Please do not thing of your diagnosis as a death sentance! There's life, love, and joy with dementia. Please get your affairs in order, make a POA, BUT keep livng!
The fact that you guys said you remember commenters made my heart so warm! I've been watching your channel for so long, but I never comment (on anything really) because there are so many comments already. But I never thought about how it could have a positive impact on your day to that extent! So I might just start to comment more, I have so much love to share ✨️
The part where they talked about how their lives would be different if they never met almost made me cry. They are so incredibly lucky to have found a soulmate, and I hope that one day I can find someone who loves me as much as these two love eachother.
I love the way you two interact together. You can tell that you are best friends. People that think you are fake must really be shallow. To think that people are so incapable of believing that disabled people can give and get love like anyone else, it’s just sad. I’m glad you are using your voice to stop this narrative. You are blessed to find love, because many people never do.
I sure am glad you two met each other!! I don't usually subscribe to the idea of "meant to be", but I do believe you two were meant to be together- and the world is a better place because of that. Period. ❤❤ Love you two!
@@rollingwithmoore because we have free will, I believe, and our individual choices can take us down many different paths. I do not believe we are puppets with someone pulling the strings. However, sometimes things happen that defy logic, so I keep an open mind...
Grub bag question (well, more of a request, actually....). Shane, could you please share what your school experience was like growing up? Were you in an inclusive classroom environment? Did you have a classroom paraeducator? How did your teachers accommodate your disability? What types of extracurricular activities were you involved in outside of school? Thanks!!
Question: As a health care provider, what can I do to reduce the abelism in the health care field? I think many hospitals and health care providers have an abelist point of view that interferes with patients having the best experience with doctors
I have many disabilities so from my experience clear masks masks make it hard to lip read and also harder to understand body language. People tend to listen and talk to the people I’m with more than me and I really want to feel like it’s my decision and my voice they want to hear. Having rooms that are easier for wheelchairs so it’s not super crowded or super hard to get in/out. A lot of it is really communication I have medical ptsd as well as from other things so just being kind and patient and willing to explain things in a way that’s understood and really listing to concerns I’m sure will take you far thank you for trying to make health care more accessible.
I wish more doctors would ask this. In essence the answer is treat people with disabilities as people first. See them as real people!! And advocate please for wheelchair accessible designs in hospital and doctor settings.
@@mincedmash796 no, not like that, at all. But there's likely no use talking to you about it. It seems apparent by your callous thinking and speaking that you could never love anyone who didn't fit within your physical biases. Hopefully, you never find yourself disabled and unlovable.
I did not even know ableism is a thing. I do now though, I looked it up. Since getting to know you Shane (so to speak) I have learned a great deal regarding the disability community. Thank you for opening my eyes. You truly are in educator. I laugh while I learn.
Before my mom just passed. I made it as fun as possible going out many times a week before covid . When my mom transitioned to a walker then chair I immediately noticed how hard it was to find where the ramp areas were for basic side walks at our local grocery stores and outside shops. Never realized it untill basic mobility could not involve a small step. Would really enjoy more ongoing updates and awareness in having things more accessible and what you are doing. Also what others could do to have changes made. I think it's a big area being missed that would be of great service
That's so interesting how Shane speaks about his past internalised ableism. It made me think of having a lot of internalised misogyny growing up, such as the 'I'm not like other girls' trope (as Shane said he wanted to be.. Not like 'other disabled people.') I would criticise myself and other women constantly. When you realise it's the deep (learned!) insecurities within you that are causing it, its a revelation. When you can eventually choose compassion, to connect with yourself again and others like you. Contributing to positive change > contributing to the problem. I love the honesty, thanks for that 🙌
Question for Shane: I have been living with an “invisible disability”( fibromyalgia) for 9 years and I although I still struggle a bit with mentally accepting it, my main day-to-day battle is getting others to understand I’m not faking or exaggerating my issues. I think my question is…Do you think the general public treats both visible and invisible disabilities with equal judgement? Ps… I love love love seeing how you two have grown as a couple and shared your journey. If you ever travel 8 hrs straight north to Canada I would love to share the best icecream and local beer places. 💙
The love you two share is sooo sweet! Thank you for sharing your life. It's nice to have people who understand that true love is precious. You are a cross between adorable and dorky . . . adorkable. I'm with you Shane on the UFO's and gov't. I too use a wheelchair and I appreciated the part about not wearing shoes, I am one of those people. I can walk, but I have Erythromelalgia (EM - man on fire) which makes my feet feel like they have been walking on hot coals, it is especially painful if I wear shoes or socks. I've not owned socks for 20 years and I have a pair of shoes that are covered in this dust under the bed, just in case the EM miraculously goes away.
