Your coca-cola bottler presents Claudia Claudia based on the play and novels by Rose Franken brought to you transcribed Monday through Friday by your friendly neighbor who bottles coca-cola Relax and while you're listening refresh yourself Have a coke and now Claudia we are mama. This is it. This is going to be our house. It's our house already What do you think of a mama I think of course it isn't very big Of course, there are a lot of things we have to do to it still You know, I never noticed a broken branch on that beach tree in front We'll have to saw it off right away. Look, there are two windows broken upstairs Did you notice them before David? I did not and it isn't a very nice day either Looks as though it's going to snow. I think rain snow misses weather woman because you're now Connecticut farmers wife don't think you know everything about nature, you know We should have brought mama when the sun is out It isn't fair to the house to see it on a day like this. What's the matter with today? Nothing really except aren't we gonna have to do something to that roof there? Where look there See I'm the leftover that window Just a few shingles. What are shingles made of all kinds of things Cedar or asphalt or asbestos I think what's the best kind David? I've got to learn all about houses right now Well, all the other shingles on the house are Cedar. Is that good? Oh, that's fine. Oh Why hasn't mother said what she thinks of the house? I don't know should we ask her?  No, it isn't what I expect it isn't I suppose It's what I should have expected from David's first descriptions Ever since then I've been so mixed up between walnut trees and bids and authors and Jared Tucker and Mrs Reed that I forgot it was a house Began to think it was some exotic treasure. Say the golden flea Well, do you like it? Like isn't the word for it. It's Well, I was going to say beautiful, but that isn't the word either. It's well, it's real. I Wonder if you two know how lucky you are Certainly are lucky Mrs. Reed offered Jared Tucker the same price for the house alone and yet he liked us better You're incurable aren't you me incurable why I wasn't thinking about Jared Tucker and Mrs. Reed I was thinking of a terribly confused and uncertain world in which you too will have a home We haven't got a home yet. We haven't signed a thing and you can't hurry Mr. Tucker Besides it's still only a house and it really isn't very pretty yet. You have to do a lot of fixing I suppose do we we have to Do a lot of everything. Well, come on mother. We'll show you around Doesn't it look a little different to you today darling just because we know it's ours It looks a little littler all of a sudden how many things there are to do Put on your walking shoes mama. We're gonna explore the estate This is the entrance mama no really I thought it was the exit It's that too. How'd you guess I can't imagine except that perhaps it's the only driveway in sight and this is the house mother No, really so soon Claudia told me once it came at the end of a very long driveway with a row of trees along both sides Oh mama, of course. She said that before she saw it This isn't much longer than your car and the only tree is in the middle. Oh, that's our beach tree Are we going to have peaches? I said beach tree. Oh, is that difference anyway? The branch is broken and we've got to fix that Why don't you make a list of all the things you've got to do? We can get a very strong man to carry it around take a note the first thing we're going to buy as a cow Have you decided what kind yeah, you mean there are different kinds of cows.  It seems like yesterday Yes, child. There are different kinds of cows. There are brown cows and white cows There are jerseys and guernsey there are cows that give milk and there are cows that give butter cows that give sweet cream and cows That give sour cream David can we have a cow that gives a malted milk chocolate malted milk? Strawberry sorry. We only have chocolate. Oh dear. Do you think it'll take a long time before you move in at the present rate? Two or three centuries Jared Tucker isn't even here and we've yet to even sign the contract of sale move in What's the matter? I forgot we had to well Let's go inside mother. How about it? I hope someone was going to suggest that it's a bit cold Stand around outside waiting for mr. Tucker to show up Isn't that the wind I hear do we have a key Tucker always keeps it under this mat After 11, isn't that what he said we we should be here you'll be along any minute It's only a little formality, you know, and then the place will really be almost ours Feels like ours already just wait until it's official Look you two landowners a fine pair you are while you're standing around discussing your status Let me tell you that mine is miserable. I'm cold. Isn't the wind? Even your dog sounds cold What do you think I feel like I forgot all about mama didn't you she makes an awful lot of noise for a mere number one Guest we should have known we'd meet people like her in the country Sir, please.  That's just exactly what we're going to do Mercy have mercy and it's not a question of mercy at all It's a question of Jared Tucker not having left the key under the mat. You mean it isn't there. That's exactly what I mean Oh, and you propose to sit out here in the cold waiting for mr. Tucker to appear Isn't it strange how many advantages of city life suddenly flashed through my mind?  