because of the glare so we'll just sit here for a minute see if anybody else is home like we are thank you you're always very sweet but what sometimes I have to watch back to see what I talked about so that I don't talk about again and I'm like always like doing something flexing with something and then I was like you know what that's what the newscasters have on us who go live is you never see him touch her face it's like I need if somebody were here to tie my hands together but then I wouldn't be able to scroll and see who's here hi Brenda and I'll talk I'll talk about that in a minute about the shot Brenda and it says she's moving to the Mediterranean diet and anti-inflammatory to help with fertility well good luck my friend I send you all the Johnson Anita chitchat periwax positive vibes my friend oh I just hope that that just makes everything you want happen I'm just gonna start off by saying that maybe I mistitled my video I meant enough is enough as far as I go as far as my eating as far as my weight and what I have put into motion but I haven't shared with anybody and I thought well since I have nobody here to talk to except for Katie I'd come on here I am a diehard WW weight-watching gal it's just who I am we all have our stuff some people like to try all the programs some people I'm just a WW green gal that it works for me I know it works for me if I do what I'm supposed to do it's all up to me so I stick with it okay but if I forget Brenda remind me okay so I think I'll get started talking about what we're going to talk about first of all I'm gonna ask you guys a few times do you have your water because I was I have during the pandemic I'm not gonna say I'm not gonna lie because I hate that saying whoever came up with it I would just like to take a baseball bat to them and their vocabulary proof be told I totally slapped on my water during the pandemic I slapped on everything during the pandemic except for wine and it's locked on wine during the pandemic not at all in fact somebody should have bought stock in what I consumed but everything's changing now it already has changed I have already put a plan into place and that's what I'm here to tell you about but I do want to remind you to drink your water because I have been drinking mine and it's been helping with everything I chose to put into place has been helping mmm I did have a lot of coffee this morning so if I see my little that's why because look at my new mug that sweet bee sent me what's the name of bees channel I watched I've watched her forever look how pretty that is isn't it beautiful bees weight loss journey let's look if you're not watching be you need to be watching her because she is one of oh ding check first-faced I gotta keep that in order all right we need to find the exact okay bees journey be slash our s journey she was one of my first YouTube friends they don't get any sweeter kinder she's just honest is telling you about her program what she's doing she follows an old I think momentum an old WW plan and just like the rest of us she's going up and down and up and down and go check her out if you don't if you don't know be already oh no Brenda trust me my friend all of this that you see literally it's not from food it's from wine and the occasional alcohol or harder beverage on the weekend so I can't catch my breath cuz I ran in here kitty what are you doing so here's the thing I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel I've had my first in oculation I'm having my second one on 22nd I had no residuals from the first one so that's how I had to say I built it up like it was some big hold on I'm gonna give you the information you just stay seated and I'll tell you there's nothing to tell and I haven't had my second one yet so there's that I have halted the brakes on any and all alcohol and in one I'm gonna be consistent since I see the light at the end of the tunnel I'm totally back on track my mindset is there my heart is there the mirror was there the mirror probably being the biggest you know I walk past myself at night when I go to the bathroom and it's like I start screaming we can't have that going on anymore so I am WW green plan tons of water no alcohol tracking staying within my points I am gonna use my weeklies and let me tell you why I think you should use them in my personal opinion but if you don't that's fine too if you don't need them a lot of times I don't need them but let me tell you why I'm gonna need them ask anybody who likes to drink alcohol when they stop drinking alcohol they crave sugar because that's all alcohol is sugar so I'm gonna use my weeklies for that little craving that I am going to be getting since I am not going to be partaking anymore let's see Brenda says oh I remember momentum it works too if you follow it right and B does that so go check her out say hey I'm Brenda Nina sent me hi how are you she I just delivered to death and she surprised me with this oh I got another surprise yesterday let me show you guys hold on I can't reach it there we go I'm not gonna put it on just because I just tried to do something with my hair so I wouldn't

to start moving again and it's time to stop drinking again it's I had to wait till I was ready like we all do with anything we have to wait until we're ready and I don't think I ever got on here and truly said I think I was honest with you guys in that my my mindset wasn't all the way in it but heck gosh darn if I'm gonna try but I haven't been ready yet but I'm ready now I am and I know what I have to do and I'm gonna do it so that's all I kind of came on to tell you guys I want to see if anybody wants to join me if anybody kind of checked out while we had to check in at the home hotels for

Oliver's not here anymore now he still is in town he's about nine no yeah about nine miles away it's really weird you guys and I talked about it in my last video but he's only really been gone for two weeks so maybe I didn't maybe I just said I was going anybody who came in later do you have your water you guys do you have your water because I can see you oh I do own it Judith how can I not own it you guys can see me it's totally apparent right and a lot of the I think the average C game and I can't use the C word or the P word or any of those words are you two will bury my video is about 20 pounds but see I have to outdo everybody I can't go with the flow I can't just be at one with the Joneses I have to outdo everybody so I went the whole nine yards in game 50 but now we're gonna take it off I've taken off five this week like I said I'm in the game I am over 200 pounds but I'm gonna get under that 200 pounds and then I'm just gonna scream down that graphic in my WW app hi Cheryl overachiever I'm an overachiever darn it you want to come over for a glass of wine I'm gonna have five you know I just can't stand it anymore when I was sitting here on my couch doing that thing seeing nobody you know I just I gave myself I can justify anything if you ever need anything justified give me a ring ding ding I need this justified because I can do it for you and so I would sit here and I'd have my wine and I watch my Turner classic movies Turner movie classics the old shows on the tube and I'd feel my stretch marks stretching and multiple other things going up and down the stairs well need it you know what it's you haven't been able to get out and move because we have to stay in the house I can justify anything well it's time to flip it and I have started and I'm going to continue because I'm gonna go back to feeling good and looking good and being happy with myself I know I keep jumping from this subject to Oliver because hi Rachel because people are bringing stuff up yeah none of my clothes fit Brenda I've had to buy new clothes and you are allowed to laugh at this I was so much in denial about how much weight I gained that I didn't even buy clothes big enough to fit me because I had bought a lot of stuff online because it really wasn't going anywhere oh this should work put it in the cart oh this should work put it in the cart I get it home and I can barely get it over my boobs you know it's like come on I need a let's bit let's be real with ourselves here that's not your size Esther says we're in the process of moving which is taking longer than I would like so I'm not connected here or at our new place oh and trying to pack and clean I'm exhausted okay in my world moving equals hell I think I then that's why