Thanks Jerry, Linda, and Gizmo for a great Q&A session!
Thank you for protecting yourself and those you come in contact by getting the vaccines!
I am not getting vaccine. I am anti-vaccine. I would not deter anyone that does..it’s a personal choice. Love watching you both ❤️
Here is another stat to notice, 22 "Likes" on this poster's post. I have never seen that many on anyone's comments on any of your video comments pages.
LOVED this video ESPECIALLY Gizmo’s Q and A. Happy early BDay Gizmo!
I love to watch Gizmo and thoroughly love your channel. Thank you for showing happiness & kindness. See ya when you get here
Thanks, Lilli!
Here's another "Thumbs Up" for getting the vaccine!!! You guys are great!!
I am a retired nurse and had my first covid shot. Second next week ! 😷
You two make Mondays better. TY.
What a nice thing to say!
Guys, I'm an RN and I'm so happy to hear you got the vaccine! BIG HUGE HAPPY YAY!!!! Boo to those who hit thumbs down.
My 84 year old mom has myasthenia gravis - which is a neurological autoimmune disease. She cannot take any vaccines ever again. Thank you so much to those who DO get the vaccine. You are helping keep my mom safe. Thank you very, very much. There are more folks out there who cannot get vaccinated do to health problems - so having most others vaccinated helps keep the virus at bay. Appreciate you all.
☺️ oh Gizmo you are so cute☺️Thank you to Jerry and Linda for letting Gizmo join in today, it is always nice to join you for the Q & A’s ! Linda your hair always looks so pretty!
I’m so happy you both got vaccinated. Yay! You both make me smile when I watch your blogs. God bless you both.
Here is another thumbs up for getting the vaccine. We did too!!! Love you guys & Gizmo
My husband got his Covid shot yesterday in Leesburg, he was in and out in 20 minutes, it was a special location for our Veterans! Zero symptoms, not even a sore arm.
A big thumbs up on your vaccinations. I love your videos and how positive you both are.
Thank you both for another helpful video! Soon Gizmo will have his own mailbag Monday!
Gizmo reminds me of my Doxy "Baron". Miss him! Thanks for voicing your thoughts Gizmo!
I was happy to see you get your Covid shots--we have received both of ours and have been back out into the world--doing actual shopping--not just short runs to get groceries. We've been out to eat (although we have been sitting outside), to Costco, Dillards, Lowe's, Petsmart ... places we didn't dare go to before. I feel like we are not only protecting ourselves, but doing our bit to protect others. Gizmo still looks like a pup! You must take great care of him.
Good work, but I hope you are masked and maintain social distancing. We still need to protect ourselves from people who chose not to get vaccinated.
Dear Ann. I never stated that the vaccine gave anyone immunity. I urged you to remain cautious.
So very glad you got your vaccine! Stay safe and thankful you are a great example!
Thanks, Rhonda!
Have both my shots more than two weeks ago so I'm "fully vacinnated" and helping protect my community.
Big thumbs up on getting vaccinated!
Linda, I agree about the covenants. When we are all on the same page it keeps the peace (which it is meant to do). We live so close together.
Thank you for Mail bag Monday. It starts my week off on a positive note. But watch out for Gizmo. Hes trying to steal your limelight! 🤣
I see an emerging super star in the making. Gizmo will soon need his own show.
I love Gizmo. A great dog
grew up in Fl. when they gave polio shots in school! Got both my Covid vaccines. Retired Navy had vaccines throughout my 21 yrs service without a problem. Ingnorance is bliss for some folks
i got my shot right after you did (i am 65). I am so happy i did. I feel so relieved and excited to get the second shot and then i am going to Disney World
My folks are 89 and 85, they moved here in 2017 to Kentucky after full-time RVing for 20 years. They, we, ALL want to go back to living freely. It’s been a long year but they, at their age, were most vulnerable. As their daughter I sure as heck didn’t want to bring illness or death to them so yes, I wear a mask to buy groceries and anytime I’m in a store. I did their shopping since March 2020. I am grateful the VA has given my Dad his vaccines and yesterday at the University of Kentucky my Mom received her first. Whew, at least I feel they have protection. I cannot personally quantify ANYTHING about covid, the state of our government, what is or isn’t a line of b.s., or anything other than the fact my family here avoided covid personally. We sacrificed but we are here a year later to complain about it, lol. We had family members in other states test positive. The fact is, we still have freedom here in the USA to choose to believe what we choose to believe. I will take that over anything, even when we as Americans don’t agree or believe the same. When I qualify, yes, I will take the vaccine. It’s a personal choice that doesn’t negatively impact anyone else on this planet.
Glad you got the shot(s). I did too. Loved the Q&A with Gizmo. Thank you!
Congratulations on getting the shot👏🙏🏻
So much fun with Gizmo! Always fun with you two :)
Great that you got your shots , I get my second shot on 3/21/21 , and will be happy to get this pandemic behind ❤️
The Gizmo segment was well done. You preserved his caustic wit, too. He has a personality. Now bring on the I love Gizmo t shirts and sweat shirts, with your brand underneath.
