- There's a weird feeling that something is missing, almost like a phantom limb.

Ha, I know that feeling. There was this big, old tree at my parent's house. It'd been there ever since I was a kid and it just always looked over the house. I was worried that someday it'd get struck by lightning and fall into my bedroom, because it was on the second floor and probably would have been in the path of that tree if it came down. Well, I moved out, so it wasn't a concern anymore, but they did decide to cut it down after I left. Even got a bit of money from it because it was a nice, straight-standing tree so could be used for stuff. But I tell ya, it just hasn't looked the same over there. That tree was probably 200 years old, or more, and I found it sad that it was cut down. However, despite all of that, there was a sprout coming up from the stump and now a few years later it has grown into the start of another fine tree - or maybe the same one all along. So it doesn't feel quite as bad!
These are the kind of vlogs I enjoy the most. Learning know about you and your family is truly interesting.
70's Stephen is best Stephen.
Tracy/Nicholas Woodstock agreed.
I had a very similar experience when I was young. Up until I was eight or so, my family had this TITANIC tree in the back yard. By my recollection, it was probably at least two or three feet in diameter at the base. It was just a tree, yeah, but young minds get attached to really mundane things like that. Our next door neighbor, who was... a character, let's say, spared no expense in reminding us repeatedly that she'd sue us if it fell on her house. So one day we had it removed. One of the days I still remember vividly from my younger days.
Not too terribly long after, we planted a new tree there. It remained there until my parents moved when I was twenty. Just recently, the new owners cut the second tree down, and the space is now entirely bare. That really got to me as well for some reason, I guess because there's basically always been a tree in that spot throughout my life. My younger brother also buried his hamster under that tree, so it's like a piece of "family lore" is just gone by someone else's command.
I guess the human mind works in mysterious ways.
Stephen (Puffball) Georg, lol
the picture of him in his halloween costume kills me
You do look like you did, in fact, walk out of the 70's
In which case, hey, Funky Stephen!
Stephen as someone who had 3 of those pine trees come down on my parent’s house in a recent tornado. I am really glad you guys decided to go ahead and take care of this before it became that kind of problem
At the apartment complex that my grandparents used to live at there were trees that my childhood friends and I would climb up and whenever I take a look at where they used to be it feels weird that I get sentimental over trees, but it's a nice reminder that I had fun playing outside as a kid.
I know it was for the best, but maybe perhaps cutting the size the tree to preserve it would've been better. Perhaps you guys should plant a new tree in the old tree's place.
We have a large catalpa tree in front of our house that we thought we would remove before long. Seven months later at our new house, it's still there. It's known to have been hit by lightning according to the previous owner of our house. We mainly keep it for shade, and my mom affectionately refers to it as the Spooky Hollow tree.
We used to have an ornamental crab apple tree in our backyard. It was there since we moved into this house 18 years ago. The poor thing wasn't stabilized properly as a sapling though, so it leaned over quite a bit.
When a thunderstorm arrived one night, we woke up the next morning and found it toppled over in our yard. I can't even remember how long ago it was that it happened, but it must've been at least 4 years ago, if not longer. We now have a fire pit built in that same spot the tree was planted.
Magnum P.I. called, Stephen - either you have to give his hair back, or take the mustache that goes with it.
If I could grow a mustache like Selleck then I'd totally go for it-assuming I also get the incredible theme song, too.
If we're giving cool 80's TV theme songs to ourselves, you can have that one if I get the Miami Vice theme. Deal?
I was thinking his hair was more along the lines of Paul Michael Glaser in Starsky & Hutch.
I lived in the same apartment complex for 17 years with my mom and brothers and there was this particular tree right outside of one of the buildings that we called "the jumping tree". It was a big tree that had like a kind of split near the bottom which we would climb up and jump from. The split was only a couple feet up so it wasn't a far jump but it was very fun for our 6-12 year old selves. Eventually we moved into another building farther from the tree and soon after it was gone. It was weird not having it there.