I've only moved a number of times in my life because I think moving is the worst thing ever people what was that oops that's ding number two I just touched my nose I was what I was talking to me thinking I wanted to talk to him when there couldn't have been anything further from the truth I'm nice I'm nice to everybody he tells me he's moved 35 times in four years tell you something about a person in less than a military but yeah I'm sorry Esther I hope you have a lot of help my friend when we moved here with the minimal amount of stuff I hired movers I just couldn't do it and I was healthy and everything Janet you need to flip it too but you're see Janet you and I how do you do it we're on the same page all the time and we have our brain we we have to hear the click we can talk to her blue in the face but we have to have that click on our brain saying okay it's time we're gonna do this we're tired of feeling like this we're tired of looking like this we're tired of wondering if our husbands are looking at us with the side I like oh boy is she gonna do anything about that Esther you're gonna have to your address so I can visit you oh that's exciting yeah Janet you know it's just and we mean to and all of us who are in this WW weight loss it's happening like I said while I sat here and felt my stretch mark stretch and was hauling up the stairs and anything else just being too lazy to go in a cook dinner we can think about it and think about it think about it but we just know it's time and I for me it's time now has it been time for some time yes but I have already put it into motion it's not like I'm saying I'm gonna do it I have already started doing it and let me tell you when I got on that scale I know the scale doesn't define you it's how you feel it do your measurements blah blah blah everybody is different right are we not all completely different I like the scale the scale gives me an idea of where I am I don't do measurements because I'm old and they don't move that much I'm sorry that's just my view my arms I'll show you my carousel of progress shirt but I won't show you my arms the scale really does tell me how I'm doing that's another thing Esther I want to swim I need to get back in the water but I am not looking okay let's be honest here again for those of us who have the weight on and have had the weight on before and remember what it's like to get in the bathing suit let's talk about this for a second being in the bathing suit in front of other folks doesn't bother me so much I love the water too much to let it bother me it's getting that damn thing on okay is can anybody here that has been hefty before who wears a bathing suit tell me that they don't have trouble getting that bathing suit on oh my gosh it's like I feel like I'm the queen of England and I should have five what are they called the the ladies ladies and waiting or whatever two in front one on each side and two in the back help pull that dang thing up and over it's so hard to get on is it not I just think it's so hard to get on see that there's no way I can swim in full clothing there is just zero it is even like never I have to be honest I've never worn a girl but I imagine that if I were to have worn a girdle that's what it would feel like see when I go in the water I actually swim you guys know I taught water aerobics in another life so I'm gonna get in there and I actually move and I can't move with tensor I can't wear clothes and just the weight of the material in our swimsuits it's alarming it's completely alarming I'm just glad I kept my old suits and didn't give them away like I gave away all my clothes when I lost my weight see I was this is where I was an overachiever too I was never gonna gain any of it back duh how could anybody even think that I would do that after all my work get crazy that would never happen to me it did I gave all my clothes away I sold some on posh mark I gave some away I donated it to other places and uh okay that's number three ding ding ding it's just pitiful so I have this closet full of clothes from the smallest to the largest Brenda says a fashion expert said once on a morning show that women need to buy a bathing suit two times bigger than their regular size well that's good to know I don't you know I don't know because here's the thing some of us are some of you are busty right I think it's all in the bill to be honest with you um I don't have a big bust but I'm super broad I have huge my whole family is what's what am I trying to say we have broad shoulders we're very broad on the top I'm built like a triangle but then I have a bowling ball at the bottom of the triangle Beth is doing low carb and had a good first week minus three pounds right on was not losing a w w anymore well Beth that's fantastic you know Amy over the red-headed nurse at n is for nurse I believe she's doing low carb I don't know if she's doing keto or low carb but I saw it in her titles low carb so you might want to go check her out and pick her apart and see what's going on maybe she can help you out but stick around here too because yeah stick around here too and congrats on that minus three doesn't it feel is it yeah it's a great feeling it's a good feeling hi Patricia how are you feels good to feel positive you know when uh Esther says if I bought a suit two times bigger the cup size is huge yeah see that's like we're all in different and I have a well I had a small butt but in all this sitting for you gals who have small butts and want a bigger booty just sit around for a year and I can guarantee you growth I can because I had it happen oh my gosh and you know what also you guys age is a thing age is a thing in so many ways if anybody wants to um I forgot what I was gonna say I was looking at my mom's body the last time that I was with her and she she's 84 years old but she has all her weight is in the strangest spots of her body that nobody else in my family has and I was kind of looking at her thinking wow that's weird that that mom is bigger here and there and I'll be gosh darned if that's where it's showing up on me too and that's another reason hi Terry how are you it's good to see you too today is day five for me too wait wait what's the today today is the what's the day today the 15th so it's my fifth day too I started on the 11th oh boy need it only like five days you see Moffley fooling yourself for five days because I am because I'm gonna do it because tomorrow will be day six right it's funny where everything shows up it's not funny ha ha it's funny peculiar and funny okay we're gonna get up for number four here because my nose just itches all the time it's from these trees you guys I have trees everywhere so let me tell you guys about this bird we can't do this Terry we've done it before right we've all done it before together we can do it again time guys can you blame us for some of us being in the places that we are I don't there has been many many folks who managed to not own to lose but maintain during this season of hell I'm sorry but it was it was just like is this ever going to end and I do believe it's ending now except Judith never told us where she lives and I forgot and I apologize for that and I'm just going to do my thing I'm not going to change anything up I'm not going to try to do this to take place of that I'm just going to do plow through what I know that I learned on the wwgreen program does everybody have their water water you guys Ontario that's right so you guys are on the other side of the border what do you hear up there do they are they forecasting anything for you or giving you an idea and I apologize for forgetting so I was sitting here yesterday we're just going to go off topic topic for a second in case any of you guys know birds and let me preface by saying there is no nest I went in and under and looked there's no nest and I hear this can't figure out what it is right what the heck is that is somebody send me more smart uh what's called Morse code through my straight to my brain and I'm supposed to understand what this message is if somebody stranded on an island and I'm the only one getting this message what is that uh so finally I figured it out I followed the sounds and there's these two birds inside steves not inside they came through the hollow side the back of the barbecue and they're sitting on the little ledge and they're with their beaks they're doing this so every time I go out they fly away they don't look like