Mickey Mouse Collector Paul Bottos D23 Member Documentary

Posted on May 20, 2026 by yoselkbaez36ck

PAUL BOTTOS: This all started with me collecting Mickey Mouse about 30 years ago. I started collecting all the things Mickey Mouse that I could find and then it’s evolved itself into this large Mickey Mouse collection. Sometimes I think “Oh my god, I can’t believe it how did I get all this stuff.” You know, I start piecing all I remember when I got that and remember oh hi remember that, and it brings back you know some pretty cool memories. I had a garage sale when I was around 22 years old.

I picked up an older Mickey Mouse and looked at it, that Mickey Mouse is the Mickey Mouse started it all for me. So this is the original Mickey, so back in the when I was in my 20s, this is the Mickey Mouse I picked up and kind of, the light bulb went on it brought back those good memories that children think about you know when good things happen in life and that started this whole train rolling of me collecting Mickey Mouse’s. It brought back those memories which were really important to me because I didn’t have a lot of them I grew up in foster homes and group homes as a kid. In the group home, that the last one I want in, my Foster Mother we were talking about something that was emotional and I wasn’t crying and that’s that point I never cried and she said it was okay and she, I cried for probably two or three days but and now as you can see anything that’s emotional I let myself cry, because I think it’s important and up until that point I never did so I went I was 13 I probably never cried even though things were bad or sad or upsetting. I’d never ever let myself do that because I was told man are boys they do not cry.

Being here is almost religious to me and I think in some contexts or ways. It makes me feel like I just feel so happy I feel like a little kid I’m 52 years old and I’ll tell you I feel I feel like I’m 20 or you or younger I just I got this smile on my face I can’t get rid of. I just think today’s going to be an amazing. Your idol in life for you but you want to go and meet that person or be where that thing started in life and we can go start here in California and so I’m here I’m here where Mickey Mouse started and this completes part of my life, I guess. Share with my son, just share I share this amazing day too with him.



It’s what I want out of it. I think it is… Micky’s car, oh this is too cool, I have a little one at home about this big. Mickey’s piano, he doesn’t have DVDs. He’s got reels. CAST MEMBER: Would you like to come in and meet Mickey Mouse? PAUL BOTTOS: I do very much so, it’s the whole reason I’m here. ha-ha there he is. Oh, I’ve been waiting to come back to see you. Oh my god, probably have four or five thousand Mickey Mouse. So, I’ve been collecting you for a very long time. I get emotional you know and it’s just a little cartoon character, but it still affects me emotionally and makes me you know feel really good inside. Life’s kind of come full circle, its always nice when you meet your idol I mean Mickey Mouse is my idol and so that’s that cool thing you give a movie star, film star, entertainment business to me Mickey’s that person or that character and I got to do that I got to do it on grand scale.

These are Jeff Shelley drawings that he did for me at a fan Expo. This is Fantasia, so this is a character it actually is right off of my arm. So, the first time I met Jeff Shelley at Fan Expo in 2011. This is the drawing that he did for me. There’s a video out of it, it shows you know I am just in awe. I think that that started like kinship between me and Jeff Shelley and that’s continued on over the years which has been really cool. JEFF SHELLEY: How are you doing? PAUL BOTTOS: How are you? Oh, my god. JEFF SHELLEY: So, you can see some of my collection of Mickey stuff. PAUL BOTTOS: Let’s see, I have that. I have this one and pretty sure I have that one and one like that one. JEFF SHELLEY: Come over here I’ll draw you some stuff. PAUL BOTTOS: I’m holding the real Oscar. This feels like I’m holding history in my hands, this is very cool thing I just collected cuss it made me feel good.

And so, uh but to come and see where it all started is very emotional and overwhelming. six: camera shutter JEFF SHELLEY: So, this is Floyd Gavin’s actual desk that he did all the old comic strips on. KEN SHUE: That drawing board has more Mickey Mouse DNA on it than any other object in the world. six: light switch Come on over here Paul. So, you want to pick that little mini up. Cause she’s only two years old. when she was drawing me, there you go, that’s that that’s the real deal right there. PAUL BOTTOS: That’s the real deal.  I’m like in museum this is unbelievable six: Camera shutter This is amazing six: camera shutter I’m in awe KEN SHUE: This is the original art I have lots of friends in the company that that see me handling these without white gloves, but I want you to handle it without white gloves too. PAUL BOTTOS: Being in that room, I mean when you look at it through the glass is one thing.

