Love the Autism Show and Tell! 😻Those penny designs were soooooo cool! Part of me will miss the hand held camera aspect of Porch Coffee 😸 but i do see how the tripod is more pro level 🌈 My black Porch Coffee mug is out for delivery today!! ☘ I'll hafta rewatch today's episode once it arrives Have a great week!🌈🦄🥔
I hear what you are saying - change is hard to get used to but I hopefully things will settle soon :) I am so excited for people to get the black porch coffee mug
Good Morning and thanks for sharing. Even at 56 Show N Tell can be neat. amazing the detail of the penny art. Some things for me arent as exciting (though I can relate to the pennies and it kind of felt a touch of aztec). But even things i don't like so much can still be interesting Show and Tell. Got me in 2nd grade again lol. Memory Lane. Thanks Clare for everything you do!
Good morning Claire, Big kudos to James for the penny wall. It's a true work of art! Has a slow week as far as motivation goes, but I had a restful weekend, so hoping that leads to some much needed productivity 🔨
I want a mug to. I still watch and listen sometimes. I will order a hat to. I want to get a shirt from Taylor that says "no spoons left." I hope you are having a nice day. Stay safe. I will be back if it's ok.
@@WoodshedTheory Thank you. I enjoy the "Morning Mug club" show. I was watching every morning that you were live and I was unsubscribed to several channels by TH-cam I guess. It's nice to see you. Hope you have a beautiful day.
What a stunning penny wall James! And great new segment, Claire. I cant wait to see more! I hope your physical and mental health improve. I am also on the journey of acceptence of these things and finding ways in which i am able to improve. Have a great week everyone
Oooooh! Porch Coffee AFTER DARK! I don’t know. The tripod could mean you’ve sold out 😂 just kidding. Looks great Claire! Amazing Penny Wall! Thanks James!
Love the new Autism show and tell section. Looking forward to seeing more! My week was busy like yours Claire. I definitely needed downtime this weekend to recouperate . I will watch the purse review after I finish this video. Hope everyone has a good week!
I like the tripod. You seem very relaxed this way and that is worth a lot. Oh my gosh, love the Autism show and tell idea! That is so cool! ( I have really wanted to do the membership, by the way. It is a bit embarrassing to disclose my finances do not allow for any extras. Sigh. But, there it is. I felt like I should just say it.) If things get better and I can join someday, I would love to get over camera shyness and share a special interest vid. The penny wall is amazing, James! Have the handbag video saved and look forward to seeing it. Glad for all you are doing. Really seems to be a positive for you! My week has been up and down emotionally speaking but seeing this today has definitely been a boost. Blessings on your week, friend. ❤
NONONO! Please never feel embarresed about not having much money! One should be embaressed for doing something hurtful and evil, but not about not owning something! I was poor the most time of my adult life but refused to feel embaressed for that and told my son so as a single-mum. It was very important for me to explain this to my son. I grew up in higher middleclass and most of my friends always earned a lot with finished studies, owned houses, etc. But I ran away from home early and then later became unplanned alone pregnant not finished my study and he was that ADHD-boy that was thrown out of kindergardens and schools so I never was able to go on studying later. I worked with homeless people and refugees (my dad was one hisself) and the worth of a human (or other animals)for me is clearly not measurable on their social status. I am sure You wouldn´t judge someone else for not having a lot of money or a poolhouse or a car or whatever. You wouldn´t even think of it. So PLEASE don´t think others should do on You! I now finally got a heritage some months ago but still for example don´t own a creditcard, which sadly is needed to pay anything on YT or to buy a mug (or some as I wanted). Seems to be quite normal in the US to have creditcards, in Germany it´s not, most people I know even with good incomes don´t because it just costs extra-money and we have this free EC-card with every account that has a MAESTRO-function to pay with in other countries. But they can´t be used online, for what we have other options like to give permission to take from our account, pay before, pay after invoice or PayPal. I am sorry I can´t give money for creators who don´t use PayPal or patreon, but I don´t feel embarresed not owning a credit card yet (with no income the free credit cards are not available, no matter how much money You OWN and I refuse to pay one my bank offers where I have to pay extra money to spend money, that makes no sense to me. I know it is told us in capitalism and I guess even more in the calvinistic-protestant US that You have to be "successful", but I don´t believe in a God that measures that way. I am sure they just loves honest, nice, kind people. And I don´t mind if You believe in a god or not, that´s also fine. Have a wonderful week and try (I know with other things it can be hard and a lifelong struggle) to be proud of the person You are, Marisa🤗
@@katzenbekloppt_mf Thank you so much for your kind words! I was a single mom for a lot of years myself before remarrying. Mine is a case of we do what we can with my husband's income but my physical condition has made work near to impossible for me right now. However, I do not qualify for U.S. disability money, unfortunately. That is interesting about credit cards in Germany. I did not know that. We do not do credit cards by choice ourselves. We have chosen to be very careful with the little we have and minimize what we owe. And yes, very much believe in God! He is the one who has kept and sustained me all these years. I know I should not be embarrased-it is kind of a default response for me I am still working to shake. I have never had much and, yes, a lot of Americans can certainly overemphasize financial success! It frustrates me a lot. Our value does not rest in our bank accounts or posessions. I wish more could see that. Thank you again. This is a lovely and most helpful encouragement to me!
Hi Marisa, I completely understand. I am happy to have you here in the comments for porch coffee and other videos. You are always so welcoming and supportive, thank you for that.
That penny wall is sooooooo cool!!!!! Excellent first choice for Show & Tell! The new black Porch Coffee mug is the sh*t! And it makes me wish for a Porch Coffee patch that I could sew on my backpack…could that ever be an option????????? Ordering a sticker now for my water bottle…
@@WoodshedTheory I'd go for a straight up copy of the Porch Coffee logo and/or the imposter logo maybe offer different colors if the vendor does them????
@@WoodshedTheory The third eye image would be excellent too but maybe wouldn't work as well since I imagine it'd be hard to embroider (is that what it's called when the patch is all threads rather than printed?????)
My week last week was terrible and fantastic at the same time for the same event. I had been having some chest pain so my Dr. wanted me to go to the cath lab to see if I had any blockages. I had a blockage in my LAD (the widow maker artery) and they placed a Stent. So the good part was the fixed my blockage. The bad part was sensory overwhelm, staying in the hospital, the procedure itself and etc. Now that I am home, I am glad that's all over and my heart issue has been addressed. (Sorry if this is kind of a bummer).
wow that sounds so overwhelming, but I am glad they were able to fix the blockage before it became an issue. I hope you are able to get some good rest now.
Oh my, that´s amazing that You are able to name this a good and a bad, that would have been just horrible to me. I hate to be touched by strangers and to go to the hospital is always worst for me. Had last emergency OP (unfortunatly not first or second) february 22 (my gall bladder was inflammated and had to be removed, it was immediate pain at night and I was brought to hospital with an ambulance with noise and lights alone, I wanted to vanish and cry like a child) and needed months to mentally recover from that. So that´s a thing I feel very sorry for You! Send You the best wishes to recover🙂 My cat just went on my lap and sends some healing purring😺
I really love seeing people who are passionated about something regardless of what it might be. To see the "glow" that people have. Even if you dont share that specific interest, the passion glow alone gives you a smile.
