What a great way to "accidentally" begin your video today!!! Lol.... I was like "hey, what's going on here??" Totally agree today. Aging, less friends, lonely, bored, night driving, living in cold Colorado.......etc. That's why I watch videos. And you always bring a smile or laugh to me!! The time you, Keith, and John (and John's girlfriend too??) made the sock puppets!!!!!! I laughed so hard I was crying!!!!! I still think of that video at times when I watch your channel!!!! You can be such a "hoot" sometimes!! Thanks for the smiles, laughs and craziness!!!!!!!!!!!!
You crack me up Tracey, We're all here lonely no friends, family sucks . The best thing is I dont have to put up with a man. Hallelujah for that. My mom had a saying on her fridge " ITS BETTER TO BE ALONE THEN WISH YOU WERE" I resonate with that lol
Tracey...the weather does not help. Was on the west coast of Oregon when a childhood friend called and needed help. Drove straight here to Maine. Heading out next weekend and heading south. CAN'T WAIT!!!! Could not find a like button!!!! Luv Ya!!!!
I feel ya... I work two full time jobs, live alone for several years and my only child lives in another state. They are married, kids and their own life so I get that they want to do their own thing. My siblings are all married with kids and grandkids and so they have their own lives. It's hard for sure and it has made me really hate the holidays, feels amplified! Just get through day by day.
Just found your channel, love it! Real life, working class reality I can relate to, I work in home health. I love that you’re not the typical influencer channel!!
I feel you either want to be in someone's life or you don't. Thanks for the info about what makes you happy as a person with a full heart and support take care
Loneliness the feeling that the wind is blowing straight through me. That I have experienced in a crowd or by myself. Alone but comfortable in my own skin is peace to me. I have many acquaintances but I have very few true friends and as time passes those fall by the wayside. Covid, housing, economic apartheid has taken a toll in our society. I have followed your journey and commented throughout I feel we are fellow travelers in these times. Thanks for the burrito chat Wawa’s breakfast burrito is my fave. Namaste
Oh my gosh! I was wondering why people were saying something! Yikes! I didn’t have time to watch it back because work was so busy! I must have had it on slow mo when I was filming! 🤦♀️ ugh
You're so funny! I enjoy your channel. I feel the SAME WAY about people in parking lots!! I park towards the end of the parking lot and the same thing happens to me. Closer spaces all around and someone will park right next to me- guess it's one of my pet peeves.
I love the grounded reality of this channel!! Retirement took a toll on my finances, but I am so excited with my involvement in the digital market. $110k monthly has been life changing. Regardless of how bad it gets on the economy.
Impressive! Been trying to trade on my own for a while now, but it isn't going well. few months ago I lost about $27,000 in the trade. Can you please at least advise me on what to do?
Giving her my initial savings of $43,000 to invest in a brokerage account was a turning point in my life. It's been an incredibly rewarding experience and the best decision I ever made!
Great first few minutes of your video Tracey,thought I was having a bad acid trip.Can relate 100% to everything you said.ahh minus the pants pooping.Your the best and we all can totally relate as you are so much like a lot of us out here.
Life is boring. Social media has people thinking there is an adventure around ever corner and endless entertainment. Living a life with a fulfilling career, family,and peace should be the goal. The rest is a bonus. You look good. I am glad things are settling down so your stress level is reduced. Keep smiling and doing the things that make you happy ❤❤
Small town life here. I still have good friends from grade school. And best friends I have met thru ministries. We get together. My best friend & I travel because my husband still works. I do need my down time tho. I am 69 so am retired and that gives me more time for me.
Girl your not alone.. your talking in our language 😂..ive chosen to pull back from people years a ago.I have no siblings ..parents are gone..other family aren't interested ..
I see you with less stress and I wish I were young. I think of you as a good friend even though we aren't close. I would like to meet you with my wife. You are such a wonderful person. I want to just say thank you. Stay true to yourself. Love you.
I am your FRIEND Jim from Ohio, the retired Navy veteran......I have PTSD and after this election, I am very depressed.......please don't stop your videos, you have tons of friends who care about you and you Mom.......tell her HI for me........again your friend ......be safe and well
I ❤ you Tracey! You're an amazing person! You sure make me feel less alone. I also don't like to have a lot of people in my life. But i do need some connection, which i have very little. All of my family is gone and friends are really hard to come by. Thinking of moving to Ireland right now.
