We started a new tradition, Christmas is for kids....no adult gifting. We all love it because it removes so much stress about what to get when no one needs anything.
Caring hands- is a Villages residents program to help residents for FREE- rides to grocery, doctors, meals, etc
Good show. I sure do miss Gizmo too. What a sweetheart. Please show us some of the houses lit up at night for Christmas. Hope you see some of your grandchildren over the holidays. Much love to you both ❤️🎄
Will do!!
Wow, when I had my colonoscopy, count back from 100, got to 98 and was out! It just felt like I had a great nap!!
We give our kids cash. I started putting it in a "trinket" box every year. They now have a collection. They buy what they want anyway. The littles are fun to buy for. 🙂
Rolled my 👀 when I saw 45 minutes... But being the "Superfan" I am I made it to the end. AND enjoyed every minute 😊 Have a tree-riffic week my friends.
I thought the very same thing but it just whizzed by and I had a big smile at the end! Thank you Jerry and Linda!

I love Phillips Collision! I had a fender bender and had them do the repairs. When I picked up the car, it had been completely detailed (inside and out)! It looked like a brand new car.
What a great business.
Good for Linda having that colonoscopy. I was just at the doctor last week. He was reviewing my chart and noticed that I was overdue for my colonoscopy. He reminded me to schedule that test and said, "You don't want that to slip through the cracks.". He just wanted me to remember, but we both laughed & laughed at how that sounded. 😂
😆😅🤣😅😆
I just had one as well a few weeks ago and they found some polyps, now l have to go back in 5 yrs … l don’t want to , but l also don’t want cancer so it’s a no brainer . So glad Linda brought it up 🥰
@d.l.n.7133 my dad had polyps removed more than once, so I am on a 5 year recall for colonoscopies. I have had 2 already, and I am due for #3 in 2024. Too bad the prep couldn't be a little easier, but the procedure itself is nothing as one is totally sedated.
OMG!!! I thought you had Gizmo stuffed! The model looks soooo real. Miss the little guy.
I just turned 69 a couple of weeks ago. On Saturday, I spent 20 minutes looking for the watch on my wrist. 😳 It’s a stressful time of the year.
Glad you found your phone. 🥳
Speaking of loosing electronics… back in the 80s I wore a pager for my job. One day I heard a high pitched whine. I walked around cubicle-land to find the source. Everyone said they heard it too. Fast forward a few minutes and I realized it was the low battery warning from my pager!
Don't feel bad about thinking you lost your phone Linda I thought I lost mine panicked then my friend who I was talking to said "what are you talking to me on" lol
Love your show watch you guys on my lunch break from Connecticut! 😊
Hey, Jerry and Linda!! That was the shortest 45 minutes ever! We diehards would NEVER say it's too long! That Gizzmo look-alike was so realistic! A talented craftsman there! Linda, your phone story reminds me of the old story of someone loosing their glasses and they are on top of their head! Keep spreading your sunshine! Love from E. TN❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Always get more than one estimate for handyman work. I recently paid WAY too much for some minor home repairs and painting the master bathroom because I was under a time crunch.
When I got my colonoscopy I was surprised when everyone in the office was wearing a tee shirt that said, “See You On The Other Side!”
Loved the extra long show today! All the extra stories from Linda, also think you both look so good in the yellow t-shirts! Winter greetings from Switzerland!
Thanks so much, Vicky!
I told Gil that Linda looked really pale and we were concerned or wondering if the weather was not good or if Linda was working to hard with the grands .. glad to hear she’s okay.
Linda!!! Same here. The phone in the back pocket !!! I know that panic feeling!!😂
Definitely a good “ ENDING”!😂😂😂
Jerry, as a retired Pharmacist, I can assure you those ex lax stories are true. Enjoy you & Linda. Retired in Alabama, Melvin
An informative Monday. That Gizmo lookalike is adorable.
For colonoscopies, you can use a mix of Gatorade (yellow or green I think are ok colors) and Miralax. I used this the last 2 times, after I couldn’t stomach the mix from the doctor’s office and sought alternatives. You can even use Gatorade Zero. The mix just tastes like sweet Gatorade. It’s very tolerable and makes the prep much easier. The recipe can be easily found online.