I once got advice to ask people open ended questions about themselves, because they are an authority on that topic. It works ok in general, but ND folks are often reluctant to talk about themselves, masking and all. I LOVELOVELOVE being able to ask about something they want to tell me about!!
I LOVE the show and tell idea!! I love hearing about other people's special interests because I know it gives them joy to talk about them, and often I learned something neato. You may want to explicitly state that people who use AAC devices or various non-speech modalities are more than welcome to show and tell. Maybe even give the option of extended time (1.5 or 2 min?) to make sure there is enough time for each person to fully communicate at their own comfortable pace and format(s).
My weekend was fantastic! My son plays in a band that just got signed to a record label and they have a single coming out soon. They've been playing all over Michigan, live and I got to finally see them for the first time on Saturday! It was in the middle of the day and an outside venue , so it made it so much easier for me to keep my space from other people and not get overwhelmed!
Jaymes! That is so cool! Thank you for sharing! 👏❤️😍 I'm glad you had a good well, Claire! This week is my son's last week of summer school. Looking forward to more show and tells! Have a great week, Claire and friends! 💞
I love "Autism Show and Tell"! I'm also a Penny collector. I've been "hoarding" US copper pennies for years (anything before 1982). In 1982 they started using Zinc. I mean really! A Penny is supposed to be made of copper. I've finally started organizing them. I get a huge dopamine hit when I find a copper penny out in circulation.
Fiber arts, guinea pigs, and general art. 😅 oh and Legal drama (Emily D. Baker is a wonderful ND content creator and lawyer) 💜 currently I’m obsessed with knitting but I have crocheted for 23 years and only just learned knitting 8 months ago.
Oh I love guinea pigs! Had two as a kid and my south-american dad had four and 39 hamsters when he met my german mother. You need to watch @CidDwyerOutside, he is a young australian guy who moved into a house and the people living there before left dozens of guinea-pigs in a shed without telling. He is now an excellent guinea-pig-dad and the videos are so calming and joyful, everyone I suggested them sad they directly subscribed. He just started a patreon and that was the first one ever I immediatly started, there he started a podcast telling how the story began and I just was able to suggest a guineapigs name🥰 I so much love it! I am a catmum now for decades (and of cause my dad also brought me my first childhoodcat more then 40 years ago, he was the best😊), but still love piggies and a lot of other animals. To be honest they are my special interest, animals and their behaviour.
@@WoodshedTheory if you haven’t learned continental, I highly recommend! Holding your yarn the same and when you crochet really helps, I’ve been crocheting for over 20 years and I tried and tried and never figured out knitting until December. I also basically ignore regular cast ons and do a crochet cast on and find it a lot easier to get started and not fuck up the first row.
My first porch coffee actually on a Monday morning! AND I EVEN HAVE COFFEE. Woo! Also I subscribed. Thanks for all you do. WOAH: A tripod and a new segment on my first official Monday morning porch coffee? So spoiled.
As some of you have noticed I haven’t been around for a couple of weeks. I was battling a migraine (multiple attacks in succession)whilst also battling a depression. In the past I would have gone into a depression spiral for a couple of months. But since my diagnosis I’ve had therapy and wouldn’t you know it that stuff actually works. Which is also why there isn’t much to say about my week. I mostly spend it trying to feel beter physically. I love the new Show and Tell segment. I haven’t send in a video yet. I have to make a choice out of my special interests(I have several), which would be interesting for others to see. I also have quite a few interesting collections. As soon as I figure it out I’ll send in a video. Have a good week Claire and friends.
Oh dear, both is horrible, migranes and depressions. That´s a lot... I am sorry You have to deal with that and really hope it´s getting better🙂 And I think as there are not hundreds of channelmembers You can send in a video from time to time until You showed all, hm? Have the best possible week!
As much as my autistic brain wanted to rebel against the change in porch coffee routine, with adding in the show and tell, I absolutely love it, and that penny mosaic is amazing!!! my latest obsession/special interests are snakes (especially hognoses), isopods and tarantulas…I’m not sure people want to see that special interest? But I’d be more than happy to send a submission! I have a lot of special interests (including cats and turtles, which I also could show off), the creepy crawly slithery friends are just my newest.
I know it's a big change, but I hope that over the weeks it will be something everyone will look forward to - also YES please send a video of your interests that sounds so cool
Oh, ähm, glad to hear I am not the only person feeling a little change-panic😂 And snakes are wonderful, but I have a sever arachnophobia, And don´t know what isopods mean in german, but if it has a lot of legs chances are high I will not like them. As a vegan I don´t want to fear them, but You know, a phobia is not chosen thing and as I know how it is treated I refuse to do of cause😂. I love snakes, mice, rats, just spiders and many insects let me shiver, I can get panic that makes me cry, run out of house with no key etc. (and giant sea-spider-crabs, can´t visit Australia😱). So @Clare: please place a trigger-warning written on the title and tell in the beginning if You show that so I then can skip that episode. Because I think if it´s Your interest and many others like it too it should be shown.
Thanks for the video and sharing with us. This weeks been rough for me, been battling Covid and watching my routine go up in smoke has been very stressful. Also had a big rift happen to some very close friends that I’m not used to dealing with. I’m supposed to be on vacation this week at least, but honestly I’d like to get back in my routine first, if that makes sense? Sorry this is a bit rambly.
Not rambly at all! I am sorry you are going through covid - it really wrecks a schedule so what you are saying makes sense to me - hopefully things improve soon
Such an awesome idea to have the show and tell segment! That penny wall is amazing and so creative! I enjoy seeing people's special interests. In my world this week, I am watching Porch Coffee from a privatel hotel balcony on a relaxing family vacation. 😊
Awesome Porch Coffee!! I love the show and tell segment!! Wow... James, those coin walls are absolutely beautiful. Amazing patterns and I love the way the light reflections shine around the room. Have a great week everyone!! ✨
I try to watch the entirety of the outro with the music as well! And of course, leaving a comment because the algorithm really eats that up hahaha I think I will miss the handheld camera, but I also understand the change. It felt more old school internet blog and that was pretty reminiscent 😁
I understand it is a change which means getting used to the change - but I am also excited for the shakiness of the camera to go away while I am editing lol
@@WoodshedTheory not all change is bad 😁 but we are who we are hahahaha I know that I will ultimately like it and I'm glad you are willing and able to change as needed for the channel!
Thank you, Claire! It’s wonderful to see the changes you’ve developed. What a fantastic Porch Coffee this week! So many wonderful things, tripod, mug, and your new segment Autistic Show and Tell! 💜💜💜💜💜💜 I loved all of it. I love that you’re sharing people’s interests and passions. James was awesome. He has an amazing interest. Keep looking forward to the future! Have a wonderful week!!
Sounds like you've had a well deserved positive week. 🎉The tripod makes a noticeable difference and I love, love, love the Show and Tell segment. 💕 This week, I have Covid (for the first time). Not feeling bad - mostly tired (so pretty normal really). Not smelling anything, without having a blocked nose, is very strange.