I think that the craziness in 2020 helped with a division. The goal is to reconnect and/or find a few good friends. Not easy. Couch potatoe time is important too. Holidays can be difficult. Find blessings where you can.
The feeling lonely part isn't a one way street you know. The day you choose to put an end to your channel... this love anonymous relation between us, well, it's over, I, like all of us, will never see you again, and you'll never know just how much you meant to us. So now you know, my old heart is in hand. Love you precious one. 💙
Oh my gosh! I was wondering why people were saying something! Yikes! I didn’t have time to watch it back because work was so busy! I must have had it on slow mo when I was filming! 🤦♀️ ugh
It turned out fine because there were some fun reactions from it. At first I thought you did it deliberately to add an artistic effect to your message. I hope you got a smile from it.
Tracy life's been a helluva roller coaster ride these past 4 to 5 yrs. It hit me somewhere abt when you went public n started van life. We're in the same boat...let's lash them together for awhile so we can help each other row the boat. Love ya.❤
I'm 61, recently widowed and moved to Mexico in order to be able to afford to retire. Am I lonely at time? Of course I am, but to combat my loneliness I only need to go for a coffee and listen to the chatter around me of which none of it I understand because my Spanish isn't all that good. Just going out and being amongst people truly helps!!!
I read a book about a Japanese technique to defeat depression called "Chop Wood, Carry Water." The idea is that you just go through the motions no matter how you feel to get the necessary things done. TH-cam sounds like this for you. I haven't had friends since high school (or even before). I've always "borrowed" the friends of my wives and now that they're gone, my sisters live across the road and that's about it. I'm starting to think about looking for female companionship maybe again, but it's just a thought at this point. Life is fun. There's always something.
I feel the same way, I’m 53, I don’t have close friends anymore, I also don’t work in an office anymore ( I do a nanny job part time) so I don’t have work friends. It’s just so different. Also I have no family near me except my husband and two older kids who still live with us. And I also feel like life ( at least for me) has never been the same since Covid, it’s strange.
In the beginning when I heard those strange sounds I thought it was some exotic farm animal I didn't know about.😂 I have never been a group joiner. I don't care. I like what I like whether I have a following or not. I do want to build out my own van using what I already have because it's a fun challenge. I love to travel the out of the way places and meet new people. I love learning. So I do what I do. I would rather be alone than lonely in a crowd.
Oh my gosh! I was wondering why people were saying something! Yikes! I didn’t have time to watch it back because work was so busy! I must have had it on slow mo when I was filming! 🤦♀️ ugh
Omg I didn’t read the title. I thought it was my Internet after just getting my power restored after the storm. I have a very small circle of friends., I’m single and I too get lonely sometimes. I just try and busy myself. Every time I try and date, it gets too frustrating. I Give it to God. 😊
I am lonely yet I just want to be alone. I think I’ve truly hit a social precipice. I think people have lost all empathy in this self centered social media environment and their personalities have suffered. I miss the days of walking into a record store and asking the clerk about new music and bumping into like minded people. I miss the 80s and 90s. I once went to Hawaii thinking it would be an exotic adventure. I stayed in a really nice place… right across from a Dennys. It appears everything is a box and a parking lot. I spent most of my life in the country and i loved it but it was lonely there too. I never met anyone who really appreciated the woods. I still think i was born in the wrong century.
💐Part of the Issue - and SO many people feel it - is People have been socially engineered that we are supposed to be feeling a certain way around this time.🍀 🌸 If it was a different part of the year, a lot of these feelings would not exist. ☘️You have a very caring heart and are authentic. You will Always be protected.🪻
I too get comfort from watching just every day life stuff. Sometimes I gotta watch Big Rig Travels and see his truck rolling down the highway. That can be so relaxing and then like tonight, I was just about to go to bed and BAM, your pretty face popped up. But I gotta say, when the slo-mo kicked in, I thought it was something happening outside your car....it sounded so odd and it took me way too long to figure out it was slow mo. haha And hey, what you're dealing with IMO is just middle aged stuff. I'm 57 and yeah, I'm not spending nearly as much time with my friends and most times that's perfectly OK. BUT when I get really lonesome, I talk to God because God's always with me. But I'm not some bible thumper....no more like a quite spiritualist. Something really cool happened last night....as I was going to sleep I said a prayer and simply asked my higher power or guides or spirits or whatever to just hold the energy of love, acceptance and kindness cuz I was feeling kinda low on all those. And today I woke up in the best mood and had a really great day. I felt connected and then had a lot of really great conversations with people along the way. It was seriously a magical day and I don't want it to end....but then again, I want tomorrow to be more of the same. I heard someone say recently "Instead of worrying about what and when some bad thing is gonna happen, start asking yourself, How Good Could It Get?" I like that. Anyways - your vid relaxed me and made me feel less alone. So thanks for that. Oh yeah and I just found your channel like 2 days ago so I don't even know about all these adventures you've already had. Doesn't matter, I got time but I really like these kinds of "slice of life" type vids.