In my old house (that nextdoor to my grandparent's house, and owned by my grandparents) there was this small dogwood tree. It was big enough for a young girl to sit in, but small enough that I didn't have to climb it. I use to daydream in that spot all the time. It was especially nice in the spring when the tree bloomed. When Hurricane Sandy hit up here, the whole street flooded, and the tree drowned. I saw the spot where it was last year, and it made quite melancholic. I stared at it for a good 15 minutes in the middle of winter, before my grandfather called me inside.
Another tree that meant a lot to me is a chestnut tree in my grandparent's yard. It had low hanging branches that I could climb when I was in elementary school. They didn't cut it down, as they like the chestnuts it provides. But they cut down the low hanging branches for an unrelated reason. Now, as an adult, it's impossible for me to climb. It's a shame, as I always loved being so high.
As a bit of a reversal, my parents have two pine trees in their back yard that they planted when we moved in. I remember being able to jump over them when I was a kid, and now they’re probably twice as tall as the house. (For time reference, I’m 30). It feels kinda weird to see those trees when I go visit, because I remember them being so small.
At my house, there used to be a line of bushes right by the house, and when I was little I would play in the little space between them and the house - I loved that space. But they were really close to the house, overgrown, and just really inconvenient for a lot of reasons, so my dad had them removed, and I remember being so sad. Another story was that my grandma used to have a huge orange tree in her yard, and when we visited her we would climb the tree, pick oranges, and make fresh orange juice. But one day the tree died, and although she's trying to get a new one, it won't grow quite to its old size for a really long time.
With the fires we had here in Northern California this past October I've definitely had to come to terms with losing lots of things/places I wasn't really prepared for. I can really relate to the lament of losing something that doesn't necessarily have something specifically tied to it, but the lasting presence replaced by absence has been something lingering in the back of my mind from time to time.
When I was growing up we had a three foot wide sugar maple in our yard that would shed leaves over three lawns in the fall. One year it got hit by a tornado which damaged a third of it and four years later it got struck by lightning and the city cut it down because it got dangerous. It was in the space between the sidewalk and the street so it was their responsibility. I still miss that tree years later.
The squirrels never forgave us for it either.
I had something similar happen. There were some alder trees that were shading part of my family’s garden and they needed to be cut down so more sunlight could hit. And it was sad seeing them come down and that part of the yard felt empty for a while.
It wasn't a tree in my backyard, but when I was a kid the neighbours who lived over our back fence had a super tall tree in their yard which I always wished I could climb all the way to the top. Several years ago, the house got demolished to make room for two houses to be built on the block. That meant the whole garden had to go and so down came the tree. I was at school when it happened so I didn't see it, but I remember my dad telling me that my mum cried when it came down. That tree was one of the last visible trees in people's gardens in my neighbourhood since a lot of places now are being built with paved yards rather than grassy ones with lots of plants.
There was a very large tree in my grandparent's backyard, at the house they had been at for over 30 years. It fell down one day (In the yard thankfully, not touching the house) and my grandparents were really sentimental about it. They're native American flute makers (flutes made of wood) so they have more attachment to trees I suppose, but I think its pretty normal for anyone to be attached to them. Trees are cool
That tree from his youth.
In my old neighborhood, during an ice storm, a tall pine tree fell on my neighbor's house and completely destroyed their kitchen. Luckily nobody was hurt though. I'm glad your parents had the tree removed before this upcoming hurricane season!
I knew a tree once. We had it in our front yard for 7 years before we took it down. Eventually some hornets made a nest in it and when they would be disturbed, it would endanger our entire community. Since it’s been gone, we had a light post installed where it used to stand. Like you said, nothing about that tree was special. It’s just that it was there for so long, I had gotten attached to it. ( but I’m still glad it’s gone)
My parents and my grandfather live right next door to each other, they share the same driveway. My parents house, my childhood home was built in 1988 on a lot with tons of birch trees planted all over and many of them were cut down to make way for our house. But one tree was left standing in the middle of the lawn between the two houses. During my childhood, my brothers whom are both older than me, climbed this tree all the time! I was too small to make it up to the first climbable part, the trunk split into two smaller trunks about 130cm above the ground. This very part had over the years become rotten and had mushrooms and moss growing in the crack where the trunk split, and each of the two trunks pointed to each of the two houses it stood between. Before I were big enough to be able to climb the tree, it had to be cut down because a good storm would crack it in two and wreck both houses. I was of course pretty upset about this as a kid, but I understand now that it had to be done.
