IM LISTENING GREG!!!! I'm so sorry you had a childhood like that. Every child, EVERYONE should be heard! I'm listening to all of your rants because that's a natural part of life. And I think you are awesome Greg!!!!
I got to the point that I did what I wanted on my birthday by myself . I didn't need any one else there to enjoy myself . Cancel the plans your mom made and go do your own thing,she wants to call you selfish then say yep it's my birthday. Go eat where you want , stroll the stores you want. Enjoy your life and stop trying to make everyone else happy when it makes you miserable
Preach Greg...you are special and you are seen to us here. I've always enjoyed your vent videos. Thanks for being back and hope you will be here to stay this time. Thanks for being you!❤
Hi Greg, happy to see you today! I, too, am not very social so I can totally relate to when you talked about not wanting to do certain things. I never felt like I fit in when my extended family would get together. I didn’t enjoy any of their small talk and couldn’t discuss anything I was interested in because nobody had the same interests as me. My mom used to plan stuff for my birthday too and while I appreciated the effort, it always ended up being stuff SHE liked to do that I had NO interest in! Never apologize for talking about anything or expressing your feelings. If people don’t like it, they can skip this video. Love all of your blankets that you make so I look forward to seeing this one❤
I understand how you feel Greg. I’m sorry. As a kid, my mother always blamed, accused and punished me for so many things that I did not do or say. Also told everyone constantly that I was the black sheep of the family. It caused my dad, siblings, aunts, uncles, etc. to believe her and I was treated very negatively. My mom didn’t want to celebrate my birthdays like she did for my siblings and so much more. It wasn’t until she passed away that slowly my dad and siblings started to realize that I was completely opposite from the poison she told them. I couldn’t ever understand why she had such a hate on for me. When they started to communicate with me and invite me to activities with them, I really enjoyed it but I couldn’t completely relax and trust them not to lash out and hurt me. So for birthdays, I can’t be comfortable with family or friends who want to get together and do something. I really can’t handle being the centre of any recognition. I would really prefer to ignore the day if I could. This year, I had really wanted to visit a unique yarn store that supports quite a few local creators, designers, weavers and all types of yarn. On my birthday, they were having a special fibre artist guest. That would have been an enjoyable birthday treat for me and they were only about an hour away. Eventually, I will go there. Vent all you want Greg! I think I’m a good listener, as I’m sure majority if not all of your subscribers are too. I hope you have an enjoyable vacation and birthday!🤞Take good care of yourself!🤗👍🥰🇨🇦
I love listening to you! There are so many things that hit me as funny since I went through the same things growing up. I was the oldest in my family and I always got blamed for everything that went wrong. When I grew up and went to visit my parents, my brother and sister always ignored me. I don't know what their problem was but now that both of our parents are dead, neither of them talk to me any more. Oh well, no lost sleep over that for me. I just hope you get to do what you want to do for your birthday. I think you are great and deserve to enjoy your special day.
Hey Greg, I am listening, and you can rant all you want. I am sorry your childhood was so rotten. You need to enjoy your birthday your way. A day of spending time in shops selling the things you love sounds like a very fun way to spend your day. I hope you have a great birthday this year. ❤
Greg I hope you have a fantastic birthday this year. You just need to do what's best for you and your own mental health. Go out on your own and have the best time doing you. 🎉❤🎉
👋 Greg! My family knows me as the "one who caves in". Mom's are a challenge sometimes, but she is all I have left. She asks for help when needed but doesn't like it if I volunteer! lol Hoping you find ways to enjoy your Birthday no matter how you spend it. Your blanket is a great way to use up some of the OGO yarn. Feel better and take care... 🌞
Thank you for sharing your (rant) with us, we care about you very much. And I also need to rant at times… have a great vacation and I hope you get your Asian food, yum yum
My Mother was also very good at making me feel unwelcome and made me feel like I was a burden. She never took me to the doctor, but took my brother and sister often. It's very hurtful. 😢
Us awesome weird people need to stick together ❤ I’m sitting here relating to your story so hard. Fellow oldest, emotionally neglected sibling here. I’ve also been fired for speaking out about my coworkers. You can hang out with me and my crochet group anytime! ❤
First and foremost, Happy Birthday Greg!...family is hard, I have a similar story with my sister that I won't go into but she once asked me how much (her words) shit was I going to make referring to my crochet...I always looked up to her so I stopped doing what I loved for 2 years...I started watching YT videos, picked up my hook and said the hell with it, it's nobody's responsibility to make me happy but me...once I said that I had to let all of that pain go, granted ir's taken years but I had to...I still struggle but not like I use to, I wasted so much time thinking about things I couldn't change anyway, it's still there you can never forget it but you can change how you view it...I'm sorry that happened to you but you are not your family....break the cycle and do what you want for your birthday...