I yhink I have said this before but I'll say it again, there is a big difference between being alone and feeling lonely, those are two different things completely. I like being alone but would not like feeling lonely.
I was unable to post a comment on your video yesterday for some reason. Those Quest chips go great with the little cups of just Avacado you can find in produce at Walmart. I eat low carb/keto. Breakfast most mornings that combo is...😊
Everyone today is on fast forward stop&smell the flowers said no one , Its a age thing with the dark (even if you can see) , true friends are hard to find now days many people are introverts in todays fast pass , focus on a passion of yours to ward off depression (KEEP. UP THE CRAZY ) Tracy
Keep up your vitamin D3! And K it's very important to have enough sunlight. I'm saying this to myself because I'm inside a lot right now from health causes.
Pooping in public without realizing it, now that sounds like a nightmare! The one time I used a laundromat in the last few years, there was such an incident, thankfully not me. There was one employee there, both to do laundry for a fee, and to make sure people used the machines correctly, the laundry debit card system was working, the bathrooms were clean, etc. She also entertained any children of customers, the kids knew and flocked to her to dance, sing, or share stories. Anyway, a 70ish guy in a sweatsuit started his laundry going, then the employee ran over to him and said (discreetly, but I was close enough to hear it) "Oh no, I wish you hadn't started the laundry" and then whispered something to him. They paused his washing machine. He shuffled out the door taking steps not quite as long as his feet. 2 minutes later he shuffles back in carrying another sweatsuit, and shuffles to the bathroom, with a huge brown stain on his butt and down his leg. He did what he could to clean up in the rest room, and came out wearing the 2nd sweatsuit, carrying the first one sopping wet, apparently partly washed out in the toilet and sink. Threw it into the washing machine, and they unpaused it. Then he found a chair in a corner to hide in while his laundry was done. i'd had to use their biggest machine for a heavy down comforter, then spent over an hour drying it in a huge dryer. So, I got to see quite a parade of humanity. Not a bad person in the bunch. They just didn't have a washer and drier at their apartments. The laundromat was a social center of sorts, among the regulars. They'd do their laundry at the same time each week, partly to see each other. Stuff you don't realize when you've had laundry at home since 1981. I also got to hear several of the employee's favorite stories both about laundromat customers, and about her childhood and life. One was how as a little kid, her parents would tell her that if she was bad, they would drop her off at a particular orphanage. She defied them, and told them she knew they wouldn't. So one day, the father drives into the orphanage parking lot and says "We're here. One last chance, do you promise to be good?" Instead of answering, she jumped out of the car, ran up an exterior stairwell to the top of the orphanage, and yells "I'm here. My parents don't want me anymore." She made him chase her all around the orphanage building and grounds to catch her, which of course mortified him, as he tried explaining to everyone that he was sorry his kid was making a commotion. She said that in fact she had always been a pretty good kid, didn't like the threats to keep her behaving, and her parents never threatened her with anything again.
Love your videos, even the sad ones. Let me add one more thing. Burger King Eggnormous breakfast burrito meal. Make sure that you are hungry if you get one.
