You're doing a great job whether you're filming yourself or not. I hear your voice, I love your humor, and you explain everything very well. Almost 33,000 subscribers agree with me. Sometimes others, will, talk smack about you to keep from having to look at themselves. It's easier...isn't it? To each his own!@@thediystruggle