My favorite thing on Monday morning....another great mailbag! 💌📬 LOVE seeing all the fabulous gifts you guys receive. Jerry’s snazzy Hula Girl shirt is a Show Stopper! 🌴💚 Gizmo handled his segment like a true CZcams professional! 🦮 Have an amazing week. Best! ☀️
Thanks, Natalie! 🏝🏝🏝🏝
Very informative 👍👍👍👍
Happy early birthday Gizmo
Another great one. Up here in Canada, blizzard conditions. Sure wish I was at my place in Sunrise. We are all for the vaccine, no question about it. As soon as we get ours ( which is pretty slow coming) we are heading south. And sorry guys, Gizmo stole the show this time.
Thanks for answering my question. You answered many of the other questions I had too. I appreciate you both so much! I really enjoyed Gizmo answering questions too! 😆 I loved his expressions!
"Gizmo" steals the show! Looking at your beautiful Palm Trees, in your yard, and beautiful sun, blowing in the breeze! I have thought about moving to the Villages for years, and still here! Ughhh. Been in my house for 32 yrs! So ready for the Villages! Can Gizmo get any "Cuter" So Adorable, and Patient!
I got my first dose of vaccine on Friday, the 19th. My doctor fast tracked me. It’s awful up here. Over 80% of Minnesota vaccine is given to the twin cities. The rest of the state shares the 20% or less. So I’ve been told by my physician.
Gizmo you did an awesome job so did your pawrents🐾 👍🏼👍🏼
We see what you did there!😁😁
I loved the Gizmo segment, made me laugh on a chilly snowy Pittsburgh morning.
Good to see you guys on this cheery Monday!
Fall just means leaves to rake. Winter just means snow to shovel. Spring just means a lawn to de-thatch and fertilize. The seasons only look good on greeting cards.
Enjoyed the video and loved seeing and hearing from Gizmo!
All those answers and a telepathic dog!
😆🤣😆🤣😆
Loved the Gizmo segment!
We have lived in New England for generations, love the seasons , but as I wii be celebrating my 77th in a couple of months don't care for the dead of Winter , -12 * , I can do with out ! But in July and August ,the humidity can be just as
miserable to endure , enjoy ❤️
I got my 1st Covid shot, too. Feel fortunate it was so easy to schedule and have it administered. Love your mailbag loot ! Nancy in Mobile.
Good show! Gizmo is a star. Glad you got the vaccine; we just got our first yesterday. Will be glad to get the second dose in three weeks. We live in Del Webb in CA so it’s interesting to hear how we compare with the Villages. Look forward to your shows. 👍
I can’t believe that anyone would give you guys a thumbs down!
Your replying is like a tv show each week it is better, with added comments, I look forward to your videos 😉😉💙🤩 Oz
Awww... thanks, Liz!
Thank you, Rowena!
I guess those 42 people would rather see you get covid, unless they still think it's a hoax ... 😒 Thanks for showing us you care not only about yourselves but everyone else as well.
Glad to see you two got your COVID vaccine. Debbie and I have had both rounds of ours, as with our daughter and niece (nurses) and my sister (works in a hospital in Michigan). No third eyes or extra arms of legs, yet. I spent 25 years in the military and have been shot up with most all the things that they have vaccines for and I’m still here, what’s one more. Thanks and keep up the great work!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻cheers to both of you for getting the shot.♥️loved the segment with gizmo. 🐾♥️🐾
Good show!! Thank Y'all.. Fun place
Thanks for another informative show...love the Gizmo Q/A session...beautiful and so smart Gizmo is. As for the thumbs down...sad is the reaction I have. Will be getting first round this week ....just what needs to be done..no question. Hoping for return to international travel and hope that airlines require them to fly. Thanks again.
Hey there 🖐🏻 from Texas 😊 We had a rough few days in Texas,.....but we had a fire place and Thank Jesus,....we had no broken pipes 🙌🏻
It’s rare we have really bad ice and snow like last week. I hope we don’t have it again for many years. I enjoy you guy’s channel 😃👍🏻
We live about fifty miles east of Dallas, in a small town,....in a small home.
Texas Lady🌹
Glad you were able to stay warm. It must have been a tough week.
Great episode!
We want to live on your block!! You're neighbor friend seems like a great guy to have nearby!!!
Love Gizmo!
I LOVE GIZMO ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Such a cutie!! 😘😘😘💕💕
I love the hula shirt. The other shirt is very pretty, yes! But the hula shirt is uniquely fun and swingy. 😃
Oh no you dint... 😜
Love this video. Gizmo is great! I’m so glad you both had the vaccine. Best wishes you both (and Gizmo).
I love your channel. You are nice folks! I found it a few months ago. i went back and watched most of your videos.I cant wait to retire next year.
Bravo for Gizmo! He did an excellent job today and he is an exceptional speaker. Be well and take care you three!
“I bet you have a phone!” That was hilarious!!