Hannah I love the look on your face when Shane goes off the deep end in his stories. Love it. Been married for 40 years and give the same looks cuz he is full of crap as well.🤣😁
You guys love each other as much as my husband and I love each other. My husband and I have been married this year on Halloween for 24 years and love each other more and more each day if that is even possible. I loved all of your answers. I love you guys so much!!!!
If you guys could have a “Freaky Friday” body swap for one day: Hannah what experiences would you want to have in Shane’s body? And Shane, what experiences would you want in Hannah’s?
LOL!! I totally had to rewatch the "surprise" video after Hannah explained what it was. I was SOOO lost, but I was laughing hysterically when Shane described how excited she was to grab the camera.
11:36 Yay you answered my question! Thank you! I figured you might not as some people were getting negative in the responses, but you did and I'm so happy. Very fun to hear that you do learn the names/thumbnails of some people and have conversations about it, I always thought I would in your shoes but I've never been there so it's interesting to hear your perspective on it. I definitely talk to people in my life about the channels that I regularly watch, and to know that it happens on the other side too is fun because it makes it more of a community and a two-way street :) Thank you for answering my question, and for this series. Q&A were really popular back in the day and I personally enjoy them so it's fun to see a revival, and I think it fits your channel and the work you do especially well so it's a great choice I think.
Two part question. Shane, what is the best advice or saying you could give someone who is beginning to feel dejected or feeling like they just don't matter any more. 2nd. question for Hanna. What do you say to Shane to snap him back into reality whenever he is feeling down on himself or starting to have doubts. Love your videos.
I love your answers to what your lives would be without each other! Well, not the answers, but your conversation in between. Your love is a beautiful thing to see! Thank you again for sharing with us. I couldn’t imagine doing this! You guys are as beautiful as you are brave!🌹❤️🥰
I don’t have any real questions for you two. I just love watching the interaction between the two of you and I usually end the video wiping my eyes from the laughter. So thank you Shane and Hannah for a dose of joy in my life. 😀
I just LOVE you guys!!!! You are so genuine, so funny and so down to earth!!! It is always such a delight to watch you two in action, and to take part in your wonderful life together, via your channel!!! Thank you for sharing yourselves, your love and your insight with others!!!!
You know what it is… I’m about a minute and 47 seconds in fyi, I absolutely love watching Shane talk and Hannah staring into space listening to every word he has to say ..but it’s like , so Beautiful when she gets that aha moment like she knows what you’re about to say ♥️♥️ it gets me every time!! U2 are just so cute together and just have such an adoration for your love for each other!! 🥰
you both have such a wonderful way of making me feel like i’m just sitting with a couple friends when i watch your videos. thank you for the wonderful company and all the laughs 💜
Question for Shane: I'm disabled and I personally still struggle with the feeling of being a burden. And in one of your videos you mentioned that you managed to overcome/ get rid of this feeling. So my question is: How did you get there? Do you have any tips or advice? Love from Germany and happy belated birthday!
Not Shane, but I am disabled. My main mindset is that if people saw me as a burden, they wouldn't be so willing to hang out with me or help me with whatever task. The people that do see me as a burden aren't worth my time.
I've been so busy I have missed too many videos ! This. video reminded me why I enjoy watching the two of you, besides the love, the laughter and sometimes toilet humor, I just feel happy seeing you together!
I appreciate you guys, I have been made more aware of my surroundings and with that I have been able to be okay with asking for accomadations (sp?) When needed, and more mindful of others that may need it.
I absolutely LOVE that you both compromise in your beautiful and blossoming relationship! When I spent nights at my fiance's house, we were both night owls, but if I got too tired and he wanted to stay up longer, I would let him know to wake me up when he is ready to go to bed.
Questions for next Monday Grub-bag: How have you made your new wheelchair more comfortable and usable? I was under the impression you would have to go to many expensive fitting appointments to make it work better for you but that hasn't been mentioned. Obviously things happen in your life that you don't talk about on the internet and that's totally understandable, so if this is one of those things, that's fine. Just curious what changes you made to make it work better? And I know being able to reach your joystick was important to you- is that something you're able to do in this new wheelchair like you had hoped? If not, what adjustments could you make to make it work?
Shane, I totally get what you’re saying. I have been disabled from birth, but lived a “normal” life, not interacting with other disabled people until I started playing wheelchair basketball in high school. I, for some reason, was a little uncomfortable around them despite being in a wheelchair myself. It was like I disassociated myself from other disabled people.
