Im 3 years late lol found Mary months ago and fell inlove. I haven’t seen one negative comment but then again what is there to be negative about, she’s amazing
I was going to say ‘what a bummer’ about the relationship ending but when you explained it all I can say is good for you and I will be listening to ‘eurythmics - sisters are doing it for themselves’ in your honour! You’re setting the best example for your boys on how to live your best life and just know a random stranger from Australia thinks you’re super fkn rad! 😂
Mary, I have such great admiration for you in sticking to what you know is right for you. I'm giving you a high-five and a big hug. I love your home, it's very very welcoming. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us, it really is a treat to get to know you better. 💕
Too many women think they need a man in their life to make it whole. Nope. Not for me anyway. I am married and have been for almost 16 years, but if I wasn't, I wouldn't spend my life looking for a man that demands I change who I am to suit them. If they really love you, you shouldn't have to be or do anything different and stop doing what you love to keep them in your life. Kudos to you for putting your kids and yourself first!!
Congratulations on being almost debt free, that's so exciting!! I'm sorry to hear that your relationship didn't work out but you should be so proud of yourself for putting yourself first, you really deserve to be happy and to spend your time doing things you love. Can't wait for that Charity video!
I am high fiving you sister 👋🏻 I said “Hell yeah” out loud for you when you said you aren’t sacrificing your happiness 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Good for you woman I love that!! Keep doing you❤️
Oh, Mary. This was a wonderful video. Your videos play such a big role in my life and inspire me deeply. Thank you so much for opening up your lives to us 💜
Hey Mary. Would you be able to film some more outside in your garden? I live in doomy gloomy England and hearing the birds singing with the sun out is extremely relaxing and brings me a lot of joy (I suffer from SAD and just viewing videos of sunlight seems to really help me). Thanks so much for all your great videos!! xx
I love your beautiful home Mary. You are my most favourite asmrtist. I appreciate all your hard work. You have made the right decision for you and your boys. You are a lovely mum. We have red squirrels here. I live in the uk on a tiny island in north wales called Anglesey. It is a beautiful island with lots of stunning beaches. We also have an Aldi close by. Some of the stores you have are fabulous. It’s sunny here today. Which also makes me happy. Enjoy the rest of your day huni and I look forward to your next video. Love from the uk. xxx
The mystery magazine thing has happened to me too, and I realized it was places I made online purchases from that had automatically signed me up as like a “gift with purchase” thing.
Congratulations, Mary. I don't know a woman who hasn't been asked to give up a part of herself for a man. I too have decided never to erase myself for anyone. It is empowering and I am happy. I am glad you are too.
Do you make money off your videos? I’m not entirely sure how that all works but I don’t ever come across ads on your page. You put so much work into your videos, and you upload so much, I think you should be rewarded from it! Idk just my thought lol❤️
WAIT A MINUTE! You have 2 strappin' boys and YOU"RE mowing the lawn!!!? It's so good that you are able recognize and stand up for what is best for you. That is why you are able to be so generous and giving. You're so intelligent, creative, and productive. I can see why TH-cam is such an important outlet for you.
Mary, It was wise that you saw that red flag in the relationship. My first husband turned out to be abusive. He slowly isolated me from everything in my life that didn't involve him. It got to the point that I didn't even talk on the phone or read a book. Looking back I didn't even realize it at the time but I would avoid these things because it put him in a bad mood. If I was on the phone with someone he would start pacing around the house very restless until I got off the phone. Needless to say our marriage did not last long.
Hey Mary I'll tell you what I did about my squirrel issue. I had a bird feeder as well and the squirrels were eating the seed so knowing that I could never kill any living creatures I actually set up another feeder in my yard for the squirrels. I know people say don't feed the squirrels as they become a problem but I've never had any trouble with them since I gave them their own feeder. I buy huge bags on peanuts still in the shells and put a bunch of them out there every two or three days and it's helped keep the little devils away from the bird feeder. I've watched them out there. They grab a bunch of peanuts and bury them all over the yard and by the time they're done they have no use for the bird seed. It may not work for everyone but it worked for me. I figure if someone has the money to buy bird seed, which can get quite expensive, then they can probably afford to buy bags of peanuts which are actually cheaper than the seed. Just my two cents. By the way my cats won't play with any toys I buy them either they prefer playing with beer bottle caps and the little plastic things that come off orange juice bottles.
