concerts for years doesn't bother me. I drink coke and I can still have fun and dance just like a drinker can..
I love your shows no matter how long they are. The content has something for everyone!!
❤❤❤
I love all of your videos and appreciate all of the work you put into them. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Paige we thank you for your kindness. We really appreciate you going the extra mile.
Thanks for a great video! You guts have kept me together thru my layoff couple years ago.. thru bypass surgery and thru the disability application process. Thanks so much!
Elaine we are so glad that you are on the mend and always like to hear from you.
Love all of your videos especially learning about your family life & aspects of living I most likely will not experience 🤩😎😍!
I’m a New Yorker so it’s enjoyable seeing warm weather & clean quiet environments.
🤣🥰Gizmo! Many thanks for sharing 😘.
Come for a visit! We like New Yorkers... and always appreciate your positive comments!
Love watching you guys. My wife and I and another couple will be down on the 26th - 30th for a life time visit. 52 yrs old and looking forward to it.
I just love Mailbag Mondays, the longer the better! I hope you show the vlog with the other TH-camrs on Thursday. If not then, please post it next week.❤️👍
Thanks! We love all your videos, always look forward to Monday's & Thursday's.
❤❤❤❤
Evelina, yesterday we had big time equipment failure and we had to order a new sound system. Your generosity helps so much! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
I enjoy all your shows, long or short!
Yes, just keep doing it the way you've been doing it.
Your shopping at Walmart video from last week was fantastic. Among the top five for sure. Loved it.
Thank you! We had a good time. 😁😁😁
I love 41 minute shows! Or any length. We just got home from a lifestyle visit. We got hooked on golf cart rides. What a way to visit a place! We kept looking for you three but no sightings. We had such a great first visit. We know what style of home we like so fingers crossed.
Hope you can find the perfect home for you.
Hope you are healing Linda in whatever got you, take care
Hi , my mom judy and myself( Deanna ).and my dog jack.are coming in October for a visit im so excited i have been watching u guys for ever and im finally going to see the villages,thanks to yall. But linda when i saw your cactus i thought im moving there !! I dont need to visit just show me that cactus and im sold ....lol
Buy a small tube of baby teething gel that you rub on their gums. Rub some on the area of Linda's "bottom" before you start picking at it to get the stinger out. It will really make it less painful. Just a helpful hint.
Keep up the way u do this program. Love everything!
❤❤❤
Thank you for another great show!!!
Hi Folks - We've been staying at The Villages as short term renters for years. We usually stay 1-3 months, from U.K. We did notice laterally that Villagers seem less happy to share some facilities - not as welcoming as prior years
I hope you realise that some renters really do appreciate that we are visitors and just enjoying spending time with our American friends
We do! Welcome, and... see you when you get here!😁😁
@@JERRYANDLINDA 🤩👍💕
Welcome to the Villages. We have no problem with renters. Sorry that you feel unwelcome at times. I hope you will enjoy many more visits here 😊
@@carolapostolos8929
Hi Again
Apologies to you as I think that i may have worded my comment quite poorly
We have always felt welcome by our Villagers' neighbours and have made some lovely friends
I was really referring to group activities, that there is maybe a little reluctance to incl short stay visitors- Quite understandable too.
I nust wanted to say that as visitors, we are very proud to stay in such a lovely environment and thank you all for sharing
❤😁👍x
I ALWAYS enjoy your blog!! Just an FYI regarding that beautiful 🌵. Those "bumps" just below the blooms will be edible fruit. When they turn red, they are ripe. They make a great jam... or jelly if you find them too "seedy". The flavor is something like figs. Use kitchen tongs to harvest them and "singe" any remaining spines. Hope you have a chance to enjoy some. ❤️
Thanks, Kathy!
You two are just naturals, all your years of Teaching have given you such great skills to be so successful at your You Tube channel! Love it!
❤❤❤❤❤
Love to watch your show. You are never going to please everyone. Just keep doing what you are doing.