I absolutely love u both. So honest, funny, dramatic and best of all the way u r so sweet to each other. Treating each other with respect and love. I can literally see on screen how much u love each other. I hope ur momma is good Hannah. I love Liz. The look on ur face when Shane says Lizzy brings me to tears I laugh so hard. Best of all u hardly show or talk about what POS people can be always finding the good and positive in most situations u encounter. Not easy to always do. Keep up the good work. U both rock. Much ❤️ Kris 🇨🇦🙏🙏
As there was a question about ableism, I remembered the first time I watched a video of yours and thinking that Shane was mentally disabled just because he was in a wheelchair which seems like such a dumb thing to think! Of course after three minutes of watching your video I realized how wrong I was but that’s just a sad thing in general, this embedded ableism or the lack of reflecting on my thoughts on disability. Luckily this was one year ago and since then your videos changed my perspective on disability massively which makes me very happy! One of the first things I learned from you was to remember for example talking to the person in the wheelchair themselves and not to the accompanying person, which seems like such a obvious thing now for me to do… but yeah, society taught us otherwise and I really hope that many other people will find your channel and change their minds… it’s about damn time! Anyways, thanks for the entertaining video (as always). Lots of love from Germany
It's no wonder Hannah fell in love with Shane. You are a terrific couple - a perfect match! Your outlook on life, love and the future is truly inspirational. I am always filled with such joy after watching your videos. Shane cracks me up - - - what a wonderful spirit. I pray for much happiness and long healthy lives for both of you....
I remember Shane stating that he would temporarily hire a caregiver. Hannah’s family will apparently also be happy to help as they live near each other.
I totally relate to the exercise thing! I was an athlete and dancer through college and now I have to force myself to exercise. Over the last year I have started pushing myself to run a mile every other day and it went from physically, emotionally, and spiritually painful to almost enjoyable. I've also gone from running barely a mile to 3 miles! What really helped was not timing myself because as a lifelong athlete I am a pretty competitive person and I'm pretty hard on myself. ANOTHER thing that I've actually loved is barre classes. I started in January and go twice a month and I look forward to it so much
OMG! I love this! When my son was in school, I always made sure that he kept up with the "fashion" that his peers were wearing. I made him suffer through hair styling (okay, like all kids get to do, my son didn't get to miss that "just because he has a disability"!), and fancy expensive athletic shoes (we live in SF Bay Area, Silicone Valley to be more specific, and fashion isn't cheap here either) over his knee high orthotics. By the time he was in high school, he was just so into comfort, it literally took his one-to-one aide to ask me why I didn't let him wear pants with elastic waste that would be easier for changing him and allow his stomach to not be so confined. Before his fusion, he had scoliosis and it never occurred to me that he would be more comfortable, like medically comfortable, in something else. Now, he's 34 and is 100% about comfort, could care less about what society thinks of it, and unless we're going to something special, his uniform of the day is sweats, or crazy leggings, t-shirts, and slip on shoes (winter is Uggs all the way). It's all about balance I guess.
Monday Grub Bag just keeps getting better and better! 💜💜 I really appreciated Hannah's explanation of her short film, gonna go rewatch to pick up on those highlights. 😁
You two crack me up…thank you for always bringing a smile to my face. You have such love for one another and it’s beautiful to watch. Thank you thank you😘
When I hear you two describe your relationship I am blown away! I know it’s not perfect, but it is a lovely example for all of your viewers. What is your advice for those of us looking for love?
Oh Hannah! I am so like you about exercise. I have a gym membership, but so many days, I don’t go because I’ll have to change into gym attire, when I get home I’m all sweaty, and have to change again. Ugh! Too much trouble. I was terrified by a huge snapping turtle that appeared on a walking path once. I’ve never gone back! Love you two! ❤️
I would be a dining room table of a happy functional family. Think of all the holidays and birthday celebrations! You would be decorated for events, used for crafts, baking, family meetings, homework. Haha.
Love you both so much first off , & the snapping turtle video was awesome Hannah! Grubbag question: Whom are you individually "starstruck" over? Hannah who's the one celebrity you would love to meet? Same question for you Shane?
I really enjoy your videos. Such a pleasure to see a happy, positive couple instead of politics, shootings, war etc. etc. I’m sorry there are so many weirdo people who feel the need to denigrate anyone who becomes prominent.
You guys crack me up. As a retired teacher of students with disabilities, what hope do you see for real reform in exceptional education? Great channel. Love everything about your videos. Great ending today!