Every time someone says the weather is depressing, I remind them that the Earth was covered in molten rock a few billion years ago, and mostly covered in ice (even the oceans) over a dozen times just in the last 100,000 years. Before agriculture was invented, “fast food” was US running away from deadly predators as fast as we could … slow Ad-Van-turers Over 50 were at the rear to give the young-uns a chance to run away, survive, and live at least another day. Most people can do things today that not even the wealthiest monarchs or robber barons could dream of more than 150 years ago. We have pocket-sized devices that allow us to communicate with about 90% of every other person on the planet. For less than a month’s pay, most people can travel to almost anywhere on the planet inside an aluminum tube at nearly the speed of sound in a day or two. Essentially everything that anyone could ever need to know is now available on-line for little-to-no cost, depending on how lazy you are. Most people are in the embarrassing situation of having too much to eat and drink, and not getting enough physical activity. Climate change isn’t nearly the threat some postulate, as severe weather used to kill an average of upwards of 500,000 people a year, and now it’s less than 10,000. We are within a few generations of the population and civilizations dying out due to distractions that threaten to destroy having enough families. Meanwhile, people are living longer than ever, on average, even with regional wars, pandemics, insufficient physical activity, marginal diets, substance abuse, and crime. Tracey, imagine if you were a pioneer, you settled down in the middle of nowhere, and within a few years, you lived in a town of over 36,000 friendly neighbors. They wandered up and decided that they liked you enough to stick around and witness your stories of the hilarious, heart-rending, and sometimes just day-to-day trials and tribulations that make up your life. Well, that’s exactly what’s happened because of you, you will never be alone as far as we’re concerned, and we’ll do our best to keep you from feeling lonely. Despite all of the modern day “problems”, we live in the best time in human history. I hope the above all seems to put things in perspective, Tracey the Hutt!
So many thoughts about this video! I've been using the same no news, no social media tactic to protect my mental health. I just got back on IG after 3 weeks, and I'm keeping it strictly to funny cat videos. 😸 Similar to you, this will be the first time in a couple of years I won't be taking off in my van for the winter. Even though selling the van was absolutely the right thing for me to do, I do feel a little melancholy about it. Also like you, I can't see 💩 at night and live farther out from things than I'm used to. And speaking of 💩, I'm using that story as a reminder to be grateful I have FULL control of my bowels. 😂 I also feel the way you do about being used to not having friends that I hang out with regularly because I was alone in the van for so long. I wasn't lucky enough to find a little friend group the way you did, but was lucky enough to get to hang out with friends and family along my travels. In between those times, I was alone. I fantasize about living my senior years in a Golden Girls type scenario where we are all close and taking care of each other, but have no idea how I'm going to develop such a group.
Tracey, are you just trying to tell us that shit happens, so don’t look down?!?! 😊😊😊😊.when your video was in slow mo I tried changing my settings to see if it would speed up! It didn’t but it did sound like a new song and fu to try! Times are so different with people and hanging with your peeps for us all. It’s sad and lonely and ok all at once, very weird! 💜🏠. So now and since COVID I watch my peeps on TH-cam! And it’s so scary what little boundaries folks have!! So very wrong stuff!! Thanks always for being you! 💜🩷
Hi Tracy I look forward to seeing your smile and the way you explain your life Journey that it makes me feel as though we are so alike. I wish 1 day you would visit South Jersey and we could get together for a cup of coffee. ❤️You my soul friend.
I watch Eva for years amazing strong woman. The guy found her for she made the mistake and posted information of her friends AirRnB place and said she is close to that place. I am 69 was so excited to retired two years ago and I have never felt so lonely. I live in a city West of downtown Chicago think with all the people in this area I wouldn't have a problem....wrong...
I am dealing with my wife’s dementia and I feel so alone and I get upset with myself because I care for her so much and I know what it’s like to have no one in your life including family ❤❤❤
Is it odd that a 60 year old man has the same feelings and thoughts as you do Tracey on this subject. There again I don't want to be alone or lonely. But sometimes I really enjoy being alone. It must be our generation, who knows...lol ✌❤😊
I'm finally hitting the road in my terms alone 👍🏾😍 on my terms. I understand how changes and transitions in life can be frickin annoying.🧐 Keep moving forward, keep in mind you have people in your life that love you. My best friend since fourth grade is closer to me than any of my blood relatives. You're good and I suspect be alright. Maybe I'll see you down the road sometime.❤ I've been a lone wolf that doesn't mind hanging with a pack occasionally. When I meet up with a pack, I sometimes become the leader without intention. Always chosen by the pack. Free spirit living is attractive to the pack. Lone Wolf 🐺 is alright.
I can relate to what you're saying. Ive been alone for the last 7 years. I have friends but not the type to hang out with. As far as relationships go, not sure i even understand that process anymore. Lol How do you even meet people if you dont hang out on bars? Just saying....you are not alone. 😊❤
Oh my gosh! I was wondering why people were saying something! Yikes! I didn’t have time to watch it back because work was so busy! I must have had it on slow mo when I was filming! 🤦♀️ ugh
I thought my tablet was possessed lol
I thought she had a wild animal nearby
That’s 😂hilarious!
😂😂😂😂😂

👍
Wild audio problem for most of the first 4 minutes. Like 1/10th speed monster-movie stuff!