Should we get back in the car? We should not it's our house, isn't it? You just said it wasn't really our house yet. It's enough our house, so it doesn't matter too much We're going through a window. That's fine for you, but what about mama me? Oh, no, don't bother about me. I'll keep warm. All right. I'll go out running with your great day Now what's the matter with mama? I thought she was a second story man from way back She's only a safe cracker. Maybe I'd better climb through and open the front door for the rest. I'll help you Windows are locked try one of the broken ones you can open the lock come on be careful David I'd hate to have the sheriff see you well whose house is it anyway Isn't yours yet just to check the Callity mother a mere little legalism Just a few splotches of ink on an old piece of paper Claudia you stand right there. I'm going to put my foot on this I can stand right here on the window reach up across this upper window here and David don't slip I can't look And then reach David someone shouting at you let him shout I take my left hand put it here on the upper Window sill no call to go busting into other people's houses young man In the name of the law you come down from there. Well, sir. I'm afraid there's a misunderstanding You see this isn't somebody else's house. This is mine But I'll come down you said something there young fella You are coming down as deputy public prosecutor of this county. I have half a mind to call the sheriff He's my brother, but it is his house. It's our house That makes you Delilah Tucker and him Jared Tucker Well young woman may interest you to know that I'm Rupert Hankins and I'm Jared Tucker's counselor at law And you ain't my client.  We we've just bought this house from mr. Tucker and you're here with the papers mr. Hankins. Yep I'm here with the contract to sale unsigned by either party but nothing else you just said is so You haven't bought the house young man and have not taken title and you have no rights of entry or possession Well, I was only climbing in a window to let my wife's mother in the door You are guilty of a flagrant trespass, which we shall investigate in due course Trespass my foot mr. Hankins my son-in-law is a gentleman who does not like to leave ladies outside to freeze on a day like this Maybe what do you want to go breaking a window for well it was broken already prove it But don't you see it doesn't matter mr. Hankins because it's our house anyway, not yet. They Well legally he's right darling better go inside and get this window straightened out then we'll take up the contract Why mr.  Maybe I'm a lawyer. You said straighten the window out Aren't we going to sign the contract of sale? Ah Maybe the window comes first All right, it's open and I'm grateful Why it's just as cold inside as it is outside Usually is well mr. Hankins Let's just forget about the window and sign the contract of sale and we can finish this up with as little delay as possible Maybe where do I sign mr.  Yes, this is our house. Maybe first you got to get it Ain't got yet before that we got no how this window got broke mr. Hankins It's our window see a young woman. It ain't your window now, and it won't be when we've signed this But I thought we were buying the house today. You thought wrong You see the share piece of paper this doesn't give you the house This says that you agreed to buy the house from Jared Tucker is Jared Tucker's got the right to sell it to you But of course he has the right he owns it you think he has a right And I think he has and Jared thinks he has but none of us know except the county clerk and he isn't saying Why isn't he saying cuz he don't know neither? No, mr. Hankins mean that the deed has to be certain what did we haven't done anything? Oh, yes, you have young woman your bamboozled Jared Tucker and to sell on the house to you instead of other people who Give them a better bargain. Do you know why he did? I don't know. I'm not asking I'm Jared's counselor at law and what part of his business isn't legal. I ain't interested in did he give you any idea He did not now if you will admit to break in the window we can't proceed, but we didn't I admit it That's better and now I trust you will retain me to search the title I should think it would be up to Jared Tucker to prove his title it is you want someone to confirm the findings on your behalf Don't you all right, mr. Hankins. I retain who did Jared Tucker retain that you're confirming me And you realize mr. Norton that in the signing of the contract to sale I am acting as your attorney. I realize Claudia look it's snowing and you and your wife understand it by signing this contract You agree to purchase this property and all buildings structures and pictures appertaining there, too We do what did he say in the event that Jared Tucker is able to establish clear title to same And if you fail to execute the agreement your deposit is forfeit we do That's the way you shouldn't feel about your first house maybe all right sign here, please this is it Claudia at last your first These programs star Catherine Bard as Claudia and Paul Crabtree as David and the entire production is supervised and directed by William Brown Maloney Are you one of those hostesses who fuss for hours on party preparations getting yourself all worn out in the process?

Hey guys, welcome back to my channel, or welcome if you're new. For those of you who maybe don't know me, my name is Sam, and we're doing a Q and A, so you're about to get to know me. I was working earlier today, so excuse my appearance. I posted on Instagram this morning, asking if you guys had any questions for me, and I thought let's just sit down and do a casual video. So yeah, I didn't like bother doing a full phase of makeup and all that. This is just like real life. I am gonna be pouring myself a glass of wine. So if you would like to do the same, get yourself something to drink or a little snack, let's just hang out. A portion of this video is sponsored by Bright Cellars, so big thank you to them. If you've never heard of Bright Cellars before, they are basically a wine subscription service.  