I had 3 good sized trees at my parents house but had to get rid of 2 of them 7 or 8 years ago. this last year after a wind storm about half of the last tree came down so it got removed as well. So it feels very bizarre to see just grass in the yard for sure after so many years with trees
00:00 I do have a kitty on my lap! Just one though :) Just returned from the hospital(third and final hip surgery), glad I can finally watch Stephen and Mal again :D
Edit: at my previous house, we had four large trees in the yard. Two in the back yard and one on each side of the house. During a storm one in the back had fallen over, so we had to get the other one removed. Scary stuff but it had to be done.
That's one good thing about where i live currently, my home is not directly under a tree.
I'm always a bit scared a tree is gonna come down on my house from bad weather one of these days.
Yes I can relate to that. In October 2015 we had to have our giant tree removed from our backyard. But we weren't as luck as you. On July 31st 1/4 of our tree split from the rest and fell on our house. It caused a lot of damage and cost a lot of money to have it removed.
And just like you we had to let the rest of it go because it was a hazard for the remaining houses around us. Although it was a probably a little harder for us to see our tree go than it was for you or your parents because it had been there for around 40 years.
Being a military family, we have a lot of these kinds of sentimental moments because we move so often. It more has to do with moments with my kids though. The apartment where my daughter took her first steps. The house we lived in when my husband came home from Korea and we surprised our daughter by letting her "unwrap" him for her birthday. We are getting ready to move from Hawaii and its already starting to get sad. Both kids learned to ride their bikes without training wheels here. My son graduated from preschool here. He potty trained here (thank god....it was an ordeal).
It's hard but we will make new memories in the next place. :)
At my house I actually have 2 tree stories. First one is similar to where the tree was starting to lean and we just needed to get it out but it was weird because that tree had always been there and it was weird to see it gone. The second one was actually in a neighbors yard and it got knocked down by heavy rain, no damage to anything luckily, but afterwards that space just felt empty and again weird.
Funnily enough, this happened at my house also. We had to chop down out crab apple tree because fungus was eating it inside out and the roots were causing basement leaks.Shame too. It was a beautiful tree in the fall when the leaves went pink
Ironically, we planted a tree not too long before Hurricane Harvey hit. Luckily the exact town I live in didn't get hit with the bad side of the storm (though it was really close) so we were mostly fine, but our new tree was knocked over by the wind. It's not that big, so definitely wasn't a thing that was gonna cause major damage though, not like the palm trees we had previously had right up next to the house. Cool thing is, we were able to just stand the tree back up, got the roots to take, and the tree's growing well.
My grandparents had a double mango tree in their yard and they had a swing on it. I remember my childhood on that swing. Eventually, they cut one of the trees down because it was dying and the swing was no more.
It wasn't on our property, but at the corner of the street there used to be this incredibly tall palm-ish tree. I mean tall. Like Over The House Tall, like more than twenty feet in the air tall, like How Did This Even Occur Tall. It was at that corner all through my childhood and we'd use it as sort of a landmark because it was incredibly standout. A few years ago the house was sold and the new owners cut down the tree. We do live in a hurricane prone area and the palm-ish tree had looked dead for a very long time. So I understand but at the same time, it's kinda weird that there's just a bare spot there now.
My grandparents cut the tree in front of their house a year or so ago which had been there for probably 20+ years. Still strange sometimes to realise it's just not there.