This is me putting my hand on my Bible for you. 😂 I was waiting for pea green soup.
Hit the nail on the head …..single life is lonely sometimes , especially when traveling and seems like everyone is so uptight and busy
I'm 63 living alone, I connect with you so much, Love your humor!!
Tracey...the weather does not help. Was on the west coast of Oregon when a childhood friend called and needed help. Drove straight here to Maine. Heading out next weekend and heading south. CAN'T WAIT!!!! Could not find a like button!!!! Luv Ya!!!!
I just love ya! So down to earth, beautiful.
I am going through stuff myself, thank you for being so loving, you inspire me! ❤
I feel ya... I work two full time jobs, live alone for several years and my only child lives in another state. They are married, kids and their own life so I get that they want to do their own thing. My siblings are all married with kids and grandkids and so they have their own lives. It's hard for sure and it has made me really hate the holidays, feels amplified! Just get through day by day.

You seem so happy, relaxed and relieved. Take care.
I love the breakfast burritos at McDonald’s. Although I don’t know if I can ever eat another one without thinking about your Walgreens poop story! lol
For the first 3 minutes I thought I was having a flashback. Lmao
Oh my gosh! I was wondering why people were saying something! Yikes! I didn’t have time to watch it back because work was so busy! I must have had it on slow mo when I was filming! 🤦♀️ ugh
@AdvanturesOver50 it was great. Made me laugh. Keep being human. Lol
lol you are too funny. It happens to the best of us.
You're so funny!
I enjoy your channel.
I feel the SAME WAY about people in parking lots!!
I park towards the end of the parking lot and the same thing happens to me. Closer spaces all around and someone will park right next to me- guess it's one of my pet peeves.
…those at peace are a light to those seeking the same…
Wonderful testimony, young lady❤️
I love shopping at Walgreens - the 💩 story is hilarious - wow what a great ending ❤
I am crying laughing at the slow motion😂😂
OH........HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Yep getting ready for another winter ❄️
I love the grounded reality of this channel!!
Retirement took a toll on my finances, but I am so excited with my involvement in the digital market. $110k monthly has been life changing. Regardless of how bad it gets on the economy.
Hello how do you make such monthly??
Impressive! Been trying to trade on my own for a while now, but it isn't going well. few months ago I lost about $27,000 in the trade. Can you please at least advise me on what to do?
Sorry about that…. Well I started with Maira Angelina Alexander in 2023 and now my life is good some thing to write home about!!!! I thank God🤲
She's a licensed broker here in the states🇺🇸 and finance advisor.
Giving her my initial savings of $43,000 to invest in a brokerage account was a turning point in my life. It's been an incredibly rewarding experience and the best decision I ever made!

You are hilarious. Thx for the chuckle Tracey
😅 Best first 4 minutes of a TH-cam video ever!!

Accept America’s choice and move on dude. Life will be ok. 👌🏻
I ❤ you Tracey! You're an amazing person! You sure make me feel less alone. I also don't like to have a lot of people in my life. But i do need some connection, which i have very little. All of my family is gone and friends are really hard to come by. Thinking of moving to Ireland right now.
I think that the craziness in 2020 helped with a division. The goal is to reconnect and/or find a few good friends. Not easy.
Couch potatoe time is important too.
Holidays can be difficult. Find blessings where you can.
I'm digging watching your pretty facial expressions in slow motion. 😊❤
Lol ur so funny 😂
Im starting over at 57 depression sucks!! I'm just going through the motions.
Great video xx
The feeling lonely part isn't a one way street you know.

These are friends we’ve had since 1998! I'm 46
I think you started out feeling a little sluggish. 😁😉
Oh my gosh! I was wondering why people were saying something! Yikes! I didn’t have time to watch it back because work was so busy! I must have had it on slow mo when I was filming! 🤦♀️ ugh
It turned out fine because there were some fun reactions from it. At first I thought you did it deliberately to add an artistic effect to your message. I hope you got a smile from it.
Lol I thought my TV was possessed, that was freaky 😳
You make me feel so heard ❤
Its been raining here in GA also. Have a good day
I get it! I agree...virtual friends don't give us any drama
Tracy life's been a helluva roller coaster ride these past 4 to 5 yrs. It hit me somewhere abt when you went public n started van life.
We're in the same boat...let's lash them together for awhile so we can help each other row the boat. Love ya.❤

Yes ! I miss having friends close to me. I agree since covid. It gave ppp excuses.