If there's a particular bottle in your box that you don't love, you can just let them know and they will replace it for you with a different one, and you can also skip or cancel any time you want. Personally, I love to have wine on hand at all times. If I ever have friends over, or if I just wanna unwind after a long day of work, you know, have a glass with dinner or something like that. Normally when I go to the store, I like to try different kinds. Honestly, I just go base off of like what the bottle looks like. But it's always like a hit or miss. So Bright Cellars is really cool because they have hundreds of different exclusive brands. So you get to try wines that you've never tried before. So I got my six bottle box a couple weeks ago, and I love the way everything came packaged, and they all come with these little cards which has the label of the particular wine, so it's really easy to match it with the actual bottle.  So the one I'm gonna be drinking is from the brand Sprig & Rose. It's their 2021 Symphony Wine. This has peach, pineapple, jasmine, and lemon zest. It's a summery wine that's off dry and slightly sweet. This just sounded really good right now, just like something nice and light. And that's what I like. I typically, I like my wine not too dry but not super sweet either. So let's try this one out. Wine glass, by the way, is from Ikea, if you're wondering. Oh my God. Okay, I'm not even just saying this honestly because of the video. This is really good. I'm gonna order this one again. This is like my perfect bottle of wine. Oh my God. There was another one that I tried which was a Chardonnay. Me and my friend brought this to the beach and we annihilated that bottle so fast. It was so good. I think the next one I'm gonna try is this Avast Dry White. This has grapefruit, lemon, nectarine, and gooseberry. Bright Cellars is offering all of my subscribers 50% off their first six bottle box. So just click the link in my description to get started. Thank you so much Bright Cellars for working with me and thank you guys for supporting my sponsors. It really helps support my channel and allows me to keep continuing to make this free content for you guys. So I really appreciate it. Okay, let me pull up these questions. Let's just start actually, since I mentioned that I was working earlier today, I got a lot of questions asking me how's the new job going? So if you didn't see my last few videos, I talked about how I was interviewing at a salon for a part-time front desk position. She's also looking for me, ideally, if I want to in the future to kind of take over as like the salon manager. I started training last week and it's going really well. I did vlog this whole entire past week. So that video should be coming next and you guys will see, you know, I talk more in there about what I've been doing and all of that. But yeah, it's been going really well. Thank you for asking.  Luckily, I don't really get very much hate online. I would say it's like 98% positivity and only like 2% negative stuff. When I go to check my comments on anything, I always keep in mind that there's the possibility that I'm gonna see something that I'm not gonna like. So I only will check my comments when I'm in the right headspace. If I'm feeling like super sensitive and I know if I see something mean right now, I'm not gonna be able to handle it, then I just won't even look. When someone says something negative about you and they're trying to attack you, that says more about them than it says about you, right? Because think about it. Me, for example, I'm pretty happy. Like obviously we all go through rough times, but even when I am like going through a really hard time, I could never fathom leaving hate on someone else's page and especially like what the best is like people who make separate troll accounts. If you really feel the need to do that, it just says so much about you. Like you are lacking a lot in your life.  So I just remind myself of that. Like when I see a negative comment, I'm like it's more embarrassing for the person leaving the comment than it is for me. The few like hate comments that I do get are all from the same people and I don't even bother blocking them because like you're gonna still show up every time I post something to watch and comment and engage with it. So that's just helping me more than anything. So thank you. Why are you no longer doing hair? I have talked about this a ton in previous vlogs. Funny enough, speaking of haters, I'm not gonna include their username but the person who left this comment frequently trolls my Instagram and loves to make comments about how I don't work and it must be so nice to not work.  So when I moved to North Carolina from Pennsylvania in December, I decided to stop taking clients. I was doing YouTube part-time and then working in the salon part-time. But I was making enough from just YouTube alone that I could just live off of my income from that. So when I moved down here, I figured I'll take a little bit of a break. There's no need for me to rush into finding a salon job right away. So I'm gonna take advantage of that opportunity and take my time to get settled in, get to learn the area. Decide also if I think that I really wanna live here because when you're doing hair, you have to build your clientele. And that takes a lot of time and it takes a lot of work. And if I'm not gonna stay in this area for more than a year, why am I gonna waste my time doing all of that, putting in that effort, if I don't have to, because I can support myself off of YouTube. So I decided to wait a little bit. And also honestly, I was just getting kind of burnt out. Like I love doing hair, but dealing with clients, especially as a naturally introverted person, it's very draining. Even the non-problematic clients. Like I had a lot of regulars that I loved to death. They were so wonderful and never gave me problems, but the way their personalities were, it was like draining to be around them and to talk to them. And I don't mean that in a negative way. If you've ever worked in the service industry, you know what I'm talking about. Like there are just some of those clients that they just take so much out of you. The last eight months, I've just been doing YouTube as my full-time job. And it's great because I get to just work from home. I get to make my own schedule, but make no mistake about it. It is still work. And it's something that I worked very hard to be able to do.  