Hi Mary! Therese here from Ireland. If you would ever like to come to Dublin please get in touch. You are my favourite blogger ever, your style is the most natural and I find that way more relaxing than the other ASMR artists. Can I have your PO Box to send you a ST Patrick's Day gift? X
There's a difference between concessions and sacrifices. One should never sacrifice anything for anyone : as a matter of fact, those who truly love you and care for your happiness will never ask you to. So...go, you! You look very happy to me and I hope that you'll keep smiling the way you do while enjoying your family time and passions in life! Xox
You're very strong for prioritising your wants and needs over what someone else is asking of you - always always fight for what matters to you! Go Mary!!!! p.s your house and cats are fantastic
For your squirrel issue: my family uses cayenne pepper (like the powder) on the trees. It deters squirrels without hurting them, but it doesn’t effect birds, so you’ll still have them. They don’t like the smell. Love your videos!
Good for you with picking what you love over a relationship. The right person will support you and not want you to quit everything. I’ve learned that also.
I specifically looked for a feeder easy for squirrels to use. I put it out on the patio for the cat and dog to watch, sort of like Squirrel TV. The cat and dog sit by the sliding glass door while waiting for their meals and watch the squirrels. They're more entertaining to the boys than the birds are. And the squirrels are freaking smart. They use their little hands to open the top of the feeder and knock it on it's side. I get a kick out of watching them jump from tree to tree, onto a roof, down to the lawn and making a b-line to the feeder. Frankly, watching the squirrels is the only thing my cat and dog do together that doesn't involve them jockeying for position on the dog bed. Okay, so I did used to have a more exciting life. 😊
Oh Mary, of all the videos I've watched and been catching up on - these older videos and - this just hit different. I'm in a similar situation right now and not only did I get comfort through ASMR, I got a lot more then I knew I would. I appreciate you sharing your story. Sometimes you just gotta choose your boys and yourself. Look at where you are now! I'll give myself a few years too ❤
I can appreciate his point of view. I love how you prioritized yourself and didn't get rid of what you care about just to stay in a relationship. More people should do that. The right person for you will have a life that fits with yours. My husband and I work because we've always lived the same way and wanted the same things. Our favorite thing is spending time together, so we do that above most other things. But that would drive some people crazy!!! Everyone is different. Love your house, cats, and you! xoxoxo Want to read your old book and the new one!
Your squirrel problem reminds me of my toddlers favorite book called, "Those darn squirrels!" About and old man who likes feeding birds in his backyard but the squirrels always eat all the food so he keeps trying more and more elaborate mechanisms to keep the squirrels from being able to get to the feeders and the squirrels find elaborate ways around them. It's super cute
I was so sad to hear about John Mahoney dying too :(. He was wonderful. I learnt so much about family and relationships from that show!! Haha. Your house looks fantastic!
I wasn't looking for a pep talk when I opened this video, I just wanted a relaxing house tour. But now that I'm getting divorced, the words you shared towards the end of the video hit me hard. Thanks for the inspiration, Mary! Keep doing what you love because we love you!
I wish I’d had your clarity of self when my two children were younger. I felt like I’d “failed” at marriage with my first husband, their father, so rushed into another marriage for the chance to make it right. I assumed that if I was happy, my children should be too. In hindsight, I wish I’d waited to date until they were older. Both are well-adjusted adults now - and my second marriage lasted seven years before we both realized we’d gone into it for the wrong reasons. You have my respect for following your instincts!
Wow. Sounds like a selfish guy. If he was telling you to choose between him, and things you enjoy doing, hes got some maturing to do. Guys like that, not worth it. Im glad you made the right choice :) Love the video. :)
Your relationship speech hit home. Sacrifice time with family and doing what I want to please them and its still never enough. Its always something. Gonna focus on me now. You go girl. Love your videos. You are a great momma
I love your realness. Thank you for being you! It's so refreshing and we thank you for giving us peace in our chaotic lives! You're making a difference in my life with the asmr! I am a recovering drug addict and alcoholic and you give me relaxation after a long day ❤️❤️❤️🧡🧡🧡 I'm grateful for you lady !!!!! Thank you
Thank you for sharing Mary. I have seen so much growth for you in the last year and love that nothing is going to stop you from living your life the way you want. Not the trolls, the haters, and especially those in your life who can envision what you are trying to do. You go girl!!!