😂 You guys never fail to make me smile & laugh. Swimming, Walking & Pilates are prob the best forms of exercise you can do because they are so low impact and good mix of cardio + weight bearing. Plus you are super active during the day anyway with cooking, cleaning, caring responsibilities, etc. Whatever you are doing it's working because you have an incredible physique and are healthy and happy. So keep doing it! :)
Question for Hannah: You have obviously been able to come to a realization that a man like Shane can be a man for you. But your ability to see potential in him is a minority ability. So Hannah, what could you tell walking people about seeing potential romantic opportunities with people who have physical disabilities? Any thoughts you can share to help walking people expand their horizons to include people with disabilities as potential partners? By and large in life, walking people struggle to see any potential with people with disabilities, besides platonic friendships.
Interesting question! Well said. I agree that it is a minority ability though people with disabilities are worthy of love so it could be good to learn ways to open our minds and expand our thinking out of what society might have conditioned us to feel. Watching Hannah and Shane helped me to personally realize that for me I'm just either attracted to someone or I'm not. A person's disability might have something to do with why I feel unattracted to them but then I might also find someone with a similar disability attractive. It's like attraction for me is kind of unexplainable and impossible to put into a box so I'm open to anyone but that doesn't mean I'm attracted to anyone. Hard to explain but my main point is watching Hannah and Shane helped me to open my mind and see that it's not really disability vs non disability that makes me attracted to someone but it's more just whether or not I'm attracted to that person as a whole. I'm interested to hear Hannah's answer on this!
I think that’s part of the reason they started and kept making youtube videos. They want people to expand their horizons, to let them see that people with disabilities are just normal people. We as viewers see the value in both Hannah ‘and’ Shane. They both have great qualities. Personal attraction can’t really be swayed but seeing disabled people as human certainly helps.
Two Questions! 1) Hannah you keep talking about liking snacks. How do you stay so thin?? 2) Shane, are you still taking treatments to help your muscles like you spoke about sometime ago? You talk so clearly so I was wondering if you are still taking them
I sooOoo enjoy watching your videos since finding you by accident while looking for a mobility scooter that's not going to make me look like a 70 year old woman I looked at some wheelchair reviews and found your channel and really look forward to seeing you both every week like just now I saw you had posted an hour ago here it was just after midnight in the UK and feeling kind of down but watching you makes me feel better about life my situation with my medical issues and getting on with my 8 year relationship with my partner thinking how he could be happier with out me but that all goes beyond that point when I see the help and advice your stories have inspired me to look forward to my future with trying to just accept it like it's me now and my partner canove me for me but yes you help me out in a way that you don't even know and for that I'm truely great fully happy you decideed to do these videos and sharing with us your life and how you feel about yourself is great... Keep up your hard work as it truly is making a difference to us and I'm sure others too... XxxxX
Having an invisible disability is a double edged sword: Disabled people don’t see us as disabled, Able-bodied don’t see don’t see us as ‘disabled’ (I’ve been challenged in parking lots about my place card that I am using someone else’s disabled place card). What advice would you give to an interabled couple with an INVISIBLE disability? We seem to not fit into any world.
Here’s my question for one of the Monday Q&A: Hannah I’ve heard you sing in a few videos and you have a beautiful voice! Did you ever have singing lessons? :)
Hannah,,get an exercise trampoline,,don’t have to leave the house 😁 I have one and it’s GREAT for circulation and lymphatic drainage……I DONT JUMP I bounce.((I’m 78)) I ask my I GOOGLE to play Donna Summers music and bounce for 15 - 20 minutes…I love the music and encourages me to move arms and body to the beat..😃 I would encourage ANYONE who loves music and really hates exercise !! I’ve been vegan now for 8 years now and also swim in my pool at least 3 times a week(( half hour of straight exercising in the pool)) I believe this is what has kept me so healthy 🤞🏼 ..Been watching you both for several years now 💕
I love you guys so much! You both adore each other so much. I'm retired now but had worked in the past with adults with mental and physical disabilities. I was told over and over by many they could never see themselves doing what I did. I loved my job. I admire you both. You make me smile and laugh. I'm not that far from you guys. Eagle Grove, Iowa. I would love to meet you guys someday ❤️
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Shane "a toilet" Hannah "Oh Shane. Oh my god. That is gross. You wouldn't like that." Lol the way you said it so calm but like defeated/annoyed kinda sounding. You crack me up sometimes when you respond to his crazy answers.