Interesting how the instructions are different. What you described above are the instructions our doctors office gives us. As long as the outcome is the same!
@@karendjohn8803 Some doctors offices do tell people to use the Gatorade+Miralax. Others still sell or prescribe a different mix. My doctor’s staff started to get me set up with their mix, and I simply said I was going to use the Gatorade+Miralax and I didn’t get any pushback.
I would definitely check with the Gastroenterologist, before taking a preparation that isn't prescribed by the doctor who will be doing the procedure. My GI doc told me if you aren't cleaned out the test results might not be accurate and you might have to have the test repeated.
Watching you on Monday on my day off is something I look forward to.
Glad to hear it Raymond!
Hi Jerry and Linda. I thought the stuffed petsie of Gizmo was special. Glad Linda found her iphone. I don’t know that I would have an iPhone cover that holds credit cards and ID. I’ve misplaced mine many times and so has my husband. It’s a scary feeling. Have a great week. 🙋🏻♀️
Still watching every show Jerry and Linda! I love the pick me up attitude you both share since you moved to the Villages! May never move there, but I love how you share your adventures in TV!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Happy face or not Jerry you mention "work ethic" that is so difficult to find these days anywhere..any type of job. Especially the "trades" such as most homeowners need...plumbing, electrical and especially outdoor yard work. Your tips regarding good experiences must be very helpful to those living near you...to be honest these days I will take someone who knows what they are doing and if they are pleasant all the better. Hard to find the smile and work quality. Good show.
Glad Linda found her phone. I am terrified of a Colonoscopy..I get mine on 2.23.24 Thanks for the brave and encouraging words!
Piece of cake Emily!
That bbq looks so good! That is a must try. Loved your phone story, Linda. Reminded me of my panic losing my phone in Northern Ireland. Met a lovely employee at the port who took me in his Mini Cooper to go find it. It was also in my pocket and fell out in the door of the taxi.
😲😲😲😲😲
Great show. By the way, I love deviled eggs.......I'll be there in 15 minutes. Get well soon Linda.🤣🥚
😆😅🤣😅😆
Me, too ... the whites AND the yellows!😃
Love your sense of humor! Barbara has never been there for sure. TV is full of the nicest people.
Another great show. The segment on Gizmo brought me to tears. What incredible friends to do that for you. 🥰The likeness is stunning. And, I, too, initially thought you had him 'taxidermy-ed'. And the phone story. OMG! 🤣😂🤣We've all done that, to some degree, or another, haven't we?🤦♀
My next door neighbor has a clay adobe style wood burner. He buys the bundle of wood from a store ( I have seen them at Publix, Rural King, Sparr and other places) I do not know where he stores the wood, but I think the bundle is small enough that he burns it all up in one evening.
In our house, and likely because of British heritage we don't really start to put up decorations until a week before Christmas and it is all down and packed away on New Years Day. I think that may have been because we used to have live trees and they didn't last much more than two weeks if you were lucky.
Jerry’s look at the conclusion of the “Phone Story” = Priceless! 🤣 Great Video. A+
Thank you JT!
Linda I do that with my phone all the time. When I say I can't find my phone my family goes check everything on or by you and sure enough that's where it is. Happens because we have too much on our minds I think. At least we are not alone. 😂😂😂
Hi Jerry, thanks for the shout-out for BeatleManiacs today!
Looking forward to your attendance.🎶
Great show! I can feel for Linda losing her phone and finding it in the back pocket! Jerry, ELO is one of my all-time favorite bands as well, and Jeff Lynn's ELO is a testament to his genius! I usually like just one or two songs from other bands, but I love almost ALL of ELO's songs, because they're great melodies to sing-along with, especially at karaoke, which I hope there are plenty of at TV! See you both when we get there! 😀🎤🎶
Love that band...
The little Gizmo look alike is so precious! I would have cried too Linda. We are here for a month (for the first time) and loving it. We don’t want to leave. May have to look for a house to buy while we are here. I’ve been watching your videos for 9 months and you two are the reason we are visiting. Thank you!! Love your videos.
