You’re not Newcomers anymore! Lol. I live in California, never will move to Florida….and I still watch you!
You’re fun!
Oh, I have that lego set !!! A gift from the grandkids .
Linda, don' worry about referring to the police as "cops". When I was a lot younger a police captain told me that the word goes back to English bobbies & stands for 'Constable On Patrol'. Jerry, a prison guard was strolling past the cells on death row where a woman was to be executed the next morning. He asked her what she wanted for her last meal & she replied, "I don't know. What do you want to have?"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just a comment about insurance. I moved here from Englewood Florida down south near the Gulf in September two days before hurricane Ian hit. I had renewed my policy in July and while very expensive it's saved me. Our area got hit and my house and barn needed extensive exterior repairs and minor interior repairs. Every single carport in the area was demolished. I only got my settlement this month, but because I was heavily insured it will cover all the money that I used to repair my property. Once I received the settlement amount I was so grateful that I had over insured. It still did not cover some of the cost of cleaning up the trees on the property. But I still felt blessed that I had what I had. When I moved up here I did buy flood and sinkhole insurance because of the changing conditions in the weather. I don't regret that either. True sinkholes occur next to the ponds and marshes in general and I am next to a pretty large marshy area. And even though I am up on a 10-foot retaining wall I have no regrets about buying insurance I may need
Good mention! I hope you will share other details about the costs of living in "Paradise".
I am entertaining the thought of retiring in Fl; but on a fixed income, and single. I know the villages would be impossible for me to obtain....so, I'm looking and learning! Thank you.
@@Nick-kc9mz it's really apples and oranges. My property down south was 5 Acres with three buildings including an expensive Barn. My daughter live there and was a horse trainer. So we had insurance that was extensive because of the cost of the three buildings. My insurance cost down there with absolutely everything included including flood and hurricane was about $11,000 a year. My insurance up here in the villages on the other hand is still expensive for a 2000 square foot home at just over $6,000, but in comparison feels like a deal. Now I did add hurricane, flood and sinkhole insurance which is why the cost is higher. But after my experience down south I felt necessary
My nephew is a firefighter. Most fire depts are busier than you know and serving their community. I locked myself out of my second floor condo. Firefighters came on my deck, into my unit and opened my door. I live in a suburb of St. Louis. We have wonderful guys and gals serving.
You might want to visit a Fire House. Firefighters love to share and prevent fires. In some places, they'll put a new fire alarm for you! Some provide alarms for seniors.
I may be prejudiced about firefighters, but they are some of the nicest people I have met. They are public servants and heroes.
We agree!
Jerry, your love for editing videos shows and we are the lucky recipients of your talent. Thanks to both you & Linda! Your videos help us northerners get through the grey winter days.
Wow, thank you!❤❤❤
I'm still giggling about your re-enactment of Jerry's fall! That was a real HOOT! Love you two! Thanks for sharing and God bless.
Thanks, Cynthia!
I laughed too! Linda did so well. I can just here her saying, "help me, Jerry! Move a little" 😆
Great job as usual. Love the way little Gizmo rests his chin on Jerry's arm, even when Jerry is moving around.... Daddy's Boy ! Keep living your life to the fullest. Three weeks until we're back to our Villages home.
That’s the case with hurricane claims too, by the way: deductibles are a percentage of your home’s value.
Everyone’s gonna be sending you stamps now….🤣😂😅😂🤣
What a hoot!! LoL I can’t believe your neighbors didn’t come out or call 911 !! 🤪😂
😆😅🤣🤣😅😆
Gizmo was so funny watching the both of you! 😂😂😂
He did not know what to think! We were wondering what the neighbors might be thinking too.
That was hysterical! When you put the rope around his neck I almost fell off my chair!!! Y'all crack me up!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
27:03 LOL when Gizmo smiles
😁😁😁😁😁
You two are rays of sunshine. Thank you for making Mondays not so bad!
