You guys have NO idea how beneficial a tax funded health care system can be for most individuals. And it’s easy to find fault with individual cases or situations because bad things can happen at all levels of care. But if we in Australia had to pay directly every time a loved one was hospitalised, which over 99% of us don’t have to do, we’d have all been dead decades ago. Nobody here on any income level has to pay for emergency or necessary surgery or health care, except those who choose to take out private health insurance for whatever reason, and hundreds, perhaps thousands of lives are saved every day as a direct result of our decision to have a Medicare system. Yes it’s been eroded time and time again by right wing parties when in government but what’s left still works well for most patients. I’m not Canadian, I don’t have Steve’s chronic back problems, and perhaps I shouldn’t comment on Michelle’s comment that the Canadian health care system only seems to care for people that don’t take care of themselves, but that opinion is very surprising..
@@stevegunning1806, does everyone in Australia pay taxes ? In America , approximately 47% of the population do not pay federal income tax , yes they do pay tax on things in their everyday life , but not to the federal government. Thomas Sowell wrote that , when a third party is paying the bill, they neither care about the cost or the quality of the product being provided , because they are not actually paying for it .
Hi Michelle, I just recently had the seventh surgery on my leg that was mangled in a head-on collision. Not my fault, wrong place wrong time. It has been frustrating at times but it is finally improving. I will never be able to do some of the things I used to do but I have accepted that. I spent a lot of time watching TH-cam clips and found yours a while back. Thank you for being down to earth and sharing your life. For me it has been motivational and I am sure for others as well. I hope Steve makes a full recovery. You both are blessed to have each other and to live in such a beautiful place. Stay safe and by the way I am a huge animal lover as well.I used to volunteer my time with a rescue group. Those days are over but I can still make a difference by adopting shelter animals!
Thanks for posting...as an engineer I can relate to Steve's apparent lack of expressing enthusiasm for what you do...we can be immensely impressed but also somewhat stoic. I believe Steve shows his care for you by helping when you ask while otherwise not getting involved and giving you the "freedom" and support to do what's important to you and the things that you like to do....He lets you be yourself....
At 79 yrs old I have been on Lyrica for 20 yrs, for severe peripheral neuropathy, caused by a year of Tx with Enterfiron (Sp). Lyrica makes the nerve pain tolerable, but a delayed or missed dose brings the agony right back. Seeing Steve working on the pump in his bathrobe is a testament of his determination and resilience. I say hang in there buddy, you"re on the mend. I too enjoy your "little projects", which are very entertaining, with Foxy Loxy, being my favorite. Keep up the good work, Michelle.
Wow, what an amazing coincidence. My main guy that works for me in my Remodeling business, is going thru what Steve is dealing with, as we speak. It may not be identical, but I can say to everyone, that back problems are SO debilitating and painful. Its one of those things that you cant even relate to, unless you are wearing those shoes. So I wish a BIG shout out to Steve, to just hang in there and try to get well soon. Michelle, you did a great job on the hot tub. Man I bet that felt so amazing, and it was well deserved. Take good care of yourselves, you guys. Better times are ahead!
The hottub by the stream time is for you and very important to your overall well-being and that of those who share your life. Best to Steve for a pain free recovery. Great ride on your Grizzly through the woods. Superb video. Thank you. 🇺🇸🚜
Being from Quebec, I hear your pain, our health care is dismal here too. I’ve had a similar situation with varicose veins and chose to go private because of the archaic procedure and waiting list offered by the system. I’m happy Steve is on the mends and keep on pumping out your videos, it’s your outlet
Thanks for sharing this gentle update on Steve. I suspected your absent post this past Sunday was attributable to ALL THE DEMANDS on your time. Love your hippie hot tub. A pool noodle split lengthwise and attached to the rim would augment your headrest. Wishing you, Steve and your furry kids a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings together. Peace princess
I find the things you value and share with us to be touching, motivational, and inspirational. ... and dogs. Always dogs.Be well, regards and a speedy recovery to Steve.
I had a laminectomy of T4-T7 in May 2023 at UW in Seattle too. My surgery has provided a stop to the degeneration, but I still have the nerve damage that had occurred. It's a slow and frustrating process so take care of yourself, and ask Steve to take care of himself too, physically and mentally. It's a change of pace, but hopeful for a positive outcome. Like you said, it's a process. I can't imagine the stress of getting in a car for that long right after surgery to return home... where it's quiet and calm. Cheers
9:20 Your explanation of why you do these videos is exactly why I watch. I also enjoy your quirky side and you embracing your sexy side. I appreciate all work you do to make this content. Steve is a fortunate man.