Hope you have a ball!
Great show and a terrific way to start the week. The bbq place looks awesome. Good prices too! Lots of super shows coming to the Villages. It's great to get the rundown of events from you all. 😊
Your shows put a smile on my face every time. You two are so cute! I have never really thought about living in TV, but you sure make it sound appealing. I may try to get my husband to come down for a month long rental at some point. It would be nice to get away from the cold Pennsylvania winter for a month. Stay happy & healthy!
❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Jerry & Linda, Thanks for another great Mailbag Monday. Looking forward to Thursday's show where you will talk about golf cart thieves in The Villages. This is not solely a Villages problem. My husband and I live in a 55+ community in Fruitland Park and our community has had a few golf carts stolen over the past few years. It seems to becoming more and more of a problem. Keep up the good work.
Our pleasure!
Good morning from California great show as usual. It’s 5 o’clock in the morning and the first thing I do is have my coffee and watch your show. Have a great day. See ya Thursday
❤❤❤
Thank you for getting a colonoscopy Linda. I had my first one at age 52, then 4 years ago, and I am due for another one in 2024. My 2019 colonoscopy cost almost $20K, but my employer's health insurance paid every penny of it. Yes, the prep for the colonoscopy is not the highlight of your year, but it is preventive medicine. And you are totally sedated during the procedure itself.
My Dad had a friend who did not survive colon cancer.
I love the phone story.
I look forward to Monday mornings spent with Linda and Jerry! I’m also running late on Christmas decorating this year. I am usually “always” an out with the bird and in with the tree.” Merry Christmas from Missouri 🎄🎅
Happy holidays!
Jerry and Linda we’ll be down next week for our lifestyle visit. We’re excited to see if the villages might be an answer for us. My wife does not drive (by choice) but we think would be comfortable with a golf cart. The walkability plus all the variety all 100% golf cart accessible is key. Anyway thank you we enjoy your show.
You will have a good time, but I think you might find that is not all that walkable. Walking in the neighborhoods is fantastic, but getting to places you need to go can be a different story.
@@JERRYANDLINDAAre the golf cart paths only for golf carts or can they be used by walkers and bikers?
Great show! As always, you made my Monday morning. I'd choose extra fries or exercise any day.
😁😁😁😁😁😁
We call it a Yankee Swap in Maine. In that version the person who goes first gets to “swap” their gift from anyone.
Hi from frosty Canada Jerry and Linda,
I just started watching your channel quite a few months ago now and find myself addicted and searching for a 12 step programme……no luck yet lol
I really enjoy watching and listening to you both, such fun topics and I get such a kick out of you both!! I love that you don’t seem to runout of things to talk about and you both make anything you speak on sound like such fun….I love that💕
Florida sounds like a sweet place to retire to so no wonder folks love to retire there!!
My husbands Uncle and Aunt retired there…Port Ritchie I believe…..anyhoosie, you and Linda have a wonderful start to the week and I’m looking forward to Thursday’s episode!!
Thank you so very much for sharing your life with us, I thoroughly enjoy it.
Love and light from the Canadalands 🇨🇦 🍁
🎄Tina 🎄
Hi Tina! Thank you so much for your kind words. That is our motto… have fun everyday!
Just want you both to know how enjoyable you are to watch. You are so cute together and you can tell you not only love ❤each other…. but like each other so much!
Thank you Lynda! Such a nice thing to say.
Great show today! Got the word scramble. It was a fast 45 minutes! Thanks for all you do!
Glad you enjoyed it! Great party Dianne! Thank you!
So glad you love the Giz brother ❤ sweet memories.
❤❤❤❤❤
Love watching your show while I’m at the gym on the treadmill. Makes it much more enjoyable! Linda, I’ve looked for my phone while it was in my back pocket, lol
We have one of those electric fire places that doubles as a tv stand for our big screen. The flames look real we turn it on on the rare cool nights down here.
I have one in my basement apartment. The new ones are so realistic and make the room feel cozy! 🔥
Love the podcast. Keep up the good work. I’ve been working on my wife for the last several years about retiring to TV’s. Been watching your show since day 1 👍🏼. See you when we get there, we’ll buy you both lunch someday.