wild birds which is weird they're beautiful beautiful birds and they sit on the ledge out there and they just tapped they walk back and forth all day long there's no nest I checked to make sure they just like it in there for some reason okay I'm sorry you guys I apologize but it is from the trees so last night they split and I thought well maybe they just were here for the day to visit drive me out of my mind and they're back today inside of there and I cannot figure it out June 2nd okay that's in no time Judith that's in just tick tock that's just in a couple of days I mean really if we've gone this long from now until June 2nd is nothing right isn't that exciting I'm so excited to live again that's what it was I just you know and I I know I can't be alone there's number four five six Terry says I have to get moving again too Anita I've had detached right now three weeks ago and had to have oh Terry oh no oh honey I'm so sorry to hear that are you feeling better I hope I hope you're feeling better you have good reason to have to lay down honey hi Natalie oh don't say that I'm getting it cut on the 19th cut because because we're going away the 20th and the 21st and I just thought it's too should I just layer some of the sides and leave it this length let's say you guys it looked good yesterday that slept on it last night and today it looks like slept on your hair hey if any of you guys want to hit the thumbs up for me that would totally rock my little youtube world shows that I've had some interaction and there's a whole bunch of you guys here and I'm so glad listen again I'm gonna repeat it when I come online it's not just about me it's me pulling us all together to talk about what anybody needs to talk about so if anybody needs to talk about anything bring it up let's talk we do except for drink wine you'll be helping me out thank you that color is natural that's all my color that had to have been scary doing better progressively still blurry in the eye but it's getting better each day man that's scary I wish I had known I've been sent I would have been sending you all my need of positive thoughts but I will from here on out I will I will I will so good for Terry for telling us what's going on and Janet and Brenda and all you guys who need to check in and talk about your weight or anything else let's talk how how are you some of you guys doing mentally mentally how are you guys doing I'm doing better I'm doing better it's a little hard not having all over here I keep thinking I hear him I keep thinking I hear him saying Nana especially in the middle of the night I walk into his room to make sure he hasn't been on his playstation for too long he's not in there anymore we went and saw him in his new pad with his dad and his dad's galpal and it's really nice and he's happy and he like was like so after having your grandson live with you for 100 years and then he's away for two weeks you kind of expect him to come running down the hall arms open eyes open mouth open that's not the case he opened the door from his bedroom said hi Nana when you're ready come on in I'll show you around and close the doors like what the heck is up with that it's totally a bittersweet Judith it's so a bittersweet it will improve Brenda because mine has well not because mine has no no no no I take that back I'm hoping that the way mine has worked will work for you to move around a little more I have a little more room I have a lot more room in my schedule that isn't even really a schedule because I don't schedule anything and Stephen I need our time because Oliver came with us so shortly after we got married I know you do Brenda that we it needs to be Nana and grandpa's time but it's like oh my heart is missing something somebody plucked something out of my heart and I guess if I want to see him I have to get in my car and drive over there and say Nana's here you're gonna sit on the couch next to me whether you like it or not buddy does everybody have their water I notice the numbers keep going up and down people are in and out it's a Saturday is she talking about anything exciting no I just here to tell all you guys that I'm back on track I know what I have to do I've been doing it the only thing I have to be careful about and I'll be honest is I got out of the habit of cooking as you guys all know Steve does all the cooking and when I eat breakfast that's number five or six or seven and lunch I eat very simple just because I hate cooking I don't like go fill it Terry go fill your water I'll talk about boring stuff tell you back I don't like chopping things because of the stuff my hand there's a holding a knife any of you guys who've been around here for any amount of time know that I have hand issues that nobody wants to hear health problems so I'm not going to go into it but holding a knife could be very detrimental to my other fingers so I try to do it as least as possible in my lifetime so I keep things really simple I just make sure I get enough I make sure I enjoy the taste like all you know the smart people when they make a wrap they put the turkey they put their cheese they put tomato and lettuce so they get more filled up how's that for grammar they get more food to fill them up now I know I could buy the shredded lettuce but whenever I buy shredded lettuce it goes bad fast because I'm the only one eating it so I don't buy it so I don't use it the tomato I would have to cut up can all of this be handled yeah but I don't feel like doing it so I'm I don't do all that stuff that I recommend everybody else does do as I say not as I do even though I do fine I do fine I have what I want when I want I don't find myself hungry and that's that I need to get my points down to my points are much higher than I have ever had them before it's like I don't I can't even figure out how to use them all up is anybody here still on w w with me it doesn't matter I'm just curious if I'm the only one I'm trying to think of who is still on w w I think everybody's gone to itach bites or low carb or calorie counting still on w w with me Tony says needed your positivity have been struggling to no more excuses wish I lived closer because I need a walking buddy so do I Tony and I echo your sentiments my friend Susan all right right on oh all right Tony okay yay yeah sandy's w w Brenda's on the blue plan but just okay so same thing same thing uh Janet of course I knew that Gina is on blue hi Gina okay so yay hi Rosie how's your Saturday honey Natalie's on w oh yay okay so that's totally fine but you're still doing the plan it's like it's our plan but on another app I think hey Tony so you're gonna have a partner in crime hey Tony that's fabulous and they still you're still employed I hope that's great I'm so happy for you I missed something because I refused to put my glasses on Susan kitty says did you get your second shot yet no um yes but struggling no studio is open that's right so Judith when they do open are you gonna go are you hesitant you're not ready to go out yet even though they say it's okay I'm curious how everybody's feeling my studio has been open for a while but um I'm gonna play the honest card again uh I love my meetings you all know I love my meetings but I haven't gone to have one single meeting well Nita you'll have your meetings why haven't you gotten one because I don't want anybody to see me I don't want to be seen I'm too embarrassed now will anybody out of everybody in the whole world understand my particular bit more than my W but I just I can't do it yet I have been in touch with my leader she texts me she texts me about once a week if not more and she gives me she's so funny she's given me the times for a couple meetings that where I don't know anybody she's like go to these meetings nobody else you hear I'm like oh maybe you're you're not feeling good after your first one how Rosie oh that's a drag I'm sorry to hear that friend so Tony is are you on the chat line super curious about this two to two Tony's good Judith right on Esther says got my second shot a week ago and I think they say takes three weeks for it to be effective so I'm still being careful yeah that's what I heard too but I'm I'm that's what I heard too and yes that's whatever really should do just tired okay maybe you're just tired maybe it's not fun the shot maybe stayed up too late last night I'm just kidding I'm glad you're just tired and you don't have a sore arm or you know so I think I from what I've