Watching this video from 2 years ago right now and can relate to much of what you described about your relationships. Thank you so much for sharing so openly and authentically! Your kids, your job, your goals, your hobbies - that is all very important! Thank you for showing us how strong you are, it is very inspiring. Much blessings from Germany :)
Hate when somebody comes into our life and it's always about them. Like why cant they just chill & go with the flow... your flow? You made the right decision. Keep on doing what you love... your videos are fun to watch. Love the shopping ones and the painting and your soft voice. I've watched alot of ASMR over the years... it helps me sleep. (Gentle Whispering, TingTing, Tony Bondoni, I think i started with Heather Feather). Happy New Year... Be safe and God Bless.
Mary I remember when you went to have a look around your home when you were looking for a place to call home I must say you definitely made this house your home
I'm happy you're focusing on your own happiness that's very important! I love hearing your updates in your life and seeing how much your life is improving I'm so happy for you!
He probably wasn't okay with that and either thought he was or that it wasn't that big a deal. That's what many insecure people do. (And I'm not attacking him; I used to be an insecure person to and that was MY line of thinking; though I made an effort to not do that to the point where not doing it is second nature to me.) The forecast here is nothing but wind, rain, and snow.
Thanks for sharing some of your life with us and giving us an update! Thank you so much for everything you do for us :) It truly helps a lot! The house is looking great too btw. I've recently moved too, although to an apartment and I really enjoy the process of decorating and getting the place looking how I like it to look. I hope you'll keep us posted on your process as in the future too.
Your home is so so so absolutely beautiful, and the fact that you still go to goodwill when you don't look like you need to is AMAZING. You are so humble. You are beautiful, you have a pure soul, and everything in between. You are loved in Magnolia, Delaware. ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
We have squirrels on our feeders, as well! I’ve just come to embrace them. They need to eat, too :) I also throw the seeds through the grass so there’s no climbing and all the birds/squirrels etc. can just go through and get what they want. It’s really cool to see all the wildlife come into the yard.
You have such a lovely home and you are such an incredible inspiration!! I truly find comfort in watching your videos each day and thank you for your dedication to uploading. Ps you could freeze individual slices of that big cake in plastic wrap and then anytime you or the boys feel like a treat, you can take out a slice :) do that all the time!
Mary, good for you. More woman need to do this. As woman, moms and wives we always put everyone and everything else first. My son's autistic, my one and only child, and my life revolves around him and for 18 yrs my ex who never did a thing for me. So now I'm remarried to a man who gets along great with my son, and ex.....i made sure we were all friends for my sons sake, and my new hubby has his life revolve around me and my son and its just amazing. So here's to you finding a man who revolves his life around yours because its high time us women get back what we always put in!!!!
Hello from Buffalo, NY. Love you talking about mowing the grass in February and those kitties are lovely! Really enjoy your channel and I actually said "how dare he" when you were sharing your status. All the best to you Mary. Thank you so much for your videos.
If the person you are with doesn’t support the things you do and are passionate about, he’s not the one for you. I’m sorry about your relationship Mary, do what makes you happy! 😌
Don't ever stop being you, you ROCK!!!....enjoy your wonderful kids and love yourself for your uniqueness. Perhaps in North Carolina your creativity just isn't embraced as it is in other parts of the country and world. 💃👍🎈
It was really lovely watching this & learning about you & your life, thank you for sharing(: & I'm glad you stood your ground & realised your worth with regards to your relationship, you're such a strong lady & a genuine & wonderful soul! Love from Wales, UK🥰❤
Sounds like you got it figured out Mary. Whomever would ask you to give up what you love needs to get a life themselves. Hang in there and focus on the things that make you who you are. Don't ever change.
You are such a strong woman! Thank you for this video , you are amazing as you are. You are inspiration for me, thank you for your channel. Thank you for being you ❤️
I love the colors of your walls. The dark brown & purple! Love it! I also really like the hard wood floors. Very nice! Thanks for letting us inside of your world! I find the squirrel thing hilarious! What entertainment! Ps I love Frasier too!
Feel as you do in cemeteries. To me they are very peaceful and calm. I enjoy to walk trough them, read head stones, and even de-weed graves and pick up trash. By the time I leave I am stress free.