But actually, go in there and touch things is. JEFF SHELLEY: I didn’t even get to go in there. PAUL BOTTOS: You can’t put into words how I feel about what happened to me. It’s made this room even more meaningful to me. That’s when it started for me.

Which Essential Oils Actually Work?

Posted on May 20, 2026 by yoselkbaez36ck

Essential oils have kind of a bad reputation. Like a modern day snake oil, they’re touted as cures for all sorts of ailments, from reducing inflammation to treating headaches. Many of these claims are fairly harmless. But some are big, dangerous, and straight up wrong. Like a few years ago when some companies went so far as to claim their essential oils were able to prevent Ebola… Yikes.

So it’s reasonable to be skeptical of these products. But while it’s true that some essential oil treatments are as bogus as healing crystals, others really do have uses that are backed up by research. So draw yourself a warm bath with your favorite scent and relax. We’ll clear the air about which essential oils actually work. Let’s start with what essential oils are: the concentrated extracts from various parts of plants, including the roots, bark, fruits, and leaves. The compounds in these oils are volatile, which means they evaporate quickly. That’s what makes them smell so nice. The uncertainty around whether or not essential oils actually do anything comes in part from the fact that they can be tricky to study. Since essential oils are distillations from plants, the formulation can differ from batch to batch, depending on the plants used and how it’s made. That makes it really hard to compare results across studies.

And even if scientists were able to grow a bunch of identical plants and produce identical oils, there would still be research hurdles to overcome. The gold standard of research is to use a double-blind, placebo controlled study, where neither the scientists nor the participants know who has the treatment and who has the placebo. However, since part of the whole schtick of essential oils is that they smell nice, that makes a blinded trial a bit…complicated. But fear not! People are, despite these difficulties, doing more research into essential oils because they do have some really promising uses. Like making your irritable bowels less irritable. For folks who suffer from IBS, you know that this condition can be…. well, crappy. And one of the most frustrating aspects is that there isn’t a cure. So it would be really cool if something easy and affordable, like peppermint oil, helped relieve your symptoms.

No, sniffing a diffuser won’t make your IBS go away. But if you take a peppermint oil pill that is coated to prevent breakdown until it reaches the small intestine where it can work its magic, there’s some evidence to suggest that it could reduce your IBS symptoms. But it’s not really magic. It seems to work through the menthol in peppermint oil, which blocks calcium channels and can help relax smooth muscle, like the muscles that we have in our GI tract. And more relaxed muscles in the GI tract can help… ”things” go more smoothly. Peppermint oil is also antimicrobial, which can help eliminate undesirable bacteria in the gut. And things that are good for the gut are often good for the butt. Researchers generally agree that this stuff works. A meta-analysis, concluded that peppermint oil is both safe and effective for managing IBS. So when used as directed, peppermint oil pills have some solid research supporting their use in managing IBS.

But the evidence for our next essential oil is a little shakier. I have to admit: It sounds nice to get a bergamot oil massage instead of popping an Advil whenever my back hurts. And bergamot oil is often marketed for pain of various kinds. But whether or not it works is still unclear. Studies of mice have shown that bergamot oil does have active compounds in it that seem to reduce a few types of pain. Basically, those compounds might target the same opioid pathway in the brain that effective pharmaceutical painkillers use. If you do a search through the literature, you can find a lot of peer-reviewed publications that discuss the effects of bergamot oil used in aromatherapy to treat pain… In rodents, to be clear. There just isn’t much evidence that it works for people. The few studies we have with human participants don’t make a particularly good case for bergamot oil as a pain reliever. In one human study, scientists tested whether bergamot oil could reduce perceived pain in people having a procedure called a CT colonography.

This procedure is also called a virtual colonoscopy, where instead of having a camera placed where the sun doesn’t shine, doctors use a CT scan to generate images of your colon. Of the patients in the study, some received aromatherapy with bergamot oil, some listened to relaxing music, some patients got music and aromatherapy, and some received neither. And drumroll please… the researchers did not observe any differences among the groups in terms of their perceptions of pain. But! It’s important to note that a CT colonography shouldn’t be painful. So, without more research, there’s no way to know if an effect would be seen in a more agonizing procedure. It may be promising, but there just isn’t the research in humans yet to really support the idea that bergamot oil is a good pain reliever. But if the pain is from a zit emerging from the depths of your skin, maybe try this next essential oil instead. Thanks to Brilliant for supporting this SciShow video!