My boyfriend is on a plane back home tongue after spending a week with me. My puppy may be sadder than me right now. Definitely needed this friendly cuppa ❤
Your voice is so soothing Claire, I really enjoy porch coffee 😊 I also really enjoyed the show and tell segment. What a great idea! James's penny wall is awesome!!!
One thing I find hard about with regards to sharing my interests is that typically people find it either boring or a bit somber (if thats the right word) or it's not a big one like Taylor Swift or Star wars. For example I'm really into ww1 history but some people find it a bit 'depressing' to listen to. Also some games I really like I quite like thinking about the gun stats or weapon mechanics, Map design etc and in my head when I think about it I have a great time but often people don't wanna hear that and it's not something thats popular. Anyway it doesn't get me down too much and i like writing about those interests. I hope I made sense. I also dont have many 'collectibles' of my interests so I dont show people much of it I just tell them. Sorry if this is a bit rambly and if it doesnt make sense in some places.
It made perfect sense to me. I also have interests that aren’t easily “shareable” in video format. Also, your interests sound interesting to me, if you ever want to write about them. I love reading about ww1 and level/map/game design.
Makes absolutly sense! I am not interested in those topics itself, but the good thing is if someone tells about their special interest it mostly gets exiting no matter if it´s a topic I would be interested in before. It´s the special-interest-magic😉
Hi Mikey, i think i understand what you are saying, it makes sense to me. Thank you for sharing, it wasn't rambly at all. Hopefully as we do more segments we can all be inspired on ways to share different subjects in a video format.
I love show and tell! Such a fantastic idea! Kind of reminds me of my favorite segments of Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood, where they would go on tours of factories and such. Lol! Can’t wait to see the next one! 😊
Wow those pennies murals are amazing! I got hit by a car this weekend, I’m ok-ish, with back pain. Thank you for being there with your videos Claire, it’s a nice distraction and company.
Love autism show & tell!! Such a cool idea! We went to drum at Lakenheath this weekend, in support of the Peace Camp opposing the return of nuclear weapons to the US airbase there. It was good to get out & make some noise 🥁
@@WoodshedTheory We practice very other week & get out on protests whenever we can. We're an Extinction Rebellion (XR) band, so we've done some really big protests in London as well as lots of smaller local ones. It's very stimmy playing together - I play bass/ low surdo. Sorry for the infodump 🤣
Love those drummers on protests, we have them here in Germany too (live in Berlin where there are demonstrations every day I guess and all the big german ones). Cool You do, I am impressed and bow and lift my imaginary had✊✌
Hey Claire, was lovely to catch up with you today, thanks for keeping company while I got on with the washing up... I am preparing for the youngest to have his last day of school tomorrow. I loved the new segment on people's special interests, I also did look at your shop last week and noticed the black mug, it looks nice and I was thinking it would make an excellent paint brushes or pencil pot as well... it could have many other uses. 😊
Thank you for using a tripod! Not only is it a much more professional look (without much extra effort), but many neurodivergent people have vision problems that make watching unsteady camera work difficult. It used to make me quite nauseated until I went through vision therapy a couple of years ago.
I am glad it is helpful for you and others. I know it is a change so it will take some getting used to for others who really like me holding the camera.
Re: sponsorships/endorsements/reviews, it would be nice to see reviewers choosing things that specifically help to improve autistic lives, e.g. solar power-generating devices that reduce grid-dependent energy use (because we're often underemployed and any energy cost savings therefore supports our financial autonomy); bicycles (low-cost transportation autonomy); indoor/porch gardening (food autonomy), etc. That said, the show-and-tell segment is a great idea, something good for the whole community. 👍👍
Hi! I completely agree and see what you mean, I haven't been approached but any companies like that but hopefully I will be in the future. Thanks for liking the new segment.
Hola Claire and Porchies! My week was unplanned succesful, I did much more then I planned to do and now I have to wait for some results. And I am not so patient😅. Two changes a week is A LOT for us, Claire, how dare You🤣 Those penniewalls are in a best was crazy, like it. Amazing designs! I don´t know yet how I like the videos IN Porchcoffee (now not-ironic: it´s a change, it was surprising, guess I get used to it if I watch some more😉), but in general that´s a very cool idea. You mentioned a night-show...THAT would be sooo cool! So on mondays Porch Coffee and then a (monthly?) Friday-Night-Special with music, discoball, glitter and memes to have the kind of party we love🤩 The last PC was the first time I was a bit disturbed that the video was a little wobbely, but I thought You didn´t use a tripod or something else only that time, so I think You did quite well before. Have a wonderful week all, see You - latest - next Monday👋
Very interesting new segment. The Penny Wall is amazing. 😅 I'm poor and don't want to give my money to TH-cam . (Shingles are falling off my roof... and contractors aren't answering me... and my patio door broke on Friday and I might need to get that replaced... 😭 ) I don't have any special interests worth sharing anyway. I tend to get obsessed with my own story characters, or anime series, or stuff that's not so shareable. It seems to be random information and stuff in my head... nothing important or useful. Yay for the temperature going down and it not being too hot. It was a very nice bag in the sponsorship. I do need a new bag... just can't afford on.
I LOVE the show and tell idea!! I love hearing about other people's special interests because I know it gives them joy to talk about them, and often I learned something neato. You mentioned having people limit it to one minute. Since we're so good at infodumping and you have to show and edit stuff, that does make sense. But: You may want to explicitly state that people who who need more than one minute to get out the same amount of information than you do in one minute are welcome to use a little more time. They might use AAC devices, various non-speech modalities, or just have a normal speaking tempo that's slower than average. To be sure there is enough time for each person to fully communicate at their own comfortable pace and format(s).
Not sure what to make of the new segment - because - change. I'm much better with it than I was though. Black mug is cool. Today I gave the go ahead for more surgery, this time to remove the bowel tumour. It will be robotically done (most likely). This could be as soon as the start of August but may be into September. I've been trying to ensure that the hospital stay is not so traumatic this time and they do seem to be listening. Consequently I had my 1st (ever) counselling session last Monday with a psychotherapist (& yes snot was involved). She told me about 1/2 way through she believed she is ND too. I'd had her sussed way before that. I did feel at ease with her. She certainly seem to know her stuff on all the topics I covered inc. the dissociation. Hopefully some good will come of it and some arrangements put in place to help me deal with my hospital stay. Next appointment is next Monday. Finished setting up my replacement multigym today too. The old one was literally falling to bits. This one has hardly been used is much more sturdy does a bit & has nearly 3x the weights. looking forward to training at home again. (I'm still buying Daleks.)
I know that the change thing is tough - thanks for being patient! Thank you for the update on your surgery, you are really brave to be going through all of this and to going through therapy as well. Congrats on the new multigym (and daleks)
You make me think of a segment in hitch hikers guide to the galaxy. I read it in 1980s and instead of picking up book and re-reading this portion I am relying on my ancient brain. So this is based on what I recall and may actually be from a totally different book or time or place. This lorry driver is followed by a little rain cloud who loves him. He is unknowingly a rain god. Therefore he only ever experiences rain and just pretends to know what experiencing sunshine is like. Great masking energy when doing this I'm sure. He is a bit of a downer to all he meets. You are the antithesis of him. In that despite how you may feel you seem to be followed by a little sun with only the occassional cloud to water your plants. And watching you provides a little sunshine. No masking required. As far as your bag video I have not watched. I am a hiking backpack of various sizes or pockets kind of guy. Then I remembered I had a wife. I will watch or far more meaningful for your sponsor I will share with wife. If you wonder why I don't watch, love and buy one for her, I am not qualified and should not pretend to be regardless of the counted thoughts 😂. Lastly I think his name was James (or was that the lorry driver) but his penny passion has completely intimidated all 71 of my special interests. So I will not be submitting anything until I construct a life size Pyramid of Giza or something in this vein, with jenga blocks.