Don’t change a thing. My husband and I really enjoy your shows. Even if it’s an hour, we would still watch. Keep up the great work. ❤
I'm with you. I'd watch as long as they were on, even if I would have to watch in segments! I love these people for being willing to share their life with us. I enjoy it so much!! Though my income level will probably not allow moving to TV 😢, the adventures, the helpful info, humor, well...next best thing. Thank you Jerry and Linda! ❤️👏
We all want the 60 minute show just like a TV show...this is all quality content and we are lucky to have such great hosts here! We wuv em!!!?
Thank you SG!
The longer the better! Your videos are great.
There is a pause or stop button that we can all push if it's not to our liking. Speaking for myself, I enjoy every show and learn something too. Thank you both for your time and energy to put this on 2 times a week for us! It is a treat and I look forward to it and seeing you both whether its picking up groceries or a cart ride. As a matter of fact, the cart ride trip to Walmart was hilarious. I am short and saw that show through Jerry's eyes and height, Loved it and both of you. Thank you again.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Raining in the front yard and not a drop in the back yard....My Mom used to call those "Planet Showers"
We LOVE the long shows. We ONLY get to see you twice each week. We need our Jerry & Linda fix :)
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Keep doin it the way you’re doin it!! I love it
Fabulous show as usual.
Hey Jerry , Linda and Gizmo. About to drive. So will listen. You get a break from my long winded comments. 😂Thanks in advance for I’m sure a great video. Have a great week and see you next video.
We love your long winded comments, and I don't even look to see who signed them. We know it's you. ❤❤❤
Great show! Love Gizmo too!
The trip to Walmart was one of my favorite videos. You should have just fibbed and said the guy was Jose. LOL!! People are so funny. Anyhoo...just love watching your videos and your sense of humor is wonderful!!
❤❤❤❤❤
I was waiting to enter a roundabout when a golf cart entered going the WRONG way!! My heart stopped cold. Fortunately no one was coming and it managed to get out of the roundabout before it got hit head on. I think people should have to take a class in cart and round about procedures.
Now that snowbirds are starting to come back the roundabouts gonna get really interesting.
Ya know what guys ??? If they don't like your 41 minute shows there is a perfect remedy!!! Just click the exit key . I really enjoy your channel and never get tired of watching . I purchased a home much further south but feel that I benefit a great deal from the information about Florida that you GUYS (LOL) provide . Keep it up . We the 99.3% look forward to every segment . Happy 40th to your son too !!
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Great show . I don’t mind long videos because it’s more to love. Forget all those negative people. Some aren’t happy unless they are complaining. Hey Gizmo - I’ll be sending some jokes soon. 😂
Thank you, we will look forward to them.
Don’t change anything!! Everything you do is so great!
❤❤❤❤❤
We rent through VRBO and we are reminded by the owners of the lay of the land (not that we need to be). We also play a cleaning fee so when we check out the home gets cleaned for the next person so any trash we hadn’t tackled would be taken care of by them. On the roundabouts we saw the aftermath of a bad accident on Buena Vista which looked like a golf cart had roamed out of the gate. ☹️
Great as always, buying a home next to one with a Lightning Rod, Genius👍Have a great week.
😁😁😁😁😁
Hey Jerry and Linda make your Thursday show a golf car ride to different places around the villages thinking that would be a great idea I love watching the golf car rides
Thank you, Richard!
OMG guys!! Why do people even follow you if they don’t want to enjoy your videos? I get so into them that I forget how long it actually is that the video has been running for. Let them take a chill pill!! Sheesh!!❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Last time I was in Carmel, I noticed all the roundabouts!! Somebody in power there went crazy!!
I know this isn’t much but just trying to pay for a little of my weekly entertainment from my favorite TH-camrs. I’ll be down in The Villages in November again. And I like your videos whether they’re 15 minutes or 45, Mailbag Mondays, cart rides, store visits, Dr appts. Probably the only one I skipped through was your dryer vent cleaning lol. Thanks!
P J, Thank you so much, we appreciate it. 🧡🧡
Love this - you are buying them a ‘cup of coffee’....(not at Starbucks, at 7/11, LOL)☕
Ok i had to add one more thing when your glorious morning is 70 ° think of us up north because that means our morning is 50 , actually tonight its 45 bur , cant wait to get there
I believe that Carmel, IN is the roundabout capitol. About 10 yrs ago, when I was teaching my daughter to drive, I made her drive to hockey practice in Carmel. I had forgot that we would be going thru a roundabout. It was a double lane one and of course another car came up next to us. She screamed thru the whole roundabout. We made it thru with no incident, thankfully. She was so mad at me that I had made her drive, but I think it helped her become a better driver :) As a matter of fact, she went on to get her CDL to drive the big rigs!