There’s a long history of Bundjalung Aboriginal Australians using the tea tree plant to treat a variety of conditions, including colds, sore throats, wounds, and other skin issues. So maybe it’s no surprise that there’s pretty robust peer-reviewed literature to support its use for acne.



When applied to the skin in appropriate concentrations in a lotion, tea tree oil seems to work. The long and short of it is that it’s antibacterial and antifungal, as tested across a wide variety of bacteria and fungi, including strains that can contribute to acne. The active components of tea tree oil can interfere with the cell membranes of bacteria, causing them to become leaky. As you might imagine, when the insides of the bacteria leak to the outside, that’s not good for them. And voila, the bacteria die.

When a study published in the Medical Journal of Australia matched tea tree oil up head to head with the well established acne fighting ingredient, benzoyl peroxide, the essential oil held its own. It didn’t work quite as well as the benzoyl peroxide, but tea tree oil led to a significant reduction in acne. And we often overlook this part, but the patients using tea tree oil reported significantly fewer negative side effects, like skin dryness, itchiness, and redness. So the verdict on tea tree oil is that it is very likely to be beneficial for treating acne, and perhaps gentler than some existing products. And while being gentle is great, we still want products we use to work how we intend them to. Which may not be the case for this next essential oil. Rosemary oil is alleged to help improve memory, simply by smelling it. I say “alleged” because scientists don’t have any idea how it would do that. In one study, researchers speculated that the antioxidant properties protect neurons. But they literally said “we assume” this is how it works.

Which is a bit dubious. There have been some experiments to test this, including one where a group of researchers worked with patients undergoing hemodialysis who needed to be diligent about remembering to take medication. They tested if essential oils could improve patient memory, and therefore increase the likelihood that they took their medicine. And the results were: it didn’t make a difference. As much as I would love to make my house smell like rosemary and improve my memory in the process, sadly, it doesn’t seem all that likely to work.

But if you are looking for an essential oil where all you need to do to reap the benefits is smell it, you’ll be excited for our final oil. Lavender oil has been marketed as a sleep aid for decades. And there are multiple active components in the pleasant smelling fragrance that chill you out. Some act on the GABAergic system, which slows down signals in the nervous system, the cholinergic system, which plays a key role in many of the body’s automatic functions, and the histaminergic system, which is involved in regulating circadian rhythms. All of that comes together to yield real results. Across several studies, lavender does seem to improve sleep. In one of them, participants with insomnia either used lavender essential oils or a sweet almond oil, which served as a fragrant control not expected to have an impact on sleep. Each participant recorded their sleep scores for one week at the start as a baseline, then used each scent for one week in a randomly assigned order, with a one week break in between scents. After all of that, they filled out a sleep quality questionnaire. And it turned out that lavender improved the sleep quality of the participants.

Since the study was small, these results can’t be written in stone. But this type of study has been repeated by other researchers. A similar study was conducted with a group well known for terrible sleep habits: college students. Yep I’m talking to you, get some sleep! And again, researchers found that using lavender aromatherapy at night improved their sleep quality using the same questionnaire. Across many studies, lavender seems pretty promising for improving sleep. It’s very low effort, and is likely to provide benefits. I like that combination. So yes, there are some proposed uses for essential oils that are totally ridiculous. I’m looking at you Ebola claims… watch it!

And if you’re trying to treat a health problem, you should definitely get a medical professional’s guidance. But there are a few essential oil treatments that seem pretty legit. And if you want to go ahead and introduce some of these oils into your routines, they probably won’t cause any harm. Whether or not it does anything, it just sounds so luxurious to treat yourself like one of those rodents sitting by a bergamot oil diffuser and give yourself a spa day. Maybe throw in a tea tree face mask while you’re at it. For data collection, of course. Maybe you could also light your Anubis scented candle. Available over at Complexly. Store, Made by SciShow, it’s got zero medical claims attached.