Loved the show and tell segment with James and the tripod 😊. Watching this from the airport (ugh) waiting to go home. Stressful week but hopefully will be a restful weekend
Show and tell is a great idea but as I can't be a member I can't share my miniatures 😢 I could send you some photos to share if you want Claire even if it's only for you...
Totally just found your channel thanks to Orion's rant (sorry Jaymes) and I watched your channel name origin video. I've seen you in other videos but never connected your channel name to the type of content you produce. You didn't ask but if it helps, you may consider a second channel for specific content and keep this one for the daily life view. Or if you're able to, adjusting or adding a subtitle to your channel name may help those searching decide to click. I also have a verbal processing delay, when on other channels, I may have missed either the name or the content description. You may consider using a formula for introducing or referencing you and your channel when you're collaborating with another channel. Something like name, content, channel name, "so for my perspective on" content, "join me on" channel name. That way someone like me gets another chance to catch whatever I missed. I usually miss the first part of what people say. You may even consider including a 5-10 second origin summary for your channel name during that kind of introduction. That video REALLY hit home and made it stick for me. New subscriber, not criticizing, just brainstorming. Don't hit me. 😁
I feel the need to apologize... I watch ALL TH-cam videos at 2x speed and still "10sec skip ahead" A LOT (when my hands aren't busy crafting)! If this hurts your TH-cam revenue, I'm truly sorry. Keep being awesome.
You know, I am not really sure how that effects things, but please continue watching at 2x speed if that is how you watch videos - no pressure to change
I see videos about hobbies and ppl that are really great at their special interests. Is there anyone who isn't? I am one that doesn't do very well at any hobby! I will try but usually just move on to the next thing. I am just not good at anything. My mind doesn't work that way. It can be very frustrating because my other family members who are neurodivergent are fabulous at most things they touch lol! Anyone identify with this?
Hi Claire, the members only perks feel kind of like people are intentionally being excluded if they can’t pay the membership and hearing about “members only” content kinda makes me feel bad. I hope that doesn’t sound rude. I realize TH-cam is a business. Just wondering if there’s a way to present members only content only to members so the rest of us don’t feel left out. I’m sure that’s an unpopular opinion. Please put a warning on videos if you will be sharing leather content for people with concerns about animal products.thanks
The penny wall is amazing!
Totally agree
Eeee! Yes!! Show and tell!! Thank you for facilitating friend-making!!
Great to have you
JAMES!! AMAZING!
right? it is so cool
I just joined mug club!!!!!!! I ordered the black mug!! So excited!!!
Yay! Thanks for your support in that way I can't wait for you to get the mug
The penny wall is so cool!!
I agree
I also love collecting penny's 💜💜Thank you!
that is so cool
Show & tell was fun 😊
Thanks Julie I was excited for it
Absolutely love the show and tell!!!
I absolutely love learning about new things from people who are passionate about their special interests!!
I'm so glad you are excited as well
Love the Autism Show and Tell! 😻Those penny designs were soooooo cool! Part of me will miss the hand held camera aspect of Porch Coffee 😸 but i do see how the tripod is more pro level 🌈 My black Porch Coffee mug is out for delivery today!! ☘ I'll hafta rewatch today's episode once it arrives Have a great week!🌈🦄🥔
I hear what you are saying - change is hard to get used to but I hopefully things will settle soon :) I am so excited for people to get the black porch coffee mug
I’m glad you had a good week! Love the new show and tell segment. Great idea 💡
Thanks for always supporting me GHill
Good Morning and thanks for sharing. Even at 56 Show N Tell can be neat. amazing the detail of the penny art. Some things for me arent as exciting (though I can relate to the pennies and it kind of felt a touch of aztec). But even things i don't like so much can still be interesting Show and Tell. Got me in 2nd grade again lol. Memory Lane. Thanks Clare for everything you do!
Yes I think seeing peoples special interests is amazing at any age - happy to have you thanks for the comment
I love it
it is pretty cool!
Amazing penny wall! everything else will have to keep up with that one now.... Cheers Claire - great idea to share special interests I love it :D
I am looking forward to see what people send in - the penny wall is awesome
omg, show & tell is an amazing idea - that Penny Wall is crazy and I love it!
The penny wall is so cool!
Oh I LOVE the new segment! James, that penny wall is amazing. And beautifully designed!
The designs were stunning - so much work and dedication.
Good morning Claire,
Big kudos to James for the penny wall. It's a true work of art!
Has a slow week as far as motivation goes, but I had a restful weekend, so hoping that leads to some much needed productivity 🔨
I hear you - I am trying to get myself motivated as well - good luck!
I made my 1000 mile 3-day road trip safely. Watching using a starlink in the middle of nowhere. The penny wall was amazing.
Glad you made it safe and that the starlink is working!
What a GREAT idea!! I love this! I think it's just what porch coffee needs to take it up a notch!! Great job on making that happen
I am grinning reading this
I want a mug to. I still watch and listen sometimes. I will order a hat to. I want to get a shirt from Taylor that says "no spoons left." I hope you are having a nice day. Stay safe. I will be back if it's ok.
Hi Thanks for your comment I hope you have a great week - hope to "see" you next week
@@WoodshedTheory Thank you. I enjoy the "Morning Mug club" show. I was watching every morning that you were live and I was unsubscribed to several channels by TH-cam I guess. It's nice to see you. Hope you have a beautiful day.
What a stunning penny wall James! And great new segment, Claire. I cant wait to see more! I hope your physical and mental health improve. I am also on the journey of acceptence of these things and finding ways in which i am able to improve. Have a great week everyone
Have a great week
Glad to see you doing better this week. Love the show & tell segment.
Thank you so much, glad to have you for coffee.
Oooooh! Porch Coffee AFTER DARK! I don’t know. The tripod could mean you’ve sold out 😂 just kidding. Looks great Claire!
Amazing Penny Wall! Thanks James!
That's me - tripod sell out :)
Love Autism Show and Tell! Will definitely remind me to check out the porch coffee each week 😁
Yay! I am excited as well to see what submissions come in
Love the new Autism show and tell section. Looking forward to seeing more! My week was busy like yours Claire. I definitely needed downtime this weekend to recouperate . I will watch the purse review after I finish this video. Hope everyone has a good week!
I'm so glad you like it - I also need to remind myself that I need downtime to recoup my energy.
@@WoodshedTheory downtime is such a good thing!
I like the tripod. You seem very relaxed this way and that is worth a lot. Oh my gosh, love the Autism show and tell idea! That is so cool! ( I have really wanted to do the membership, by the way. It is a bit embarrassing to disclose my finances do not allow for any extras. Sigh. But, there it is. I felt like I should just say it.) If things get better and I can join someday, I would love to get over camera shyness and share a special interest vid. The penny wall is amazing, James! Have the handbag video saved and look forward to seeing it. Glad for all you are doing. Really seems to be a positive for you!
