Wow, I can't even imaging the pain you had to endure! I am so sorry you had to go through that. I thought the world was falling in on me when I got a non-valid copyright strike, and that is a fraction of a fraction of what you went through. I have had my channel since 2007 and you are one of my first subscribers, by the way.
Fate has truly led me here, got a turntable for VERY cheap, the volume pot is very scratchy though, found your video on how to clean potentiometers, did not really expect that the channel would be active anymore but I am very surprised to see that you just very recently started uploading videos again! I don't have any contact cleaner though and I don't want to risk damaging the plastic with the IPA, so I'll have to live with the scratchy pot for now.
It’s crazy that you got sick around the same time I did. In early 2016, I developed Ulcerative Colitis myself. It got very bad, and very fast. I ended up in the hospital a few times and eventually got a full colectomy. That year and a half between getting sick and getting both surgeries was the hardest time in my life. I’m in a much better place now though. Is the surgery on your radar at all? Anyway, to see you made another video, I’ve been watching your Instagram in the meantime. It’s sad though to hear about Dexter falling out with Bruce, I remember watching the videos on here of them playing around. Hope everything works well.
Love the name Oliver, but i may be bias since thats my last name😉😆 I named our pitbull Ollie, so he could be Ollie Oliver 😁 Glad the dogs are still around too. Pitbulls are amazing with kids. Now that you're back, i hope some of your content will show that. Sorry that happened with your channel. Im the same with politics. I consider myself pretty "independent" bc some things i believe align with the left and some align with the right. I think the red hat was a cute idea actually🤷♀️ Anyhow, hope to see more from you on these RU-vid streets.