I live a very modest lifestyle. I never brag about my life or what I do for a living. And I've also been doing this for about 10 years. And I've only been able to live off of my income from this for the last few years. So there were several years of me doing this completely for free. So the fact that I can now get rewarded from it and I can work with sponsors and I can make ad money and all of that, like, yeah, I'm gonna do it because I worked hard for this and I deserve it. And is doing YouTube the hardest job in the world? Of course not. It's an absolute luxury job. But I did get kind of tired of just staying home all the time. I was looking for a little more social interaction. So that's why I went and applied for the salon reception job. Still don't really think I wanna take clients at the moment, but I missed the salon atmosphere. Ooh, I got a few questions about breakups. How to move on from a toxic ex. How do you deal with getting over an ex that just won't leave you alone? Some questions about my ex. Have we tried to get back together at all? Okay, so I think if you are leaving a toxic situation and especially if you have an ex that is not respecting your boundaries and won't leave you alone and won't just like accept that it's over, I think you just have to block them. And God, I know it's so much easier said than done. Like that's where I have been at lately. My ex and I like officially broke up in December when I moved down here. He stayed in Pennsylvania. There was still like that hope of, well, maybe we could work things out. So we stayed in contact and the last like few months we were like still not together technically, but we had seen each other a few times and we were still like talking like pretty much every day and you know, like, I mean, we were basically acting like a couple in a long distance relationship pretty much. Things happened and I just realized like, okay, I cannot do this anymore. This is not going to work out. I'm at a point now where even though we had been broken up for so many months already, I was still used to like him being in my life and still having that like contact and like the frequent communication. So now that it's really like officially done and I'm trying to not have any more communication it's really hard because I find myself wanting to reach out and there have been times where I have, I'm not even gonna lie, like I am not proud to admit it, but I did don't beat yourself up cause that's something that I did. I was being really hard on myself and I was like, I know what I need to do. I know I need to just block him and I need to not talk to him anymore and I need to just move on with my life. It's okay. Like if you have moments of weakness and you are having a hard time moving on, like give yourself grace and obviously you do need to create some kind of distance in order for that to happen, but it doesn't need to happen right away. You can slowly wean yourself off and try to just keep yourself as distracted as you can. Like when I start to feel sad and lonely and I get that urge to reach out, I will either call one of my friends instead or my mom or I'll clean or I'll go to the gym. It's tough. It's really tough. I feel for you if you are going through a breakup but we're gonna all get through it and we will be good. And this time next year, we won't be sad anymore. Remember that. To go along with that, how do you know if you should let go of hope in terms of having a future with an ex partner? That's obviously something that I have experienced recently and I don't know. I mean, everyone's situation is so different obviously and no one can tell you whether you should be with someone or not, but I think deep down, you know the answer. Like if you feel like you're constantly getting disappointed by this person and you feel like in order for things to work, one of you has to significantly change who you are as a person. It's one thing to work on the way you communicate or maybe like change certain bad habits but if you have to like completely change who you are as a person, like your personality, then the relationship's just not gonna work. Like you can't change for someone or expect someone to change for you. Then in that case, I think it's probably just a good idea to take a step back or if you feel like, yeah, we have problems but we really care about each other. We really love each other. We really trust each other. We just kind of like need help. Then I highly suggest trying out couples counseling and just see if you can make progress that way but that's the thing is your partner has to be willing to wanna work on things as well. If it's just you wanting to put in all of that work and they're not at least meeting you halfway, then you know what you gotta do. And I know it's hard like once you have a history with someone and you know, you care about someone, you love someone so much but also just remember that you deserve to be loved and you deserve to be treated with respect and you deserve to be in a good, healthy relationship. So don't feel like you're staying in something out of comfort or because you're scared to start over or you're scared of being alone. Just remember your worth. I got a few questions about living on my own. What's your favorite part about living on your own in North Carolina? What has been the best part of moving? What are you finding is most difficult about living alone? Honestly, like the most difficult thing about living alone is just the fact that I have a dog