My week has been up and down emotionally speaking but seeing this today has definitely been a boost. Blessings on your week, friend. ❤
NONONO! Please never feel embarresed about not having much money! One should be embaressed for doing something hurtful and evil, but not about not owning something! I was poor the most time of my adult life but refused to feel embaressed for that and told my son so as a single-mum. It was very important for me to explain this to my son. I grew up in higher middleclass and most of my friends always earned a lot with finished studies, owned houses, etc. But I ran away from home early and then later became unplanned alone pregnant not finished my study and he was that ADHD-boy that was thrown out of kindergardens and schools so I never was able to go on studying later. I worked with homeless people and refugees (my dad was one hisself) and the worth of a human (or other animals)for me is clearly not measurable on their social status. I am sure You wouldn´t judge someone else for not having a lot of money or a poolhouse or a car or whatever. You wouldn´t even think of it. So PLEASE don´t think others should do on You!
I now finally got a heritage some months ago but still for example don´t own a creditcard, which sadly is needed to pay anything on YT or to buy a mug (or some as I wanted). Seems to be quite normal in the US to have creditcards, in Germany it´s not, most people I know even with good incomes don´t because it just costs extra-money and we have this free EC-card with every account that has a MAESTRO-function to pay with in other countries. But they can´t be used online, for what we have other options like to give permission to take from our account, pay before, pay after invoice or PayPal. I am sorry I can´t give money for creators who don´t use PayPal or patreon, but I don´t feel embarresed not owning a credit card yet (with no income the free credit cards are not available, no matter how much money You OWN and I refuse to pay one my bank offers where I have to pay extra money to spend money, that makes no sense to me.
I know it is told us in capitalism and I guess even more in the calvinistic-protestant US that You have to be "successful", but I don´t believe in a God that measures that way. I am sure they just loves honest, nice, kind people. And I don´t mind if You believe in a god or not, that´s also fine.
Have a wonderful week and try (I know with other things it can be hard and a lifelong struggle) to be proud of the person You are, Marisa🤗
@@katzenbekloppt_mf Thank you so much for your kind words! I was a single mom for a lot of years myself before remarrying. Mine is a case of we do what we can with my husband's income but my physical condition has made work near to impossible for me right now. However, I do not qualify for U.S. disability money, unfortunately. That is interesting about credit cards in Germany. I did not know that. We do not do credit cards by choice ourselves. We have chosen to be very careful with the little we have and minimize what we owe. And yes, very much believe in God! He is the one who has kept and sustained me all these years. I know I should not be embarrased-it is kind of a default response for me I am still working to shake. I have never had much and, yes, a lot of Americans can certainly overemphasize financial success! It frustrates me a lot. Our value does not rest in our bank accounts or posessions. I wish more could see that. Thank you again. This is a lovely and most helpful encouragement to me!
Hi Marisa, I completely understand. I am happy to have you here in the comments for porch coffee and other videos. You are always so welcoming and supportive, thank you for that.
@@WoodshedTheory Thanks, Claire. I am happy to be here. You have fostered such a welcoming atmosphere. 🙂
@@marisa5359 oh, so happy to be able to help, instantly get tears in my eyes😏
Have the best possible week!
That penny wall is sooooooo cool!!!!! Excellent first choice for Show & Tell! The new black Porch Coffee mug is the sh*t! And it makes me wish for a Porch Coffee patch that I could sew on my backpack…could that ever be an option????????? Ordering a sticker now for my water bottle…
it can be an option! any thoughts on what the patch would be like?
'I was on the Woodshed Theory porch with my coffee' Oh dear I will be coming up with names for the rest of the evening lol. Great idea @lisabmpis :D
@@WoodshedTheory I'd go for a straight up copy of the Porch Coffee logo and/or the imposter logo maybe offer different colors if the vendor does them????
@@WoodshedTheory The third eye image would be excellent too but maybe wouldn't work as well since I imagine it'd be hard to embroider (is that what it's called when the patch is all threads rather than printed?????)
@@pipwhitefeather5768 Thanks!!!
Oh i loved this porch coffee. 🥰 ☕ James, the penny wall is *STUNNING* woooahh! Thank you for being the first shower and teller! 😮 🎉 🪙 👏🏼 ✨
Thanks for enjoying Porch Coffee
My week last week was terrible and fantastic at the same time for the same event. I had been having some chest pain so my Dr. wanted me to go to the cath lab to see if I had any blockages. I had a blockage in my LAD (the widow maker artery) and they placed a Stent. So the good part was the fixed my blockage. The bad part was sensory overwhelm, staying in the hospital, the procedure itself and etc. Now that I am home, I am glad that's all over and my heart issue has been addressed. (Sorry if this is kind of a bummer).
Thanks for sharing the reality of your week, and thanks for looking after yourself! :-) I raise my mug of decaf in salutation!
wow that sounds so overwhelming, but I am glad they were able to fix the blockage before it became an issue. I hope you are able to get some good rest now.
Oh my, that´s amazing that You are able to name this a good and a bad, that would have been just horrible to me. I hate to be touched by strangers and to go to the hospital is always worst for me. Had last emergency OP (unfortunatly not first or second) february 22 (my gall bladder was inflammated and had to be removed, it was immediate pain at night and I was brought to hospital with an ambulance with noise and lights alone, I wanted to vanish and cry like a child) and needed months to mentally recover from that. So that´s a thing I feel very sorry for You! Send You the best wishes to recover🙂 My cat just went on my lap and sends some healing purring😺
I really love seeing people who are passionated about something regardless of what it might be. To see the "glow" that people have. Even if you dont share that specific interest, the passion glow alone gives you a smile.
I once got advice to ask people open ended questions about themselves, because they are an authority on that topic. It works ok in general, but ND folks are often reluctant to talk about themselves, masking and all.
I LOVELOVELOVE being able to ask about something they want to tell me about!!
I am so glad people are liking the new segment, I think the word "glow" is a great way to put it.
I LOVE the show and tell idea!! I love hearing about other people's special interests because I know it gives them joy to talk about them, and often I learned something neato.
You may want to explicitly state that people who use AAC devices or various non-speech modalities are more than welcome to show and tell. Maybe even give the option of extended time (1.5 or 2 min?) to make sure there is enough time for each person to fully communicate at their own comfortable pace and format(s).
My weekend was fantastic! My son plays in a band that just got signed to a record label and they have a single coming out soon. They've been playing all over Michigan, live and I got to finally see them for the first time on Saturday!
It was in the middle of the day and an outside venue , so it made it so much easier for me to keep my space from other people and not get overwhelmed!
How cool is that! Congratulations to your son and his group!
I will definitely be submitting a video!! Loved the penny wall!! Love the new black cup!!
Can't wait!
Jaymes! That is so cool! Thank you for sharing! 👏❤️😍 I'm glad you had a good well, Claire! This week is my son's last week of summer school. Looking forward to more show and tells! Have a great week, Claire and friends! 💞
It is so seriously cool
Thanks whitney!