Thanks, Rob!
Love u both. Happy Monday!!Thanks for all u both do for all of us. 🥰🥰
We appreciate you, Mary!
Always look forward to the village newcomers on Mondays and Thursdays..love the show always❤from a Indiana girl living on the Virginia Tennessee line
Thanks, Sherry!
Awwww, I made it on the show!!! 😊😊😊 ❤️❤️❤️
Write the check Jerry and Linda for the adults or put cash in the envelope! Never had a request for a return receipt!!! LOL!
Happy Monday & Thanks again for a great show. Have a good week & I’ll se you next week 😘
The only concern about St Bernard’s is the heat.
Love your videos - I really look forward to Mondays‼️Today’s 45 minute show really flew bye 👋
Glad you enjoyed it, Nancy!
I have a name for the Golf Cart Uber .... Guber. I hope that gives you both a chuckle.
🙂😆😅🤣😅😆🙂
Thank you Jerry and Linda! I did love the video last week with the patio villa look around. :) Appreciate all your shows...Steve from Pa.
Awesome show today. Keep up the great work. My best friend and her husband live in Gilcrest. My other and her husband live in Fenny...
I've been down several times. Haven't been down now since before Covid. They're always trying to convince me to buy my retirement home there. Up here in MA I'd sure make the dollars selling my home but wouldn't afford me to be a snow bird. I am not a fan of oppressive heat & humidity. At least here in the summer we have the ocean less than 12 miles.
My daughter-in-law is going to love her Chanel #5
Ooo la la!
This is the first thing I do on Monday - thank you!!
We live in the Villages and we just put in a gas fireplace. It’s really nice. 😁
I have a phone case very similar to yours, with credit card holder and small change section, but mine has a detachable long, thin strap so I can wear it as a cross-body mini-purse if I wish. I always do that in stores and also put my car keys in my pocket. This way, I won't have the hassle of having to cancel my credit cards, and I can still drive home even if my big purse gets stolen. Better yet, I won't have to borrow a phone to call my husband to come pick me up because my purse got stolen, lol.
Smart!
Thank you both! ❤Good show again today!
Like your background decorations!
Jerry,your sideburns and longer hair looks fabulous......GREAT SHOW❤❤
Now ya tell me!!! I got a haircut today!😆
Thank you for sharing. Happy Holidays!!!
Peachy Keen, Living the Dream, Keeping the Magic Alive. Here in the Sunshine State. Everything except the Luffa.😆 But we do stop to help if you're broke down.
Easy jumble. Friendly place that we will be visiting in 3 wks. We are anxious to see Thurs. video. I sent you a video question about golf cart theft a few months ago and you weren’t concerned. Thanks for another great video, very fast 45 min.
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Best line - "she's already back to normal. She's been vacuuming". By the way, those temperatures from Canada were probably Celsius.
I believe Audie Murphy is buried in Arlington Cemetery.
That was probably 7 degrees Celsius. 20°C is room temperature
We have an older Toyota Camry and had the same thing happen. Did the same thing. We had used a body shop a couple of years before and they put it on while we waited. $50.00.
Many Japanese cars use similar handles, and similar problems.
Oh my Cheezits! Y’all are the “Friendliest” people 😊
We figured out the puzzle….😂. Hubs and I look forward to your videos every week. We live in California, about 25 miles East of Steve Perry’s home town. Love you guys to pieces ❤ Liz & Tate
Thank you Liz! That is really sweet of you to say.❤❤❤
The Green Family missed seeing you too, at the driveway concert! We thank you for your kindness in a mention on Mailbag Monday. Life is not often "filled" with genuine, kind and giving people like the two of you. Walk proud and know that you have helped so many find a new wonderful place to call home. We will have another driveway concert - "God willing, and the Creek don't rise". Rest up guys....prayers for you and yours. Merry Christmas.
❤❤❤❤❤
What a great show this week and thanks for being so open and proactive with all of us (yes, those age appropriate healthcare procedures are so important). Looking forward to our future arrival in The Villages and Denise would love to go to Bealls with Linda and I’ll go have BBQ with Jerry. Appreciate both of you!