read I don't know everybody's different again like we don't all wear the same bathing suit the shot for the people who choose to have it for those who choose not to have it okay for you guys too the shot affects everybody different so when people I think that when people say have you had it and how did it affect you I think it's kind of and this is no of no way at all offensive to okay I'm gonna try to figure out a way to tell you guys when I'm put on a medication I never read the side effects I never read the side effects because if it's up here then I'm gonna have the side effects I've never had any issues with any of my medications I feel the same thing when everybody talks about the inoculations and how everybody's feeling then everybody is you know their trepidation is am I gonna feel like that oh they got the second shot and they're just sitting here like this hold on I'm gonna hold on and wait till I'm tired and my arm hurts and my body goes limp and I have to sleep for two weeks okay I'm just gonna wait I'm gonna wait because I know that's what's gonna happen it doesn't happen to everybody and for others it's worse far worse than the regular average Joe so you guys don't think you're automatically gonna get sick or tired I I'm mint I'm minting my words one of the people you get when you call the 800 number yeah Tony Valdes that to me is the average reaction uh one of the Disney YouTubing couples that I watch uh their second one she was fine he was down for the count everybody's different but I I mean hi Susan Susan it's so good to see you thanks for the flower I love me some flowers too late a hello you guys the 800 number what is that for I don't think I've ever called it is that for like canceling or not that anybody should cancel I mean unless you want to Terry is asking do you find sticking to program easier harder for you in the summer I hear a lot say harder but I find it easier that's a great question Terry um that's a great question for me it's not really an issue between okay for starters since where I live we're not seasonal I don't go from being housebound from the snow and being stuck in the house with canned foods to spring like weather it's pretty much spring like here all the time so I don't have such an acute difference from my winters and my summers we're still able to get some pretty decent fruit here when it's not summer it's up to me to buy it and eat it because I can get it I just need to buy and eat it which I have been yeah it is super even here so there's not that much now let's talk the holidays the holidays are not hard for me for the simple fact that we don't have big family get together I don't have aunties and uncles and sisters and everybody who makes all the stuff I'm not gonna say I'm because it might trigger somebody I get triggered I who what triggered me the other day I'm not going to say it but it's a certain candy and somebody said it and by gosh I went to the pharmacy to pick up the prescription and if I didn't grab one of those so the holidays are not difficult for us because we're

people seasons most often great Rosie I know you and me both sister Talita we're talking about whatever you would like to talk about my friend if there's anything in particular type it in and we are all going to discuss it with you we're talking about a little bit of everything where I came in initially to tell everybody that I'm back on track during the pandemic I picked up the great hobby of drinking wine and I was an overachiever and I drank more wine than anybody and gained more weight than anybody but as of my fifth day now I have chosen not to have anymore I'm going to get my weight down but we'll talk about whatever anybody wants to talk about Anna says I seriously appreciate you so much you're always understanding and inclusive thank you Anna what a kind of thing to say thank you I try to be I try to be inclusive I try because I think we should all we should all talk you know and some folks have said like zoom and as outgoing as I am I don't want to zoom and I don't know why let me scroll down see yeah Tony Dale same same here you know in our fruit stands are 20 minutes away for the fruit stands from the actual fields and we can go there year round and our fruit in our markets is always really good too Beth says haven't canceled yet but in another few weeks we'll probably put on hold all right you're doing the low carb right is my memory serving me get my memory remembering well because I try you guys Anna grilled watermelon is awesome Susan says had second dose of fizer no side effects at all I was just so damn grateful to get vaccinated March 11th was my second dose felt like a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders I'm so glad for you because okay takes me a second sometimes you guys but I really do try to remember where everybody is even though I forgot Judith was on the other side Susan was in New York City she still is and I remember when this whole thing started and she was holed up in her apartment working and to give you a room to move around and I remember that I remember the start of it just my heart went out to and it was so bad there okay so there's something positive you guys here's something positive and thank you Susan for putting that out there we're on the other side of this it's just we've got to not be scared anymore and we have to remember where we were when this whole damn thing started where we're where we are now and where we're headed because it's it's a much brighter future for us all Janet that's not bad it's not bad if if I can't have one glass of wine I have to have five bottles it's not bad camp on the weekends and camping and wine drinking go hand in hand absolutely uh let me tell you because again I want to be transparent last night was Friday night now in my head Friday night Friday nights when we go out to dinner Friday nights when we have he has margarita I have long island iced tea last night was tough it was tough because I would have had a drink at the restaurant then I would have came home popped my own bottle drank that whole thing it was really tough there's a difference my friend my love between having some wine and having a need of wine okay so don't even go there the tonies live by each other Beth felt hung over the next day look at you guys go right Brenda I mean just some of us are able to kick back at some of you are able to kick back in your chairs and enjoy it and nurse it and maybe have you know fill your glass half up instead of filling up this whole thing with you know sometimes vodka to here and then maybe the mixer to here I like my alcohol what can I say but I cannot drink it anymore Esther no sad faces you'll see them again I have to itch I'm sorry and I'm still sorry I wasn't able to see you I wish they were closer Amy no I have not so jealous for anybody who has had the second shot I'm not going to get mine for another three and a half months I'm trying you know what Rosie do I know where you live and do we know why or is it too intrusive to ask I'm sorry you guys my hair is bugging me everybody just hang tight man hang tight we've gone this long we've gone 400 in how many days okay so Rosie and Judith I don't I don't know if Judith is still here but you guys uh Judith is in Ontario Rosie I don't know if she's still here or not I haven't seen her post in a while you were totally traumatized Susan I don't forget things like that you're so welcome I try to remember it all oh Amy is in Ontario too look at there's three of you swells in here from Ontario okay there's Judith so you guys talks amongst yourselves he's starting excuse me he's starting a new job in two weeks so no vacation for a while for them and with you guys moving but with you guys moving near a lake I can pretty much guarantee you they're going to find a way to get there sooner than later because I know I am Natalie says we had a loose tiger in my neighborhood on Mother's Day that was scary Natalie you live in Houston that tiger oh my gosh that was crazy did they ever catch the guy they said the guy was a murderer or something and the tiger was still in the loose but they couldn't find him but then they said they did find him and oh my gosh Rosie you guys over there hang tight seriously there you go Beth see that's what works for you and that's the beauty of all this stuff that's what I think everybody has to remember it's like we listen to other people we read other people's stuff we