Hope Steve gets a quick recovery! Always take the "Me time" you need and for that matter, always prioritize the needs of yourself and Steve before the videos. We will wait... We highly appreciate all that you do to share with us as so many of us live vicariously through seeing your projects! Take care...
It's good to see you being able to relax a little with all going on in your lives right now. Appreciate the Steve update, continued prayers for his recovery. Great video-you are amazing!
Been watching your channel since the beginning of your cabin build on the edge of the cliff's! And for me, it's worth it! Thanks for sharing! And all my prayers for Steve's recovery. And prayers for you as well. ❤ Hopefully, now that Steve's mended and in less pain his intrest in all your projects and beauty rekindles itself! Lots of hugs from El Paso Texas!
UV kills the nylon eventually. They make stainless steel zip ties! I use them in the desert southwest sun. You're the toughest gal I've seen on youtube and a true inspiration. Thanks for sharing your life and passions.
Michele! Don’t feel bad about taking a little time for yourself. That’s just as important as your loving care for Steve and the all the fur babies! You can rest assured that all of us appreciate all that you do for us in the end. Please keep up the great content, stay safe and take care lady!! Good job Bear!
Tell Steve I had a slow recovery from an L5-S1 when I was in my 30's, so just be patient. After 3 months the nerves finally calmed down and it just got better with time. The fact that he had multi-level and was able to be up helping you with that pump is a good sign!
L5-S1 fusion survivor here as well, but mine was at 49 years old! The biggest challenge for me has been trying to lose weight and get back to my previous levels of activity. Fusion is not a small deal, thats for sure. Good luck to you and to Steve!!
He spent the first 3-4 days upstairs, in bed, unable to get downstairs. Day helping with the pump was Monday - one of his best days so far! I think we need change medications again though 😏
Hi I have been a para for 23 years , 21 years using Gabapentin ( a pregabalin ) I tried Lyrica when it came out about 16 years ago. I found that it messed up my head , just affected my thought process badly. I went back to Gabapentin 4 TD and changed dosage until I found the balance between pain and being able to function. Still have nerve pain at the level of my injury but at least I’m not slurring my words.
As far as I can see, you live in heaven. I'd give up everything to have a life like yours. I love working with my hands on handyman projects and woodworking and can definitely see myself doing stuff like you do. I hope you keep doing what you do and sharing with us all those parts of your life I've come to love so much. Best wishes to Steve for a complete and comfortable healing.
Michelle, Thank you as always for sharing your life, you and Steve are wonderful people 🫶🏻 Praying 🙏🏻 for Steve's recovery, and always for the well being of both of you, the Pups 🐶 🐾and 🐈⬛too 😊God Bless my friends 🙏🏻 Appreciate you ! 🫶🏻
Well engineered box, Michelle. You built it out of decent plywood, to begin with. That helps. I'm sorry Steve is still in pain. Glad the Lyrica is helping though. I know he's frustrated... and being in constant pain, will depress anyone. Nerves are tricky things... and their healing is complicated. "Normal" is a relative term... particularly when it comes to pain. Good to see you out, and doing "Michy" things around the place. For whatever it's worth, thank you for sharing. I haven't watched every video you've put out... yet. I will, though. As a long-haul trucker, I have limited time at home, but your TH-cam channel is my favorite. What a great channel this one is. Love watching the dogs, and your projects. As time moves on, your videographer skills are improving. I continually look forward to viewing your content.
i for one am happy to alleviate your loneliness, as you have done so for me, especially during covid. i purchased a woodland mill primarily because of your posts, and your devotion to your furry family is something that resonates with me, an adopter of a mutt (black lab/doberman mix) that was my companion for 17 years. love your work and work ethic.
Even though Steve doesn't share all your adventures, for us you make a difference. Hot tub in the forest, what could be better. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and hope you stay enthused enough to continue. Thanks for Steve's surgery info, now 70, with spinal stenosis at L3, L4, L5 and walking 10-20 yards without a break is painful, I expect to have some form of it down the road. Not looking forward to it but it doesn't stop me from doing what I want. It just may take longer. Good luck to Steve. And good luck to you in your one person hot tub.