Therma Comfort 3 lb. Weighted Hot/Cold Neck Wrap

Posted on May 20, 2026 by yoselkbaez36ck

Vonabell came out to me and she said you have to try this this thermal comfort weighted wrap around your neck and I put it on and I like it feels like warm soft hands like rubbing on your neck and on your shoulders this is brand new we’re launching this and I will tell you if you get a chance to grab one of these I have two sizes I have a three pounder a five-pound it is amazing what we’re talking about is the OP the opportunity for hot or cold therapy or just regular therapy for your neck your shoulders anywhere around your front even the top of your chest to make you feel so good these weighted wraps none not unlike our weighted blankets are very very comforting and very very soothing it’s an easy way to be able to remove the stress and the tension of day to day stuff it’s soothing weighted and super soft velvety material it has something we call thermic comfort which.

You can use with either heat or you can use it with cooling relief to give you that great temporary relief in that relaxation at home or even when you travel you can take it with you wherever you go very restful and I love love the aromatherapy that’s built into it let me introduce you to vonabell sherman who is one of our and wellness expert amongst other things but you always bring us stuff that makes our life a little bit better a little bit more relaxed a little bit healthier that’s what these are now we are never aired these before no this is the first time three pound is 24.95 to five pound is 29.95 what these four what do they do for us so many times we carry our tension in our neck and our shoulders and we need something to help relax those muscles but then sometimes and that’s the factor now but on the reverse side sometimes we like couch and we get pain or inflammation.

And we need to be able to treat it with cold the therma comfort does both that’s why we have a freezer out here and a microwave it’s your choice depending on how you’re feeling maybe you’ve had a long day you feel all the tension from all the business or you’re a busy mom and you’ve been lifting kids all day maybe you were shoveling snow in the winter maybe you’re gonna be spend the summer reading and it’s repetitive motion that makes our muscles sore that need that kind of relief and that’s what this does now if you notice it comes around the neck it’s all the way up so it gives you that comfort and then it fans out across your whole shoulders now.

I’m wearing the three pound guy is wearing the five pound you need to choose what’s best for you what kind of weight you would like now what happens is it has clay beads it has mint and I’m going to come right here.A and show you so we have some flaxseed in there we have mint we have the clay beads which is what holds the heat or holds the cold and lavender and that gives a subtle scent it’s not overpowering it’s not like perfume and you love your smell it more if you do the heat then the cold it feels wonderful and it’s so easy so if you want cold put this in the freezer for at least an hour but overnight is better and it will hold that cold for when you pulled a muscle you feel that tension you feel.

That inflammation.

But then maybe you want that you had a long day maybe even commuting into work it was stressful on the train you can keep this at your job pop it in the microwave and type away with this releasing the tension in your muscles while you’re typing while you’re working while you’re changing the diapers while you’re maybe weeding you can wear it because with the clay beads it has weight to it it’s like a hug it doesn’t move around so you don’t have to worry about shifting your it or being uncomfortable it just stays in place let’s go see Patsy over here because it’s for all ages and all ailments and all ages and now Patsy is our awesome senior and she has it around her neck you can see how comfortable it is so we don’t want muscle strains and pulls or the you know just the aging baking things.

That happen to us interfere with being a grandma yeah with you know enjoying.

Your grandchildren and notice it’s on her leg as well lots of people like to use it in other areas besides around their neck you know put it on your leg if you hold that muscle or even turn it around if your road is a little sore turn it around or even you know I have my mic there we’ll do this and yes what we do is a lot of us we grab an ice pack or we grab one of those heat things right and it’s usually a plastic thing and then we try to wrap it in a towel or we wrap it in a washcloth and we try to make one of these ourselves this has already made a head for you and the wonderful part really honestly that I really love about it is I love the aromatherapy part I love it smells like a spa whenever you’ve gone to like a place to get a massage or anything or gone to a therapeutic spa and that everything smells kind of like eucalyptus minty that kind of smells exactly that’s what this has it’s a lavender mint scent and it’s very subtle it’s not going to drive you crazy it’s very subtle I just kind of I know the scent because I’ve you know.

I’ve been to spas before and it’s amazing what I really appreciate is the ways a little bit of the weight that that you feel it penetrating into your muscles because if it was just a heating pad a heating pad you have to kind of hold it down to get it to stay where you want it this stays in place and it like you said before it’s like hands it’s almost like somebody is using heat to rub your neck and shoulders yes the pressure you want to help make that muscle relaxed across your shoulder sweets because we carry that you know our heads weigh about 10 pounds and we don’t feel them because it’s just there and it’s the way God intended it functions but pull a muscle do the wrong thing get in a car accident all of a sudden you’re feeling that 10 pounds sitting on your pinched a nerve in your neck and it is I’m sure you guys have yeah and you’re like you know I I sit there and.