Happy Monday! Love the new segment!!! ❤
I'm so glad, happy Monday
I love "Autism Show and Tell"! I'm also a Penny collector. I've been "hoarding" US copper pennies for years (anything before 1982). In 1982 they started using Zinc. I mean really! A Penny is supposed to be made of copper. I've finally started organizing them. I get a huge dopamine hit when I find a copper penny out in circulation.
How cool is that that you also collect pennies!
Fiber arts, guinea pigs, and general art. 😅 oh and Legal drama (Emily D. Baker is a wonderful ND content creator and lawyer) 💜 currently I’m obsessed with knitting but I have crocheted for 23 years and only just learned knitting 8 months ago.
Oh I love guinea pigs! Had two as a kid and my south-american dad had four and 39 hamsters when he met my german mother. You need to watch @CidDwyerOutside, he is a young australian guy who moved into a house and the people living there before left dozens of guinea-pigs in a shed without telling. He is now an excellent guinea-pig-dad and the videos are so calming and joyful, everyone I suggested them sad they directly subscribed. He just started a patreon and that was the first one ever I immediatly started, there he started a podcast telling how the story began and I just was able to suggest a guineapigs name🥰 I so much love it! I am a catmum now for decades (and of cause my dad also brought me my first childhoodcat more then 40 years ago, he was the best😊), but still love piggies and a lot of other animals. To be honest they are my special interest, animals and their behaviour.
Sounds pretty cool to me! I want to be better at knitting but i can't get any real speed and it hurts my hands
@@WoodshedTheory if you haven’t learned continental, I highly recommend! Holding your yarn the same and when you crochet really helps, I’ve been crocheting for over 20 years and I tried and tried and never figured out knitting until December. I also basically ignore regular cast ons and do a crochet cast on and find it a lot easier to get started and not fuck up the first row.
I am so excited about this Claire! Look for one from me! 🎉
Can't wait to see!
Great new segment, love that penny wall, truly amazing!
Thanks for your support, have a great week.
So cool to se Autism show and tell back agein Claire. Thank you for shearing James🙂!
Thanks for your words of support
My first porch coffee actually on a Monday morning! AND I EVEN HAVE COFFEE. Woo! Also I subscribed. Thanks for all you do.
WOAH: A tripod and a new segment on my first official Monday morning porch coffee? So spoiled.
Welcome Aaron! I know I saw you in comments on other videos so WELCOME to porch coffee. Great to have you.
Wow that wall is amazing!!!!!! I have seen old churches that look like that stunning!!!!
yeah it is really a work of art
As some of you have noticed I haven’t been around for a couple of weeks. I was battling a migraine (multiple attacks in succession)whilst also battling a depression. In the past I would have gone into a depression spiral for a couple of months. But since my diagnosis I’ve had therapy and wouldn’t you know it that stuff actually works.
Which is also why there isn’t much to say about my week. I mostly spend it trying to feel beter physically.
I love the new Show and Tell segment. I haven’t send in a video yet. I have to make a choice out of my special interests(I have several), which would be interesting for others to see. I also have quite a few interesting collections. As soon as I figure it out I’ll send in a video.
Have a good week Claire and friends.
I hope you’re on the mend and that this week is better for you. 🤞🏼
@@ghill8587 Thank you Ghill.
Glad to hear that you are getting help MadBerry!. Hope you will have a better periode soon🙏.
@@Pjolter365 Thank you
Oh dear, both is horrible, migranes and depressions. That´s a lot... I am sorry You have to deal with that and really hope it´s getting better🙂 And I think as there are not hundreds of channelmembers You can send in a video from time to time until You showed all, hm? Have the best possible week!
What a cool idea. I enjoyed the new segment. I hope to have a quiet week this week. Have a great week, Claire and everyone!
I am glad you liked it, I know I will be looking forward to it each week
The new segment is so exciting …loved the penny wall 😍😍 very cool idea Claire 🙌🏾
Thanks for your support
As much as my autistic brain wanted to rebel against the change in porch coffee routine, with adding in the show and tell, I absolutely love it, and that penny mosaic is amazing!!! my latest obsession/special interests are snakes (especially hognoses), isopods and tarantulas…I’m not sure people want to see that special interest? But I’d be more than happy to send a submission! I have a lot of special interests (including cats and turtles, which I also could show off), the creepy crawly slithery friends are just my newest.
I know it's a big change, but I hope that over the weeks it will be something everyone will look forward to - also YES please send a video of your interests that sounds so cool
Oh, ähm, glad to hear I am not the only person feeling a little change-panic😂 And snakes are wonderful, but I have a sever arachnophobia, And don´t know what isopods mean in german, but if it has a lot of legs chances are high I will not like them. As a vegan I don´t want to fear them, but You know, a phobia is not chosen thing and as I know how it is treated I refuse to do of cause😂. I love snakes, mice, rats, just spiders and many insects let me shiver, I can get panic that makes me cry, run out of house with no key etc. (and giant sea-spider-crabs, can´t visit Australia😱). So @Clare: please place a trigger-warning written on the title and tell in the beginning if You show that so I then can skip that episode. Because I think if it´s Your interest and many others like it too it should be shown.
Thanks for the video and sharing with us. This weeks been rough for me, been battling Covid and watching my routine go up in smoke has been very stressful. Also had a big rift happen to some very close friends that I’m not used to dealing with.
I’m supposed to be on vacation this week at least, but honestly I’d like to get back in my routine first, if that makes sense?
Sorry this is a bit rambly.
Not rambly at all! I am sorry you are going through covid - it really wrecks a schedule so what you are saying makes sense to me - hopefully things improve soon
Such an awesome idea to have the show and tell segment! That penny wall is amazing and so creative! I enjoy seeing people's special interests.
In my world this week, I am watching Porch Coffee from a privatel hotel balcony on a relaxing family vacation. 😊
A private balcony sounds so cool! Please enjoy your vacation. I agree with you - the penny wall is SO cool
Awesome Porch Coffee!! I love the show and tell segment!! Wow... James, those coin walls are absolutely beautiful. Amazing patterns and I love the way the light reflections shine around the room. Have a great week everyone!! ✨
they are so super cool - a work of art, i'm so glad he shared with us
I try to watch the entirety of the outro with the music as well! And of course, leaving a comment because the algorithm really eats that up hahaha
I think I will miss the handheld camera, but I also understand the change. It felt more old school internet blog and that was pretty reminiscent 😁
I understand it is a change which means getting used to the change - but I am also excited for the shakiness of the camera to go away while I am editing lol
@@WoodshedTheory not all change is bad 😁 but we are who we are hahahaha
I know that I will ultimately like it and I'm glad you are willing and able to change as needed for the channel!
Thank you, Claire!
It’s wonderful to see the changes you’ve developed.
What a fantastic Porch Coffee this week! So many wonderful things, tripod, mug, and your new segment Autistic Show and Tell!
💜💜💜💜💜💜
I loved all of it. I love that you’re sharing people’s interests and passions. James was awesome. He has an amazing interest.
Keep looking forward to the future!
Have a wonderful week!!