As the other already said, you and your channel is affecting many people out there. And I'm surely one of them. Love all your projects, dogs and cat, enviroment, creativity, stubbornness and endurance (in a good way of course. Haha..), dry and stiff humor, sensivity, video editing ability, taste and choise of music (in your videos), and of course; energy and life curiosity! We are quite many Michygoss fans - more than 127 000 - loving you and your channel. Love from Sweden - Gothenburg (the capital of Volvo)! ♥
Thanks for sharing, my wife had a similar surgery long recovery but she’s alive. Wishing a speedy recovery to Steve and you need to take time for yourself.
Lovely Mitchy. The very first time I watched your channel and found out you where a nurse, I knew you where a True Warrior. We both know it takes a special someone to be a nurse. Steve is blessed to have such a beautiful woman taking care of him. You’re smart and very creative. I will always watch your content . Shit I call some of your episodes reruns because I rewatch em. I even unlike em so I can like em after the rerun ends. 😊🌹 never quit beautiful always know you are appreciated, valued, adored, admired and yes Very much Loved. 💯 your never alone I mean that and I’m sure others feel the same way . ❤️ Michy it is worth it. Thank you for sharing the little you do about your life. Know that I’m always left smiling and wanting to know more. 😊 I pray Steve has a speedy recovery . 🙏🏼 keep up the amazing work. 🌹
I’m glad you share your projects. I’m on my own now and love working on my property with two retired horses and two dogs. There is always something to do and my fur family love all the attention. Keep doing it Mitchy. It matters and will keep you going. Cheers 😊
Michy soup! I loved this episode. I am forever grateful that you spend the time to capture your slice of life for the rest of us. Experiencing what you're up to feeds my soul and serves as a getaway from the daily grind. The projects, the pups and the solace have a very calming influence. THats a testament to what you're doing and also how you're able to capture it on film. While Steve and you do your own thing thats what makes relationships work and if he were more a part of these videos it would change what they are. Mind you , I did enjoy your boat series a lot, but your normal content is perfect. Here's hoping Steve has a speedy recovery
Hi Michelle, best wishes for speedy recovery for Steve, nice seeing you again Michelle you stay strong and it was nice to see you soothing yourself in the hot tub, soaking away your troubles, sleepwell Michelle see you next time🥂😗
"Luckily I have this shed" (Cheshire grin! Lol!) Hope Steve feels better soon. I'm sure there are others that love your videos as much as I do. Seeing all the projects you do, the cliff cabin, the saw mill, the shed, and just being out in nature away from traffic and people, seems like a really great thing to me, that's why I watch. Thanks Michygoss!
Hi ya IIm glad Steve is out of the woods it takes so long to recover from something like that. Try and stay positive I love your videos you always make me smile 😃 god bless.
Michy, I look forward to your videos and the work you do!! Your the reason I got my own mill and learned to mill and build. There's no failure in trying. Please never stop creating I just love it!
I really enjoy your channel/content. I'm glad you show that things don't always go smoothly. Creators seem to edit out the FUps and I'm left to wonder if I'm the only one that takes two steps forward and one back. Thank you for keeping it real. I'm a doer like you and would love to have a "handy" woman to share my projects with. Good health to you both.
MORNING LADY! IM SO GLAD TO SEE STEVE DOING WELL AND IN GOOD SPIRITS.SO GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK,I MISSED YA! GOOD THOUGHTS AND LOVE TO YALL AND THE FUR BABIES FROM TEXAS. GET YOU A FOOT LONG PIECE OF FOAM PIPE WRAP,WILL MAKE A GREAT NECK REST
Good morning Michelle! My first time being first! So happy to see your're back. I hope Steve is feeling better. I'm sure he's feeling grateful for all the care and love you've been giving him during his recovery. Hope all is well at home with you and your four-legged furbabies. Thank you for all that you do! ❤ ☮️ on 🌎
Glad Steve is getting better and got the right surgery. I agree with you about our Healthcare and I know a lot of people will disagree with me but we need private healthcare in this country. If I can afford it then why should I not get it without having to travel. 34% of my income goes to tax while our EMR’s are overran, wait times for surgeries can be months sometimes years. Something has to change.
Incredible Lady! Lots of Beautiful Thoughts and a Great Adventure Attitude! Love Your Videos! Great and Scenic location you Live Life In! Envious, I’m always Working Away from My Loved Ones! U Rock! Thank U for the Cool Content! Cheers from Wisconsin!