I want to tell you I’ve watched that surprise video over and over and I can’t see the invisible snapping turtle having a fight. I think you two should use that video as some sort of monster in a scary video and air a little bit every Monday…..it would draw people into the mystery and you might earn an Emmy…I’m serious
Omg I found your channel yesterday and I can’t stop watching you guys. You are so cute, You embrace life through laughter and it’s infectious. I have never laughed so much with my earbuds on my hubby pokes me at 2am… not a vlog to fall asleep to 🤣
l LOVE Monday GrubBag!! Yous guys are awesone ;and I adore you two as a couple so much! Thank You for sharing your lives with us❤😊 holy crap I thought that was a baby on the big one .... so freaking awesome👌🏽
I found you one night while I was checking out TH-cam. I have been busy trying to catch up on all your videos. Fell in love!!!! All my family members now know of you!!!! Keep up the great work!!!!
I watched your snapping turtle video 2 more times Hannah. The 2nd time I noticed the little turtle. The 3rd time I imagined your excitement 😅👍 You guys are fun!!❤
That any equipment and/or rehab be provided to live as independently as can be. Not to be determined by insurance or SSI disability which now is bare, cheapest minimum.
I have so much respect and love you guys so much. I appreciate your honesty and how directly you answer and Shane really should do standup comedy because he's hilarious ♥️
Hi. I'm 65 years, I am in stage 1of alzheimer's, the Dr. Said to laugh more. You two make me laugh. THANK YOU GUYS.

The part where they talked about how their lives would be different if they never met almost made me cry. They are so incredibly lucky to have found a soulmate, and I hope that one day I can find someone who loves me as much as these two love eachother.

I love your answers to what your lives would be without each other! Well, not the answers, but your conversation in between. Your love is a beautiful thing to see! Thank you again for sharing with us. I couldn’t imagine doing this! You guys are as beautiful as you are brave!🌹❤️🥰
I don’t have any real questions for you two. I just love watching the interaction between the two of you and I usually end the video wiping my eyes from the laughter. So thank you Shane and Hannah for a dose of joy in my life. 😀
I just LOVE you guys!!!! You are so genuine, so funny and so down to earth!!! It is always such a delight to watch you two in action, and to take part in your wonderful life together, via your channel!!! Thank you for sharing yourselves, your love and your insight with others!!!!
You know what it is… I’m about a minute and 47 seconds in fyi, I absolutely love watching Shane talk and Hannah staring into space listening to every word he has to say ..but it’s like , so Beautiful when she gets that aha moment like she knows what you’re about to say ♥️♥️ it gets me every time!! U2 are just so cute together and just have such an adoration for your love for each other!! 🥰
you both have such a wonderful way of making me feel like i’m just sitting with a couple friends when i watch your videos. thank you for the wonderful company and all the laughs 💜
I love how Chloe barked when you read the one about 3 questions you would ask her.
Question for Shane: I'm disabled and I personally still struggle with the feeling of being a burden. And in one of your videos you mentioned that you managed to overcome/ get rid of this feeling.
So my question is: How did you get there? Do you have any tips or advice?
Love from Germany and happy belated birthday!
Thank you for asking this question I can totally relate to your question :-)
I love this question!
I’m disabled as well. I’d love to hear Shane’s opinion on this. Thank you so much 🥰
Fantastic question!
Not Shane, but I am disabled. My main mindset is that if people saw me as a burden, they wouldn't be so willing to hang out with me or help me with whatever task. The people that do see me as a burden aren't worth my time.
Speaking of the Chloe question: have you seen those buttons that you can record a word and teach your dog tricks/communication?
you two are so amazing thank you for explaining so many aspects of you lives together and helping us to understand about Shane's disability
I've been so busy I have missed too many videos ! This. video reminded me why I enjoy watching the two of you, besides the love, the laughter and sometimes toilet humor, I just feel happy seeing you together!
For some reason, I enjoyed this video immensely! I think your love and camaraderie really shines through. Shane seems so much stronger lately, too.
I appreciate you guys, I have been made more aware of my surroundings and with that I have been able to be okay with asking for accomadations (sp?) When needed, and more mindful of others that may need it.
That snapping turtle video was 100% the highlight of my day. Thank you Hannah!
I absolutely LOVE that you both compromise in your beautiful and blossoming relationship!
When I spent nights at my fiance's house, we were both night owls, but if I got too tired and he wanted to stay up longer, I would let him know to wake me up when he is ready to go to bed.
Questions for next Monday Grub-bag: How have you made your new wheelchair more comfortable and usable? I was under the impression you would have to go to many expensive fitting appointments to make it work better for you but that hasn't been mentioned. Obviously things happen in your life that you don't talk about on the internet and that's totally understandable, so if this is one of those things, that's fine. Just curious what changes you made to make it work better? And I know being able to reach your joystick was important to you- is that something you're able to do in this new wheelchair like you had hoped? If not, what adjustments could you make to make it work?
