@Epitome635 years ago We say morning to each other here (my wife and i) because of you. In a cheery voice. You do what you like. We dont know when you make the video anywa id="hidden2"y. What i like is your enthusiasm. Steve irwin affected me the same. He could talk about what many would find kinda bland, but his enthusiasm would keep viewers engaged. You have that gift as well. Thanks. ...Expand 22
