I love your positivity, It's contagious and we all need a little sunshine. Love your videos, and I like it when Gizmo thinks about something, and the bubble comes over his head with what he thinks about a situation. I always laugh.
We're renting in The Villages now, waiting for our house to close. After looking at a couple dozen houses, we chose one in the Village of Pine Hills. I'll have to give y'all some of the credit for our decision to move here! Thank you so much for showing so many different aspects of this wonderful community!
Thanks Debby. Congratulations! We hope you love it here like we do!
Do you think it's a good time to sell and store belongings till it's a better time to buy? I would hate to move twice and rent. Your thoughts!
Why Pine Hills?
@@michelleking9377 I have no idea when it's a good time to sell or buy. Everyone has a different situation, so you have to do what's right for you.
@@michelleking9377 That's where we found a house we liked, and it's convenient to a lot of stuff we need. There's something we liked about every area.
Linda, I have to inspect all restrooms too. My husband thinks I work for the Health Dept.
Women have different bathroom issues, overactive bladder. Knowing where all restrooms are located is part of being a woman. Love your show, the best part of Mondays.
Thanks Bobbie, we really appreciate that. We have a good time doing the shows and enjoy bringing them to you.
Jerry your beautiful wife gave you three sons. Her body went through a lot during those periods of time. It doesn't work the same after giving birth. It's been stretched beyond belief. I too seek out restrooms every where I go. Be patient and wait on her while she uses the facilities and think of those three sons you are blessed with.
I was thinking the same thing. Also when raising kids, you always need to make sure they go potty before it is too late!. I think women are so used to checking and making sure her little ones go, later in life we just hate to miss an opportunity!

“Unhappily living in my parent’s basement.” 🤣🤣🤣 💕✌🏼
Also… men, after you give birth to three children, you can complain about a woman’s restroom stops. 🤦🏻♀️😁🤣
I have the weather of the villages on my phone. We often compare our area with the villages. There often is similarities in the temperature and humidity. Sad to say though we feel we have been priced out of the villages due to the crazy real estate market. So for now we will wait and see. Wishing you guys and gizmo the best. GD
you guys are so comfortable with hosting this entertaining show and my wife and i appreciate every episode.
Jerry, trust me, I never, EVER leave the house without first using the bathroom. But all that does is buy myself a little time before I seek out a public restroom. If you had had daughters instead of sons, you wouldn't have made that comment. Our 4 daughters and I have benefited enormously from the fact that my husband grew up with 3 sisters. In the 40 years I have been married to him he has never once hinted any impatience about our need to use public restrooms. He has only been gracious and accommodating. For which I'm truly grateful.
Amen, Sister.
Good morning Jerry and Linda, I have, and will continue to pray for the safety of your son as well as all of our service members. God bless.
Thank you so much, RA.
No matter where you live you choose HOW you want to live and WHO you associate with!! LOVE the "restroom" tour! Ha! I'm at the age now where if I pass a bathroom, it's enough to make me GO! HAHAHAHAHA! One of JOYS of your channel is how you show the goodness and fun and beauty of The Villages!!
Jerry has got his "I ain't take anybody's crap today!" look.
Ha! Once in a while! 😁😁
Haha I was thinking the same!!
I was laughing because he definitely seemed “in a mood” today😜
He was definitely OVER IT!!
Glad to see I was not the only one feeling this way. It felt to me that Jerry was very short with Linda today.
@@berlinbeachkat4878 I totally agree, Jerry seemed almost impatient with Linda today.
Turquoise is your color! Thank you for covering the restroom issue also. It looks like they are immaculate.
You are killing me....."Unhappily living in my parents basement"......believe you are 99.9% spot on.....lol
Love it! Glad you called them out.
Love you two !…and that cool little pooch !…I look forward every Monday to your comedy show !…and the information you pass to everyone !
We need all those rest rooms because these are our Golden Years.
As I was reading the other viewers comments I was thinking, they really were picking up a vibe that I had just chalked up to it's not a perfect day thing.. Then when I read your response I thought oh my gosh they all were right. Thank you & your son for his service & sacrifices to protect us! I can't say enough GOOD for our service people & their families. My thoughts & prayers are always with them.
Unhappily living in my parents basement lol! So true, some people are just negative about literally everything including themselves. That’s why I like your channel, y’all are so positive and just real, it’s refreshing and a pleasure to watch. I have no idea if I’ll ever move
To the villages because I’m not there yet age wise but your channel has taught me a lot. My grandparents and uncle and aunt lived in Leesburg for years at Hawthorne. Back in the 70 and 80’s. Not sure I want o retire in Florida cause of the heat , I’m a cold weather guy, anywho, keep up the great work! Y’all are a positive light in a sometimes dark world.