The quads are nice, but for versatility the mules are tops. I've used both (plowing, beach detail, etc...) and there is no comparison. The quads look cool, but the mule is called the "mule" (various companies have different names for the truck type) for a very good reason. Glad to hear Steve got the operation and it was non-invasive. I hope he finds some relief soon. He's tough, but back pain is the worst when you are a very active person. Neat hot tub! 😉👍Hi, doggos and kitty!
Wishing Steve a full and speedier recovery. Take it from an advancing geezer, back pain really sucks. Did anyone else keep expecting Bugs Bunny or Yosemite Sam to run out of the woods and start whacking up carrots in your "Hot Tub"?
Old Clyde is lucky to have you as #1 Dog Mom! I'm pretty sure we would all watch you sharpen a pencil or what ever else you decide to work on. Go Team Witchy Mitchy! Hope that Steve makes a full and speedy recovery.
Wishing Steve a timely recovery. We had L4 L5 done years ago and recovery has been pretty good. Unfortunately at our age it is a slow process. Your hot tub reminds me of the natives cooking Bugs Bunny in the old Looney Tune cartoons. Good luck to you both. I know you have a crappy back also. I thoroughly enjoy your channel.
Your sitting in the hot tub reminds me of Saturday morning cartoons. When Bugs Bunny was being boiled by cannibals. All that was missing were bunny ears and a carrot! Speedy recovery for Steve and keep taking time for yourself.
I have always enjoyed your videos and I've been around since about the 10th one, so I guess that makes me a "Michy OG"...lol...but still, sorry to say that you're just my 4th favorite Canadian...right behind Sarah, Alanis and Chantal...saw Sarah last week, what a joy, the others later this year...but hey your in good company!!...get better steve!
happy to hear that Steve is on the recovery, wish him a speedy one. I enjoy everyone of your videos. you are so lucky to have woods to run around in and enjoy.
I Love your channel and all you do. That can be tough at times knowing just how much you love to build things and take so much pride in what you do, only to have Steve comment with a half hearted ....great! It's nice to hear he is going to heal and will be doing well with his back surgery. Maybe once he feels better, he'll enjoy some of the things you like doing and finally join in. I always look forward to your next video, because I know it'll be something different and fun to watch. Hugs to you and Steve. Sending healing prayers your way. Take care!!
Oh...Yummy... soups on...! 🤗 Witchy Mitchy's cauldron of "Double Bubble Toil and Trouble"...with a little seasoning and maybe some potatoes, carrots and celery...!! Dog says 🐕... "Wait wait...you call'n me...?" "No way...mom...I ain't get'in near that soup... I ain't no Hansel and Gretel...I'm go'n down to the creek"...😁
Not only are you a foxy kid you are so adventurous productive in a go-getter about everything it’s not just the animals nature construction it’s at all
Great news about Steve’s recovery, that’s good news ! You are multi talented and can do many things very well ! I think you have a great channel and did some amazing things to the cliff cabin build , I know very who could pull that off ! Yes I’m looking forward to seeing the cliff cabin adventures again ! What a view from there !
It’s funny you say that about your health care. Our liberal media here in the states is constantly telling us how our health care needs to be more like Canada’s.
I am a Canadian and I can assure you our healthcare system isn’t worth it your months and months waiting for test waiting for surgeries. Lots of people in this country died before they ever get to see surgery or a doctor had a family member who had cancer was in agonizing pain for months and the day he died was the date they diagnosed him with lymphoma.
And it's our conservative governments (Provincial) that are trying to make it like the US system. That's why our healthcare system is failing here in Canada.
OHIP Ontario Health Isurance Plan, used to be amazing. It got overwhelmed with people abusing it and got to costly. They had slash a lot of the coverage and raise the cost for what's leftover. Still better than a lot of other places.
Don't worry our government in the states has forced their control and put everyone on the system .We found out how much control they have during covid.Lying to us and threatening us if we didn't comply.Now our healthcare and police departments are bad and it takes months to get results and longer to get specialists...You don't even get to talk to doctors anymore after testing to ask questions.You go online and find it your chart and hope you understand the lingo.You arent told to come back or anything...it's a joke here...A girl had a stroke and its several months before she can see a specialist.Stokes keep happening so that's outrageous...