admire them from afar and we think oh look at them look how great they're doing doing this maybe I should try doing that does that work for you or does that work for the person that's doing it we have to do what's good for us and me just keeping it simple drinking my water moving more which I have to be honest I haven't been moving more I have to do that uh but basically keeping it simple and it works for me while others make these great meal plans and they're chopping up all the veggies and they're chopping up all the fruit and they're cooking all the stuff everybody's different so remember that when you're reading sound somebody comes in and posts oh I lost three pounds and then I see people type in how did you do it tell us how did you do it well what works for her or him might not necessarily work for you you guys have to anybody who doesn't know because I know you guys they're all here right now no Susan was like our special case though because she was right in the thick as she says we have relatives in Canada canadiens I like to call it and there are weddings in a funeral yeah caught the guy but not the tiger is the tiger still loose oh my god hi Diana Diana and who's here you guys oh I'm so happy to see you thank you I feel nice to be smiling everything's dropping thank you Rosie because it's yeah where is that cat oh Judith that sounds so I won't give you my thoughts about that because everybody's different let me just say that if something happens to why please don't meet up on zoom that's so sad that's so weird but but who knows I don't know the situation if all of you guys needed to get together talk then then that's wonderful it just it just blows my mind and I'm sorry about your lost you actually said that first I only lost one person in the pandemic and it was an acquaintance it was a gal that I met up through another friend it was her friend it just hit me like a ton of bricks I think that because she was so young Judith I have to imagine that it was kind of weird because like if everybody's grieving how do you get on zoom and I don't know it that would seem kind of strange but it's it's a it's a way to do it though right I mean bye Rosie have a great west you have a great west of your weekend okay a tweedy bud what you guys is there anything anything what time is it here two o'clock I should go to the market get something for Steve for dinner but oh Susan I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I I should go to the market and grab something for dinner for Steve since he's been working so hard he worked late last night and then went in today but if I don't have anything in the house then we'd have to go out and I do really well when I eat out just put that in there anybody who hasn't hit the like button if you feel so inclined and I have to go go out and come back in don't you then don't worry about it I forgot forgot that they're not up at the same time so I guess that's it does anybody else let's see Susan says did you see the WW Instagram post today definition of unnecessary adjectives about other people's opinions about my body from WW yes I did Gwen this week and the beginning of June okay Terry take care thanks for popping in so good to see you I'm gonna be headed out pretty soon too because I got a couple stuff I gotta throw some flour in my face like the rice Krispies commercial look like I've been doing something around here pull the vacuum out and sit it in the middle of the living room you know that kind of stuff kitty's on green I love green you can't go wrong on green I can't go wrong on green I should say I don't the blue plan I don't eat I like it but I don't eat yogurt unless I'm on the blue plan so that I'm just eating something because I can you know what I'm saying so there's 32 of you guys in here if there's anything that anybody needs to talk about before I shut this down please feel free to say something and we could talk about it that's what we're all here for each other not just me it's not all about me you know what Esther Steve cannot stand when I clean with bleach and it drives me nuts especially during this time so he went to Target or some such place and found all these cleaners and they're good cleaners that don't have bleach in them well you know when I'm scrubbing my sink and stuff oh and he has bleach but that old boy won't let me but that's still a great idea I don't think mr clean has any bleach in it I could do that and there's a bucket in the house too that he brought up this is the weirdest thing to us sorry I keep saying I'm gonna go but I'll do it all day if I want it's my channel um boiling onion that would be an awesome idea if we ate onions that would be a really good idea right after Oliver left Steve went in bathroom till there was not one trim left and I'm not talking you know time went he was in there he was in his bedroom shifting I mean it was like I was like I felt like we should have been let it stay for a few days he might want to come back leave his stuff alone he was like on it you're a comic girl Brenda I love comment too I do like comment but I like gels and I like liquids and actually that's what I should go do is do my bathroom you know and I can't see half of the stuff you guys are writing because I don't have my glasses on the twins are back if you listened to their last and Anita we got your note because I sent them some snail mail um because I was so worried about them I mean I had stuff going through my head that should not have been going through my head and um we've corresponded through you know not through our regular mail not email and instagram and all that stuff so I sent them a letter and I said look I don't know what's going on I don't need to know what's going on just need to tell you that the whole ww community is worried about you guys if you could just send a blip on the radar or something letting us all know and then they did the video and I was so happy because they were the first people I watched and they when I'm at the park when I walk maybe that's what I'll do I listen to their old stuff I started at the beginning and I work my state back to where they are now because uh it's very nostalgic for me that's they gave me thank you for the thumbs up you guys I appreciate it I just thought jump thank you so much uh for me because I was in my honeymoon phase when I found them when I started ww it was like yeah wonder woman I'm weight-losser woman Anita this is this is what I do and it was what I did for the original 35 who remember and the twins were the only ones I watched I may have very shortly after found Sandy and Amy but for a long time it was just the twins and it was like just them and me and so now that I'm back in that honeymoon phase I'm gonna do that again I'm gonna go back and start at the beginning let me see what I've missed bye Tony have a great weekend thank you so much the 80s oh no Comet does have a gel huh Cheryl's on a ww plan but you know what the twins also going back to the twins they look great I was worried for a number of things I was worried God forbid that one of them got

it I need to get to learn to use my new camera even though it's not that different than my old camera um I need I need to make a plan I don't truth be told I'm trying to think of different things to do because everything on all the WW channels has been done to death and some and I know most people have no problem with that but I don't want to do it that's just me I don't want you know it's like I don't know I'm trying that's why I haven't made regular videos that's why I've just come online because I can't think of anything out of the box so we'll figure something out but Oliver's not here to

beginning separate part for about her and Spencer and why they did things the way they did them if you read the book you're probably far ahead of me but it's on there next time I see you I will let you know the name adios Natalie thanks you guys I'm gonna hit them I'm gonna hit the square or the cross or the x now I'll see you guys soon have a great rest of your weekend I'm hitting it bye


That is a very important point because many people believe that al-Fatiha was revealed first but that is not the case. The first revelation of the Quran was surah al-alak and therefore the Quran was compiled and put into the order that is familiar to us after the life of the prophet may peace be upon him which makes this even more mind blowing because it led to this mathematical miracle.