Thank you Keith, so nice of you to say! ❤❤❤
I have a Dr of Indian descent and he talks fast with a thick accent. I have asked him to speak slower because I have trouble understanding key subjects. He cooperates and visits are better. Love your channel!!
Thank you Jerry and Linda from Louie and Genie the only thing that swings in Florida is Spanish moss from the trees great job love you guys bye
👍🏼👍🏼 great questions and great answers 👍🏼👍🏼
Lmbo😂Linda I was on my keyboard typing as you said , everybody will be googling!
Jerry And Linda Gizmo Was "Talking" Sitting There With You, Probably Saying "More Snacks" 😀 Mine Do The Same, He's Such a Cutie Pie, Love Your Channel And Appreciate Your Opinion.
Why do I love these mailbag segments? I think I love seeing your facial expressions and measured responses to off the chart questions. I was smiling the entire time. Thanks so much. You’re good people and you made my evening.
Thank you Yogi, so nice!
You guys are always “UP AND Smilin” . Keep it up, you’re a pleasant exception to the usual UA-cam STUFF.
Thanks Monster, we always look on the bright side… some days it's harder than others. 😁😁😁
My mom lives in upstate NY. We live in NC. My bride of 40 years knows every rest stop on I-85, I-95, I-77, I-84 ......
O
LOVE the turquoise shirts - my favorite colore!!!
Seatbelts and the COVID Vaccine save lives. Thanks for getting the vaccine on camera and also mentioning all the other things that are important in life. Love this channel. Fellow retiree always watching here in Michigan.. Go Blue!!!!!!!
At Ryan…about the COVID “vaccine”who said anything about that?? A virus that has a 99.987% survival rate.
@@Vee2020FL If your African American, which I am, it's smaller than that and I'm up to 14 friends and family that have died from it in the last 1 1/2 years. If you haven't looked a family member or friend in the face while they are lying in a casket, please get the vaccine. I have and they don't come back from this. COVID is bad. Vaccines save lives. My wife is at the hospital now getting the infusion for COVID. She is doing good now and spirits are high.
Thanks Ryan and congratulations to that great little league team of yours!
Please keep us posted. 🙏🙏
@@JERRYANDLINDA Thanks and they are a great bunch of kids. I bet that some of them later in life, will make it to the big league... They played their hearts out and it paid off...
Thank you Jerry & Linda for staying positive in spite of a few negative folks. We find that the majority of the folks saying negative about The Villages are not from The Villages nor most likely never even been to The Villages; just reading rumors from mainstream media. We enjoy your videos because you guys are always positive, helpful and funny. Gizmo is hilarious! Cheers 🍻
Thanks Myk! We need more folks like YOU! 😁😁
Thank you!
Love your bidet!! I have one also can’t live without it!! Thx for another great video!
Thank you for being so positive, it is a choice! There are pros and cons for every community. It’s all about what you make of it!
Thanks Robert, we do have fun with it. Yes you are right though….. being happy and positive is a choice that we try to make every day.
Hi guys! Great video. Here's something be good to go over... What this all about ....The Property Owners' Association, Inc. (POA) is the original property owners' group in The Villages. Thanks!
Love your show. I love Linda’s positivity. A great man and hero of mine once said that he doesn’t acknowledge the existence of his detractors- winners never do. So the pessimists who want to drag down TV are non factors. Keep up the great work -we love you!
Jerry quote "you just gotta DO IT"....makes perfect sense...I think the location might be more challenging to get agreement on. Jerry and Linda should operate the "Trolly Tours" ...would be very popular.!! Avatan now that is a new one to me...lifelong Minnesota resident. Learn new things on this channel every time. Thanks.
I’ve lived here four years and have never seen a palm tree rat or a palmetto bug. And, the STD and swinger urban legends are tired and old. Like you, I’m over it. Some people will believe anything and perpetuate the rumors especially if it’s negative. Thanks for calling them out. Keep up the good work! Love your videos!
😁😁😁
I'm with Linda. TV should definitely restart and continue the trolley tours. They are very informative and fun. We did all 3 tours when we did our lifestyle tour in 2019. They're the best.
I agree. I did 2 of the trolley tours. I wish I had gotten to go on the Spanish Springs trolley tour.
Jerry, when you " gotta go, you gotta go"... You might find yourself in that situation some time...So, have some patience for those that might have some issues... It is always good to know where restrooms are located.. There probably is a need in The Villages for people who have "issues"...