Poor Steve! For those of us who have lived life mostly pain free and without back or joint problems or other chronic issues, we could never understand. It's not easy on the partners either. Thank you for the insight in to your family and your motivation for doing this. I'm glad you decided to. OH, AND, what a beautiful spot next to that creek! I just bought a house on a river (Rum river in Anoka MN) that is being renovated and I'm so looking forward to spending time next to flowing water.

Good thing you chose to share with others, because there are apparently +100k of us who love your energy and creativity.
I wanted to say the same exact thing! I can amend slightly and say 127,000 of us!
lol, that's what I was trying to say.

Yes, I would agree! We also just have very different ‘creative’ brains. 😊
We do care, even about the little things. I think we all also hope Steve is recovering well. Thanks for your time and videos. Much respect, David

Thank you for the update and the short vid. Glad to see all is progressing forward, albeit slowly. Look forward to more later.
I've had sciatica, and Steve has my deepest condolences and earnest best wishes. Hoping that things settle down for him.

Thanks for sharing, my wife had a similar surgery long recovery but she’s alive. Wishing a speedy recovery to Steve and you need to take time for yourself.
Glad Steve is on the road to recovery. I think you both are lucky people to have found each other
Lovely Mitchy. The very first time I watched your channel and found out you where a nurse, I knew you where a True Warrior. We both know it takes a special someone to be a nurse. Steve is blessed to have such a beautiful woman taking care of him. You’re smart and very creative. I will always watch your content . Shit I call some of your episodes reruns because I rewatch em. I even unlike em so I can like em after the rerun ends. 😊🌹 never quit beautiful always know you are appreciated, valued, adored, admired and yes Very much Loved. 💯 your never alone I mean that and I’m sure others feel the same way . ❤️ Michy it is worth it. Thank you for sharing the little you do about your life. Know that I’m always left smiling and wanting to know more. 😊 I pray Steve has a speedy recovery . 🙏🏼 keep up the amazing work. 🌹
Cheering for you and Steve and speedy recovery.👍🙏
Thanks so much for putting out a video this week! Sending good healing vibes to Steve and looking forward to whatever comes up this coming session. ♥
Good choice in Steve's surgery. I hope he heals well and in a timely manner. So fortunate to have that hot tub in great surroundings. Enjoy
I’m glad you share your projects. I’m on my own now and love working on my property with two retired horses and two dogs. There is always something to do and my fur family love all the attention. Keep doing it Mitchy. It matters and will keep you going. Cheers 😊
It is so great to see you back and that Steve's surgery went well. We love watching your life and it always brings joy to my day.
Blessings for Steve's healing,
Your projects are absolutely totally COOL. 127,000 subs agree. Thanks for sharing them! Oh, and now I'm going to build a box for the 4 wheeler
very glad Steve is on the mend , also your videos are wonderful its a great thing to see what you get up to , thanks Michelle
Michy soup! I loved this episode. I am forever grateful that you spend the time to capture your slice of life for the rest of us. Experiencing what you're up to feeds my soul and serves as a getaway from the daily grind. The projects, the pups and the solace have a very calming influence. THats a testament to what you're doing and also how you're able to capture it on film. While Steve and you do your own thing thats what makes relationships work and if he were more a part of these videos it would change what they are. Mind you , I did enjoy your boat series a lot, but your normal content is perfect. Here's hoping Steve has a speedy recovery
Hi Michelle, best wishes for speedy recovery for Steve, nice seeing you again Michelle you stay strong and it was nice to see you soothing yourself in the hot tub, soaking away your troubles, sleepwell Michelle see you next time🥂😗
Love keeping up with your projects on that beautiful property. Wishing Steve a speedy recovery!
I love that meow takes over a dog bed! I love you Clyde ❤️
"Luckily I have this shed" (Cheshire grin! Lol!) Hope Steve feels better soon. I'm sure there are others that love your videos as much as I do. Seeing all the projects you do, the cliff cabin, the saw mill, the shed, and just being out in nature away from traffic and people, seems like a really great thing to me, that's why I watch. Thanks Michygoss!
Hi ya IIm glad Steve is out of the woods it takes so long to recover from something like that. Try and stay positive I love your videos you always make me smile 😃 god bless.
I enjoy your work . Thank you. I hope Steve is on the mend soon.