Have a wonderful week, thank you for your kind words
Love the ‘Show and Tell’! What a wonderful penny wall! It’s awesome!🤩
thank you Terri - the penny wall is EPIC - i was so excited to be able to share it with everyone
That penny wall SLAPS! 🎉
it's so good
The penny wall was amazing, thank you James for sharing. Looking forward to next week! Great idea Claire 😊
The penny wall is so cool! I can't wait to see what other submissions there are.
Dude that penny wall is SIIIICK. ❤ Loved it!
Right?! It's amazing!
What an awesome way to share autistic joy! ❤
I agree, excited about it
Hi Claire! I loved the new segment. The penny wall is simply amazing and so beautiful! A wonderful work of art and very cool to see.
It is absolutely a work of art! Thanks for your support
Sounds like you've had a well deserved positive week. 🎉The tripod makes a noticeable difference and I love, love, love the Show and Tell segment. 💕 This week, I have Covid (for the first time). Not feeling bad - mostly tired (so pretty normal really). Not smelling anything, without having a blocked nose, is very strange.
sorry to hear that you are sick - i hope things get better soon
Okay the Penny Wall is SO COOL!!!!!!
100% agree it is amazing - work of art!
My boyfriend is on a plane back home tongue after spending a week with me. My puppy may be sadder than me right now. Definitely needed this friendly cuppa ❤
I remember those long distance days - hopefully they won't be forever. Happy to have you for coffee.
This is such a phenomenal idea. I am so excited.❤
hooray for tripods! and penny walls, holy crap!
Now we all need a penny wall
Your voice is so soothing Claire, I really enjoy porch coffee 😊 I also really enjoyed the show and tell segment. What a great idea! James's penny wall is awesome!!!
The penny wall is so cool!
good lord that is an impressive wall of pennies!
So Impressive!
One thing I find hard about with regards to sharing my interests is that typically people find it either boring or a bit somber (if thats the right word) or it's not a big one like Taylor Swift or Star wars. For example I'm really into ww1 history but some people find it a bit 'depressing' to listen to. Also some games I really like I quite like thinking about the gun stats or weapon mechanics, Map design etc and in my head when I think about it I have a great time but often people don't wanna hear that and it's not something thats popular. Anyway it doesn't get me down too much and i like writing about those interests. I hope I made sense. I also dont have many 'collectibles' of my interests so I dont show people much of it I just tell them. Sorry if this is a bit rambly and if it doesnt make sense in some places.
It made perfect sense to me. I also have interests that aren’t easily “shareable” in video format.
Also, your interests sound interesting to me, if you ever want to write about them. I love reading about ww1 and level/map/game design.
Makes absolutly sense! I am not interested in those topics itself, but the good thing is if someone tells about their special interest it mostly gets exiting no matter if it´s a topic I would be interested in before. It´s the special-interest-magic😉
Hi Mikey, i think i understand what you are saying, it makes sense to me. Thank you for sharing, it wasn't rambly at all. Hopefully as we do more segments we can all be inspired on ways to share different subjects in a video format.
I love show and tell! Such a fantastic idea! Kind of reminds me of my favorite segments of Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood, where they would go on tours of factories and such. Lol! Can’t wait to see the next one! 😊
I was always a big fan of Mr. Rogers
Who is Mr.Rogers? Is it a childrens program in the US? I want to know more😅
@@katzenbekloppt_mf he had a long running childrens program called mr. rogers neighborhood
O.M.Goodness, as a young'n, my special interest was collecting coins
Fun idea!!! 🎉
That is so cool
Oh my gosh! Thanks for showing my video! I like the changes to porch coffee. 👍
Hi I was so happy to share it - thank you for sending in the video.
Autism show and tell is a great idea! Those penny walls are super cool.
Thanks for your support
Wow those pennies murals are amazing!
I got hit by a car this weekend, I’m ok-ish, with back pain.
Thank you for being there with your videos Claire, it’s a nice distraction and company.
oh no! i am so sorry to hear this - i hope you are on the mend that is terrible news
🙏
Oh no, not another tripod, the martains are growing in number, the attack is soon to follow, lol.
hahahah
I LOVE the autism show and tell! I love that penny wall - wow it is beautiful!
so beautiful! i can't imagine how many hours it would take
LOVE the new segment. More please!
Absolutely
Love autism show & tell!! Such a cool idea! We went to drum at Lakenheath this weekend, in support of the Peace Camp opposing the return of nuclear weapons to the US airbase there. It was good to get out & make some noise 🥁
Oh wow that sounds interesting - do you play the drums a lot?
@@WoodshedTheory We practice very other week & get out on protests whenever we can. We're an Extinction Rebellion (XR) band, so we've done some really big protests in London as well as lots of smaller local ones. It's very stimmy playing together - I play bass/ low surdo.
Sorry for the infodump 🤣
Love those drummers on protests, we have them here in Germany too (live in Berlin where there are demonstrations every day I guess and all the big german ones). Cool You do, I am impressed and bow and lift my imaginary had✊✌
@@katzenbekloppt_mf The drums bring the energy! I've not been to a big one for a while because of burnout
@@laura.bseyoga totally understand :-)
Glad to hear that you are feeling encouraged ❤❤❤
Hey Claire, was lovely to catch up with you today, thanks for keeping company while I got on with the washing up... I am preparing for the youngest to have his last day of school tomorrow. I loved the new segment on people's special interests, I also did look at your shop last week and noticed the black mug, it looks nice and I was thinking it would make an excellent paint brushes or pencil pot as well... it could have many other uses. 😊
I am glad to help you with the washing :)
Thank you for using a tripod! Not only is it a much more professional look (without much extra effort), but many neurodivergent people have vision problems that make watching unsteady camera work difficult. It used to make me quite nauseated until I went through vision therapy a couple of years ago.
I am glad it is helpful for you and others. I know it is a change so it will take some getting used to for others who really like me holding the camera.
Re: sponsorships/endorsements/reviews, it would be nice to see reviewers choosing things that specifically help to improve autistic lives, e.g. solar power-generating devices that reduce grid-dependent energy use (because we're often underemployed and any energy cost savings therefore supports our financial autonomy); bicycles (low-cost transportation autonomy); indoor/porch gardening (food autonomy), etc.
That said, the show-and-tell segment is a great idea, something good for the whole community. 👍👍
Hi! I completely agree and see what you mean, I haven't been approached but any companies like that but hopefully I will be in the future. Thanks for liking the new segment.
Hola Claire and Porchies!
My week was unplanned succesful, I did much more then I planned to do and now I have to wait for some results. And I am not so patient😅. Two changes a week is A LOT for us, Claire, how dare You🤣 Those penniewalls are in a best was crazy, like it. Amazing designs! I don´t know yet how I like the videos IN Porchcoffee (now not-ironic: it´s a change, it was surprising, guess I get used to it if I watch some more😉), but in general that´s a very cool idea.
You mentioned a night-show...THAT would be sooo cool! So on mondays Porch Coffee and then a (monthly?) Friday-Night-Special with music, discoball, glitter and memes to have the kind of party we love🤩
The last PC was the first time I was a bit disturbed that the video was a little wobbely, but I thought You didn´t use a tripod or something else only that time, so I think You did quite well before.
Have a wonderful week all, see You - latest - next Monday👋
A monthly night show could be cool!
