The Chateau Diaries #103 Keep your dreams, SJ. Give everyone else their money back

[Marty McFly 9]

I think MPK or Billy should dedicate a video to Pa Petherick. Talk about his background and life experiences…maybe include some photos from the past. It seems everyone likes Pa…it would get a lot of views and likes, and the video would be a great keepsake for Ernest and Archie to remember their grandfather. Pa seems like a hardworking, no-nonsense kind of guy. He’s of the era where men didn’t really express their feelings…I’m glad that things are slowly changing where that’s concerned.

There was this live Q&A with Pa, but it would be nice to see them do more with his life story and photos. Though maybe Pa doesn't want to ...

Interesting news old' second-rate camera boy is headed to SA. It might make for interesting (in the most craptastic sense) viewing.

Of course they will not make many videos in January. I'm betting she made way over $30,000 in advertisement revenue last month alone. In contrast, January is just about the worst month...so why bother for so little pay?

An end-of-the-year project re-cap would be nice, including goals for next year. Additionally, a nice simple vlog, where there is no gift-grabbing, buying $100 bottles of wine, or running around sticking the camera in someone's face would be nice. Back to the basics...something in the order of cleaning up Christmas or a sewing project. Calm the hell down.

P.S. Dear CD...with the reduced workload of filming and editing, can you please take my name off the wall of shame that proceeds the videos? I haven't been a Patreon to your channel in months. ~Thank you in advance.

I wonder how many other ex-Patreon's are in the same predicament?

I have often wondered how well that is updated. I bet she just adds on the newbies but never takes off the inactives. That would take too much organization. Do you still get hand written notes from her like she used to show on SD?

I love when thy have a party, Pa is always up dancing his socks off. He's hard-working but he's also got some moves.

So, Patreon started in February 2020 a month before lockdown...what fortunate timing that was! She had an explosion of new viewers with a Patreon already established.

What's her YouTube and ad income per month? I'm curious what her actual personal income is. The B&B income probably goes back into the B&B upkeep or does it , we know she started doing laundry service when the B& B opened up to guests again

 

[Sparrowsfart]

What interests me is how long was fanny able to keep phillis from mummy. Did he ever met her (in person)? I dont think so. This will be one hella trip

Yes they have meet not sure if they Fanny was screwing him at that time though

 

[ComtesseRose]

What do you have against Leos

I'm a Leo, that is why I took a light hearted piss out of being the same zodiac sign as La Jarvis, Potts and a certain douchess.

vedic or not

Fixed that.
Some countries do follow Vedic astrology and the dates shifts from Western astrology.
Which means people like me have two zodiac signs. Vedic - Cancer : Western - Leo
So, if I ever feel icky about being the same zodiac as the above mentioned three, I could always jump the Leo sign ship and sail the Cancer sign boat... (That was the joke)

 

[Beau Monde]

I can't watch Rien! His voice is like nails on a chalkboard. I follow a few French real estate vlogs. My dream would be to live in a pretty French town, walking distance to restaurants and stores. Maybe a tiny garden. I wouldn't want a lot of land to care of.

 

[Lady Avonlea]

I guess Stephanie and Michael have had the same problem. They lived in the middle of nowhere and were single. There’s apparently no one to be met there. Stephanie has, however, been very lucky converting volunteers into bed partners, whereas Michael, has not been as successful. Maybe she could write a book. “How to find Sex Partners in the Middle of Nowhere - Tips and Tricks”.

Ruth could be her ghost writer.

Can anyone tell me what is the actual point of the photoshoot? For patreons to see? Are we going to use the images as digital wallpaper? It was such a vanity project and anyone with class wouldnt be sharing these. It is a desperate and vain attempt of an ageing lady to show off her beauty to her admirers, for what purpose? It has nothing to do with the restoration of the chateau, and i as a Patron am annoyed by this in my inbox. I dont dare question it on her pages as i will be attacked by superfans. Fyi i am a 1 dollar patron, just to piss her off!

1. For Curtis's portfolio.
2. For Stephanie's own memorabilia...I bet Curtis brought up the idea (see #1) and SP exclaimed "YES!!!! LETS DO IT!!"
3. vanity projects (see 1 & 2)

 

[Lady Avonlea]

Shushhhhhhhhhhh you! Some of us Leos are not very happy that Fanny is also one and that we share some similar traits
My husband is a Libra ( perfect sign match ) so if Snorts is really a Libra, we may be punished for their relationship for even longer than thought

I’m just relieved we’re both not Libra’s.

 

[OhIDontKnow...]

No Dan vlog tonight? Wonder why that could be?

He’s going to have to start saying “I’ll see ya, when I see ya”…..

Well I hate to burst the bubble but bottoming on coke is even worse - it's a laxative. I think it'll suffice to say MPK is not one you want to be in bed with

Because they cut it with baby laxatives.

 

[Madame No]

Talking of photo editing Curtis states the photographs he took were not airbrushed but used lighting techniques... are airbrushing and photo shopping two different things?

That Curtis is a slippery one! He didn't have to airbrush anything, photoshop has all kinds of tricks and "techniques". Lighting! Ha, ha! Good try! He must think everyone but him is an idiot!

 

[Yettie]

Maybe we should send him this book ........

OH PLEASE POST THE PATRON VIDEO YOU RECEIVED FOR NEW YEAR’S EVE!

 

[Lady Avonlea]

Oh vey, I am so excited about Fanny's upcoming merch line (sarcasm.) I can only suspect it will consist of a line of tea towels, mugs, t-shirts, aprons, refrigerator magnets, spoons and other granny-approved items with in the themes of peacocks, the shitoo, and toile patterns. Somewhere, some poor kid is going to be gifted a t-shirt in a toile pattern from his CLL-Patron granny.

Don’t forget the hot water bottles and beanies!

I haven't watched any of Ryan's videos for months but just watched his videos on house buying and they are actually good. He's found some interesting places, covering a reasonable budget with plans on how to make the places work for him to provide income ... and none of the plans include holding festivals in a chateau!

He's working out mortgages, properties with businesses attached in villages. He also speaks fluent French so could run a business in a village.

Everyone likes a bit of house porn so I think he's found his niche; reasonably priced properties and Gangsta Grannies could afford! Not some chateau next to a cemetery that costs a fortune to furnish and heat.

As someone said before, Sillymar should get Ryan to find him a suitable place!

Thought Ryan might go back and run Billy’s new brocante when it’s ready. New

Yes! That would be ideal.

What vlogs do you follow?

I think MPK or Billy should dedicate a video to Pa Petherick. Talk about his background and life experiences…maybe include some photos from the past. It seems everyone likes Pa…it would get a lot of views and likes, and the video would be a great keepsake for Ernest and Archie to remember their grandfather. Pa seems like a hardworking, no-nonsense kind of guy. He’s of the era where men didn’t really express their feelings…I’m glad that things are slowly changing where that’s concerned.

I seem to remember way back when that Michael did a sit down with his dad on a live video early last year. It would be great if they did another video on his life.

It all makes sense now. Thank you

 

[elizabethrex]

I didn’t receive any video from NYE! There was a photo of her taken by Curtis in the yellow dress standing in the grand salon, and a gushy thank you email letter. That’s it, unless I’m missing something?
