That’s great!
Don’t you worry, all genuine work related expenses. It’s a great life, especially for the hangers on, the ‘I got my YouTube start through SJ’s channel’ types, the hur, hurring, snorting and balding, interrupting interloper being a primary benefactor.
Does one blame her? She’s the money source for the original purchase and now she’s shut out of decision making by a histrionic, excitable daughter and the plate collecting Sir Baldy Snortalot AND she’s filmed every time she appears around a corner.
If I’m with other people I eat mine with a knife and fork mainly because if I were to pick it up the salad, dressing and whatever would end up on my clothes
I do so agree @KyBourbon Michael's vlogs are becoming thoroughly enjoyable again. This week's was excellent, showing himself setting up his painting and explaining his processes. Channeling his inner Claude Monet. I liked his humorous dig at the Strawbridges but agree it could become tiresome if he keeps doing it. The Strawbridges are about to be on their uppers. Much deserved, IMHO, not nice people.I watched Michael Petherick’s latest video and saw he’s back to doing what he does best. Overall a solid performance…wasn’t “manic” this week. I think it helps with his views that he releases his videos consistently on Mondays so his subscribers know when to expect them. Noted the “dig” at Dick Strawbridge…yes, it was funny, but Michael really just needs to move on. All the drama happened years ago and the Strawbridges are getting their karma. Time to let it go!But the big question…who is Alex behind the camera? Volunteer? New boyfriend? What does he look like? Quit teasing!
The way I see it…if people are willing to look beyond Michael’s past transgressions and move forward, he should do that, too. Seems like he can’t help holding a grudge. So far, it looks like he’s back on track…but he’s got a long way to go to fully redeem himself in my eyes. Let’s see if he can keep it up
Continuity my ass, Mr Wilder
I hope you feel better soon! It’s amazing what we are low on and nobody thinks of these things. Dr.s don’t do tests for low magnesium as it’s hard to detect. My legs started to tingle the other day and I realized I’m low on magnesium. Since taking it, it’s going away. I use to do Epson salt baths but ran out, I went and bought more.Most people don’t think about it but milk is fortified with vitamin D here in the US. The medical industry has known for years we’re all deficient in vitamin D. I figured out I was at 38 when I started having weird numbness, tingling, brain fog and vertigo. My muscles in my neck and back were so stiff I couldn’t turn my head. I’d also get upset and hyperventilate when I heard other people yelling at each other. I didn’t care one hoot about what they were saying, my body would just react. I went to all kinds of different specialists and they couldn’t find anything. I was tested for MS and after reading all about it, I learned every single person with MS is deficient in D. I started taking it, a daily multi, extra calcium, extra zinc, and a B complex. (mainly for nerve health). If I didn’t take magnesium my face would tingle. One of my legs was numb for almost a year.
I also read that if you take heartburn medicine like Tagamet (proton pump inhibitor) that it will strip your body of magnesium (so will alcohol and coffee). Up to that point I’d been taking it every day for four years. After starting the vitamins my heartburn just disappeared. Haven’t had it in 15 years. I got all of my nerve function back (as far as I can tell) after about a year and a half. The tingling stopped, unless I binged drinking. The next day my arm or face would tingle. To this day if I run out of magnesium or d for a few days, problems will start to creep up. I still deal with a lot of strange muscle stiffness and pain and I now take meds for fibromyalgia. They don’t totally work. I have to do a lot of massage and Epsom salt bath soaks as well as heat packs.
I think all this long CoVid study will be helpful to people like me, and also for better understanding MS, chronic fatigue, brain fog, and fibromyalgia. I think they all come from a combination of genetic factors, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and a viral infection that lingers or lurks in some part of the body. I was really sick with some kind of infection right before I had all the weird symptoms. The worst was trying to walk a block to grab lunch. I’d start out okay, get about 1/2 a block from my office and I’d start to tingle on one side of my body, I’d feel like I was going to lose control of my legs, and the ground would look like it was moving toward me like I was tipping over. I would freeze and lock my legs and just stand there for a minute. Then I’d turn back around and pray I could make it back to the office. I also started having ocular migraines. I didn’t know what they were at first. I thought I was having a stroke. I’d see flashing rings of light and my vision would go blurry. They lasted about forty minutes. I still have them sometimes, but not very often. I was in perfect health and my BMI is/was 22.
Taking supplements was the only thing that helped me. I had to come up with it on my own. The neurologist, ophthalmologist, rheumatologist, and my regular doc did nothing to help me. I was prescribed anti depressants.
I currently deal with insomnia (hot flashes at night don’t help), fibro, depression (who knows - I’m not sure but I take antidepressants), newly worsened allergies and now asthma (I think I had CoVid before we knew what it was at the beginning). I think the asthma and allergies is possible due to having CoVid. I had a really strong reaction to the vaccines and was sick for a couple days after.
Looks like Percy had filler too…
I just go straight at it, I don’t care if it’s fancy or if there are people around. If there are paper napkins, I wrap one around the bottom to keep the burger together and catch the drippings. If not, hopefully there is a toothpick in it to keep it together. To me, there are certain foods you have to eat with your hands or you look ridiculous. Fried chicken, French fries, peel and eat shrimp, or any sandwich has to be hands.If I’m with other people I eat mine with a knife and fork mainly because if I were to pick it up the salad, dressing and whatever would end up on my clothes

Whew! I thought this is going to go downhill quickly if he starts tracing that photo!!! So whew! Thank goodness he was seriously drawing this one! Love the cinematography of his videos and the theatrical music was perfect!!! A little Downton Abby-ish even!!! 
It looks larger than Isabelle's teacup, like maybe a two handled bowl for cream soups. It kinda looks like it has two handles if you look closely.Is it just me, or does that teacup look HUGE?

What does a mustard colour heart represent?
Or someone has been messing with filters trying to be arty.
Acorn by Georg Jensen? My absolute fave!
Well, Snorts could use one....
I think the baths are great. I think it seems to absorb through skin better than taking a supplement.