So if you guys open back to another one, if you're new to this channel, I am Gold Pony, I do new car track, SCV reviews on YouTube. And today, we are in the brand new 2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, courtesy of younger Mitsubishi in Hagerstown, Maryland. For more information on their inventory, please feel free to check out the link in the description box below. So we are in this one today because there actually are some nice changes for the 2024 model here. Not only that, you do get America's best warranty as well, being five-year, 60,000 mile bumper to bumper, 10 years, 100,000 miles on the powertrain, and if you were to go with younger Mitsubishi here in Hagerstown, you will also get a 20-year, 200,000 mile warranty. I always want to give them that pitch because that is amazing. But also, there is a new complimentary maintenance program for the 2024 Mitsubishi's, being two years, 30,000 miles of free maintenance. So that is pretty cool as well, of course. But ultimately in this video, we will be testing out and going over everything about this one from acceleration to braking, steering feel, ride quality, sound system, exhaust lip, all that fun stuff. So having said all of that, what do you guys say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it. And as always, let's start with pricing. And so as you can imagine, there are several different trim levels for the 2024 Eclipse Cross. First one being the ES, starting at $26,345, which is up a modest $550 from the 2023 model year. Then you got the LE for $27,995, SE for $29,045. And lastly, the SEL, being the one we're in today, starting at $30,445. But regardless of trim level that you go with, the power plant actually is going to be the same. Powering the beast is a 1.5 liter turbocharged inline four cylinder, putting out 152 horsepower at 5,500 RPM, 184 pound feet of torque coming in at 2,000 RPM. That power being sent to all four wheels only. Yes, there is no front wheel drive configuration in the Eclipse Cross. It is Mitsubishi's rally inspired four wheel drive system that they call all wheel control. Originally developed for rally racing on the dirt in the snow. So that is pretty cool. But power sent to the ground through a CVT with paddle shifters if you go with the SEL. The SEL is the only trim that is going to give you those paddle shifters, but you guys know we will test those out in a little bit here. But zero to 60 time coming in at approximately 8.6 seconds with MPG numbers coming in at 25 in the city, 28 on the highway for the ES trim level, but then 25 city, 26 on the highway for all other trim levels, taking regular unleaded fuel. But so now before we do any kind of fun acceleration or paddle shifter test here in the Eclipse Cross, I did want to mention to you guys, there is an eco mode drive mode located just in front of the shifter that is going to just shift points of throttle response essentially giving you a little better MPG. So always like to mention the drive modes before I do any kind of fun accelerations in these cars. So now having got that out of the way, what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and find a straightaway. Let's put the acceleration and paddle shifters here to the test. Let's see how quickly the paddle shifters are going to react. Let's see how quickly we can get this one here up to speed. And so before we do this acceleration test and paddle shifter test, I did want to mention to you guys, there is a full manual shift mode to put it in that full manual shift mode. You just slide the shifter all the way to the back to the left. That's going to display what simulated gear you were in up on the digital portion of the gauges. And keep in mind, it is simulated shifting since we are in a CVT. So we're not actually going to be shifting through gears here. But having said that, let's get started in three, two, one, go. Nah, it still feels like a CVT, but it is pretty darn quick. It's actually a lot quicker than I expected. So no issues emerging onto the highway. But having said that, the paddle shifters do kind of feel like high quality. So I do like that. I like the feel of them, but it just, it doesn't feel like I'm actually shifting through anything because we're in a continuously variable transmission. So there's not actually any gear. So having said that, you can still use the paddle shifters to do a little bit of engine braking if it's snowing out. So rather than hitting the brakes and wrist sliding off the road, you can just do some downshifting, let the engine do a little bit of the braking. So they're good for that reason, but they don't really feel like traditional paddle shifters. I'll just put it that way. But anyways, to go along with that acceleration as always, braking is equally important.  As far as that 60-zero stopping distance goes, it's going to come in at a respectable 125 feet. That's pretty much par for the course when it comes to SUVs this size. But let's go ahead and test out the braking feel here. I'm just going to tap the brakes. It's fine. Yeah, no issues there. Not a super firm braking feel, but definitely not a soft braking feel either. Kind of feels just like you would expect the Eclipse Cross to feel like. So for me personally, I don't have any issues whatsoever when it comes to the braking. The touching on suspension and handling upfront, you're going to get a McPherson Stratfront suspension. In the back, independent multi-link rear suspension, of course, front and rear stabilizer bars. As far as ride quality goes on these super smooth Hagerstown roads, it's been perfectly fine. My short little test drive here today. Honestly, I haven't had any issues. But like I said, that could be due in part because these roads did just recently get paved. Feel like six months ago or something. So yeah, it's perfectly fine there. As far as steering feel goes, let me just go ahead and... Yeah, it's a little bit on the looser side of things. That's to be expected in really any SUV. So I don't mind it. It's pretty much again, average for the segment. Wouldn't it have minded though, if they made a steering feel firmer maybe like Volvo does, where you can kind of give that steering feel a little bit heavier of a weight to better point you in the direction that you wanna go and make it feel a little more like a sports sedan because the Eclipse name is traditionally a very sporty name and they put it on an SUV now. So I would expect a little bit more sportiness to be carried on with the Eclipse Cross. So a heavier steering feel might do just the trick there when it comes to that sportiness. I would appreciate that at least. But anyways, touching on cabin noise is the perfect testing point. 50 miles per hour right now. So honestly, I haven't had any issues. So that's perfectly fine. Taking a look at visibility, taking a look out of my rear view mirror, I can see perfectly fine out of the back. And I like how they got away with that rear bar that used to kind of separate the upper and lower rear glass. That was back in the day on the Eclipse Cross. But now that has gone away so you can see a heck of a lot better out the back. So I like that. Did want to also mention though, there is a head up display actually available for the SEL trim level only. I think it's an SEL touring package. It goes for around $1,800.  