When I was young we were camping when a storm kicked up in the middle of the night and a massive tree fell on the tent. Fortunately it was a large family tent and the tree fell between my parent and us kids. We got bundled into a nice couples caravan whist the adults salvaged what they could whist the storm raged on.
We had a tree in our front yard as well some years back. I really liked having it around because it offered a great deal of shade (especially when I had to mow the grass).
However, the city deemed it dangerous and took it down, even though it was a pretty sturdy, well grown tree, top to bottom, but that 's the way things go, I suppose. At least they had the courtesy to plant two other trees in the front yard that are growing nicely. :P
In a way i have a similar story. My older brother and i would climb the trees in our backyard (we live in the country on an acre and a half of land). It would be what we did that we could do together without our younger siblings wanting to join us. We had two trees we climbed more than any others. We climbed one of our apple trees, and one of the ones farther from the house (idk trees so i can't tell you what kind, i wanna say a version of a willow but idk). Well when i was 12 i think, our dad was tired of having to duck under this branch when he mowed the lawn, so he cut down that branch. Now that branch was crucial cause that was the easiest place to reach with your foot when you are first climbing the tree. So once that branch was gone, we couldn't climb that tree as much anymore. We would still go on our apple tree until dad had to prune that tree to save it from dying. Sadly, he had to cut off most of the branches so it is just one set of branches, and we can't climb it as well anymore. Those trees were part of my memories with my brother, when he was okay with having his sister play with his toys. Those trees will always mean the world to me.
A couple of weeks ago, there was ridiculous wind here in Ontario, Canada. It was so bad out half of a tree in our back yard. It smashed onto the porch and avoided the roof and car by centimetres. We're now looking into cutting down the other half of the tree for safety.
I distinctly remember being in our old house, and a tree falling on my neighbor's house during a really bad thunderstorm, or wind, or whatever it was.
We had a giant Weeping Willow in our backyard ever since I was born and we had to cut it down as it’s roots were getting into the tile in the ground.
Growing up, the neighbors had this big tree in their backyard with this thing you could climb. I remember playing on it every once in a while since I was friends with their relatives. One day last year, I look out the window and the tree is just...gone. It was there my entire life (I'm 25), so it was just weird to see a giant open space where it was. Then again, these neighbors had bats, so...maybe I shouldn't be too surprised.
Unrelated, but I like how Mal is always smiling as you brought up in a video some time ago. Especially since she said you looked ridiculous and then continued smiling at you. :)
When I was really little, a tree fell on my grandparents' house. They lived next door to my parents, and a huge locust tree (we're talking 80 feet tall and over 2 feet in diameter), and it fell right on the house. It was close enough that the trunk was still substantial on the part that got the house and the branches reached past the other side of the house once it was on its side. They had to get a new roof (duh), and it also put stress fractures in the drywall on all of the ceilings because it slammed down on the roof trusses with thousands of pounds of force. After that, they had a tree company come out and take out about a half dozen large trees within striking distance of their house.
my parents have been in their house basically my whole life (24 years in the house) and for as long as i can remember we had this palm tree in the back yard kinda up against the house. it started to push on the foundation and had to be removed last year. and it was really weird to look in the back yard when i'd go home and just see the spot it was in and its just empty. they redid the yard but its still weird to kinda almost expect it to still be there
At my dad's house, before my parents divorced, we had a tree house in this gigantic maple in the back yard. The tree was great, it shaded the yard in the summer and provided a spot to pause before running to the house in the rain. It would throw helicopter seed pods down to the ground and we'd pick them up and throw them back in the air and dance in them as they fell down. In the fall we'd play in the leaves. As we grew up we played less and less in the tree house until one year my dad took it down and used its base to hold a shed. Then my parents divorced and my dad decided to "trim" the tree. He ruined that tree. Much like Stephen's parents we started to worry that it was gonna come down one day and destroy the whole house. It's still standing but it's missing branches and just does not look good at all. Maybe one day he'll finish cutting it down but for now it's an eyesore.