Question: What's a hobby you have always wanted to get into but don't have the time for?
9:05 perfect bark timing from chole there! I swear dogs know when we're talking about them!
Shane, I totally get what you’re saying. I have been disabled from birth, but lived a “normal” life, not interacting with other disabled people until I started playing wheelchair basketball in high school. I, for some reason, was a little uncomfortable around them despite being in a wheelchair myself. It was like I disassociated myself from other disabled people.
I absolutely love u both. So honest, funny, dramatic and best of all the way u r so sweet to each other. Treating each other with respect and love. I can literally see on screen how much u love each other. I hope ur momma is good Hannah. I love Liz. The look on ur face when Shane says Lizzy brings me to tears I laugh so hard. Best of all u hardly show or talk about what POS people can be always finding the good and positive in most situations u encounter. Not easy to always do. Keep up the good work. U both rock. Much ❤️ Kris 🇨🇦🙏🙏
As there was a question about ableism, I remembered the first time I watched a video of yours and thinking that Shane was mentally disabled just because he was in a wheelchair which seems like such a dumb thing to think! Of course after three minutes of watching your video I realized how wrong I was but that’s just a sad thing in general, this embedded ableism or the lack of reflecting on my thoughts on disability. Luckily this was one year ago and since then your videos changed my perspective on disability massively which makes me very happy! One of the first things I learned from you was to remember for example talking to the person in the wheelchair themselves and not to the accompanying person, which seems like such a obvious thing now for me to do… but yeah, society taught us otherwise and I really hope that many other people will find your channel and change their minds… it’s about damn time! Anyways, thanks for the entertaining video (as always). Lots of love from Germany
It's no wonder Hannah fell in love with Shane. You are a terrific couple - a perfect match! Your outlook on life, love and the future is truly inspirational. I am always filled with such joy after watching your videos. Shane cracks me up - - - what a wonderful spirit. I pray for much happiness and long healthy lives for both of you....
Question: Have you guys thought about what you how you would do your daily routine if Hannah were to get pregnant and not be able to lift Shane?
I remember Shane stating that he would temporarily hire a caregiver. Hannah’s family will apparently also be happy to help as they live near each other.
Liz is his paid caregiver
They did talk about this in a previous video, but maybe their plans have changed.
@Magic Frog and which scam would that be?
@Magic Frog you are free to watch something else
G.B. question: Can we expect a special Monday Q&A with Liz at some point ?
I totally relate to the exercise thing! I was an athlete and dancer through college and now I have to force myself to exercise. Over the last year I have started pushing myself to run a mile every other day and it went from physically, emotionally, and spiritually painful to almost enjoyable. I've also gone from running barely a mile to 3 miles! What really helped was not timing myself because as a lifelong athlete I am a pretty competitive person and I'm pretty hard on myself. ANOTHER thing that I've actually loved is barre classes. I started in January and go twice a month and I look forward to it so much
I love Shane's humor. The two of you are adorable together.
"I would want to be mars, the whole thing." I cackled. I haven't been watching you guys for a bit so that I could binge watch. :)
I did in fact rewatch the turtle video after your description Hannah, loved it even more the second time around!
OMG! I love this! When my son was in school, I always made sure that he kept up with the "fashion" that his peers were wearing. I made him suffer through hair styling (okay, like all kids get to do, my son didn't get to miss that "just because he has a disability"!), and fancy expensive athletic shoes (we live in SF Bay Area, Silicone Valley to be more specific, and fashion isn't cheap here either) over his knee high orthotics. By the time he was in high school, he was just so into comfort, it literally took his one-to-one aide to ask me why I didn't let him wear pants with elastic waste that would be easier for changing him and allow his stomach to not be so confined. Before his fusion, he had scoliosis and it never occurred to me that he would be more comfortable, like medically comfortable, in something else. Now, he's 34 and is 100% about comfort, could care less about what society thinks of it, and unless we're going to something special, his uniform of the day is sweats, or crazy leggings, t-shirts, and slip on shoes (winter is Uggs all the way). It's all about balance I guess.
Monday Grub Bag just keeps getting better and better! 💜💜
I really appreciated Hannah's explanation of her short film, gonna go rewatch to pick up on those highlights. 😁
You two crack me up…thank you for always bringing a smile to my face. You have such love for one another and it’s beautiful to watch. Thank you thank you😘
That was a really big snapping turtle, Hannah. I'm glad you got to film it. Much love to you both 💖
When I hear you two describe your relationship I am blown away! I know it’s not perfect, but it is a lovely example for all of your viewers. What is your advice for those of us looking for love?