But one of the things is you had to display projecting your speed, speed limit and safety features up onto your windshield so you can better focus your attention on what is in front of you, assisting with full revisibility. So that's gonna be there for you too. But anyways, that pretty much rounds out the performance segment of this review, guys. Let's now go ahead and take a look at the exterior of a brand new 2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. All right, so here she is you guys, the new 2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross finished in Mercury Gray Metallic. In case you were curious of our exterior color name, but as always, let's go ahead and start with where this one is made. Take a look at the bin. First character is the letter J, indicating that the Eclipse Cross is built and assembled in Japan. Gotta love it, J-D-M-S-U-V. Let's go ahead and start up front though. LED headlights do come standard on every single trim level across the board. Gotta love that for added illumination at night. You do get LED daytime running lights with that. Of course, there's also LED fog lights that come standard for all trim levels. Those headlights, by the way, are automatic for the S-E trim leveling up, and you will get automatic high beams then for the L-E trim leveling up. So if you have your high beams on at night and it senses a vehicle coming in the opposite direction, it's gonna automatically dim them back to low beams. And when the vehicle is gone, it's gonna automatically bounce it back up to high beams for you though. So love that feature. You do have some chrome accending surrounding the headlights, just like the Outlander. I think that definitely looks good. And there's gonna be some chrome Eclipse Cross lettering found on the hood for specific trim levels. Although not ours today. Do you have a little bit of aluminum accents found in the lower portion of that front bumper as well. And I gotta love that intercooler hiding behind the bottom portion of that front bumper too. That looks pretty darn good. But anyways, that pretty much runs out the front end of the Eclipse Cross. Let's now go ahead and make our way to the side. All right, so now let's go around to the side of this one. Roof rails are going to be optional for the S-E and S-E L trims. However, they don't come standard, but we do have them today. So they look pretty darn good up there. Chrome windows surrounds will come standard for all trim levels across the board. Do you also get rear privacy glass for all trim levels as well? Gotta love that. Body color, power adjustable side mirrors do come standard. They will be heated with LED integrated turd signals. All of that coming standard, gotta love that. And there will actually be power folding as well for the S-E and S-E L trim levels. So when you lock it up, they're gonna fold in. When you unlock it, the side mirrors are gonna fold out. So pretty cool feature there. Take a look down at the wheel, set up 16 inch aluminum alloys for the ES. 18 inch black painted aluminum alloys for the LE. And then 18 inch two toned alloys for the S-E and the S-E L. So that's what you guys of course are currently looking at. And I love the body colored side skirts on this thing as well. Not every SUV out there does that. Most of them actually will give you matte black side skirts along with the fender surrounds there, which we do have. But the body colored side skirts definitely make this one look a little bit better. So big fan of that. But now let's go ahead and check out the back of this one. All right, so now since we are around to the back of this one, body colored shark fin antenna all the way to the top.  So you get this more aggressive rear spoiler for the S-E and S-E L trim levels. However, with the ES and the LE, it's gonna be a much more tamed rear spoiler. So nowhere near as aggressive as what you guys are currently looking at. So I love this look. I reviewed the other look last year, but both of them look good, but this one definitely looks more aggressive. So big fan rear window wiper, of course, those come standard as well. LED tail lights. You do get those for every single trim level across the board. So added illumination at night there. I do like the Eclipse cross lettering spelled out horizontally, just below the Mitsubishi logo there. That also looks good. And if you were to go up underneath of this thing, as I'm trying to get here for you guys, there actually is a single exhaust outlet tucked away. So having said that, I do believe you guys know what we have to do next as always here is that exhaust clip. All right, so now since we are around to the back of the Eclipse cross, when it comes to opening that rear tailgate, it is going to be a manual tailgate for the ES and the LE trims, but then a hands-free power tailgate for the S-E and S-E-L. And by the way, that is new for the 2024 model year before you couldn't get that hands-free power tailgate. So now coming standard for the S-E and S-E-L, but once opened up, cargo capacity comes in at 23.4 cubic feet behind that second row. Of course, if that is not enough space for you, those rear seats do fold down. There is a 60-40 split, bumping that up to 50.1 cubic feet then. There is a cargo cover that comes standard back there. You got cargo lighting. There are tie-down anchors. There's a grocery bag hook as well. And then if you were to lift up underneath of that cargo floor, you will find a spare tire underneath of the cargo floor then as well. But anyways, then make your way up to the rear leg room that comes in at 37.1 inches for reference. I mean, even six feet tall, this is how much space I had back there. You do have some seat mat pockets that come standard. There's a rear center armrest with cup holders. There's a USB-A and USB-C charging ports back there. So you got two of those. There are heated rear seats available on the S-E-L. We have that option, so I had to mention it. So spoil the rear passengers a little bit. We got heated rear seats. That's pretty cool. The only constructive criticism, honestly, that I can think of for the rear passengers is there's no rear ventilation that I see. So no rear air vents, unfortunately. But then make your way up to the front seats, cloth seating coming with the ES and LE trim levels. Leather suede combination for the S-E-L. I love that setup. Leather seating coming with the S-E-L. That's what we have today. Heated front seats for the LE trim level and up. Eight-way power driver seat for the S-E trim level and up. And then eight-way power adjustable passenger seat then for the S-E-L. But overall, seat comfort has been perfectly fine. I certainly didn't have any issues there. So no issues in my short little test drive. I will say that. But so then taking a look at the steering wheel, it is tilt and telescoping. I didn't telescope out quite as far as a lot of the competition, but it got the job done for me at least. It is going to be leather-wrapped for the S-E-Trim level and up and then also heated for the S-E-L trim that we have today. So that was pretty cool to find.  But then make your way to the startup. Let me start by showing you guys the key here. You got your Mitsubishi logo on the one side. When you flip it over, lock, unlock, and the button to pop the rear tailgate. But it is all keyless entry with a push button start for the LE trim level and up. And that is new for 2024. Previously, I believe it was the S-E-Trim level and I've got your keyless entry with a push button start. But now the LE gets it too. So I'm just going to put my foot on the brake here and press that engine start button located just to the right of the gauges. And so once started up, tachometers all the way to your left, speedometers to your right. There's a small digital display front and center then giving you things like outside temperature, trip A, trip B, of course, what gear you were in. And overall it's a pretty basic setup, but it should definitely get the job done. But now let's go ahead and take a look at overall interior quality. There is a power moonroof available for the S-E and S-E-L trim. So we do have that today. I like it, but home light controls are going to be optional for the S-E-L as well. And we have those as well. And that's going to be located on the rear view mirror for up to three different garage doors. Dual zoom climate control for the S-E and S-E-L but all other trims are going to get automatic climate control. So you can still set the temperature and it's going to hit that temperature. But with the S-E and S-E-L, both driver and passenger can set their own individual temperatures there. Another thing I always like to mention with the Eclipse Cross is if you open the glove box, it's kind of got these two sections. So they put the owner's manual on top. You could of course take that out and put something up there. But I like the two tier kind of glove box that the Eclipse Cross gives you. So big fan of that. There's a little bit of rubberized storage just in front of the shifter there. You also have the super all wheel control button where you can lock it in that four wheel drive system. I forgot to mention that earlier. So that's pretty cool. Just behind the shifter you have dual cup holders and within the center armrest. It's actually