I’m like when somebody has a pinched nerve oh you could say to the mug you can’t go left right you can’t you can actually not turn your head one direction or the other because it’s so painful so what you want to do in the beginning when something like that happens to you is you want to go cold remember you always too cold 24 hours after an injury or a problem and then 48 hours you want to go back to heat because what happens is just like when you hurt yourself on the exterior of your body in the interior body we knew blood is sent to an area to help heal it and then once it’s done that that blood even inside your body will coagulate a bit and it needs to be released and that’s what he does to sort of break down and cleanse out that part of your body as well this works on both fronts so it will be cooling when you need to heal and then it will be comforting and warm when you need to finish that healing process and all you need to do is either pop it in the freezer or stick it in the microwave I love that Vona bell said microwave because we all have those.



At work so if you need to take it or maybe you’re just cold at work maybe you just can’t get the chill out of your body put this around your neck if you’re in your car put it behind you’re the base of your back yes and just lean against it right yes I love your ideas well I love to that it’s made of clay it’s made of an little natural beads I know you’re big on that Bonnibelle is very big on natural which is good the more you can go natural the better but clay which are you know the original cookware pots were made of because it could hold temperature for so long that’s what they use inside here they use clay beads and clay you know clay is porous so it’ll actually hold the moisture it will hold the temperature and it also allows for those healing herbs to kind of be held on there permanently.

As well so I mean it hits on all every level this and so what you’re getting is your thermal comfort wrap the hands out and hugs your neck but it also comes in its case so it’s these two things and the cases so you can keep this clean and if you want to pop it into its case to put it in the microwave or the freezer you can do that that’s totally your option but you do get that bag with it the fabrication on this is super soft it’s a Velveteen so it’s smooth it’s comforting on you and it gives you that weight it gives you that hug now when we talk about seasonal in the winter you’re freezing you come in pop this in the microwave and warm yourself up faster in the heat you just mowed the lawn pull this out of the freezer get it on your shoulders and take your body temperature back cooler faster after being out on the heat so those are great uses and ladies if you’re going through.

That time and that change and you feel that flash coming on get this out of the freezer put it on and it will help you relax and feel better so it does two things with three applications two things is it can deliver heat and it can deliver cold all in one thing and how does it do that with the three things it does so come over here so it has flax inside it has a mint inside it has the clay beads that holds the cold or the heat all these little beads and then it has lavender which is a nice natural scent I’m known for around here for being a little bit of a pain because I’m allergic to most things including cents I can’t do perfumes so my first thought was oh lord can I am.

I going to be able to do this it’s okay if you have if you’re sensitive like me this is not a set off because it’s not flowery mint is natural lavender is natural it’s great it’s a great scent and the scent is brought out a little more in the microwave in the heating process unless alright so here’s what I want to tell you really quickly first of all about on quick thought if you leave it in the bag – it’s great for applying heat or cold anywhere else on your body if you want to put this on your leg or your thigh or you want to put this on your lower back because it stays in its little pouch.

Art Deco in 9 Minutes: Why Is It The Most Popular Architectural Style?

Posted on May 20, 2026 by yoselkbaez36ck

Foreign what comes to your mind when you think of 1920s for most people the 1920s conjure up images of jazz flappers old hollywood the great gatsby and the chrysler building in new york city it was a time of prosperity exorbitant spending and entertainment that gave rise to one of the most popular decorative arts and architecture movements known as art deco characterized by exquisite craftsmanship lavish decoration and rich materials the style has become synonymous with the roaring twenties so what was the art deco movement all about and what differentiates it from other major movements finally despite its popularity today.

What makes art deco so closely associated with the 1920s in today’s video we’ll dive into the history of the era and learn about art deco the style that continues to inspire designers and architects around the world  if you’d like to see more episodes on architecture be sure to give us a like and tell us which topics you want to learn about next art deco was a decorative arts design and architectural style that spanned the roaring 20s and the great depression afterward although it had already appeared in belgium and france before the first world war in the buildings of joseph hoffman and auguste beirei the movement was officially introduced to the world in 1925 it had its debut at the international exhibition of modern decorative and industrial arts in paris after which it was named art deco after the great war europe was left in ruins and confronted with a depressed economy however in 1925 the french were determined to forget the troubled past.