Oh, I do... I just hate going in public restrooms.
Good morning, you are very positive, and uplifting and always funny! I so enjoy all your videos.
Really enjoy your Monday morning videos. I look forward to sitting having my cup of coffee and watching Gizmo at the end. The information you provide is very helpful; even if someone's not living or moving to The Villages.
Pic's of the pup's was so adorable, can't wait for ur videos every week. U do an excellent job, so informative. Thanks for all ur hard work. Hope I'm lucky enough to move there some day.
I had a spider gallop across the duvet straight for me when I was reading one night. It was huge! So I launched it across the room and then I couldn't find it.
Love your show!! Just wanted to comment on the nudist question. There are several nudist resorts, etc. in Florida. I happen to live in one. As Jerry said, in the Villages, you would have to make sure that you fencing it high enough so that your neighbors can't see over it. You would be close to many of the other resorts in Florida where you could practice naturism freely. You will love Florida!!
Actually while visiting Tampa, they have more then a couple of areas with nudists camps, so I guess thats the place to go! However who ever asked just look around for the upside down Pineapples!😂
I'm moving down in 2 years..please prices come down by then. Love your channel.
You three are so fun!! thanks for the video!
THANKS AGAIN
Experts say housing prices will go back down to prices before the surge.
I just turned 74 years old and don't ever plan on moving to the Villages but you guys got me hooked.
I traded Wheel of Fortune for your video's. lol You really seem to enjoy your retirement .
Loved the tour you took us last week to different parts of this area in your golf cart.
I have been retired almost 10 years and my hobby for the last 5 years has been working in my shop rebuilding carts I buy. I enjoy getting up each morning and working in my shop. For me that is a perfect retirement . My joy is still being able to continue to work with my hands.
Keep up with these youtube video's. I live in the state right above your area and my Village is a 3500 sf shop. Keep up the good work. EZGO :) Pet Gizmo for me. Tom
Hi Tom, That sounds like a wonderful hobby. Bet you can create some really cool carts in your garage. Thanks for your kind words, and thank you for watching.
The bathrooms tour...priceless. Love you guys ❤️
The real estate market in southern California is crazy nuts too! Three neighbors have sold their houses in the last few months for some crazy prices. The thing is, you have to have a place to move to and in this market, you will end up over paying for your new house too (unless you move out of state).
I work in a Life Plan Senior Living Community and we've seen an uptick in new move ins all due to the outrageous prices people are getting for their homes. If you buy in and move to our community, you are taken care of for the rest of your life (we have four "levels of living" Independent and Assisted Living, a Health Center (skilled and short term rehab), and Memory Support).
Its nuts out there. Have a great Monday. :)
Thank you for sharing another great Mail Bag Monday show. You guys are the best. Your answers really help when learning about The Villages.
Always a pleasure watching your videos...thanks for sharing and God bless.
Oh good Lord. The STD thing was 12-15 years ago and it was not The Villages but Sumter County. I have seen ONE Palmetto bug in the house and two in our garage. Saw a dead rat on Morse Blvd once. We have been here 8 years. You have to wonder why someone is so negative about TV. There is NO place better than here.
Dear Jerry....we ladies have to go more often because we had kids!
I have never heard anything from anyone about being homesick. There is a brief period, about 6 minutes, where you think “What the hell did I do?”
We have United Healthcare The Villages, and our premiums are 0 per month. Great docs and Specialty Care services.
You handled the nude thing very well. Again, Good Lord. Thanks guys!
Always enjoy mailbag Monday! ❤️❤️
According to some Native Americans, September is the month of the spiders as it's the month spiders move indoors for the winter , so your subject today is timely.
Hi Jerry & Linda,
Just want to let you know how much I enjoy your show and it is a show! It gets better all the time.Just as you complimented the maker of Some Kind of Heaven,what you're doing is "masterful". I especially like the Gizmo Q&A like when someone asked who is his voice.What a hoot!
It’s always good to know where these rest rooms are.
Always great, Loving that high tech Bathroom device, very fancy. Love your positivity and sense of Humour. Have a great week.
Quality Healthcare is one reason why we’re staying put in New England.
I look forward to your show every Monday! Gizmo is such a stud! 😘
Moving to "The Villages" in six weeks! I've watched most of your videos and now play them during dinner so my husband can watch them.
Congratulations Lori! And… thank you for watching!😁😁😁
@@JERRYANDLINDA We'll see you when we get there!!
Thanks for the laugh Gizmo. I needed it today.