Hi, I’m still in Seattle but I’ll be going back to Souptown in a few months to be with my Ma. I’m feelin it
I feel the same way, I’m 53, I don’t have close friends anymore, I also don’t work in an office anymore ( I do a nanny job part time) so I don’t have work friends. It’s just so different. Also I have no family near me except my husband and two older kids who still live with us. And I also feel like life ( at least for me) has never been the same since Covid, it’s strange.
I thought my phone was playing up Tracey ha
Cheer up Tracy. Your gen x . You have this

Tracey 🖐️, ..... Your video in beginning **Audio is in "slow motion" -- sounds really strange 😉
Oh my gosh! I was wondering why people were saying something! Yikes! I didn’t have time to watch it back because work was so busy! I must have had it on slow mo when I was filming! 🤦♀️ ugh
@@AdvanturesOver50 It's alright 👌 .... we're only human ☮️✌️😘
Jaba the hut after 50😂
M-I-L-F-
This is too scary... nope!
I watch Eva too, at least she has Vilk with her for protection.
Omg I didn’t read the title. I thought it was my Internet after just getting my power restored after the storm. I have a very small circle of friends., I’m single and I too get lonely sometimes. I just try and busy myself. Every time I try and date, it gets too frustrating. I Give it to God. 😊
Yikes, there's more than the winter blues setting in! But don't worry you'll be fine.😁
I could have sworn beelzebub had taken over your channel for a bit there. Oh' thank God, it was a false alarm. 😁
I am lonely yet I just want to be alone. I think I’ve truly hit a social precipice. I think people have lost all empathy in this self centered social media environment and their personalities have suffered. I miss the days of walking into a record store and asking the clerk about new music and bumping into like minded people. I miss the 80s and 90s. I once went to Hawaii thinking it would be an exotic adventure. I stayed in a really nice place… right across from a Dennys. It appears everything is a box and a parking lot. I spent most of my life in the country and i loved it but it was lonely there too. I never met anyone who really appreciated the woods. I still think i was born in the wrong century.
💐Part of the Issue - and SO many people feel it - is People have been socially engineered that we are supposed to be feeling a certain way around this time.🍀
🌸 If it was a different part of the year, a lot of these feelings would not exist.
☘️You have a very caring heart and are authentic. You will Always be protected.🪻
baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Are you ok?
I too get comfort from watching just every day life stuff. Sometimes I gotta watch Big Rig Travels and see his truck rolling down the highway. That can be so relaxing and then like tonight, I was just about to go to bed and BAM, your pretty face popped up. But I gotta say, when the slo-mo kicked in, I thought it was something happening outside your car....it sounded so odd and it took me way too long to figure out it was slow mo. haha And hey, what you're dealing with IMO is just middle aged stuff. I'm 57 and yeah, I'm not spending nearly as much time with my friends and most times that's perfectly OK. BUT when I get really lonesome, I talk to God because God's always with me. But I'm not some bible thumper....no more like a quite spiritualist.
Something really cool happened last night....as I was going to sleep I said a prayer and simply asked my higher power or guides or spirits or whatever to just hold the energy of love, acceptance and kindness cuz I was feeling kinda low on all those. And today I woke up in the best mood and had a really great day. I felt connected and then had a lot of really great conversations with people along the way. It was seriously a magical day and I don't want it to end....but then again, I want tomorrow to be more of the same.
I heard someone say recently "Instead of worrying about what and when some bad thing is gonna happen, start asking yourself, How Good Could It Get?" I like that.
Anyways - your vid relaxed me and made me feel less alone. So thanks for that. Oh yeah and I just found your channel like 2 days ago so I don't even know about all these adventures you've already had. Doesn't matter, I got time but I really like these kinds of "slice of life" type vids.
OMG! I thought my phone was possessed! That was freaky!
I yhink I have said this before but I'll say it again, there is a big difference between being alone and feeling lonely, those are two different things completely. I like being alone but would not like feeling lonely.
I was unable to post a comment on your video yesterday for some reason. Those Quest chips go great with the little cups of just Avacado you can find in produce at Walmart. I eat low carb/keto. Breakfast most mornings that combo is...😊
Everyone today is on fast forward stop&smell the flowers said no one , Its a age thing with the dark (even if you can see) , true friends are hard to find now days many people are introverts in todays fast pass , focus on a passion of yours to ward off depression (KEEP. UP THE CRAZY ) Tracy
Keep up your vitamin D3! And K it's very important to have enough sunlight. I'm saying this to myself because I'm inside a lot right now from health causes.