❤❤❤❤❤
You two really have the happiest life. And such good sports. I chuckled out loud when Linda was trying to get you up Jerry. 😂 And Gizmo was so cute watching her pull you in the door!
😁😁😁😁😁
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I’m dying !! That was tooo funny with Linda putting the rope around Jerry’s neck🤣🤣💕
😁😁😁😁😁
I was rolling on the floor with your little “I’ve fallen” skit - the best part was when Linda used the rope around your neck to get you in the door! OMG that was hilarious I couldn’t stop laughing! Great show guys, miss ya! I cannot wait to get down there😂😘🐶 Hamish too!
❤❤❤❤❤
Too funny :) Poor Gizmo didn't know what was happening
That's what we said!😁😁
Loved the plate, the Lego Bonsai tree and the fall skit, priceless but you are right. Falling is no joke. Cheers!
🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
We love Bo Bice!!! He is from our old hometown, Helena, Al😍😍So nice and ever so talented‼️Thanks for sharing our pic with you two! It was such a joy to finally meet y’all❤️We are counting down the dates of our cruise😎😎
I actually built that Lego tree Linda and your grandchild did. They have tons of them. Also, my son built the succulent collection, Birds of Paradise, tulips, and roses. Legos have come a long way since I was a kid!😂
I love your videos. You both are great on camera. Your bloopers are so funny! 😂😂 Is Gizmo always so sleepy? 🐶🐾😴
Yes, he takes after his daddy. 😝
Hi Linda and Jerry - Love all the work and fun you put into your channel !! Your funny "falling" one was so good ! FYI - you are so right about the fire department who will come to help Villagers who fall and cannot get up ! My neighbr, across the street from me, has had to use them a lot, unfortunately. Her husband told me that it takes 3 firemen to get his wife up ! - one on each side of her to help lift her and then another fireman to stand in front of her with his feet and body blocking her feet so she won't just slide forward and not be able to be able to get balanced on her feet so that she can stand up !
😲😲😲😲😲
She should use a wheel chair, walker and or Cane just to be on the safe side like I DO !! On the TV the ex Navy seal in FL just fell 20' off his Roof, still in Hospital I think.🤨🤨🤨🤨
I’ve been watching since early 2020 when I was quarantined in my tiny Japanese apartment, I couldn’t wait to get here! And your pre-Covid adventures gave me hope. I finally arrived in June 2020 and still watch every week. Thanks for keeping me company during those 6 months of boredom!
Konichiwa! 😁😁😁😁😁
I love you guys! I just laughed till I cried!!! We scheduled our Lifestyle Visit for May (tacked onto a convention in Miami). I sure hope we get to run into you and meet you. As long as you’re making videos, I’ll keep watching. See you when we get there! ❤🎉💃🌹👍
❤Thank you Marguerite!
Wow! Linda’s new outfit cost almost two rolls of stamps!! 😂
🙂🙂🙂😒😒😒
Indeed!!!
OK. that lawn rescue made my final decision. Im moving to the Villages to be around my people.
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Well, now you know, Linda. Hiding the body will be tough!
🤣🤣🤣
Y'all just keep on being you. Don't change a thing!! I will likely never get to live there in TV, not on cashier's pay, but, I certainly don't begrudge those who can and do. I have all I need; everything beyond that is icing on the cake🍰! Love you guys! See you Thursday!
That is a great attitude, Kathy. Thanks so much for watching.
Such a compliment, thank you!! We are all so blessed in this country, yet so much complaining. Even in the hard times, there are blessings...if you: woke up, dress yourself, get from A to B on your own, have an appetite, drive, see, hear, talk, breathe without help, reason, etc. These are all things many of us take for granted! Consider what life would be like if even just one of those blessings would be taken from you... For me, those basics are pretty much everything...anything above that really is icing on the cake!!❤️❤️
Police are not always visible but they always show up quickly. I heart our law enforcement. ❤❤
We do too!