Especially today, being positive rocks
That was fun! Whats Gizmo upset about😨He just needs a big hug from all of his fans 🤗🤗🤗!
No offense guys, but Gizmo is quickly becoming my favorite Newcomer!
Such a _gooood_ boy!
Loved the questions this Monday. Especially the bathroom & the Nudists from Minnesota. I can related to the bathroom? I drink alot of tea so sometimes I gotta go lol. What I really enjoyed was Gizmo, he seemed to have alot of thoughts about these ?'s today lol..as always, enjoy the videos & thank you for taking the time to do them
Gizmo kills me. Great dog. I love his little segment on the video. Hope to meet you soon
Thanks, Dave! 😁😁
Gizmo is hilarious! I just love him! I’m always surprised by all of the rumors about The Villages. We have been here since June 3rd. We haven’t had palmetto bugs, met any swingers, or heard talk about STDs. I can say that people we know all laugh about the rumors though. Swingers and the supposed bath scrubbies on golf carts and cars are the ones people joke about the most. We haven’t seen rats of any kind here either. Stay positive! Life is short. I love living in the bubble and not having the stress of all of the negativity. Thank you, Jerry, Linda and Gizmo!
Gizmo is so endearing this morning. I wanted to reach out and kiss him!
Gizmo. Great. Hee, Hee, Hee. Very Creative!!!
I've been a bathroom frequent-er since I was a kid! I joke I should write a guide where every bathroom in the city is! I asked a nurse once why? She said likely because you're walking which loosens the bowels, you/they become relaxed and then voila! I feel you Linda!
Great video and thanks for sharing any info...
The bathroom issue my better half is always looking for a bathroom when we go to any store he says I'll be right back that is my clue that he is going to the bathroom...so I guess man or women needs a bathroom at times.
Gizmo was somewhat needed today I hope he is okay........see you guys next time.
Gizmo's jokes always crack me up. Seems his voice should be younger though. When you mentioned "doctor" and he groaned, it shows he understands English -- that was hilarious. Always fun and informative questions, even the "whacky" ones! Glad to see the recent crazy weather hasn't affected you. I always think of you when I hear about hurricanes hitting Florida. 💛💚💙💜❤️🧡
I always look for the restrooms wherever I go too Linda!
You two are to funny and Gizmo is the referee, thank you for your sharing!
Oh Jerry. I love the signature on the letter. I spit up my corn flakes.
😁😁😁😁😁
Great Answer to the Nudists, and the Veranda homes would be the best type of house to buy for privacy. You handled that with your usual tact, of course, Linda chuckled a bit and so did I. BTW, We live in Monarch Grove Village, south of 44 and absolutely love it here for the past year. The Villages are amazing, we still pinch ourselves too....
Keep your videos just as they are please, giving your opinions and your personal experiences. That's why we all watch your videos, to hear your take on everything in and around The Villages. I agree with you Linda, the restrooms in each of the recreation centers are absolutely beautiful and clean! It's a tour in itself! LOL I've lived here 5 years and have never seen a rat, just one palmetto bug in the garage and it was dead. I loved the tours and I always scheduled a tour for guests when they visited because they would gain more information about The Villages than I could give them.....and Jerry, "Unhappily living in my parent’s basement." 🤣😂🤣 ❤
I like to occasionally hang out at the local nudist camps in Tampa. Its a great place for couples to air out their differences.
😆😆😆🥰🥰🥰Gizmo! Many thanks for sharing such valuable information 🤩😎😘.
Great show today! And I LOVED your reply to “unhappily living in his parents’ basement”!!! Spot on! 🤗👍😍 Trolls are sad people … but you handled it perfectly!!!! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS and Gizmo!! 💗❣️
For the nudists: there are about a dozen nudists camps, clubs, etc in florida. Just Google nude beaches in florida. Brevard, Hudson, pasco counties have some. Land-o-lakes apparently has a big one. The villages might not be the place for you. Check out retirement places near the nudist camp. Or find the closest nude beach to the villages.
@Edwina Hughes - How come you know so much about nude Florida beaches ?
@@johnmayerislovee That is an arrogant and self-righteous question . . . grow-up
@Dale Divine are you serious or pulling my leg? There are gobs of minors living in the Villages. Living with grandparents, adult children living with parents with their minor kids. They are all over the place in the summer with the camps that are offered. Parents renting with minor kids. Please use your brain and check for yourself.
@Dale Divine I don't actually know much about the Villages. Other UA-cam people have talked about it. Letters to the editor have complained. It may be against the rules, or code or whatever but if no one complains.....