And inspire hope for a better and prosperous future by organizing a fair that focused on architecture and design as crucial players in recovering from wartime devastation the rules of the exhibition required that all pieces reflect aspects of modernity although american artists were not present at the fair the new style quickly became a great success in the united states especially in the realm of architecture.

And not only in the states the movement soon spread throughout the world becoming mainstream in countries like great britain portugal cuba russia indonesia china australia india and brazil driven by optimism progress and technology art deco represented all that was new and progressive favoring modern and opulent designs it’s no surprise that the post-war society embraced it with open arms especially the wealthy and upper middle class who craved a brighter future better entertainment and more over-the-top luxury art deco became a popular style for theaters cinemas ocean liners train stations commercial buildings public buildings.

And the emerging skyscrapers exemplified in the chrysler building by william van allen in new york city it even made an impact on the design of jewelry silverware fine glass objects fashion advertising theater and movie sets cars and everyday objects such as radios and vacuum cleaners however compared to the modernist movements arteco was a more decorative and symbolic expression of modernity marked by a mixture of different styles and ornamentation many different styles and art movements influenced art deco the geometric forms of cubism and dousteal had an important influence on the style as did the machine-like forms of futurism and constructivism art deco also borrowed from egyptian mesopotamian and aztec art as well as classical antiquity chinese.

And Japanese traditional art offered artists a new source of stylistic motifs too even the ballet ruse notably the exotic set designs by Leon bass inspired designers and architects of the time aeradio did find roots in the aran war embracing all kinds of art and focusing on decoration however it was far less ornate and contrary to the curves and the organic forms of Arnold are the was all about straight lines sharp edges and geometry during its heyday in the 1920s the eclectic and sophisticated art deco style represented luxury in opulence combining costly materials and fine craftsmanship with the substantial modernization of art forms seen in the past it was a time when the economy was booming and nothing was cheap about this new style people longed for speed travel.

And adventure and cars produced by Gabrielle vanessa.

And stylish ocean lines like the famous ss idle du France built by the French line they indulged in fun and alcohol which was illegal in the us at the time at lavishly decorated nightclubs people wore glamorous pole poach dresses daring bob haircuts and luxury jewelry from cartier chrome Boucheron and Vancleave and Arpels this glamorous lifestyle is perfectly captured in the works of one of the most famous art deco artists the polish painter tamara de lemnisci her painting style was just as luxurious as her models as she mostly painted portraits of the elite of the era her paintings are marked by clean sensual lines highly stylized forms brilliant colors and smooth textures encapsulating the roaring twenties elegance style and spirit in her most famous work the 1925 self-portrait.



In the green bugatti she portrayed herself as an independent woman of beauty wealth and fashion however when the great depression took hold in the 1930s art deco entered a phase marked by economic limitations and moderation the style became more restrained simplified and austere at that time the u’s replaced France as a leader of the style a new style in architecture called streamline modern appeared inspired by aerodynamic design the style was focused less on verticality and more on low horizontal structures it was characterized by curves long horizontal lines smooth polished surfaces and the use of newly arrived and more affordable materials like chrome stainless steel and plastic after world war ii the popularity of art deco weakened giving way to the strictly functional.

And minimalist modernism nonetheless the style was lovingly revisited by designers and architects in later decades and still inspires as much joy de vivre in people as it did a hundred years ago today you can find many buildings worldwide whose interiors evoked a luxurious style of art deco such as the bar American in London the famous p1 club in Munich or the Fitzgerald suite in new york city’s plaza hotel suppose your wallet doesn’t allow you to party like the great Gatsby in that case you can still enjoy the art deco aesthetic in movies and tv series including the British television series Poirot adapted from the famous novels of Agatha christie Tim burton’s batman and numerous big screen.

And tv translations of Fitzgerald’s famous novel the latest and most extravagant of them being Lerman’s the great Gatsby hey muses what do you find most interesting about the art deco movement are there any important figures of the movement that we left out can you think of any building in your city that resembles art deco style if so be sure to share your thoughts and experiences in the comments and don’t forget to like and subscribe for more great content on our YouTube channel and Instagram page lastly if you enjoy our content and would like to support us you can now become our Patreon our project is self-funded and to continue running it we need your help all donations will go 100 percent towards creating more great stories for  you.