decent amount of space in there. I almost feel like it's more than the Outlander, believe it or not. So decent amount of storage in this thing. So I like that. Also like the kind of carbon fiber look found at the doors here too. It is plastic, but it does look like carbon fiber. So it's a good look to it. But now let's go ahead and take a look at the infotainment screen. You're going to find a seven inch color touch screen display coming with the ES. But then an eight inch color touch screen display coming with the LE trim leveling up. Either way, you still get Bluetooth and audio streaming. You still get Android Auto, Apple CarPlay. But factory navigation system is going to come on the SE and SE L trim. So I love that. And of course you can check out your radio information up there as well. And so when it comes to the sound systems, you're going to find four speakers for the ES and LE and then a six speaker sound system for the SE and SE L trim level. So having said that, what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and turn on the radio. See what we got playing today and let's test out the clarity of this one. Actually, probably one of the better six speaker sound systems that I typically test out. There was a ton of bass with that six speaker sound system, definitely more so than I expected. Clarity was okay. Clarity was, you know, it sounds like a six speaker sound system, but the bass was definitely above average when it comes to just six speakers in a vehicle. So it's not that bad, believe it or not. Anyways, last thing I want to mention to you guys on the infotainment screen at least is when you do put the Eclipse Cross in reverse, you will find a review camera coming standard, not the highest quality, but the SE L does also give you that bird's eye view or the 360 degree monitor there to the right, letting you know what is completely all around you, which is always, is going to lead us into safety. And so to start, the Eclipse Cross is not an IIHS top safety pick. I always like to mention that first. Front side, side current airbags do come standard. There's a driver's knee airbag up front as well.  Lane departure warning and automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection. SE trim leveling up is going to add to that a blind spot monitoring system with rear cross traffic alert. And lastly, the SE L that we have today is going to also give you adaptive cruise control. So overall, when it comes to my final thoughts of the Eclipse Cross, it is a great looking SUV, 100%. I will not deny that. So big fan of the styling. You also get America's best warranty, which is a ton of peace of mind as well. And again, if you go to Younger Mitsubishi here in Hagerstown, even if you live in California, you could still cash in that warranty at a dealership in California. Even if you buy it here in Hagerstown, I'm just saying. So I always like to pitch that, but as far as room for improvement goes, rear ventilation would be a necessity for me in this thing, just because you got kids in the back, you want them to be comfortable. Digital gauges would also look pretty darn good in this thing as well, just kind of like the Outlander does right now. Multicolor ambient lighting would be nice. It's not an IIHS top safety pick either. And I wouldn't mind seeing a steering feel firm driving mode to kind of bring back a little bit of the sportiness of the Eclipse name. But anyways, let me know what you guys think of this one in the comments section below. That is about it for this one, you guys. Thank you so much for watching.

Alex.mp4 is a mysterious video from a known origin. The video is described as an entity resembling Alex the Lion from Madagascar, staring at the screen for a long time. Not forever, just a long time. The audio seemed to be eerie and unsettling music playing in the background, along with faint and quiet sobbing that seemed to be from Alex the Lion. The video itself was found in April 12, 2007, by two teenagers. Two years after Madagascar's release date, and seven months before the B-movie. Of these two individuals, one has been sent to a mental hospital, and one died of a stroke. Paranormal investigators has been sent to investigate this lost video of the character from Madagascar, hell, even Dreamworks is aware of this. The whereabouts of this tape isn't known for now. Some people theorize that this came from two former employees of Dreamworks. Some even theorize that this video is meant to be a start of an ARG, but then got wrong. But that is a story for a day. It is uploaded to YouTube, seven years after the incident. Wow, what a great story to put out. Hi, I'm Gia the Trapeze fly in Jaguar, and things hasn't been going well lately. You see, I wasn't a very popular and recognizable character nowadays, and my new nemesis is Chloraline, the lethal leopard from Kirby and the forgotten world. She looks like a complete knockoff of my character, even though I was like 10 years ago since the release of Madagascar 3, Europe's most wanted, before Chloraline was around on the internet. Oh, don't get me started on Gyan Foxington from the new Dreamworks movie The Bad Guys, because her character is overly crazed on the internet. Like, what the hell? Well, that's how I feel if the internet didn't recognize me anymore in 2023, as I'm very ill to talk about my problems. This is Gia the Trapeze fly in Jaguar, a character from the 2012 Madagascar sequel that needs more recognition and fan service that brings you this announcement. See you later darlings.


which we use to measure people behavior. We have around 100 customers, including Nestle, Etage, Citibank, and all. So yeah, the presentation is up. So you can connect with me here. I think we should just keep doing it. So I'm a Node.js newbie. I started working on Node.js last year. I have some experience with Express.js socket.io and yeah, basics of rest in Node.js. I understand that. But so we haven't done anything where a Node.js application is connected to a database directly. So in our current stack looks like this. So we have a common API which is accessed by a few front-end servers. One of them is in Rails and other two are the Node.js servers. So the current Rails platform that we have, it accesses API through a gem called her. So yeah, that's the name of the gem, her. So what her allows us to do on the ROR front-end is it allows us to access the API using the models. Like, let's say you have a user model on your API. You can access users on front-end using the similar model, like user itself. So you can do user.wear name is this. User.wear name email is this. And that her does the magic and gives me all the objects that I need. So, but in Node.js, how do we do it now? Is to, whenever I need to access anything in the Node.js front-end, I just make an HTTP request. I just write a function which gives me that object and using the HTTP, basically. But could there be a better way of doing this? Like that similar approach that we have in Rails. Could we have it in Node.js also? So how about this? A user.wear name equal to Prashant and it should give me that object or an array of that object. So it basically makes a HTTP get request to the API endpoint and yeah, you get those objects on your Node route. And also probably this you should be able to do, like create a new object and just save it. It should fire a post request and that object is created. So yeah, introducing NodeVeager. So it's a plugin that I have started working on, which is inspired by her. You have the repository URL there. It's a novice attempt and as I said, I am a newbie. I have not enough, I don't have enough experience with Node.js, but my learning so far has been with the coding. I code to learn. So yeah, so this repository is online. You can check it out. And the major challenges I might face while building this is managing the authorizations, authentications, then active relation like scopes, then dealing with the associations, like let's say in your API you have associations of users with comments or users with nodes. How do we do it on the Node.js resources also? And the support for middlewares basically. So any application which is the host application should be able to add middlewares to it so that they could add a custom functionality to the same plugin. So thank you guys.
