It was great to see it live. Always like getting in on the ground floor. I do have to agree with the live chat, Zo acts you out of the frame. really glad to have you back and creating.

Now about asperger’s. My kids also showed some similar overreactions when their food is prepped in a strange way. But what did I do? No, I didn’t try to trick them that the days were different when someone else other than their mother was making their sandwich and the crust was left on or the egg wasn’t runny enough or it was the wrong bowl for that kind of cereal or the popcorn was not in the ‘popcorn cups’ for movie Tuesday.

They were showed a butter knife and shown how to cut the crust of themselves if they didn’t like it so much to cry about it; they were given all the ingredients for a ham and egg sandwich and offered under supervision the chance to make it themselves; they were shown a stepping stool and shown where the bowls and cereal were; and the same for the cups for popcorn. What was the result? The 5 year old gets everything ready except pouring the milk; the 8 year old knows how to make their own breakfast safely; and the 2 year old will eat the popcorn out of the different cup or not eat any at all if it comes to that. Guess which decision the 2 year old took.

I can understand that you don’t need to be diagnosed with crazy conditions just because you prepare yourself to have something a certain way, and that plenty of grumpy snobby adults do the same at restaurants when they get a different cook. They throw a fit no different than a child would.

The mark of maturity is to prepare yourself on how to deal with disappointments and find solutions without being paralyzed by them or emotionally wrecked by insignificant things that, ultimately, are being left too much in the hands of someone else.

“I don’t need a ride, I need ammunition!” The words of an actor playing their part and nothing more. Where was his armor? There were lawyers in Benghazi with gold plated AK’s. You want me to believe this joker is a freedom fighter, and the fearless camera team was no other than the noble CNN? Hmm.
When you have an invasion from a nation of cousins, mad about you selling out to their enemy, what do you suppose happens to these key corrupt officials?
The reality is that Ukraine had the perfect soldier when they opened their armories to the nationals, men armed with state of the art weaponry and willing to die to defend their homes and families. With weapons made in the US of A and drones most likely remote operated by American assets. Necessitating bs propaganda about phantom fighters.
No wonder Russia is so PO’ed. They’re not fighting Ukraine, they are fighting Us tech with desperate men of valor, people who were kept in poverty worse than that found in Russia, all thanks to the leeches that ruled over them and squeezed the golden goose until it bled.

Listening only. The song birds are too early by 1 second or two, and .. no sound for the burbling brook?
I can’t see the comments, but Zoe is out-acting you to such a degree it is jarring. Atmospheric feedback makes both of you sound like you’re in different places entirely. If this can’t be helped, maybe you keep a helmet on and add some effect that will mask the issue (ha!).

I love the music. Zo’s acting is damn good. Bill, yah, you need to work on yours, but overall I’m giving this effort a solid 8. Will say, the eyes through the visors are very realistic. The scenery is visually impactful, too.
