[@rmkofmd1398]

I'm predicting bad things ahead for that 22 year-old man who punched his grandmother in the mouth for not giving him money.

[@scottcammack8339]

Most of the problems we have with the younger generations, lead directly back to not having an appropriate home with a father who cares a mother who cares. The apple does not fall far from the tree was what they used to say but nowadays, the way parents are not doing their job. They might as well not even be a tree.

[@carolapostolos8929]

I agree Skip. That huge oak tree should not be destroyed. What a shame if they cut it down.

[@DianaLynne-27]

Watch you all the time. Loved the shorts and porch sitting too. Appreciate you and Sue. Thankyou👍

[@TheVillagesSkipSmith]

Thanks Angel 😇

[@stevenr732]

Great job, Skip, as always, not the news you want to know the news you need to know

[@TheVillagesSkipSmith]

Thanks Steven 😊

[@kara2251]

Save the trees! Put the pool and rec center somewhere else. I can’t believe that anyone would consider cutting down such a tree!

[@JohnHoganN8]

Great work Skip! Interesting times! I got 15 holes in one last week but I forgot to let you know. 🤥 …I am also a compulsive liar. 😂

[@TheVillagesSkipSmith]

Oh wow!

[@jamesgetz7101]

I’m wondering what the hell do you pay HOA fees for? I thought the Villages was a 55 and older community? Throwing tomatoes ? Playing “This is my Rifle, This is my Gun” in the back of a police cruiser? I think if you’re arrested in The Villages , and you’re not 55 years old or the spouse of someone of age who lives there, an extra fine should be mandatory. WTH are you paying HOA’s for?

[@TheVillagesSkipSmith]

I understand your frustration James, let me say first we don't pay HOA fees. We are governed by District Rules...We are a 55 plus community but that rule isn't what you think it is.. Same as we are a community of gates not a gated community. Sue and I try to show different points of living here. I've done video on both

[@jamesgetz7101]

I had planned to move to TV when I turned 65. But since 2020 I’m not sure. Keep up the videos Skip, I do enjoy listening

[@scottcammack8339]

For a community of almost 150,000 none of this stuff sounds very much like a big deal to me People seem surprised to find out that 40-year-olds who find a 70-year-old sugar, daddy end up getting into a physical altercation or that believe it or not people who drink too much and did so their whole career are getting old and now the alcohol affects them even more than normal.

[@TheVillagesSkipSmith]

You are correct Scott

[@sailordude2094]

Lots of excitement in the Villages! Glad I live outside, lol. Thanks for the news Skip, hope I never do a mugshot and end up on your show!

[@TheVillagesSkipSmith]

Don't worry 😉

[@williambyrnes9742]

The Villages have gone to hell😊

[@TheVillagesSkipSmith]

It's got some problems but it's still a good place to live

[@godsservant1183]

This was a very good show. Your commentary on the value of the tree was powerful. In addition your thoughts concerning the disrespect the youngster displayed towards his grandma was on spot. It was unbelievably sad and his behavior is merely a microcosm of societal breakdown here in the USA and abroad. Finally I think it was a wise decision to add the “police video.” Its another avenue that cements the validly of your report. Of course these shows demand much of your time so I applaud your persistence.

[@retiringtothevillagesflori197]

the gate card is a farce, they just press a red button and they get in... its useless

[@VikkoActual]

I don't live in The Villages but my parents do. I visit as much as I can and do appreciate this channel. We all know that generally, everything is as best as it could be - with a small pocket of weird highlighted every video here. Cheers!

[@MissyMoe28]

Great show like always!!😎

[@TheVillagesSkipSmith]

Thanks Missy

[@Frank-vf7mq]

I agree with saving the Oak trees the Oak trees are part of the ecosystem of the Villages. Wildlife habitat.

[@johntamulonis4626]

Great job Skip! Thanks. Love your sense of humour.

[@davidwilliams9888]

Thanks for the news.

[@Knowledge-b6o]

OMG THE VILLAGES IS FAR TOO DANGEROUS FOR US!! NO THANKS!!!!!

[@VernitaStone-ui6qs]

The only one telling the truth about the news in the village! When we were there the bar stools were full before lunch and the same folks were sitting there drinking at dinner.

[@joanklag2640]

Thanks Skip!

[@carolmadigan3250]

Thanks for the news as always Skip I hope you have a good week

[@scottcammack8339]

Yes, I paid $25. He cloned my card put the little chip on the interior of my mirror so when I drove up to the gate, it would open $25 I ever spent. We all pay money for convenience and yes, it was well worth it and once the new cards come out and he can re-clone those I’ll do the same again.

[@Austongold]

Why does all this sound like life back in the fourth grade,? That is pretty sobering to me.

[@TheVillagesSkipSmith]

Some have never grown up and problems with alcohol, drugs ...

[@fft57d]

A misdemeanor??!!

I don't think so..

It looks to me like the courses have been mowed too short. I’m no expert, but I see this all the time with lawns.