Love all your shows, short or long
The first round a bout that this country boy ever encountered was in Carmel Indiana. I didn't know what to do. I figured it out though. Now they are everywhere.
Well we’re here … haven’t seen you yet!
Fun tip on splinters etc. Elmers glue ..let it dry ..easy peasy comes right out
Great tip!
Linda! Please make sure that isn’t a tick!
Jerry, Linda and Gizmo.....loved the show. Thank you! Linda, do you know the name of your Cactus? It's AMAZING! I must get one for my front yard. Thank you. 🌵🌵🌵
Good morning, great show. We've had snow in the front yard and nothing in the back here in Colorado. Please give Gizmo a pet for me! Have a great week! By the way, I saw some sort of weird creature when we visited in July, I think it was a Muskrat or something.
No way, Jose! I can’t believe someone complained about that very common phrase. Good grief! 🤦🏼♀️ Keep doing what you’re doing guys! 😉 As hopefully near future buyers, we are a bit concerned about the short term rental properties too. Hope they can come up with some solutions that benefit the full time residents. Poor Gizmo was not a happy camper today, but his jokes were hilarious! Tell him great job! 😄 Looking forward to Thursday’s show. 🤗
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks!
Love your show, even when I have to wait a few days to see it!! I totally agree with you -- Lake Sumter Landing is the top spot in The Villages. I also love taking visitors down Buena Vista because the drive through the live oaks is gorgeous. Thanks so much for the suggestions of nearby places of interest, too. We've enjoyed driving through Mt. Dora. Sounds like we ought to stop and see the sites!
Oh yes, and PLEASE just be you; people are too easily offended these days. Love you GUYS!!
Thank you so much! We appreciate your kindness.
My daughter took a video of it raining on one side of the barn and not the other. We are in Southwest Florida. Cool really. 😎 Love your videos, short or long
Thank you Karen!
You're both so fun to watch. Get you some Dollar Tree store sun glasses. They are cute and buy 3 or 4 pair for a lot less than one expensive pair. That way if you leave them or break them, they're easy to replace. I have a bowl full of them by my front door. That way if anyone forgets theirs, they can take a pair. My neighbor has pitchers by the kitchen sink and puts the water in them to sprinkle the flowers etc. while waiting for the water to turn hot. You don't waste the water that way :)
Love your videos!
Keep the good work up 👍
I don’t care how long your videos are, I watch and love every one! Keep up the good work😀
To cute! Love you guys!
Linda your cactus is absolutely gorgeous! I did not realize we could grow a cactus here in the villages. I would love to have one in my yard.
We will give you a start!
Your cactus is a Nopal cactus right?
The critter looks like a possum or a muskrat just my guess! Great show you all get better with each show! God bless you all and that includes little Gizmo. Duane!
Thanks, Duane!
I have watched every TH-cam show you’ve put out there right from the beginning. Your first ones were very short. Hey, if your video was 41 minutes long or 1 hour & 41 min long, I’d happily watch it. I love your channel. I feel like I’m visiting with you every Monday. I’ll never get to move to The Villages but you sure make it appealing. I don’t comment very much but when someone upsets me I need to say something. Give Gizmo an ear rub for me. He’s so sweet.
Thanks, Kathy!! We really appreciate your kindness!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Don’t stop doing what your doing as you know in life there will always be nay sayers. Keep smiling .
Great show today! Linda’s cactus is amazing, she has a green thumb. I can see where the very shirt term rentals might be an issue, the landlords need to give written instructions on do’s & don’t’s. ❤️
We love both of you and gizmo because you are living and shopping and doing activities that they say real people do on a daily or weekly basis..you have to watch budget and bottom lines to enjoy somethings before and after retirement...and gizmo is treated in a princely manner...love the show don't change anything...blessings
❤❤❤❤❤❤