I miss my grandson. I am flying home for his birthday in the middle of February.
Oh my God I laughed so hard watching that segment of you falling off the ladder. That was priceless.
I have been watching you two for years. Such a fun time. My family hears alot of Jerry and Linda stories! Thank you for the time you devote to making so many of us feel like family. The hubby retires from teaching either this June or maybe one more year. We will be planning a visit. Linda you go girl!!! Dragging Jerry in made me cackle. It looks like the plants are coming back after the frost. Give little Gizmo a hug🥰
❤❤❤❤❤
OMG!!! That video of Jerry being dragged by Linda was HILARIOUS!!! I appreciate you two so much!!! Sending lots of love from CA!!! 🥰
Thanks so much!!❤❤❤❤
Yes , Hilarious !
The Fallin Down skit was well done and funny!
I love Linda bring you inside! I laughed out loud. 😂😂😂 Great job!
I use to live on cumberland island ga and had business in st Mary’s. They began allowing golf carts. I always wondered about where that was headed. Any way to make a buck- tags etc. insurance also I suppose- you should see kids hanging off back and on roads with vehicles ,,,, safety issue . It would be a hit for your community, im sure. I can see where that would be a big selling point to be able to drive your golf cart.
Jerry & Linda, I am 54 and Canadian. I would love to move down to Florida at some point in my life. I just think your channel is so great. You both touch on all sort of things to educate us followers. Thank you for all your hard work and for all the fun watching.
Thank you Sonia! We have Canadian friends that live on our street. Great people!
Thanks for that clip of JERRY LAYING DOWN ON THE JOB.
Linda should have just come out with a fishing pole and whispered that the fish were biting.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was hilarious seeing Linda trying to drag Jerry into the house. We were laughing so hard! Great jokes, Gizzy!
😆😆😆😆😆
Hi Jerry and Linda, I was fortunate enough last week to visit some friends in Juno/West Palm Beach area last week to enjoy some of those 80 degree days. As you were talking about your community with gates instead of a gated community and people being able to just push the button and drive through. I’ve been there, I remember. If there are any vagrants, bag lady’s or anyone in the Juno/ Palm Beach area, the police will pick them up and post there picture on a website. No place to park. No free loading. The residents pay a lot for their way of life. They also have the”poop bags” for your dog too.😂
You guys had me cracking up with that little skit you did LOL! Very fun video. Hope you have an awesome week 🙂
Thank you! You too!
Gizmo, as usual, made my day. My little rescue dog is 2. I call him a deagle ( dachshund and beagle. He’s got longer legs but the same coloring as yours. Hey, from Carolina Orchards in Fort Mill, SC!
I bet he is a cool looking dog.
He’s very cute
Loved the Jerry's Fall dark comedy skit! Very funny and well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Gizmo was looking at the scene as Linda was “dragging Jerry inside.” Probably wondering “what is going on with those two now!” Even living in gloomy Michigan, I do not plan to move to Fla. Moving to Texas to be near family. Love watching you two!
Fyi ....Herman's Hermits are performing at Epcot in early June.
I'm still laughing!
😁😁😁😁😁
Thank you for all your efforts on the shows. I thoroughly enjoy them!! 👏🤗
Lol, you two made my morning.
Thank you, Valerie!
I love it . . .my husband calls people "jackwagons" too! Great show - news, comedic routines, and Gizmo's jokes!!
😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Jerry, speaking of flood insurance, the FL legislature recently passed a bill requiring ALL FL homeowners' insurance policies to include mandatory flood insurance, beginning 1/1/26 or 1/1/27. (Can't remember which of those years.) This will raise insurance premiums even more! And I'm in north FL and have never needed flood insurance in the 33 years I've lived in my house! Time to self-insure for me, I guess...