It wasn’t necessarily my tree that was taken down but my friend’s. Honestly most of my childhood days was spent at their house and every day I always saw that tree. One day I noticed it was starting to lean like you said yours did and pointed it out to them. They had it taken down later that month. It was strange to go to their house and not see it there anymore...
It was like a key part of their house was gone.
A tree from my childhood home had a huge branch that would have caused the tree to have fallen directly on my room but luckily I noticed the large crack in the tree and saved my mom a ton of money 💰
Actually I really did have the exact same scenario. There was a tree that was on the left side of our house, and it was there before I was even born. It wasn't going to knock our house down or anything, but one day when I was like eight or nine it was just gone and I just sat on the stump for a little bit and like remembered ducking under it a lot and stuff. So I know exactly how you feel.
rip tree you will be remembered
Where I live in California, there's a law stating that if a tree is too close to the road, even if it's technically on your property, it's allowed get its branches shaved off. There're two trees that for years I've grown up with that grown up to have these nice giant leaf bulbs with the branches holding them all up. Then the city decided that they grew too much.
When I came home from school, they had been shaven off so much that I could visibly see the branches without looking under the head of leaves that they grew. They had cut off huge chunks of the trees so much so that the branches looked like arms doing bicep curls, and it was so horrifying to look at that I didn't think they could ever recover. Years later they've started to return to form, but it's something sad when you see something so nice looking become so vile because somehow these trees were a safety hazard? They weren't even very tall either, so there was no risk of anyone getting hurt unless you were an idiot and tried to assert dominance by climbing them.
My grandma's house had a huge pine tree in front of it for like, forever, and obviously she and all my aunts and uncles and mom had known that house for so many years before I even existed and the huge tree had always been in the front. But a few years ago when it had started to die and rot my uncles also had that tree removed, and that was weird too because like, that tree has just always been a part of that house for as long as I've existed and known it, and even for as long as my mom has existed and known it, since she's the youngest.
I do have a very similar situation as it involved a tree. There was three Trees next to each other at the bottom of my Grandad's Garden . Me and my Brother would play in them when we were little and make little dens. Then the trees started to go weird and start decaying in the middle like some sore of rot. My Grandad got rid of them and I wasn't upset or anything but it felt weird seeing the garden without them and I was thinking about how I would never be able to play in them again even though I hadn't played around them for a good decade.
My cousins had a big tree in their front yard and that how we identified their house. One day, they got rid of the tree for safety reasons and it was sad to see it missing from the front yard. Also, the first time we drove to their house after the tree was gone, we passed their house. Now we look for the stump, but I still have trouble identifying their house without that tree
Back at my old house, we had a giant, and I mean giant, pine tree right outside our house that had been there since I was born. A few years ago we got it taken down, because well it was old and falling apart, and it was giant so it was a pretty big danger. On one hand, it's just a tree, but on the other, it was something that had been there my entire life, so that first few weeks after it was gone was just kind of weird and surreal. Like...that tree from my childhood is gone. But saftey comes before any of that, so it was for the best it was gone, also, at the end of the day...it's just a tree.
In the neighborhood I grew up we would get really bad wind and thunderstorms around the 4th of july. One year these folks who lived down the street for me had a really big tree in their yard and and the lady who lived their said she felt like the tree was gonna come down during the storm so she moved her car in the middle of the night. The tree ended up coming down a few hours later so she got lucky!
About 10 years ago we had a big tree in our back yard fall during a storm. It crushed our shed as well as our neighbor’s shed. We didn’t even know it fell until our neighbor knocked on the door. We were lucky that it fell the way it did and not towards the house because it probably would have caused some major damage.
Outside my childhood bedroom window was this huge tree that was a bit of a concern cause i live in cali aka earthquake purgatory. When i was i think 20 or maybe 18 my mom decided to cut it down cause the roots where starting to head towards under the house
A few years back my parents had to get rid of a tree because its root would break the wall of our courtyard and we live on the coast and the tree could've fallen on the road, and I was a bit sad, because well, it's a living thing, the tree was minding its tree business, and I have so many memories of my dad hanging bird food in this tree and look at the birds and stuff. It's always a bir sad to take down a tree.