You two are simply the best! I'm so glad I found your channel!
This was a cute video. Shane, you’re funny & a great communicator. Chloe questions were perfect. 😂
Oh Hannah! I am so like you about exercise. I have a gym membership, but so many days, I don’t go because I’ll have to change into gym attire, when I get home I’m all sweaty, and have to change again. Ugh! Too much trouble. I was terrified by a huge snapping turtle that appeared on a walking path once. I’ve never gone back! Love you two! ❤️
I would be a dining room table of a happy functional family. Think of all the holidays and birthday celebrations! You would be decorated for events, used for crafts, baking, family meetings, homework. Haha.
Love you both so much first off , & the snapping turtle video was awesome Hannah! Grubbag question: Whom are you individually "starstruck" over? Hannah who's the one celebrity you would love to meet? Same question for you Shane?
I really enjoy your videos. Such a pleasure to see a happy, positive couple instead of politics, shootings, war etc. etc. I’m sorry there are so many weirdo people who feel the need to denigrate anyone who becomes prominent.
You guys crack me up. As a retired teacher of students with disabilities, what hope do you see for real reform in exceptional education? Great channel. Love everything about your videos. Great ending today!
😂 You guys never fail to make me smile & laugh. Swimming, Walking & Pilates are prob the best forms of exercise you can do because they are so low impact and good mix of cardio + weight bearing. Plus you are super active during the day anyway with cooking, cleaning, caring responsibilities, etc. Whatever you are doing it's working because you have an incredible physique and are healthy and happy. So keep doing it! :)
Question for Hannah: You have obviously been able to come to a realization that a man like Shane can be a man for you. But your ability to see potential in him is a minority ability. So Hannah, what could you tell walking people about seeing potential romantic opportunities with people who have physical disabilities? Any thoughts you can share to help walking people expand their horizons to include people with disabilities as potential partners? By and large in life, walking people struggle to see any potential with people with disabilities, besides platonic friendships.
Interesting question! Well said. I agree that it is a minority ability though people with disabilities are worthy of love so it could be good to learn ways to open our minds and expand our thinking out of what society might have conditioned us to feel. Watching Hannah and Shane helped me to personally realize that for me I'm just either attracted to someone or I'm not. A person's disability might have something to do with why I feel unattracted to them but then I might also find someone with a similar disability attractive. It's like attraction for me is kind of unexplainable and impossible to put into a box so I'm open to anyone but that doesn't mean I'm attracted to anyone. Hard to explain but my main point is watching Hannah and Shane helped me to open my mind and see that it's not really disability vs non disability that makes me attracted to someone but it's more just whether or not I'm attracted to that person as a whole. I'm interested to hear Hannah's answer on this!
I think that’s part of the reason they started and kept making youtube videos. They want people to expand their horizons, to let them see that people with disabilities are just normal people. We as viewers see the value in both Hannah ‘and’ Shane. They both have great qualities. Personal attraction can’t really be swayed but seeing disabled people as human certainly helps.
Great question
agree.i have hidden disabilities.
deaf,asthmatic.
5 love languages by Dr Chapman might help with the why and how love can and does exist, develop, grow between 2 people. I'm serious.
You two are so funny!! Hannah I instantly went to alligator not snapping turtle so yes I had to watch it again!!
I love you two so much your chemistry is incredible, Shane really keeps Hannah laughing I fucking love it
Two Questions!
1) Hannah you keep talking about liking snacks. How do you stay so thin??
2) Shane, are you still taking treatments to help your muscles like you spoke about sometime ago? You talk so clearly so I was wondering if you are still taking them
I sooOoo enjoy watching your videos since finding you by accident while looking for a mobility scooter that's not going to make me look like a 70 year old woman I looked at some wheelchair reviews and found your channel and really look forward to seeing you both every week like just now I saw you had posted an hour ago here it was just after midnight in the UK and feeling kind of down but watching you makes me feel better about life my situation with my medical issues and getting on with my 8 year relationship with my partner thinking how he could be happier with out me but that all goes beyond that point when I see the help and advice your stories have inspired me to look forward to my future with trying to just accept it like it's me now and my partner canove me for me but yes you help me out in a way that you don't even know and for that I'm truely great fully happy you decideed to do these videos and sharing with us your life and how you feel about yourself is great... Keep up your hard work as it truly is making a difference to us and I'm sure others too... XxxxX
I love the soundtrack to your short film! Sounds like stuff I make/listen to.