FL wants to Get Out from under this Ins Mess. So all pay in even if 100ft up helps every one.No Low or basements ect for me LET THEM PAY they brought there. High and Dry I'm and cancel FEMA...ALOHA
I didn't know Linda was so strong! Laughed so hard at that one. Even better than the skit where Linda dealt with that roofer which I thought was hilarious. Linda needs a video compilation of all her escapades. Thanks for your great sense of humor!!
😁😁😁😁😁
LOL can’t stop laughing on the call clip. love your sense of humor
Great Show! I laughed so hard about your segment on falling and can't get Up. It looked like Linda was going to strangle you Jerry! Very funny but not funny when it really happens.
😁😁😁😁😁
Why are people so impressed with people who are employed in the fields of acting, music or the entertainment field in general? They are average human beings, not anything other than anyone who is employed in any other field.
Always a fun start to the week, watching the three of you! Linda dragging Jerry with a rope around the neck, just hilarious! I know you aren't making fun of anyone falling, just having fun! Mission accomplished! I'm always smiling or laughing watching you guys... such positive people!!
Glad you enjoyed it, Karen!
I doubt very much they will take the golf carts away from The Villages. After all that is what gives The Villages it's charm, the golf carts going and coming along the paths. Linda's bonsai tree is beautiful You're doing a good job Linda! That rescue of Jerry was hilarious but only because I knew he hadn't really fallen. You two are so funny! Thanks Giz for the jokes today! ❤❤❤
❤❤❤
*its charm
Love that the grandkids are nearby ❤ Sending love from Los Angeles!
Oh my gosh!!! We were laughing our butts off!!!
@14:04 - hilarious! You two always make my Monday's enjoyable.
😁😁😁😁😁
You guys are hilarious 😅. I love the “Jerry fell” scene. 😂
😁😁😁😁😁
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And the skit was funny too 😉
Have a super week everyone
What a fun skit. Laughed out loud.. The Convertible Club and lots of other clubs in TV get their shirts from Custom Apparel on 466. They do a great job and are reasonably priced. You can buy one of their shirts or bring your own shirt in and have the logo put on it. Thanks for another fun informative video!
Hilarious!!!
Up until around 2004 you couldn’t drive your golf cart after dark.
LOL loved the segment with Linda trying to get Gerry thru the front door LOL, love your channel.
😊 thank youErnestine!. Noreen!
I laughed my speech out!!! Especially when you put the rope around his neck and then tried to fold him in half to pull him through the door!!!!! Hahaha
😁😆😅🤣🤣😅😆😁
I "THINK POSITIVE ALL THE TIME! "My story is too long to type. Things could be worse than what you've been given. Thanks for my input.
That was a great video, fallen and can't get up. Very funny. I'm sure if Linda stepped on your privates , you would rolled into the house. I am a vollenteer firefighter and go to the same situation many times
Glad you enjoyed it
A awesome vlog as always...from a Indiana girl living on the Virginia Tennessee line
I used lift assist for my husband many times and was grateful. There was no charge and they came within a few minutes. It is a separate phone number so don’t have to call 911
Hi Jerry and Linda, just an FYI, here in Lady Lake we do have police cars riding around our neighborhoods once in a while. This is off Chula Vista and I am sure all the other neighborhoods in Lake County! Love your videos!!
Thanks for sharing!
You guys brighten my day! 👍❤️😎😎
Gizmo is hilarious… Looking forward to your new ebike review for my Mom. Cheers 🍻
Coming soon!
Love LEGO. So funny watching the fall video... Thank goodness you didn't do this at Haloween... Linda would've got out the chain saw cut you up, and then got the superglue out to stick you back together. Maybe with a little help from the Grandchildren - You'd have to get a good LEGO book though to make sure all the parts are correctly assembled :-)
I am surprised the pools are not heated in winter months for water aerobics.
They are.
The three stooges. That was a GREAT SKIT’!!!