Very interesting new segment. The Penny Wall is amazing.
😅 I'm poor and don't want to give my money to TH-cam . (Shingles are falling off my roof... and contractors aren't answering me... and my patio door broke on Friday and I might need to get that replaced... 😭 )
I don't have any special interests worth sharing anyway. I tend to get obsessed with my own story characters, or anime series, or stuff that's not so shareable. It seems to be random information and stuff in my head... nothing important or useful.
Yay for the temperature going down and it not being too hot.
It was a very nice bag in the sponsorship. I do need a new bag... just can't afford on.
Sorry to hear about the house troubles.
@@WoodshedTheory thank you
Yaaaay theres that smile :) porch dance… ouch my coffee.
porch dance! love it
Have a positive frame is really useful I have found!!
It really is!
That is a sweet penny wall.
it's so cool!
I LOVE the show and tell idea!! I love hearing about other people's special interests because I know it gives them joy to talk about them, and often I learned something neato.
You mentioned having people limit it to one minute. Since we're so good at infodumping and you have to show and edit stuff, that does make sense. But:
You may want to explicitly state that people who who need more than one minute to get out the same amount of information than you do in one minute are welcome to use a little more time. They might use AAC devices, various non-speech modalities, or just have a normal speaking tempo that's slower than average. To be sure there is enough time for each person to fully communicate at their own comfortable pace and format(s).
Hi I think you are correct on your comments. Let me think about that as I do wish to be accommodating to our communities needs.
Not sure what to make of the new segment - because - change. I'm much better with it than I was though. Black mug is cool.
Today I gave the go ahead for more surgery, this time to remove the bowel tumour. It will be robotically done (most likely). This could be as soon as the start of August but may be into September. I've been trying to ensure that the hospital stay is not so traumatic this time and they do seem to be listening. Consequently I had my 1st (ever) counselling session last Monday with a psychotherapist (& yes snot was involved). She told me about 1/2 way through she believed she is ND too. I'd had her sussed way before that. I did feel at ease with her. She certainly seem to know her stuff on all the topics I covered inc. the dissociation. Hopefully some good will come of it and some arrangements put in place to help me deal with my hospital stay. Next appointment is next Monday.
Finished setting up my replacement multigym today too. The old one was literally falling to bits. This one has hardly been used is much more sturdy does a bit & has nearly 3x the weights. looking forward to training at home again.
(I'm still buying Daleks.)
I know that the change thing is tough - thanks for being patient! Thank you for the update on your surgery, you are really brave to be going through all of this and to going through therapy as well. Congrats on the new multigym (and daleks)
If I would make a penny wall I would make it look like pennywise just for the puns.
You make me think of a segment in hitch hikers guide to the galaxy. I read it in 1980s and instead of picking up book and re-reading this portion I am relying on my ancient brain. So this is based on what I recall and may actually be from a totally different book or time or place.
This lorry driver is followed by a little rain cloud who loves him. He is unknowingly a rain god. Therefore he only ever experiences rain and just pretends to know what experiencing sunshine is like. Great masking energy when doing this I'm sure. He is a bit of a downer to all he meets. You are the antithesis of him. In that despite how you may feel you seem to be followed by a little sun with only the occassional cloud to water your plants. And watching you provides a little sunshine. No masking required.
As far as your bag video I have not watched. I am a hiking backpack of various sizes or pockets kind of guy. Then I remembered I had a wife. I will watch or far more meaningful for your sponsor I will share with wife. If you wonder why I don't watch, love and buy one for her, I am not qualified and should not pretend to be regardless of the counted thoughts 😂.
Lastly I think his name was James (or was that the lorry driver) but his penny passion has completely intimidated all 71 of my special interests. So I will not be submitting anything until I construct a life size Pyramid of Giza or something in this vein, with jenga blocks.
Thanks for your comment David - no need to submit an entire pyramid of jenga blocks (although that does sound pretty cool)
As someone named Blake I am excited my name is on a bag!! woohoo ❤
cool!
Loved the show and tell segment with James and the tripod 😊. Watching this from the airport (ugh) waiting to go home. Stressful week but hopefully will be a restful weekend
I liked your groovy backdrop on Mikes show the other day !!
oh thanks it's a piece of sequin fabric - i figured out a way to hang it for videos - now i am deciding what backdrop i want more long term
Show and tell is a great idea but as I can't be a member I can't share my miniatures 😢 I could send you some photos to share if you want Claire even if it's only for you...
Hi Wendy, I would love to see some pictures as miniatures are are so cool
That’s a COOL penny wall!
My week was ok so far ups and downs but I wrote a new song and climbed some new trees!!
nice
Cool penny wall! I saw James on another video also!
💖
This is such a phenomenal idea. I am so excited. How do we submit our show and tell you’ll probably answer this in the video❤
Totally just found your channel thanks to Orion's rant (sorry Jaymes) and I watched your channel name origin video. I've seen you in other videos but never connected your channel name to the type of content you produce.
You didn't ask but if it helps, you may consider a second channel for specific content and keep this one for the daily life view. Or if you're able to, adjusting or adding a subtitle to your channel name may help those searching decide to click.
I also have a verbal processing delay, when on other channels, I may have missed either the name or the content description. You may consider using a formula for introducing or referencing you and your channel when you're collaborating with another channel. Something like name, content, channel name, "so for my perspective on" content, "join me on" channel name. That way someone like me gets another chance to catch whatever I missed. I usually miss the first part of what people say.
You may even consider including a 5-10 second origin summary for your channel name during that kind of introduction. That video REALLY hit home and made it stick for me.
New subscriber, not criticizing, just brainstorming. Don't hit me. 😁
welcome to the channel - thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I feel the need to apologize... I watch ALL TH-cam videos at 2x speed and still "10sec skip ahead" A LOT (when my hands aren't busy crafting)! If this hurts your TH-cam revenue, I'm truly sorry. Keep being awesome.
You know, I am not really sure how that effects things, but please continue watching at 2x speed if that is how you watch videos - no pressure to change
@@larrettamullen4023 As long as you make it to the end of the video TH-cam should count it as “having seen the whole video”.
@@madberry Thank you for the info!
I see videos about hobbies and ppl that are really great at their special interests. Is there anyone who isn't? I am one that doesn't do very well at any hobby! I will try but usually just move on to the next thing. I am just not good at anything. My mind doesn't work that way. It can be very frustrating because my other family members who are neurodivergent are fabulous at most things they touch lol!
Anyone identify with this?
I don't think you are alone - not everyone has a hobby and that is 100% ok. thank you for sharing
Hi Claire, the members only perks feel kind of like people are intentionally being excluded if they can’t pay the membership and hearing about “members only” content kinda makes me feel bad. I hope that doesn’t sound rude. I realize TH-cam is a business. Just wondering if there’s a way to present members only content only to members so the rest of us don’t feel left out. I’m sure that’s an unpopular opinion. Please put a warning on videos if you will be sharing leather content for people with concerns about animal products.thanks
Hi Jenna, thank you for bringing forward your concerns. I have noted them and will give them some thought.
Good Morning. A nice way to start a week is to have a coffee with you.
By the way great job on the handbag review.
thanks for your support
The penny wall was beautiful!
I so agree! It really is amazing