I had the squirrel issue as well! I bought a bird feeder that is squirrel proof, every time a squirrel hops on the top of the feeder comes down blocking the hole to the bird seed. You can purchase these at Wild Birds Unlimited. I felt bad for the squirrels so I would just leave moldy bread on the ground for them. Another solution is buying sewet. It's a type of bird food that comes in a block and is held together by a grease type substance. I noticed are not to fond of it! Hope this works...... !!!! :)
Fascinating video lovely house your right about your relationship men can be obsessive just be happy you make many of us happy across the world xx By the way who wouldn't want to be with someone like you x
I'm sorry that your relationship did not work out. However i totally agree that no one should ever stop you from doing what you love. Keep on keeping on. Luv ya!
Mary Higgins fives for being a strong independent woman! God will send you someone deserving of you. I didn’t know squirrels were so clever. 😂 Hopefully the grease does the trick. One suggestion (out of love) have you ever considered putting a collar and tag on your cat that likes to venture outside... just in case she ever wanders off a little far? You obviously know them best though. ❤️
Yes! No need to sacrifice your needs and values (which are healthy and positive) for someone who isn’t supportive. I hope your strength inspires others (especially women) to take control of their lives too! Is your first book published? Have you shared it with us so we can purchase it? Thanks for all you do!
Just discovered you and this video came up on autoplay while I was working and I had just heard in the background your comments on your relationship. Bravo! We're close in age, single moms to school-age kids and I just think you're pretty awesome. :)
Just in case no one has said it, magazines will often send free copies for multiple reasons: so they can say they have x number of subscribers, you might have been subscribed to another magazine so they’re trying to advertise to you, they’re looking at neighborhood demographics, etc. You can go online and search for your customer information and it will show your “subscription,” which you can cancel.
Love all of your videos :) and yes you should always make yourself and your kids a priority first plus the person who loves you and supports you will not make you change he will support your TH-cam channel and maybe even help with the videos
I am really glad you picked what was important to you and your kids, that is VERY IMPORTANT. I love your house and it was really exciting to see the set up of your library video. I LOVE THAt one and it is my go to a lot. The squrill problem is a pain. I hop the oil worked. I have a window that is two stories up , because of my basement, and it has a flat feeder for the birds. One day I watched a squrril ( i don't know how to spell that) so I watched as that critter climbed the chimney and then jumped to get on that feeder. Ot was amazing and a little depressing lol. The cat clock is so cute, and your room is so big mine is pretty small. I was sorry to see that you have disabled the comments in your newer videos. So sorry you had to do that because of nasty people. I remember in an older video you said you were thinking of not doing youtube because of the bad comments. Thank you for not stopping this it really helps me get to sleep. I am glad you are happy in your new house and that you are now debt free. I really hope you were able to get your car. Take care of yourself and the boys.
Your comment section is so positive. It reflects the positive energy your personality attracts.
Im 3 years late lol found Mary months ago and fell inlove. I haven’t seen one negative comment but then again what is there to be negative about, she’s amazing
I was going to say ‘what a bummer’ about the relationship ending but when you explained it all I can say is good for you and I will be listening to ‘eurythmics - sisters are doing it for themselves’ in your honour! You’re setting the best example for your boys on how to live your best life and just know a random stranger from Australia thinks you’re super fkn rad! 😂
Mary, I have such great admiration for you in sticking to what you know is right for you. I'm giving you a high-five and a big hug. I love your home, it's very very welcoming. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us, it really is a treat to get to know you better. 💕
Lady Green Eyes she has 2 older sons I think a lot of the allure and warmth is the “mommy” in her 💖
Queen Mummy I agree 😊💕
@@LadyGreenEyes are you the one who sent some lovely earrings for SassE, a few years ago? Love & hugs
@@joaca-tecumine6037 Yes, I am 😀
@@LadyGreenEyes i remembered you from one of her videos :)
You have a lovely house! 😊✨
I watch your vids lol
My faves together thank you both for your timeeee and lovely videos!!!💙

1971browneyes amen!!
The squirrel story killed me ...they said “we all gotta eat”🐿🐿🐿🐿
Only a very insecure person would make you choose. You deserve the very best, someone who will encourage your passions and want to grow with you! ❤️
Congratulations on being almost debt free, that's so exciting!! I'm sorry to hear that your relationship didn't work out but you should be so proud of yourself for putting yourself first, you really deserve to be happy and to spend your time doing things you love. Can't wait for that Charity video!