What a funny show! I can't wait to see that review of the e-trike!! Trikes like that, but not e ones, were all the rage in Florida retirement communities in the 70s when my grandparents retired to Deerfield Beach. We had fun riding them when we were teens. I'll be looking for that 64 minutes ride through the historic area video. I love that area. Thank you again for all you do.
Hello Jerry & Linda, you are such a great couple. I have popped in and out and always enjoy your comments. We live in North Florida and I want out, but I am waiting for my wife to say yes. I am familar with, Sebring and Lake Placid area, which I love, it is the real old Florida. I see that the Village is huge and varies alot. I would like to know which area you chose as it seems that there are so many choices from the original Village.
Thanks so much. We are basically in the Brownwood are. (12 minutes by golf cart)
Omg!! We were laughing so hard. You guys are too funny 😂🤣😆
😁😁😁😁😁
Just remember, if Jerry should fall/ pass out, just wave an oatmeal raisin cookie 🍪 under his nose 🤣
There you go! Problem solved!😁😁😁
But pluck out the raisins first!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was thinking the same thing, Tinker.
Too funny! Glad Jerry finally was okay. ❤😂
🤣🤣🤣
The Jerry falling bit was hilarious! Giggled a lot. But next time call the fire dept! Linda doesn’t seem that sympathetic under such circumstances. Lol
She was a little rough on me.
I caught the “pretty, pretty, pretty good reference 😂”. Good one!
😁😁😁😁😁
Good morning from a cold Silver Hills, Great show..
Morning!
😆 I nearly spit my coffee out when I saw Linda trying to drag jerry in by the neck with a rope! Lol, love you guys. Keep your videos coming!
😁😁😁😁😁
Love the shows, do we need to live in the villages to join any of the groups and activities
Yes, they are for residents.
Jerry, Linda I was a little surprised to see that you didn't list anyones name who contributed to the Thanks button. I know it sounds silly, but it is so much FUN to see your name up on the big screen. Always LOVE your videos!!!!!
Don't worry…. we did not have many so we are saving them for next time. Thank you!
Loved the video. Too funny! I know it was all in fun and it is good to know there is someone you can call should a fall happen. You guys are awesome!
Glad you enjoyed it!
14:31 That was fantastic 😂 I pee’d a little from laughing so hard!
😁😆😅🤣🤣🤣😅😆😁
Wow was that E bike cool! I can't wait to see the video on that :) And yes Jerry I love the cartoon ones more. Linda had me cracking up when she put a rope around your neck to try to get you through the door. On a serious note a friend of mine just told me she had to call the fire dept to help get her dad up after a fall. She tried and her mom was too frail. They came and picked him right up like he was a toddler she said. I had no idea you could call and ask for help for this. I told her although they didn't put out a fire that time, that must be such a good feeling to help someone in their capacity within the community. 💜💜
omg, that was sooooooo funny. I've watched it twice and still laugh out loud. Well done, your humour is great and enjoyable. Love your vlog
❤❤Glad you enjoyed it!❤❤
Wow your bonsai looks great. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻We tried oodles of time to grow and maintain one- no luck !
It probably looks better on the screen than it does in real life.
😂🤣😂🤣. Best. Skit. Ever. Thank you.
😆😆😆😆😆
Earthquake insurance is similar in Ohio, 10% deductible for what your home is insured for!
Love the "jack wagon" comment! LOL :)
Love the black shirt Jerry.
Now that’s funny!!! 😅 More like that! Great channel!
Thanks, Ed... it might take me a while to recover!😁😁
Love the new ebike. What kind is that one? That would be great for me. Nice and easy ride for me, no worries about falling. Linda, did you like you it?
We will have a full show on it, coming up.
I was actually considering The Villages. I will NOT be moving to Florida. Why? You cannot get quality Homeowners insurance. My brother got stung for $50K due to IDA. He is moving to Vermont. I look at Insurance choices and I have zero confidence. Take Care.