and especially now that I started working out of the house, it would be nice to have someone to help me out with the dog responsibilities. But honestly, other than that, I love living by myself. I love having my own space. I love not having to worry about like cleaning up after someone else's mess or someone complaining about my mess. And it's nice to just like have total privacy and also like the sense of accomplishment. There were times where I was paycheck to paycheck and the thought of like ever living alone and not having someone to split bills with what like it just didn't even seem like it was ever gonna be an option. So it's just really cool. Like I feel really proud of myself. How do you deal with living so far from family? I just try to visit with them as much as possible. Face timing as much as possible, that really helps too. I mean, that's really all you can do, I guess. It's definitely hard to be away from family and friends but I do feel like it makes you appreciate them so much more and it makes the time that you do get to spend with them that much more special. I have a bunch of questions asking about dating. How's my dating life going? It is non-existent. I was going on a few dates the first few months when I moved down here and I just quickly realized I hate online dating. Like the dating apps are just not for me. Then, you know, I was kind of like seeing my ex again. So I just like totally halted all dating. And now I'm just like, I just don't even feel ready. Like I just feel like I still am healing from a lot of things. And I definitely feel lonely at times and there are moments where I'm like, oh, it would be really nice to eventually meet someone and like really meet like the right person. But I'm in no rush to do it. And I really, truly believe like everything in my life, I feel like it always feels very cosmic. Like it always feels like whatever is meant to happen will happen. So I am just putting all of my faith into the universe and I'm just gonna trust that the right person will come into my life when the timing is right. Oh, that kind of like falls perfectly into this next question. Are you spiritual? If so, in what way? Love your content. Thank you. I guess so, yeah, I mean, I'm like very open to the possibility of anything. I don't subscribe to like one particular belief. But I do believe in like synchronicities and like things that are meant to be will be. And I don't necessarily know that I believe that there's like a higher being necessarily or if it's just that like, this is all kind of like computer coded. Two questions, favorite show and favorite hobby right now. Ooh, okay. So first thing that came to mind, is this even a hobby really? I don't know. Um, if you guys used to watch Laguna Beach back in the day from MTV, Kristen and Steven have a podcast now where they go back and they rewatch every episode and they react to the episode and they talk about what stuff was actually real or what things was like curated by MTV and like what stuff was like super edited and all of that. And I just find it so interesting because I was obsessed with that show. I'll watch the episode of the show first and then listen to the podcast episode and that's been like my weekly thing. So I don't know if that counts as a hobby. It's kind of a hobby and a show, right? Otherwise, I just recently watched the most hated man on the internet on Netflix. It's like a mini series documentary. Really, really good. Highly recommend that. I got a bunch of questions just asking how am I doing? How are you feeling? How are you doing after having a rough time recently? I really appreciate that. I am doing okay. Like I kind of said earlier, some days are rougher than others and I definitely still feel like lonely and I'm still healing and I, I don't know. It's just hard to say. Like honestly, right now that I'm doing this, I feel great. I especially, now that I'm almost a full glass of wine in but earlier today, I was holding back tears. Some days are rough. Some days are fine. Some days it like fluctuates throughout the day. So yeah, I don't know, but I will be fine. Time heals everything. All right, last question. How do you deal with the social pressure of not having a partner slash child? I didn't know there was social pressure. Are you saying that I should feel pressured to have a partner or child? Honestly, I don't feel the pressure every so often. You know, when I'm like on social media or whatever, I'll see people in these great relationships and I'll see these people getting engaged and married and whatever. And I'm like, I wish I had that. Actually, I was just looking this morning at a girl that I went to high school with and I haven't really kept in touch with her out of high school. So I really only know what I'm seeing on social media which we all know, obviously it's very curated. So you never know the full story but it seems like she had like the fairy tale like quintessential life experience. Like she went to college, she got these roommates that were randomly assigned to her and then they all became best friends and they lived together all through college and they stayed best friends and all of them ended up getting married all within like the same timeframe and they were all like each other's like bridesmaids and stuff. And now they all do these like couples trips, all the time.  But then I remind myself that we're all on our own separate paths. And as far as kids go, I don't even feel like any kind of pressure to have a child at all whatsoever. I have been sitting here blabbing for so long. Thank you guys so much for all of your questions and thank you so much to Bright Cellars again for sponsoring this video. Don't forget to check the link in the description. I'm gonna go heat up some dinner. That's it for this video. Thank you guys so much for watching and I will see you in my next video. Bye.