Having an invisible disability is a double edged sword: Disabled people don’t see us as disabled, Able-bodied don’t see don’t see us as ‘disabled’ (I’ve been challenged in parking lots about my place card that I am using someone else’s disabled place card).
What advice would you give to an interabled couple with an INVISIBLE disability? We seem to not fit into any world.
I love this question as I also have an invisible disability. I would love to her what they have to say
Gosh I love you both so much! Your beautiful bond with each other should inspire millions. God be with you always. Loads of LOVE from South Africa 💜💜💜
Wow, stumbled on to this video super early. Almost to 1 million subs, too! Big party ahead. :)
These are really good questions and answers. I had to keep rewinding to watch because your questions sparked conversations with the family.👍
You have both been like glowing recently. Idk if it's the sunny weather but you seem really happy and healthy in recent videos.
Thank goodness, finally..the snapping turtle footage I've been waiting for! Thank you.
You guys are hands down my favorite TH-camrs out there. I love your positive attitudes ❤️ Q: Hannah, would you ever dye your hair? If so what color?
Here’s my question for one of the Monday Q&A: Hannah I’ve heard you sing in a few videos and you have a beautiful voice! Did you ever have singing lessons? :)
“I saw a tree. It was Hannah.” 😂 😂 😂
Hannah,,get an exercise trampoline,,don’t have to leave the house 😁 I have one and it’s GREAT for circulation and lymphatic drainage……I DONT JUMP I bounce.((I’m 78)) I ask my I GOOGLE to play Donna Summers music and bounce for 15 - 20 minutes…I love the music and encourages me to move arms and body to the beat..😃
I would encourage ANYONE who loves music and really hates exercise !! I’ve been vegan now for 8 years now and also swim in my pool at least 3 times a week(( half hour of straight exercising in the pool)) I believe this is what has kept me so healthy 🤞🏼 ..Been watching you both for several years now 💕
I swear you guys are so funny, your humor feeds off each other…I love ya’ll!
I love you guys so much! You both adore each other so much. I'm retired now but had worked in the past with adults with mental and physical disabilities. I was told over and over by many they could never see themselves doing what I did. I loved my job. I admire you both. You make me smile and laugh. I'm not that far from you guys. Eagle Grove, Iowa. I would love to meet you guys someday ❤️
Got here early! Never been this early though! Thank you for Monday Grub Bag! Love you both!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shane "a toilet"
Hannah "Oh Shane. Oh my god. That is gross. You wouldn't like that." Lol the way you said it so calm but like defeated/annoyed kinda sounding. You crack me up sometimes when you respond to his crazy answers.
Good to see you are alive Shane. Can’t wait to join your new blog. Have you ever thought about partnering with audible to have an audio version of it?
I want to tell you I’ve watched that surprise video over and over and I can’t see the invisible snapping turtle having a fight. I think you two should use that video as some sort of monster in a scary video and air a little bit every Monday…..it would draw people into the mystery and you might earn an Emmy…I’m serious
GB question: what's your favourite book / what's one book you read over and over again?
Love you guys ❤️
OMG you guys are awesome!!! Thank you very much for your positive videos and for always making me leave with a smile on my face!
Happy Birthday Shane 🥂
Omg I found your channel yesterday and I can’t stop watching you guys. You are so cute, You embrace life through laughter and it’s infectious. I have never laughed so much with my earbuds on my hubby pokes me at 2am… not a vlog to fall asleep to 🤣
l LOVE Monday GrubBag!! Yous guys are awesone ;and I adore you two as a couple so much! Thank You for sharing your lives with us❤😊 holy crap I thought that was a baby on the big one .... so freaking awesome👌🏽
I found you one night while I was checking out TH-cam. I have been busy trying to catch up on all your videos. Fell in love!!!! All my family members now know of you!!!! Keep up the great work!!!!
I watched your snapping turtle video 2 more times Hannah. The 2nd time I noticed the little turtle. The 3rd time I imagined your excitement 😅👍
You guys are fun!!❤
Grub-bag question: if you had the power to pass one disability-related law, what would it be?
I hope they answer this, I'd be interested to know :)
I wish I could give this more than one “like”. Great question.
That any equipment and/or rehab be provided to live as independently as can be. Not to be determined by insurance or SSI disability which now is bare, cheapest minimum.
Oh, I hope they do this one! Fantastic question!!
The frustrating thing is even when we have laws (ADA), they don't get enforced.
I’m so happy I came across you two on the internets. I love you guys.
I have so much respect and love you guys so much. I appreciate your honesty and how directly you answer and Shane really should do standup comedy because he's hilarious ♥️