I thought my phone was lagging for like 4 minutes. 😆. I have to drive 10 & 2 often. I stay away from all the drama as much as often.
😂😂
EMDR will help a lot. Feel better
Pooping in public without realizing it, now that sounds like a nightmare! The one time I used a laundromat in the last few years, there was such an incident, thankfully not me. There was one employee there, both to do laundry for a fee, and to make sure people used the machines correctly, the laundry debit card system was working, the bathrooms were clean, etc. She also entertained any children of customers, the kids knew and flocked to her to dance, sing, or share stories. Anyway, a 70ish guy in a sweatsuit started his laundry going, then the employee ran over to him and said (discreetly, but I was close enough to hear it) "Oh no, I wish you hadn't started the laundry" and then whispered something to him. They paused his washing machine. He shuffled out the door taking steps not quite as long as his feet. 2 minutes later he shuffles back in carrying another sweatsuit, and shuffles to the bathroom, with a huge brown stain on his butt and down his leg. He did what he could to clean up in the rest room, and came out wearing the 2nd sweatsuit, carrying the first one sopping wet, apparently partly washed out in the toilet and sink. Threw it into the washing machine, and they unpaused it. Then he found a chair in a corner to hide in while his laundry was done.
i'd had to use their biggest machine for a heavy down comforter, then spent over an hour drying it in a huge dryer. So, I got to see quite a parade of humanity. Not a bad person in the bunch. They just didn't have a washer and drier at their apartments. The laundromat was a social center of sorts, among the regulars. They'd do their laundry at the same time each week, partly to see each other. Stuff you don't realize when you've had laundry at home since 1981.
I also got to hear several of the employee's favorite stories both about laundromat customers, and about her childhood and life. One was how as a little kid, her parents would tell her that if she was bad, they would drop her off at a particular orphanage. She defied them, and told them she knew they wouldn't. So one day, the father drives into the orphanage parking lot and says "We're here. One last chance, do you promise to be good?" Instead of answering, she jumped out of the car, ran up an exterior stairwell to the top of the orphanage, and yells "I'm here. My parents don't want me anymore." She made him chase her all around the orphanage building and grounds to catch her, which of course mortified him, as he tried explaining to everyone that he was sorry his kid was making a commotion. She said that in fact she had always been a pretty good kid, didn't like the threats to keep her behaving, and her parents never threatened her with anything again.
Love your videos, even the sad ones. Let me add one more thing. Burger King Eggnormous breakfast burrito meal. Make sure that you are hungry if you get one.
Hi,Tracie,
Audio is great,
Sounded like lonely,
Trying to catch up to you.
Will send you prayer.
Every time someone says the weather is depressing, I remind them that the Earth was covered in molten rock a few billion years ago, and mostly covered in ice (even the oceans) over a dozen times just in the last 100,000 years.
Before agriculture was invented, “fast food” was US running away from deadly predators as fast as we could … slow Ad-Van-turers Over 50 were at the rear to give the young-uns a chance to run away, survive, and live at least another day.
Most people can do things today that not even the wealthiest monarchs or robber barons could dream of more than 150 years ago. We have pocket-sized devices that allow us to communicate with about 90% of every other person on the planet. For less than a month’s pay, most people can travel to almost anywhere on the planet inside an aluminum tube at nearly the speed of sound in a day or two. Essentially everything that anyone could ever need to know is now available on-line for little-to-no cost, depending on how lazy you are.
Most people are in the embarrassing situation of having too much to eat and drink, and not getting enough physical activity. Climate change isn’t nearly the threat some postulate, as severe weather used to kill an average of upwards of 500,000 people a year, and now it’s less than 10,000. We are within a few generations of the population and civilizations dying out due to distractions that threaten to destroy having enough families. Meanwhile, people are living longer than ever, on average, even with regional wars, pandemics, insufficient physical activity, marginal diets, substance abuse, and crime.
Tracey, imagine if you were a pioneer, you settled down in the middle of nowhere, and within a few years, you lived in a town of over 36,000 friendly neighbors. They wandered up and decided that they liked you enough to stick around and witness your stories of the hilarious, heart-rending, and sometimes just day-to-day trials and tribulations that make up your life.