Some people just don't understand fiber artist or crafters. It's a talent and I think they're just jealous and can't deal with it. I like to be creative(not tacky) when wrapping gifts and a woman at church snootily said "My, someone's been crafty." It was like that was beneath her. I actually feel sorry for people like that. Keep crafting, Greg! Ignore the nay sayers.
Hi friend.. glad to see you. Don't apologize for " ranting". We all need to vent or talk to someone. As far as your birthday goes, YOU NEED TO DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO GREG. It's 1 day out of the year, so CELEBRATE it the way you want to. Don't feel bad/guilty for others. Do what makes greg happy. Guilt or no guilt, YOU DO YOU, FRIEND. I wish you the bestest day/birthday, friend. And I pray you get well from being sick. Love and light, my friend. Fyi.. if you ever come to Virginia, I WILL COOK YOU SOME AUTHENTIC. CHINESE FOOD 😂❤
Hi Greg… hope your next birthday is a better one… don’t apologise for venting . Your Tunisian crochet looks really cool. I have never tried that before, so may have to check it out. 🧶😊
Greg, you seem to be doing wonderful. Fur Babies know when we feel sick or hurt. They are very intuitive. I hope you get to enjoy your Birthday. I love the Tunisian Crochet. Do you ever go to MDL Michael's lives or videos? I haven't followed him to learn Tunisian yet. Not sure I want to do Tunisian. Maybe you could do tutorials some time.I wish you a Very Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 Thank you for your time you spend with us. Rant naw you are fine. See you soon. ♥️🥰🤟🏻🙏🏻
Everyone needs to rant or vent. I don't like steak either. I don't do my birthday at all. I could care less about it. You take care. Happy early birthday and try to enjoy your day
I hope you make a speedy recovery, especially before you go on holliday.😊 i hope you enjoy your holiday aswell. I love your watching video's. XxxX.😂❤😅❤😊❤
Hi Greg, I look forward to your wind downs, it’s like chatting with a friend. If you want descent Indian food ( outside India) you need to come to the middle of the uk . Birmingham and surrounding areas are not called the Baltic belt for nothing
Hi Greg, love your 10 stitch Tunisian blanket. Please can you do a tutorial?I wanted to do the one on your "Hey fiber friends" channel, but it was taken off before I got around to doing it. Have a great vacation 🎉
Hey! There is a good Asian restaurant in Helen, GA and a decent one in Hiawassee, GA. I love the Alfredo sauce at Olive Garden but that’s about it besides 2 of there soups. Also, I usually get some kind of chicken at steakhouses.
take care of your mental health i know what its like if you dont want to socialize or go where people want you too say no they be mad for a bit but will get over it
I uae an 8mm hook with that yarn and it does not curl on the edge, I will not use a medal hook as the weight cause in my arms. Knitter pride does make a fixed lenght plastic hook but it is not stiff, it is flexable I make most of my hooks for wooden knitting needle. Really like the Knitters Pride..
If it's only 10 stitches on the hook at a time then why not use the regular prym hook and save your pinkie? My Clovers have done 8 tunisian simple stitches without any problems.
Please also put in mind, that I've been hearing that RU-vid is unsubscribing people from channels for some reason. Not sure why. But Juan is having the same issues
I smiled at your rankings of the different types of restaurants. I can guess that you would have high standards since you cook for a living.. Do you have a pattern on your site for the blanket you are working on today.
Hello there, This is my 1st time watching your video, it was populated on youtube, so I clicked on it. I may have a few grey ogo yarn. If it matches the same grey you have, I will be happy to send you what I have. Just consider it is your birthday gift. i live in Canada, I have to be at work tomorrow. i will get back to you. by email if you do have an email on your chan. it is 3am BC time. I have to go to bed now. Oh, I have subscribed to your chan. Take care. Tina.
Hiya Greg Why don’t you use a normal hook as it’s only 10 stitches put an elastic band on the end of the crochet hook that’s what I do and it’s easier.