Michy stew. Hoping for Steve's speedy recovery and comfort. Projects can wait. Good Luck.
Michy,
I look forward to your videos and the work you do!! Your the reason I got my own mill and learned to mill and build. There's no failure in trying. Please never stop creating I just love it!
I really enjoy your channel/content. I'm glad you show that things don't always go smoothly. Creators seem to edit out the FUps and I'm left to wonder if I'm the only one that takes two steps forward and one back. Thank you for keeping it real. I'm a doer like you and would love to have a "handy" woman to share my projects with. Good health to you both.
Speedy recovery! Mr Steve….and dayum girl! Thanks for the content
MORNING LADY! IM SO GLAD TO SEE STEVE DOING WELL AND IN GOOD SPIRITS.SO GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK,I MISSED YA! GOOD THOUGHTS AND LOVE TO YALL AND THE FUR BABIES FROM TEXAS. GET YOU A FOOT LONG PIECE OF FOAM PIPE WRAP,WILL MAKE A GREAT NECK REST
Glad Steve is getting there, It can be tough when you love something but your partner doesn't, stick with it because we all love what you create.
Good morning Michelle!
My first time being first! So happy to see your're back. I hope Steve is feeling better. I'm sure he's feeling grateful for all the care and love you've been giving him during his recovery. Hope all is well at home with you and your four-legged furbabies. Thank you for all that you do! ❤

I think that podcasts include different activities make them more interesting and down to earth. Praying Steve starts feeling better soon.
Glad Steve is getting better and got the right surgery. I agree with you about our Healthcare and I know a lot of people will disagree with me but we need private healthcare in this country. If I can afford it then why should I not get it without having to travel. 34% of my income goes to tax while our EMR’s are overran, wait times for surgeries can be months sometimes years. Something has to change.
You are so blessed to live in the area you live. It's so beautiful.
Incredible Lady! Lots of Beautiful Thoughts and a Great Adventure Attitude! Love Your Videos! Great and Scenic location you Live Life In! Envious, I’m always Working Away from My Loved Ones! U Rock! Thank U for the Cool Content! Cheers from Wisconsin!
The quads are nice, but for versatility the mules are tops. I've used both (plowing, beach detail, etc...) and there is no comparison. The quads look cool, but the mule is called the "mule" (various companies have different names for the truck type) for a very good reason. Glad to hear Steve got the operation and it was non-invasive. I hope he finds some relief soon. He's tough, but back pain is the worst when you are a very active person. Neat hot tub! 😉👍Hi, doggos and kitty!
Wishing Steve a full and speedier recovery. Take it from an advancing geezer, back pain really sucks.
Did anyone else keep expecting Bugs Bunny or Yosemite Sam to run out of the woods and start whacking up carrots in your "Hot Tub"?
Old Clyde is lucky to have you as #1 Dog Mom! I'm pretty sure we would all watch you sharpen a pencil or what ever else you decide to work on. Go Team Witchy Mitchy! Hope that Steve makes a full and speedy recovery.
Witchy Mitchy...I like it!
Bath tub in the nature - the best I can imagine ❣❣❣👍👍👍🌞🌞🌞 Well done, Michelle!!! 🙋♀️
Wishing Steve a timely recovery. We had L4 L5 done years ago and recovery has been pretty good. Unfortunately at our age it is a slow process. Your hot tub reminds me of the natives cooking Bugs Bunny in the old Looney Tune cartoons. Good luck to you both. I know you have a crappy back also. I thoroughly enjoy your channel.
It was good to see you both prayers for speedy recovery!! Hot tub was awesome by the creek looked very relaxing.👍👍
Your sitting in the hot tub reminds me of Saturday morning cartoons. When Bugs Bunny was being boiled by cannibals. All that was missing were bunny ears and a carrot! Speedy recovery for Steve and keep taking time for yourself.
😂
Your projects are so much fun watching, you have so much talent and creativity.
I have always enjoyed your videos and I've been around since about the 10th one, so I guess that makes me a "Michy OG"...lol...but still, sorry to say that you're just my 4th favorite Canadian...right behind Sarah, Alanis and Chantal...saw Sarah last week, what a joy, the others later this year...but hey your in good company!!...get better steve!
happy to hear that Steve is on the recovery, wish him a speedy one. I enjoy everyone of your videos. you are so lucky to have woods to run around in and enjoy.
I love the small creek by your hot tub!!!!
