I think you both actually look younger now than you did when you started the videos .. great videos Thank you

[@user-vc4zi9mc5s]

My grandfather came in one day when he was 87 and said, I almost had an accident. I'm done. He threw his keys on the counter and that was that. He never drove again. He lived to be 99. But never regretted stopping. My dad dropped out of driving at 82. And I plan to stop when I can't see or react well enough to drive. But I know some people really fight quitting driving. I'm glad my family was a little different.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

It will be difficult. You lose a big part of your independence.

[@stephannielyman7704]

Love the bloopers. Always a good laugh😂😂😂😂

[@janemuir3546]

Tree frog story: we had a house and pet sitter at our home for a week one summer. She was awakened by a loud noise in the living room/kitchen at 2 am. Her dad came and looked in EVERY nook and cranny in our home. FOUR days after we got home we found it in the KitchenAid mixing bowl. That eco was LOUD. And it didn't sound like a tree frog.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

[@dustyreynolds4225]

The Oklahoma lady was not afraid of bugs. She had her garden in the video. Bugs are a good indication of a healthy ecosystem. I live in Louisiana and I'm trying my best to appreciate bugs! Thank you for taking the time to share and make these videos

GOD BLESS YOUR YANKEE DOODLE DANDY! How wonderful! Congratulations!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thank you so much!

[@seaglasscolor]

Please, families, if you think your mom or dad should no longer be driving, have that difficult conversation with them about letting go of the car keys. In our case, we enlisted the help of a doctor and an uncle to convey this news. Now I am 67 and expect my children to do the same for me if/when the time comes.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Yes, but you have plenty of time to change your mind.😝

[@debradurso524]

Lol😂The alligator! You guys are great and so very personable. Thank you for so much enjoyment. PS your home looks lovely 😊❤

Hello from Louisiana. Congratulations on the new grandbaby. I love sweet and salty, it amazes me how rude people can be but I love Jerry's comebacks to the comments. Keep them coming.

[@murrayhaven]

Nothing better than a ‘mater sammich in the summertime! Here in Grainger County, TN we are famous for our tomatoes. Love your show J & L & G! ❤

[@lauramoore7337]

Gizmo is a handsome looking dog!

[@MomsCoffee2]

We're in a 55+ in Calf. We needed our all our furniture and belongings delivered and stored in the Garage as our home we were selling closed quickly....Before Escrow closed on the new home and while we had the interior painted (after closing) Realtors here have a Rent Contract for this exact situation to pay daily rent (original owner decided the amount) to store everything in the garage till Escrow Closed. The owner agreed, $40 per day. Escrow ended up closing Early, it all worked out great! I always watch to the end, I love seeing Gizmo's segment 🐾💕

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thank you! Glad it worked out.

[@Mary-nx3rb]

Yes please keep the Sweet & Salty segment, I love them!

[@juliedavidson5596]

🙂🙂🙂

[@shilohwoods4516]

Beautiful Wonderful Gorgeous Grandbaby! You are so incredibly blessed!!! Congratulations! IMHO, the two of you look so much better since living in the villages. Not that you looked tired before but now we can see you have a nice glow of sunshine on your skin, you bodies look more hydrated, your muscle tone looks more firm=overall more healthy look to you both. I personally like the "Sweet and Salty" segment because it gives us all of an attitude check. As my mother used to say, "If you dont have any thing nice to say, dont say it at all." Some people need to be reminded of that but also those of us who do have a positive attitude need to respectfully teach others how to be positive and stay positive. Being kind is a choice each of us have to make in our lives. Our enemies are NOT of flesh and blood, rather the principalities of the air. Give that new grandbaby many kisses and hugs from all of us, in fact give all of your beautiful grandkids many kisses and hugs from all your viewers. We find them beautifully and wonderfully precious. Thanks for the show!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

AWW...thanks, Shiloh!

[@cassandrakhushf2214]

The other day, here in Sugar Land, Texas where I live, I had a BAT in my bedroom flying around. It was there at 6 in the morning after my husband left for work. l called him because I couldn't get it, and he came home. We opened the door and thought he flew out. I went to work, came home, cooked, and about 10 pm when we were about to go to bed, there he was in the bedroom again flying frantically everywhere. It took us another 15 minutes of chasing him all over the house before my husband finally caught him with a net. He was released without harm.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

😲😲😲😲😲

[@222ouch]

Linda is so funny and a great actress. I am still trying to find the two vlogs with her where you are choking, and where you fell off the ladder!! Cannot find them!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Here is one... kzbin.info/www/bejne/amKnqpd9lMd3a9U

[@ebrena1876]

I won't be moving to The Villages I live in Canada but I love watching the video's on the Villages. You two are great and seem to have fun together doing it. You are not loud and or (Noxious?) Jerry, you have the voice of a DJ. Linda, you are sweet but if you need to stand up for yourself you could. You should keep Sweet and Salty because we know how to characterize the rude comments if you don't post the bad rude comments and only good you will have people saying you are biased and only say the good never any negative comments. Put them out there then maybe if the poster hears their salty comments they might think ( "Geez I was rude) You have to show the good with the bad. I love your show -from Canada.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thank you! 😁😁😁

[@ericsparks4288]

The skeeters bother Linda cause she’s sweeter 😆

Thank you! Will do!