With caps lock I think I've determined you are pulling my leg and know everything I have said is true.
Bless your heart.
@@edwinahughes9052 A lady of almost 70 years of age, in my opinion, should not be participating in a nudist community. Just seems kind of gross.
Hi Guys. I hope I didn't cause to big of a stir. Thanks for taking my question.
Let's define critic. One who engages often professionally in the analysis, evaluation, or appreciation of works of art or artistic performances.
Siskel and Ebert were movie critics. They gave mostly positive reviews.
My critique of The Villages Newcomers. 2 Thumbs up.
Let The Giz know so he doesn't growl at me.
Love you " GUYS"
Thanks, YTC!😁😁😁
You guys are funny 😄 and I mean of all 3. Sure like you very informative and farcical way to discuss about the Villages. Way to go. Don't change you format, keep your idiosyncratic approach.
Palmetto bugs were what we occasionally encountered in Florida Jacksonville. We moved there from Vermont. Shock was when I saw that could fly. It was an older home but we had pest services every week.
And now we live in Houston. Palmetto bugs a fact of life. Occasionally one makes it into the house. Usually half dead. We use Borax. Sprinkle under the sink. Works pretty well and no toxic chemicals. But no hesitation if I need to spray a fast one.
Main thing is removing dirty dishes.and clean counters.
Love your videos! My pup moans like Gizmo when she does not have her favorite toy which is a stuffed duck. What is Gizmo's favorite toy?
Hope Gizmo is ok. He seems unusually needy this morning. Perhaps he just wants a treat. Love all your videos!
He definitely was restless. Maybe he wanted more treats or needed to go out. Cute as a button though. :)
Thank you. Enjoyed your videos. Love Gizmo too!
Looks like Gizmo was wanting some cuddles and treats this morning! :) BTW I ran into palmetto bugs both in basic training Ft McClellan (Anniston) AL and Dallas, TX - not a palm tree within 100 miles of either place!
Love love you guys. Appreciate your positive attitude and the fact that you don't dwell on negative things 💯 percent is a bonus in my book. However, Jerry you seemed "a little down " today. But hey were all entitled once in awhile. ❤
Love Gizmo's jokes! And, MBM! TY.
I was ejected from my brother’s early Porsche over 40 years ago. The car predated seat belts. We’d just come from visiting our dying grandfather in the hospital. My brother announced, “Let me show you what this car can do.” He was doing over 60 going into the tight corkscrew turn, hit the gravel, and he overcorrected, sending the car into a spin. Thank God I took the impact mostly with my shoulder blade, rolled up the earth bank, then rolled back down into the road. My brother ran to me, screaming my name. Thank God I lived. To this day, I insist on being my own driver, and won’t even turn the car on until I hear seatbelt clicks from every passenger. Those who don’t use seatbelts just because they don’t like them underestimate the power of physics and overestimate their ability to avoid accidents.
Wow! What a story!
Best medical care I’ve ever had! Broward County!
Jerry, I nominate you as The Villages Mayor. Let's get campaign started!
But, but what about Don Wiley of Goldwingnut fame...Jerry and Don should have a runoff..
Ok, one can be Mayor and the other Vice Mayor 😁
Love the restroom tour.I am like a little kid now everywhere I go I have to find a bathroom. I also rate the bathrooms, some are a definite 1 then there are the 10’s luxury where you could have a party in the facility. LOLOL.
Another great video guys thanks!🙏❤️🇺🇸
You guys are the best
Perhaps, a small perhaps, The Villages will establish one of their future village expansions as a 55+ & Nudist Acceptable village. It'll sell, I have no idea why, but the Village of Bare Palms would sell out.
I have lived in a Class A RV in Naples in two different RV parks .... both had alm rats. In one, where lots alone sell for $100-$400k, an RV worth well over $200k caught on fire because a palm rat ate cables and shorted the batteries. The RV was a total loss. In the RV park where we live now in our double-wide manufactured home.... many homes have both palm rats and palmetto bugs (cockroaches). We had cockroaches in ours, which is worth better than $300k. We finally figured out they were getting in through a vent in a bathroom ceiling and a pocket door. We taped both of these with heavy white 3 inch wide tape. No more palmetto bugs in 2 years. Facts.
My point: both of these pests exist. Both can be eliminated, but with difficulty. We never have had palm rats, but a next door neighbor has. I cut down 2 small palm trees to avoid this problem in the future.
The restrooms tour was above and beyond! My mother used to call me the bathroom inspector when I was a little girl. I guess I was preparing for my current phase of my life!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I loved your bathroom tour as that is a huge concern for me as well