You look very happy to me and I hope that you'll keep smiling the way you do while enjoying your family time and passions in life! Xox
You are an example of strength and focus ! I admire you lot
You're very strong for prioritising your wants and needs over what someone else is asking of you - always always fight for what matters to you! Go Mary!!!! p.s your house and cats are fantastic
I admire your strength in remaining true to yourself! I agree, kids are the top priority!
I love your natural positivity Mary! You seem like a great mom. And your just so relaxing to listen to because you’re so well spoken. 😌

How does any man walk into someone’s life and think they can change someone’s life around? Blows my mind
Jessica Wright you would be surprised men usually want things 70%-%80 their way
I love your chair it looks super comfortable. Ppl say I have a lot of DVDs but I see you're a collector too. Your home is lovely, Mary.
Im in love with your cats! So funny 😍🐱💞

(And I'm not attacking him; I used to be an insecure person to and that was MY line of thinking; though I made an effort to not do that to the point where not doing it is second nature to me.)
The forecast here is nothing but wind, rain, and snow.
Oh my god you have a beautiful house! And I am LIVING for the back yard!!!
Your house is beautiful. Ahhh, hard wood floors! I love your cats.
Please do the transformation video! That’s exciting!
And what a beautiful house!
Skyleon that would be so fun!
Thanks for sharing some of your life with us and giving us an update! Thank you so much for everything you do for us :) It truly helps a lot! The house is looking great too btw. I've recently moved too, although to an apartment and I really enjoy the process of decorating and getting the place looking how I like it to look. I hope you'll keep us posted on your process as in the future too.
Your home is so so so absolutely beautiful, and the fact that you still go to goodwill when you don't look like you need to is AMAZING. You are so humble. You are beautiful, you have a pure soul, and everything in between. You are loved in Magnolia, Delaware. ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you for your time Mary, you keep doing what makes you happy.
We have squirrels on our feeders, as well! I’ve just come to embrace them. They need to eat, too :) I also throw the seeds through the grass so there’s no climbing and all the birds/squirrels etc. can just go through and get what they want. It’s really cool to see all the wildlife come into the yard.
that cat clock is genuinely the most relaxing 'tick' I've ever heard! 😍 😍
You have such a lovely home and you are such an incredible inspiration!! I truly find comfort in watching your videos each day and thank you for your dedication to uploading. Ps you could freeze individual slices of that big cake in plastic wrap and then anytime you or the boys feel like a treat, you can take out a slice :) do that all the time!
Dear Mary, good for you that you realise what you do in every relationship, give yourself the room to grow😘
Beautiful cats! Oh yes and show and tell us about the bus xx
Yes to the video showing us the Volkswagen! Lots of love Mary, you are a beautiful person.💜
Mary, good for you. More woman need to do this. As woman, moms and wives we always put everyone and everything else first. My son's autistic, my one and only child, and my life revolves around him and for 18 yrs my ex who never did a thing for me. So now I'm remarried to a man who gets along great with my son, and ex.....i made sure we were all friends for my sons sake, and my new hubby has his life revolve around me and my son and its just amazing. So here's to you finding a man who revolves his life around yours because its high time us women get back what we always put in!!!!
Your kitties are so Beautiful. Thank you for not trying to kill the squirrels 💕
Hello from Buffalo, NY. Love you talking about mowing the grass in February and those kitties are lovely! Really enjoy your channel and I actually said "how dare he" when you were sharing your status. All the best to you Mary. Thank you so much for your videos.
My eyes just lit up. Frasier is my very favorite show. I was so sad to hear about John 😢
You are awesome and my hero. I'm do glad you are doing well. And your cats are silliest cuties.
If the person you are with doesn’t support the things you do and are passionate about, he’s not the one for you. I’m sorry about your relationship Mary, do what makes you happy! 😌
Just a sidenote: I would watch the hell out of a cat soccer league.
Don't ever stop being you, you ROCK!!!....enjoy your wonderful kids and love yourself for your uniqueness. Perhaps in North Carolina your creativity just isn't embraced as it is in other parts of the country and world. 💃👍🎈
Your house is so lovely❤️ I could listen to you all day
It was really lovely watching this & learning about you & your life, thank you for sharing(: & I'm glad you stood your ground & realised your worth with regards to your relationship, you're such a strong lady & a genuine & wonderful soul! Love from Wales, UK🥰❤
What a beautiful and cosy home you have Mary. Love you queen of thrifts store!! and.. Thanks for making me sleep well every night🙆🏻❤️
Sounds like you got it figured out Mary. Whomever would ask you to give up what you love needs to get a life themselves. Hang in there and focus on the things that make you who you are. Don't ever change.