Don't get discouraged Michelle, you are awesome!!!!
you have an amazing life.
What you share is worth it and thank you. Take care to both of you. 👍🇨🇦 Naramata
The only thing missing in that tub was carrots celery and onions. Get well soon Steve you’re lucky to have your own personal angel.
And a bear walks up ready for some human wonton soup
Wabbit Stew?
I Love your channel and all you do. That can be tough at times knowing just how much you love to build things and take so much pride in what you do, only to have Steve comment with a half hearted ....great! It's nice to hear he is going to heal and will be doing well with his back surgery. Maybe once he feels better, he'll enjoy some of the things you like doing and finally join in. I always look forward to your next video, because I know it'll be something different and fun to watch. Hugs to you and Steve. Sending healing prayers your way. Take care!!
Your remarkable and a resilient person when God made you he broke the mold.Thanks for the update.
Thank you for sharing Michelle. Love your videos (and the dogs and Steve of course). Hope Steve is recovering soon.
Oh...Yummy... soups on...! 🤗
Witchy Mitchy's cauldron of "Double Bubble Toil and Trouble"...with a little seasoning and maybe some potatoes, carrots and celery...!!
Dog says 🐕... "Wait wait...you call'n me...?"
"No way...mom...I ain't get'in near that soup... I ain't no Hansel and Gretel...I'm go'n down to the creek"...😁
It's so worth it! I always love your content and this is one of my favorite channels - many thanks Michelle! (Hang in there Steve!)
That hot tub sure looked like fun!
Definitely worth it. Worth a watch, and well worth a listen... Loved the ATV box... Those little things sometime means SO much.
I’ve made a few different boxes out of aluminum for my minibike depending on the purpose.
It's worth it!! Happy Steve is doing better!! Thanks for the videos!
Not only are you a foxy kid you are so adventurous productive in a go-getter about everything it’s not just the animals nature construction it’s at all
looking good, Michy hope old man feels better soon, loved watch you set up and get in tub ,have a good one.take time for you sweet stuff
Love the big egg cup you use as your hot tub. Was it used to eat soft boiled dinosaur eggs in its previous life?
Now that I think about it, yes! It was! 😆
Great news about Steve’s recovery, that’s good news !
You are multi talented and can do many things very well !
I think you have a great channel and did some amazing things to the cliff cabin build , I know very who could pull that off !
Yes I’m looking forward to seeing the cliff cabin adventures again !
What a view from there !
You look awesome in the hot tub!!!! Yeah!!!!!😊
I pray speedy and complete recovery and healing to your husband ! Amen.
It’s funny you say that about your health care. Our liberal media here in the states is constantly telling us how our health care needs to be more like Canada’s.
I am a Canadian and I can assure you our healthcare system isn’t worth it your months and months waiting for test waiting for surgeries. Lots of people in this country died before they ever get to see surgery or a doctor had a family member who had cancer was in agonizing pain for months and the day he died was the date they diagnosed him with lymphoma.
And it's our conservative governments (Provincial) that are trying to make it like the US system. That's why our healthcare system is failing here in Canada.
OHIP Ontario Health Isurance Plan, used to be amazing. It got overwhelmed with people abusing it and got to costly. They had slash a lot of the coverage and raise the cost for what's leftover. Still better than a lot of other places.
Don't worry our government in the states has forced their control and put everyone on the system .We found out how much control they have during covid.Lying to us and threatening us if we didn't comply.Now our healthcare and police departments are bad and it takes months to get results and longer to get specialists...You don't even get to talk to doctors anymore after testing to ask questions.You go online and find it your chart and hope you understand the lingo.You arent told to come back or anything...it's a joke here...A girl had a stroke and its several months before she can see a specialist.Stokes keep happening so that's outrageous...
20 years ago it was good. If you have money in Canada and need care you will probably end up in the US.
hope Steve mends well and he takes his time with recovery, and as always its great to see another video.
Poor Steve! For those of us who have lived life mostly pain free and without back or joint problems or other chronic issues, we could never understand. It's not easy on the partners either. Thank you for the insight in to your family and your motivation for doing this. I'm glad you decided to.
OH, AND, what a beautiful spot next to that creek! I just bought a house on a river (Rum river in Anoka MN) that is being renovated and I'm so looking forward to spending time next to flowing water.
It’s worth it! I enjoy watching and following along with you! ❤