Well, that’s exactly what’s happened because of you, you will never be alone as far as we’re concerned, and we’ll do our best to keep you from feeling lonely. Despite all of the modern day “problems”, we live in the best time in human history. I hope the above all seems to put things in perspective, Tracey the Hutt!
Isn’t it fun working with the public!!🤣 I have so many 💩stories🤣🤣🤣
So many thoughts about this video! I've been using the same no news, no social media tactic to protect my mental health. I just got back on IG after 3 weeks, and I'm keeping it strictly to funny cat videos. 😸 Similar to you, this will be the first time in a couple of years I won't be taking off in my van for the winter. Even though selling the van was absolutely the right thing for me to do, I do feel a little melancholy about it. Also like you, I can't see 💩 at night and live farther out from things than I'm used to. And speaking of 💩, I'm using that story as a reminder to be grateful I have FULL control of my bowels. 😂 I also feel the way you do about being used to not having friends that I hang out with regularly because I was alone in the van for so long. I wasn't lucky enough to find a little friend group the way you did, but was lucky enough to get to hang out with friends and family along my travels. In between those times, I was alone. I fantasize about living my senior years in a Golden Girls type scenario where we are all close and taking care of each other, but have no idea how I'm going to develop such a group.
Tracey, are you just trying to tell us that shit happens, so don’t look down?!?! 😊😊😊😊.when your video was in slow mo I tried changing my settings to see if it would speed up! It didn’t but it did sound like a new song and fu to try!
Times are so different with people and hanging with your peeps for us all. It’s sad and lonely and ok all at once, very weird! 💜🏠. So now and since COVID I watch my peeps on TH-cam! And it’s so scary what little boundaries folks have!! So very wrong stuff!! Thanks always for being you! 💜🩷
Thank you lol
I thought an entity was trying to talk to me, instead of hearing you....wtf. LOL
What? Is the sound weird or something? Is my voice weird? I didn’t notice it but I didn’t rewatch the whole thing back 😳
Hi Tracy I look forward to seeing your smile and the way you explain your life Journey that it makes me feel as though we are so alike. I wish 1 day you would visit South Jersey and we could get together for a cup of coffee. ❤️You my soul friend.
I watch Eva for years amazing strong woman. The guy found her for she made the mistake and posted information of her friends AirRnB place and said she is close to that place. I am 69 was so excited to retired two years ago and I have never felt so lonely. I live in a city West of downtown Chicago think with all the people in this area I wouldn't have a problem....wrong...
I am dealing with my wife’s dementia and I feel so alone and I get upset with myself because I care for her so much and I know what it’s like to have no one in your life including family ❤❤❤
❤️❤️
Are you wearing hair extensions? Can you make a video on that?
hugs
OOHH my! You are a beautiful T Girl now!!!
I'm 57 and don't drive at night anymore. I have no friends either
Is it odd that a 60 year old man has the same feelings and thoughts as you do Tracey on this subject. There again I don't want to be alone or lonely. But sometimes I really enjoy being alone. It must be our generation, who knows...lol ✌❤😊
FF to 4:01
I'm finally hitting the road in my terms alone 👍🏾😍 on my terms. I understand how changes and transitions in life can be frickin annoying.🧐 Keep moving forward, keep in mind you have people in your life that love you. My best friend since fourth grade is closer to me than any of my blood relatives. You're good and I suspect be alright. Maybe I'll see you down the road sometime.❤ I've been a lone wolf that doesn't mind hanging with a pack occasionally. When I meet up with a pack, I sometimes become the leader without intention. Always chosen by the pack. Free spirit living is attractive to the pack. Lone Wolf 🐺 is alright.
I can relate to what you're saying. Ive been alone for the last 7 years. I have friends but not the type to hang out with. As far as relationships go, not sure i even understand that process anymore. Lol How do you even meet people if you dont hang out on bars? Just saying....you are not alone. 😊❤
Hey lady!
I watch Eva also. Crazy situation. When you feel down, just think of your drain cap and monkeys! Poop and burritos. OH! 😊
You are sure in slow motion!
Best creepy voice on TH-cam !
Oh my gosh! I was wondering why people were saying something! Yikes! I didn’t have time to watch it back because work was so busy! I must have had it on slow mo when I was filming! 🤦♀️ ugh
@ Could you please do that voice when you are dancing in the Walgreens cleaning product aisle?👍
The dark lord seems to be speaking through this video to me.
reminds of the '70's .. Godzilla, Godzilla, Godzilla!!!
