Are you having a good time? If the answer is no, you're doing it wrong. It's your life to live. Enjoy it while ya have it.

@@patc1096 What's the right way?

Not really both according to science or religion everything you say and do will either be recorded somewhere in the universe or by God. According to physics information contained within the universe can never truly be lost and must be preserved in some way that can theoretically be recovered which includes everything you say and do.

Living the dream...

Sounds like my type of job

Do they have any vacancies? Please.

Playing CoD or Fortnite must be where he gets the madness from nowadays 😂

I want this!

I wonder how many will get your Monty Python reference...

But Father I don't want to be a Lighthouse Keeper.....I want to Siiiiiiii- - No, no, none of that

Until you come to get him, we are not to enter the lighthouse!

Read up on the history of St. Petersburg to learn the full extent of this particular brand of bloodymindedness and stupidity. ^_^ In short; this but with a whole damn city.

Cool

Write down your story and send it to Simon to read.

Did you become a cliche from the job?

Had a lot of time alone with that lens did ya?

Why did you abbreviate george but not washington

Thanks :-) It's the little things that make us happy. 😋 -Daven

Agreed this was hilarious

​@@TodayIFoundOutthis was indeed a fun listen! Do you need a therapist?

Yeah! The old-timey way of saying "shut your jackass mouth"

You live in a lovely area ❤

I remember reading about some of the many of Lighthouses here in the New Orleans area, and along parts of South Louisiana. I know most of the ones I’d read about were operated by families instead of just having a 2-4 people who would rotate off and on. The really good thing about them having families doing it. Is a lot of the stressors that plagued the lighthouses with multiple single men working on them. Is in most cases family members normally have better working relationships when it’s a Husband, Wife, and multiple children too also help out. Some of the lighthouses were placed on small/medium sized islands that the family was able to have Small gardens to add towards their food rations, and another benefit with the lighthouses along the coastal regions of south Louisiana. Is that we have Salt Water from the Gulf of Mexico, Fresh Water Marshlands, and Brackish water in the areas where the saltwater and freshwater met at. So they were able to enjoy all of the different types of seafood those areas provided. An of course they were also provided with fresh Beef, Pork, and Chicken. So with all of those benefits plus a small salary they were paid for the work they did allowed them to live a decent life. Nothing extravagant or anything, but were provided with everything needed to not have to worry about if they’d be able to feed their families. Some of the families that were or became pretty large were able to make a very good lifestyle. Because only so many people are needed to actually operate the Lighthouse. So the sons would expand their family’s income by becoming full time Fishermen and Trappers. Some did so well that their descendants today own a fleet of Fishing, Oyster Boats, and Shrimp Boats. Along with processing plants where other fishermen sell their catch to them, the Processing Plants will then supply restaurants here in the greater New Orleans area and also ships the seafood nationwide. Quite a few of those families companies have became Multi Million Dollar Companies/Corporations. There were also other Lighthouses in the greater New Orleans area along the rivers, and lakeshores that was close enough to New Orleans or other towns around New Orleans that they weren’t away from normal civilization where they would have one family who would take care of multiple different lighthouses. Like the one on Lake Pontchartrain that’s operated by the US Coast Guard today. That one is within New Orleans city limits, and even before it was built up like it is today. Was still just about 3-4 miles from the center of New Orleans. Even by a small Pirogues which is like a flat bottom canoe. Would only take about 30-45 minutes with two people paddling it, and by horseback with a Gallop/Trot was only 15 minutes. It’d take longer to put your Tack on the horse than it is to travel there by horse. Me personally I’ve always dreamed about how I’d like to be a Lighthouse Keeper as long as I had some books to read during my down time. I use to work Offshore on Boats, Ships, and Drilling Rigs. My favorite was on the Supply Boats that only had between 4-6 people depending on the size of the boats. It was normally a Captain, Mate, Two Deckhands, Cook, and an Engineer. We all worked 12 hours on 12 hours off. All I did when I was offshore was work, workout, sleep and read. It’s the most peaceful job I’ve ever had

@@srice8959 Looks like your Area was far ahead on that Topic than any of us at least Central Europeans were! And that approach makes a lot of Sense, especially the Family-focused part. Thanks a lot for sharing this Information! I copy pasted that to my Notes on Lighthouse History, the New Orleans Approach makes the most Sense of what i've seen so far!

I wonder what's worse... being alone on your own or being two people there. Loneliness is ... bad. But imagine how much of a submarine sickness you would have with one another person around. If there is just a tiny little bit of weirdness in that person, it can get monumentally big in time.