Actually, the word about "Timothy" by The Buoys was that Timothy was one of the miners that was cannibalized by the other two miners: Joe and the singer.

[@mishloud4215]

I think you look a whole lot better now....not so pale!

Can you share with me if there are any communities where the homes are further apart, and I can't shake hands with my neighbors form my window? Thank You and God bless you both, Vincent

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

All premier home neighborhoods. They are all north of hwy44.

[@automaticsweetheart2009]

Congratulations on the new grandbaby! Adorable and the little girl too!

[@ea327]

Sure Jerry, I remember the song “Timothy”. It was about someone trapped miners. Everyone was saved except Timothy, one of the miners. Here are some of the lyrics: Hungry as hell, no food to eat And Joe said that he would sell his soul For just a piece of meat Water enough to drink for two And Joe said to me, I'll take a swig And then there's some for you Timothy, Timothy Joe was looking at you Timothy, Timothy God, what did we do I must've blacked out just 'bout then 'Cause the very next thing that I could see Was the light of the day again My stomach was full as it could be And nobody ever got around To finding Timothy.

[@kerilotta5421]

I think you look better now. ❤ Love your shows. Counting down the months you o get there😊.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thank you, Keri!

[@deborahgrace5850]

Yes, Jerry, I remember the song Timothy.

Another helpful episode. Thanks for all the information on the airport transportation options. I have the word scramble.

Yes! It's amazing. Ticks, too. Stinks to high heaven, but worth it. Store in freezer to combat smell.

I like my steaks medium rare. The temperature is 135*. I do not want to subject my pets to that temperature. That was a big factor in our buying a Court yard Villa home. Our pets can get plenty of exercise without having to get on asphalt or concrete.

[@zelmabyrn2115]

Congratulations to the birth of your grandson. Your granddaughter is beautiful, so sweet. You had me laughing at that alligator skit! Lol.. Great video!

Hello from Texas! My parents and I have been watching since around 2020. We enjoy your channel. My parents are 75 and super healthy. I am 55 (and need to get healthier!) We have lived in Florida years ago for 10 to 12 years, back in the late 80s early 90s. We are thankful to have had the Florida experience in Winter Springs, and the Orlando area. We cannot afford to live there now, or The Villages, but we travel often to visit Florida. We are debt free here in Texas, and have constantly traveled within the United States and on cruises. Thank you for your videos. We enjoy seeing Florida through your videos and the lifestyle in the villages that you live……enjoying the sunshine state through your videos ❤️ P.S. Congratulations on your newest grand baby!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thank you, Monica!

[@sandym4875]

The best show on you tube

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thank you, Albert!

[@mvero6183]

The lower poverty rate in the villages is the important statistic. It's behind the higher rates of education, which leads to more wealth. It's what allows you the ability to eat healthier food. It gives you access to better healthcare. It gives you exercise options like swimming. My husband and I worked through college but we couldn't have done it without having some family resources already that let us spend time going to college rather than working more hours to support ourselves and our families.

[@robinobrian4842]

You are truly blessed.

[@charn913]

I beg to disagree respectfully- a study just came out the Amish are the healthiest people in the United States- they don’t have a life of excess or the comforts that even the poor enjoy

[@mvero6183]

@charn913 Not sure how much their experiences and results can be compared with the rest of America's, they practically live in a different society, not to mention they have a small contained gene pool. It's an interesting point though.

[@MrGonzo4000]

Luv ya your videos been to the villages but live in the lovely Stone Creek Ocala

As "hopeful" to be future Villagers, seeing that Farmers Insurance now pulled out of Florida, we may need to rethink our retirement location. We've got about 2 years before our move so hopefully FL can figure out a better plan!

Love the alligator bit 😅

People should not worrying about the elderly driving. They should worry about my wife driving a golf cart! When we were there on our last visit. My wife never drove a golf cart. Well, she freaked out and almost ran over a kind couple. The couple was laughing at us as I tried to control the cart. I told them will not teach anyone else how to drive ! 😂

[@JaneEBuck]

I hit the garage wall in the rental. Old gas cart. I couldn’t figure out starting in reverse 😅

Great video as usual! A couple years ago I found an almost dead squirrel in my toilet. Couldn't figure how he got in till I Googled it and they sometimes fall down the vent stack on the roof. They like to chew the lead boot over the vent. So yeah get a screen cover over those vent pipes.

We got a couple of leaves from a cactus up north in Skokie, Ill. It took beautifully an spread on one side of our house. Beautiful yellow flowers bloomed and during winter and snow it laid down, as if it were dead.