Your cats are so sweet and beautiful 💕and your house is so clean😊
Cats and wood floors. You have both of those and you have entertainment.
You are such a strong woman! Thank you for this video , you are amazing as you are. You are inspiration for me, thank you for your channel. Thank you for being you ❤️
I love the colors of your walls. The dark brown & purple! Love it! I also really like the hard wood floors. Very nice! Thanks for letting us inside of your world! I find the squirrel thing hilarious! What entertainment! Ps I love Frasier too!
Feel as you do in cemeteries. To me they are very peaceful and calm. I enjoy to walk trough them, read head stones, and even de-weed graves and pick up trash. By the time I leave I am stress free.
So pretty, Mary! Love the sounds of the birds chirping.....how peaceful.
I had the squirrel issue as well! I bought a bird feeder that is squirrel proof, every time a squirrel hops on the top of the feeder comes down blocking the hole to the bird seed. You can purchase these at Wild Birds Unlimited. I felt bad for the squirrels so I would just leave moldy bread on the ground for them. Another solution is buying sewet. It's a type of bird food that comes in a block and is held together by a grease type substance. I noticed are not to fond of it! Hope this works...... !!!! :)
You deserve a man who will be so happy just to have you in his life, because he will love everything about your life...and what makes you YOU...x
Fascinating video lovely house your right about your relationship men can be obsessive just be happy you make many of us happy across the world xx By the way who wouldn't want to be with someone like you x
I'm sorry that your relationship did not work out. However i totally agree that no one should ever stop you from doing what you love. Keep on keeping on. Luv ya!
Lovely house great taste my house coffee colours great video beautiful glass piece I decorated my lamp stuck rabbit from wall paper
You should def do a video on the LEGO car thinggyyy seems so cool
Great chat Mary!❤️ GOOD FOR YOU💋❤️ the RIGHT ONE will come along!❤️ Love ya & Proud of ya💚🌹❤️
Mary Higgins fives for being a strong independent woman! God will send you someone deserving of you. I didn’t know squirrels were so clever. 😂 Hopefully the grease does the trick. One suggestion (out of love) have you ever considered putting a collar and tag on your cat that likes to venture outside... just in case she ever wanders off a little far? You obviously know them best though. ❤️
Yes! No need to sacrifice your needs and values (which are healthy and positive) for someone who isn’t supportive. I hope your strength inspires others (especially women) to take control of their lives too!
Is your first book published? Have you shared it with us so we can purchase it?
Thanks for all you do!
I love your table and chairs! So unique
I really like this kind of vlog videos hope you do it always 😊
Just discovered you and this video came up on autoplay while I was working and I had just heard in the background your comments on your relationship. Bravo! We're close in age, single moms to school-age kids and I just think you're pretty awesome. :)
Just in case no one has said it, magazines will often send free copies for multiple reasons: so they can say they have x number of subscribers, you might have been subscribed to another magazine so they’re trying to advertise to you, they’re looking at neighborhood demographics, etc. You can go online and search for your customer information and it will show your “subscription,” which you can cancel.
Mary, You are absolutely hilarious! Love watching and listening to you! Keep it up!
Love all of your videos :) and yes you should always make yourself and your kids a priority first plus the person who loves you and supports you will not make you change he will support your TH-cam channel and maybe even help with the videos
Good for you Mary...You take care of yourself and your kids!
I am really glad you picked what was important to you and your kids, that is VERY IMPORTANT. I love your house and it was really exciting to see the set up of your library video. I LOVE THAt one and it is my go to a lot. The squrill problem is a pain. I hop the oil worked. I have a window that is two stories up , because of my basement, and it has a flat feeder for the birds. One day I watched a squrril ( i don't know how to spell that) so I watched as that critter climbed the chimney and then jumped to get on that feeder. Ot was amazing and a little depressing lol. The cat clock is so cute, and your room is so big mine is pretty small. I was sorry to see that you have disabled the comments in your newer videos. So sorry you had to do that because of nasty people. I remember in an older video you said you were thinking of not doing youtube because of the bad comments. Thank you for not stopping this it really helps me get to sleep. I am glad you are happy in your new house and that you are now debt free. I really hope you were able to get your car. Take care of yourself and the boys.