That just happened to me, had this huge pine tree next to my window for 15 years and we had to chop it cuase the drout. had massive branches just falling off of it, so we got rid of it before it got rid of the house. Also it dropped needles on the roof constantly which was perfect kindling for a fire
While it was not a tree we had some bushes in front of my parent's house from before we moved in. A few years ago we had to cut them down because they were getting to big and we could not see out of our front window.
It's not exactly the same story but a couple of years ago we moved out of our family home that I was raised in for over 20 years. We had 1/2 an acre of land with around 5-10 large pine trees. The guy who bought our house flipped it so they chopped down every single tree in the yard and attempted (and failed horribly) to make the backyard a lush garden with green grass and a bunch of flower beds. I haven't had a good look at the yard but I have driven past it and looked at the for sale pictures online and it just feels so wrong. We grew up playing in that backyard and with all the trees gone it just looks to barren.
I used to live in a house with a super big tree. There was a storm that passed by and a huge chunk of the tree came off and landed on our neighbors driveway barely missing the car. My sister and my mom had to clean it up because I was on a school trip to Washington D.C. from then one we constantly trimmed the tree so it wouldn’t do that again

Weird connection, long story. Bear with me.
When I was younger, there was a big ice storm where I live (the storm that spawned it even has its own Wikipedia entry). Most people in my area lost power. We didn't, but we could have if a branch would've had its way. About three days into the storm, a huge branch (maybe 100 lbs? and probably 12 feet long) fell on the power line leading directly to our house. I heard my mother scream from the kitchen, and I went to see what was going on. The power line was bending hard, looking like it could snap at any second. Without thinking, I ran out and just held the branch up, taking slack off the line.
Never mind that it was a stupid thing to do (What was I going to do, Atlas the branch for the rest of the storm?), it was obviously dangerous. I didn't leave though, because my grandmother was living with us at the time, and she was in her late eighties and in failing health. All that went through my head was that my grandmother could've died from the cold if we didn't have power (not as crazy as it sounds, 74 people died from the storm that year). So I held up the branch with no long term plan in mind, and our neighbor had luckily seen what was happening. He came over with a chainsaw and cut the branch in half, taking most of the weight off of the power line. An image I'll never forget was the final little piece of branch that was over the line flying up with just enough force to catapult it in the weakest way possible off of the power line.
I went back inside, and my mother started yelling at me. I was like, "What? Why?" She was afraid I was going to get electrocuted, which I guess now was a sensible concern. I had been 19 at the time, and it was a wild, wild situation, but all I was thinking was that we were going to still have power. That was what mattered to me, you know?
Long story longer, it might be weird not to have that tree, but they definitely made the right decision removing it. You never want to find yourself in a situation like that.
Watching the beginning of this in November 2020 is very.....let's say amusing. There once was a time where this was likely the biggest you'd ever see Stephen's hair in a vlog. But alas! No longer!
It wasn’t are tree but back in March my neighbor across the street tree was still to lean in are direction. At the time the tree was getting hit by multiple snow storms. One more big storm it was coming down. Fortunately he was able to get it chopped down a few days before another snow storm. Probably saved are house/lives
I don't think there has been any strong emotional attachment to any trees that we have lost as I tend to not develop those towards trees that I haven't taken care of. But there have been a couple trees that I miss having around and some that I know I'll be broken up by if they leave. For the ones I miss, we had this wonderful wisteria tree in our front yard and it was around since I was a kid and my brother and I would throw the seed pods on the blacktop and crack them open. I don't miss the bees, but I miss the flowers and the smell. My mom cut it down because she wasn't pruning it very much and it was seriously leaning. I also miss our two sour cherry trees. I'd stand for hours eating them. We do have one very tall pine tree that is half-dead and I'm just waiting for the day when I get the call that it finally fell. Our tulip tree is a strange child in that it's multiple trunks from one base (bizarre for the typically tall and perfect straight tree) and we're down to 3 trunks. There used to be five. One fell in a bad rainstorm and one died and I said to cut it down before it fell. The tree that I will really miss is my Royal Japanese Cherry Blossom.