😁😁😁😁😁
OMG Car door handles are so cheap nowadays. And worse yet, in northern climates, since cars don't have rain gutters on the roof rail anymore, doors freeze shut much more often than they used to. We were an AMC family, (I owned a 1974 Javelin, the 7th AMC in my family) and I miss those flush mount, stainless steel door handles they had. They were so rugged and never iced up.
Linda, I had the same experience with my phone, and have also done that with keys. Definitely understand that feeling of panic! So glad you had it with you the whole time! I'm also a big fan of fried green tomatoes. I never see them in the winter though! I always grab them at the farmers market in the summer!Great show again, lots of helpful information! I always watch to the end because you are so entertaining! I got the word jumble!!
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Another great show! Bruce got the puzzle immediately! I was so impressed! 😊 Video was not too long, was a fun show. We too watch you guys every Monday while drinking our morning coffee in bed! Linda we all loose our phones in our back pockets! 😂 We were wondering about the Gizmo pillow too! Have fun decorating for Christmas! Our tree was up before Turkey day! 🎄 Be Well you two! ❤
❤🏆❤🏆❤
You guys really make my Monday! So look forward to each Monday. Hope you are well past all that Linda. Love the candles, trees and cards behind the set - looks so beautiful! Really enjoy your holidays & time with kids! 🥰💕
Glad you are feeling better Linda, and yes I agree I am also taking down all my sea stuff and putting up all my Christmas stuff too
Great show Jerry and Linda...loved the story about your phone being in your back pocket, but I know that panic when you realize that either your phone or your purse is missing! 😱 It's a terrible feeling! So happy you're feeling better, and just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed the show with your friend Mike and his beautiful home. Have a wonderful week, and thank you for all of your hard work!
Great show!! A lot of fun in Villages and many tips on saving on car repairs... 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Got it! Love it!
Another great episode. Thanks Jerry and Linda!
Our pleasure, Leilani!
Oh, I was afraid little Gizmo had gone to Doggie Heaven😢. I know it broke your hearts. I loved his jokes! Loved your story, Linda, about your missing cell phone. I’m always hoping to see you two while I’m out & about. I loved Gizmo❣️
Thank you, Sally.
Always look forward to both shows but especially mailbag Monday and the longer the better it’s great. You all are a breath of fresh air for us in this stressed out world. Your sincerity and down to earth presentations are so great to look forward to every week. Thank you it’s so relaxing watching you all. Thank you so much for all the fun times and laughter also.You all are very much appreciated.😊
Wow! Thank you so much, Jan. we appreciate your comments so much.❤❤
Thanks!!
Loads of great info, fun and enjoyable to watch, you both are great! For years I've said that businesses have taken the "customer" out of customer service! Great Show 🙂
Great show!
Great scramble puzzle :)
Got the word puzzle,.. (to me, it was very easy this week,.. )
Great show. Gee I never heard of a 2 day colonoscopy prep. Must have been awful. Well we gotta do them! Love the statue of gizmo but it makes me saddened. I couldn't look at it All day. Can't wait for Thursday show!!
On my 2 previous colonoscopies, I started drinking the prep liquid the night before, 2 times, I believe. Then I had to get up around 5 am. the morning of the colonoscopy and drink more prep liquid. Maybe that is what Linda meant by 2 day prep.
Hi Both...what's unbelievable is Jerry videoing on the way home...I am absolutely spinning after anesthetic and in no way to be seen on video ha
Great video and Michael is really doing well in his new home.
Thanks for all your helpful tips. We are hoping to bump into in April on our Lifesyle visit ❤
As usual another great show! Merry, you are just like me when it comes to less than friendly employees. It sort of becomes a challenge to me to try and make them smile. I will usually ask them how their day is going with a big smile. Sometimes I will say that they look like they are having a rough day and I hope it gets better. Sometimes, I can get them to snap,out of it because they are embarrassed that they are being called out, most of the time they say nothing and continue in their foul mood. In my house growing up, if I came to breakfast in a bad mood, I got sent back to my room until I could be pleasant. No one is taught this anymore.
Love you guys! Keep up the great work.
Thank you, Patricia!