I would love another deep dive into this subject from your point of view, perhaps on one of his other channels

Mr. Hiskey doesn't attend parties if he can help it. 😋 -Daven

Why ?

damn. that's a rough life. you, sir, are a champion 😏🤜🤛

Do you have a "home port" or do you travel a lot? I once talked to a guy who lived in a boat in Portland but he had a permanent dock in Portland, OR and had a car and everything

@@Maxtyurwhy what?

I was raised on a lot of sailboats. I wish my family would have kept them longer so I knew how to sail. I am jealous of your ability and home.

Spill ur beans!!

Thanks :-) -Daven

I live in Oregon our coastline is treacherous! It's lovely though, to drive along the coast and visit lighthouses. I like learning the history too. Fascinating! 🌹

I just can't understand why they can't rig some kind of pulley bucket deal right up the middle of the stairs or something. I mean whoever was building the LightHouse must know what the lighthouse keeper was gonna have to do and carrying buckets upstairs seems like a pretty dumb strategy if you could figure out how to engineer something to make it easier

Metaphorical. 😋 -Daven

Was it good please ?

My family have been lighthouse keepers for generations. As such I can confirm that the movie is based on real events.

@@andymouseit’s a bit of a weird movie since it’s just the two actors. however it grips you, it’s brilliantly acted and directed. So if you’re up for a confusing but good movie, go and watch it. (Sorry for being cryptic, don’t want to spoil anything)

@@progressiontrail :)

The wind on the North Sea, during a storm on a ship sounds eerie, like the wail of a million lost souls...the sound is unrelenting. Making it hard to sleep, and hear someone talking from two feet away. The sound alone has driven men mad, and today's sailors have earphones to cancel the sound. Some storms last for days...

He is gifted, has a way with words that is wonderful 🌹

I was thinking the same thing!

@@MADmosche 😂

Same here. 😆

I used to suffer from agoraphobia (sometimes crippling). The usual medications and other interventions just didn't cut it. Eventually, I did a lot of research, found out about MAOI antidepressants, and found a doctor willing to treat me. The medication completely abolished my agoraphobia, and has never stopped working (after 20 years). The dose often has to be higher than what the manufacturers recommend for depression. There are no other drugs that are this effective, including the newer MAOIs. The only ones that work like this are the old ones (Nardil, Parnate, Marplan). If you have never tried one of these medications, I cannot recommend it enough. They're way better than Klonopin, Xanax, etc. and make the other drugs (like the SSRIs) seem like a cruel joke by comparison. The agoraphobia/anxiety just disappears once u get the dose high enough. GONE. I use Parnate because it doesn't cause weight gain, but YMMV. The dietary restrictions and drug interactions are overblown. No emotional flattening/numbness. Some weeks after starting it and raising the dose, I just woke up one day and it was gone.

Everyone always asks who Daven is, but not how Daven is. 😋

Yer fond of me lobster, ain't ye?

I want to see it is it good though ?

​@@andymouse Definitely worth a watch IMO you won't be sorry

I'll have to respectfully disagree. I love Dafoe's earlier works but he's lost his connection with me. He should probably move to France or something where his eccentricities would be more appreciated.

You've already said too much. Wait for the signal

Luckily, they can be easily mollified with a large offering of mealworms and crickets.

It's ok u can talk abt them here, this is KZfaq not Facebook. Mark can't do anything to us if we're not on his platform

That's because Simon is a talking bobble-head. A while back they released a in the shadows episode where they made a mistake and uploaded the pre-edit version of the video. In it you can see what happens behind the scenes. He reads the script essentially word for word and then when he fumbles a line, rather than doing it again, he simply rewinds a sentence or two and continues reading it off like nothing happened, leaving it to the editors to fix it in post. Not to take away from his charm and personality, but it really is driven by the writers themselves.

I make a point of visiting museums and any standing lighthouses that still have those lenses. I'm fascinated by how they work.

Most if not all British people pronounce the "s" in that name/word. And no, we don't give a damn how it's "supposed" to be pronounced 🤪😁

Also in VR goggles!

@@___._ And flat screen TVs

@@DavidStruveDesigns ​ Oh, really, I didn't know that, thanks. I used to work in theatre, but the term never came up in discussion with my British colleagues. Fwiw, I find British mangling of French to be funny. One of my favorites is how you pronounce "Debussy."

Up until the early 1990's it was as good as most places.

Oh yea, well my grandad died in the holocaust. He fell off the guard tower. 😂😂

I couldn't agree more I would have loved it

hell yeah !they must have had them, surely