A thicker but equally tall tree nearly fell on me when it fell in my yard during a ice storm a few years back.
We had a stump in front of our porch from the time we moved in for many many years.
We have no idea where this came from or why our landlord kept it but one day our landlord came and checked inside the stump and it had to be removed because it caused problems for the house. it was infested with some type of bug.
And we all got really sad about it like we all knew it was really stupid but we still got really sad about it.
just imagine if tomorrows vlog would be about the removal of the bump on Stephen's hand and it's called "The Bump Is Gone" x)
StephenVlog - removing Trees and Bumps!
(Yeah, I'm weird)
We had a birch tree right next to our house that I loved as a kid. We had to get rid of it because ants were using it to climb onto our roof. 😢
Will you plant another to start new?
At my dad’s old house (I would call it my childhood house but I lived in probably 13 different houses as a kid but that’s the one I remember the most) we had a beautiful tree in our front yard (cherry blossom?) that my siblings and myself would climb and sit in and we have a picture of all four of us in the tree. We eventually moved out and a couple years later we decided to go back and ask the people living there if it was okay if we took a picture like the one we had before as a “past present” type thing but when we got to the house we realized the tree was gone. It was real disappointing and we never did ask why it got chopped down but that’s the way things happened. Now my paragraph for the now is done. Have a nice day if you’ve read this far. If not, have a nice day anyways.
Rip tree
Speaking of cutting trees down my family had a big tree that was tall enough to reach the neighbors cross the street it was on hill of course. When it was time to cut it down it nearly hit a car that was coming towards it. Luckily he stop before the tree hit him.
ihave wanted to know how stephen looked with long hair, that is no longer something i wanted to see with how insane his hair looks now
6:30 Is it just me or does it look like your parents hired Mario & Luigi to remove that tree???
There's a goodbye moon joke in here somewhere. Also apparently Stephen can fit both cats on his lap. It's just a bit of a struggle.
OH MY GOSH STEPHEN WAS A BLONDE AS A KID!!!!
oddly enough the scenario you mentioned about a tree branch hitting a car well funny enough when I was little in the 1st house I lived in (we moved like 3 times, same town different houses) a tree branch decided to fall down onto our truck actually and my mom had to call in to work saying she wasn't going to be in and we weren't coming to school just b/c of the safety that involved the truck and making sure the branch and tree was taken down probably and I and my sister were like 4-5 at the time when this happen
can someone please explain the dates
Vlog time
Yay
Stephen I haven't been watching recently sorry if you already talked about it but how the hell are you suppose to catch up
I've wondered that myself. A lot of vacation with no vlog content. Kinda disappointing, to be honest.
Is it weird I enjoy the longer hair on Stephen
I thought that having two Kitties on your lap was impossible Stephen
I am honestly surprised that the tree was there that long with how many hurricanes ya'll have had
I’m really glad they cut it down. Florence would have brought it down like this *imagine that just I snapped*
Stephen grow out your hair. You might end up liking it longer.
I kinda like Stephen’s poofy hair hahaha
Was it just me or did that picture with the tree and the house not look real and more like it was in from the Sims?
It looks like it was taken from Google Street View. Those images tend to look a little warped/choppy.
wernt0 looked normal to me.
Foreshadowing?
Scince when did you have the fucking world tree in your front lawn
Those guys who cut y’alls tree down are Mario and Luigi because they’re wearing red and green
Sometimes you have 4 kiddes on your lap (yes I have four cats)
Nice afro, Stephen.
Stephen kinda looks like Adam Scott
Your hair looks like my younger brother's hair in this! The only difference is color.
Stephen should keep his puffy hair
hair for days lol
