Thanks Snoozie.

I have to ask you guys something. I was sitting with my neighborly friends (that's what i called friends that are also neighbors). Not around the corner but three blocks away. They used to live across the street from me but moved a few blocks away.

We were sitting out one night and my friend said "My daughter and I watched your silly videos. I mean, WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU DO A VIDEO ABOUT A STUPID JUICER, and she started laughing so hard, well I got embarassed. She then went on about my Pedegg and said "that was so silly, I said to myself "who cares about a stupid pedegg and a juicer", and her daughter screamed and said "wow, I actually know someone on youtube".

I tried to laugh along with her but honestly, I wasn't feeling like laughing. I just stared at her and said "why are you laughing, and she laughed even harder. She said "I just don't get it, why would you make an infomercial on these stupid products".

I then said "well, I have other friends who seem to enjoy it when I buy something and show them how it works or even IF IT WORKS".

They were laughing so hard I actually felt like a fool. These people DO NOT GO ON COMPUTERS. The only reason she saw me was I told her what to look for and she went on her daughter's laptop.

But the people who were sitting out on the stoop were not computer people, they don't go to forums, nor do they go to youtube. I got the feeling they thought I was absolutely ridiculous. I began to feel that way.

I didn't like the feeling.

I can get a joke like everybody else but that night I felt like I WAS THE JOKE!!!

Didn't like it one bit. I will never tell them if I do another video. It's not what they are into obviously.

But don't worry, I think this pasta n more thing is going to be a keeper.
