Hello Jerry and Linda, I always look forward to your videos but until I retire in September it's had to watch them live, please keep the videos coming looking forward to seeing you both again sometime.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Yes indeed! Don't worry, time flies.

We saw the band Zee-R at Brownwood last week. They are awesome!

Sorry I didn’t catch y’all when y’all were live. I’m thrilled I can still watch it. I do love the live shows.

I love the theme music so much! Thank you for playing the little clip! I hear that music in my head when I see y’all’s thumbnail! 😁 it’s not the show without the music! Even if just a lil clip! Thank you.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Glad you enjoy it!

In my opinion, the US infrastructure is nowhere near ready to support the electric vehicle push.

[@tonidavis1045]

AIN'T buying no stinking electric car!!😅😅

[@elainefernandez9600]

Always looking Great!!!

[@sewing1]

That is a myth that is pushed by the oil companies. But, if you don’t want an EV don’t buy one.

[@EdwardSchrock-r8i]

The US grid would have to be 16 times what it is now to handle everyone having electric cars. That's never going to happen.

I wanted to share some info on gout. To much uric acid in the blood. This is often caused by acidic foods such as tomato's. A suggestion would be to watch out for how much acidic foods you are consuming. I hope Jerry is better now and diet restrictions will help to prevent any more flare ups with gout.

[@roxanneshanley3744]

I paused your video and called and made an appointment with the dermatologist. I had put it off way too long and I thank you Linda for that little push.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Wonderful!

[@roxiejacobsen2060]

Hi you two. Just seeing this (even though Paul did) as the Thursday live streams usually hit at an inopportune time and last month was super busy. Linda i always like your hair...longer with layers is the prettiest in my opinion. It's like a crisis to find a good hair dresser and doctor! 😳 What is the reason to put sand and oil on such new roads? Citrus Grove? Really? We saw them doing it in De Luna a couple of months ago and they are relatively new also. What do you think of the fact that there are no concrete edgings on the multi-modal paths in the newer neighborhoods? We are already seeing some erosion in the Richmond area. We don't see commercials as Paul ordered '"ad-free" KZbin. That is such a beautiful box for Gizmo's ashes! Love to you all.💞

[@sewing1]

Insurance premiums are based on the experience of all policyholders in your zip code or county. So if there is an event that causes lots of claims in an area then everyone’s premiums go up.

[@annehajdu8654]

That doesn't seem fair.

[@sewing1]

@@annehajdu8654 the whole point of any insurance I’d to spread risk over a large group. Most in the group won’t make a claim. I’ve heard that some Florida homeowners without mortgages are dropping their insurance and just hoping they’ll never have a disaster.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

We live in Sumter County, away from the hurricanes and no catastrophic events here.

[@risingdaughter2348]

Just finished watching this show. In response to a viewer's question, The Villages does have 2 RV storage lots. They are north off of Rolling Acres Road & El Camino Real. There is a waiting list. The lots are nice. They are paved, ours spot is level, & we pay half of the amount that we did at a private storage lot. They are uncovered & there are no amenities available such as electricity or a dump station.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thanks for the info!

I think making a “blooper show” would be awesome. It might be something to keep for emergency use. Haha. I heard a preacher say one day to keep a sermon in your back pocket just in case you ever get asked to fill in. So this could be a fill or a regular occurrence.

Great video. I think your garbage can’t weigh more than 40 pounds. I have a huge cactus in my front yard. The ears are very heavy. When I trim it, I can only fill a brown paper waste bag a quarter full. Had 4 bags last week. Traffic changed a good bit after the Spring Breaks. Seeing less golf carts too. When you use voice text, you really need to proofread before sending. Will never have an electric car, or cart! I take a nap about 3 times in a week depending on what activity I’ve done that day. Usually not longer than 30 or 40 minutes though.

[@leilanihimmelmann9190]

Thanks for another great show! Where are most of your viewers located? USA I am assuming? Hard balance, but perhaps a time during “wake hours” for that demographic is best? Wide spread, but you may have more precise data to go by. I’m viewing you from out of country, so I catch you when I see you have a new video out. Always enjoyable. 😊👍

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

1.USA 2. Canada 3. UK

[@leilanihimmelmann9190]

According to online intelligence: If you're broadcasting from Florida and targeting the American market, you might want to consider broadcasting during times when both the East Coast and West Coast are awake. Therefore, a good window could be from 9-11 AM EST (6-8 AM PST) and in the evening from 6-9 PM EST (3-6 PM PST). This timing allows you to catch both the morning and evening crowds across the country.