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
@@JERRYANDLINDA But if everyone called themselves we wouldn't have "Mailbox Monday".
Yay Gizmo! Sorry if I chuckled..you rock😉
We literally made it through the deep freezer in Madison Indiana, Praise God tomorrow will be in the 50's 🙋♀️❤
Tell Benny Newell hello if you know him!
I got to say I always feel calm after watching you two. Thanks For the break . Brings a smile
Omg I love how she says “Whaaaat?!”
Great show... Nice to know there's quality care there as Mike looks like he's doing quite well after visiting the body shop.
Have you two always been so creative? I love the way you respond to questions...and I totally cracked up over Gizmo answering his own questions.
Thanks, Catherine. Not really, we are just winging it.😁😁
Loved hearing from Gizmo. Lol. He wanted a Big Shot name. You guys are GOOD people. I don’t even play gold and I watch you! 💙💙💙💙
Nice work, always enjoy your videos, packed with great info. Headed back for our life style visit week of 15 March. We decided to do another one since when we came last year it was the start of COVID so hopefully things will stay open this time. Thank you for what you guys do!
I love Gizmo, asleep at the end. It was an exhausting Q&A! 🤣
Gizmo looks great!
He is *such* a cutie! ♡♡
Love the energy you bring to your channel as well as the work involved in shooting, editing, producing it- I'm a new subscriber- but have already watched most of your videos.
Love your sweet doxie ,Gizmo and your even handed answers and highlights ( and draw backs ) for living in a 55 + community.
The Villages is blessed to have you as owners! I just watched the darling documentary too. Poignant.
Best to you both!

Thank you Linda. Did you know that Linda is one of the very most common names here in the Villages? We have 5 within a stone's throw of our home.
Great information and loved Gizmo's question and answer! Congrats on getting your vaccine! I can't wait to get mine.
Hi Linda and Jerry, Gizmo did a great job answering questions. If you are missing snow. I could send you plenty from my yard. I also have some lovely icicles hanging from my gutters. But we are finally starting to melt the snow in Chicagoland. So glad you got your first vaccine. My 90 year old dad got his first vaccine last week. I will breathe a sigh of relief when he gets the second vaccine on March 10. Keeping my fingers crossed I can be vaccinated by June. Thanks for all the good information. 😎
Thanks another good informative video
We have long term insurance and bought in our mid 50’s (we are in our early 60’s). We pay about $3,500 a year total for both of us. Assistant Living is $5-7,000 a month right now and that’s not a hardship I wish to put on my family down the line. We actually increased our coverage a few years back. This is insurance that has a time frame for getting (in your 50’s I believe).
Glad for you that you took the vaccine.Some episode could you give us a tour of your property inside and out. Thanks love your shows.
Gizmo completely nodding off during his turn in the spotlight, hilarious!
🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Loved "I know a guy" when you walked down the street to see your friend (Taekwondo) My dad always said that and it brought back happy memories:)
Wow! That Gizmo sure is a chatterbox!! ha ha
You two are so enjoyable to watch and so precious! Have a blessed week!
Thanks, FOE!
I thought Gizmo was going to say the "Glass Bottom Boat" was a favorite movie, and that's how he was named. Doris Day, Rod Taylor...great movie!
Good discussion. As for the beautiful birds. Sandhill cranes & an Egret we named destroyed “Iggy” destroyed screens on our sliding doors. They see their reflection. Also they were unimpressed with moving fake alligator. They stood on him to peck higher. Not that you need my advice, but you were were very wise to get your CoVid vaccines. Now you need big hats. Jeanne ( retired RN)
The Thumbs down people are not thinking straight!!! I have received both and am so happy!
Glad you both got vaccinated! Loved your new shirt, Jerry!
I loved today’s show.
You two are the cutest couple! Love your videos!
Thanks, Jill! So nice! 😀😀
Thanks Gizmo! I’m a lifelong dachshund lover and have been owned by a number of dachsies. Hope to see more of you!
I so look forward to Mailbag Monday 💕 have a great week.
Gizmo looks great for 12 years of age! Have a great week!
Great video! You both are so fun to watch! :) And the Gizmo segment, hilarious! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. I’m getting the vaccine as soon as I’m eligible.
Gizmo you look great for 12!!!
Just got my second vaccine and sitting down to have some lunch and catching up on more of your videos. What, they have mosquito trucks?? I haven't seen one of those since the 70's! Florida and Texas have a lot of things in common and mosquitos are one of them.
Yes! Several times a week it seems!
Thank you for sharing that vaccination video. Glad you're feeling ok from it. Love that Gizzie!
Oh my! I got the giggles during the Q & A with Gizmo. Thank you! Love, love your channel.
Another enjoyable video! Can you please share about your experience of dealing with humidity? Thank you.
You always get three thumbs up from us. Can't forget about our buddy Gizmo. But don't worry you two, there is no such thing as bad press! Have a great week!
That was a fun show. Happy Birthday Gizmo
Good on you both getting the COVID shot
