For anyone who is mourning JCS's departure from YouTube, this guy has recently started putting out long, very thoughtful case coverage with fantastic interrogation breakdowns. His newer videos are really good stuff, and on cases i haven't seen covered...hope he keeps it up.
https://youtu.be/u432T_cDgQs
JCS deleted the farewell video as well?! Wonder what happened? I'm so bummed, he was my favorite. Thought it was a clickbait video and didn't really watch it :(. Just subscribed to the channel you posted. Thank you!
Side note, do you ever watch these interrogation videos and think "I could be a primary suspect if this was me!" I don't remember all I did in a day based on the exact time like I'm walking around staring at my watch and then overthink everything and your story would slightly change. What happens to people who are innocent and being asked what they did on a certain day and don't recall it. If you asked me what I ate in a day a week ago I couldn't recall LOLL.
Another random thought, so in the video link you sent this is the second video I've ever seen where they allowed a family member in there during the Torey interrogation! Is this legal? I thought it was because he is underage but the Chris Watts case where his father comes in and this one is all I've seen that in.

^Yes, I've totally thought that before. Like, i can't even remember what i was doing five minutes ago!
That guy's channel is kind of interesting, because it looks like he only recently started putting out psychological breakdowns of interrogations, but he is Blowing Up. His recent videos have 10 million views. They're really long, unlike JCS, which i love. And he's not a lazy JCS copycat... there are so many imitators out there who basically just play uncut interrogations with very little analysis...

i was told to be careful by my friend that makes bikinis. People in the Midwest are conservative and get offended by seeing too much butt??? Stupid it’s literally a bikini contest! We definitely can’t wear a thong, but I agree they look good!!!!!
With all respect, while I can understand it can appear that way for people outside the sport, it has a lot more to it than just being a bikini contest!

I've shockingly developed this absolute dislike for cooked chicken, shrimp, beef, and eggs recently. I dunno what happened. I can't live on only sashimi (I really would if I could lol) so I'm forcing chicken/shrimp down with complete distaste for it just for proteins sake. May switch back to when I'd make turkey patties just for the protein? I remember being much more muscular with turkey patties on top of my protein powder after working out instead of just sticking to protein powder.

The place where we rent band practice space is part of this venue, so they did a thing tonight where the bands who rent space there did sets, rather than booked bands from wherever. So it was this ad hoc mixture of various types of bands, and I’m drunk and we just went completely wild on stage. Especially with the contrast with the band s that played before us. Glad I had my sister there to drive me. But she probably doesn’t know what to think right now. I demolished a big bowl of Mac and cheese too.

I used to cook salmon but I gotta figure out how to use the oven again lol (I always set the smoke detector off even when I rented so I think the oven is a me problem?)...I'd even open the doors for air in advance.
My random thoughts: I met the cutest Doberman Pinscher's yesterday a customer had! I try my best to not give all my attention to the dogs LOL. He said "the female is only good with people who aren't scared of dogs." Look no further hahaha!!!

^ @kimbe, so your mom did fitness competitions, that’s cool! I hope she’s still fit&sound. :)
Yes, she did, and she's in very good health!
She did countless bikini contests in Florida from 1988 throughout the entire 90's, gradually converting to Fitness during these years and later into Figure. Met my father during these years and eventually settled in Vegas. She competed well into her fifties at a high level.

A friend of mine has been complaining for weeks that the new Amazon shopping app on her phone glitches out on reviews with pictures now so she can't look at them. She started in with moping about it today, saying how frustrated she is that she can't look at those reviews anymore. I asked, "Does it work on the actual website on your computer?" and she was like, "Oh... I literally never tried that."
I just thought it was hilarious. Yes, real computers and webpages still exist. Not everything HAS to go through the app on your phone lol

I'm going to get serious about starting my running training and eating healthier again tomorrow. I hope my husband is serious about also getting back to the gym during his 5-week break from school. He's let himself go pretty significantly over the last couple of years, he looks like a completely different person than when I look back on pictures from when we first met. The extra weight makes him look like he aged 10 years. I try not to be bitchy about it, but if he doesn't pull himself back from his bad habits soon, he's gonna reach a tipping point. A lot of his clothes already don't fit.

I had a realization last night and today. The subconscious is one hell of a thing, and now I think there are things I hadn’t picked up on which I subconsciously did and replied to also subconsciously. I hate being so vague, but the whole thing’s so weird and I even felt embarrassed about it before, but now I’m not really sure if there is/was a reason to be embarrassed, but there’s still skepticism on my end about it.
At the end of it, I’m happier than I was before. Maybe that’s all which really matters.

I hate when I see movies HYPED up on social media by my friends and family, and then I'm kind of underwhelmed by them. It happened with Frozen 2, which I felt really let down by, and now recently with Encanto. It wasn't bad, but with the way everyone has been raving about how many times they've watched it and how fire the soundtrack was, I guess I was expecting to love it more.

I love quiet, cold winter nights with no wind.
On nights like tonight, I miss the setup I had in one of my old apartments where my couch was off to the side but right next to the balcony door. Late at night, I would have all the lights off, only light being from the TV across the room and the balcony blinds that were open because no one would have been able to see me anyway, and I could just reach behind me and crack open the balcony for some fresh air and close it again when it got cold, as I pleased. That's one of those weird, nostalgic memories that I wish I could re-live/recreate but can't.

The kid is locked in that awkward of state of trying to pretend to notice something he certainly did notice. Nothing bad, just unusual to him I suppose. He was also there when some random middle-aged dude suddenly ran up to my car as I was loading groceries, and the kid actually looked like he was ready to fight and seemed to go into protection mode. But the guy stopped at a respectable distance, gave me his name and a ham call, and wanted to ask about the antennas on my car.

I have my first random follower on instagram hahahahaha! I only use instagram to follow like 16 celebrities and all I have posted is a face photo for my picture and a silly quote as a post. Maybe I should post more photos and see what happens for the fun of it. LOLLL. Too funny. I'm not really into that social media life. Seems really narcissistic or I'd have a ton of dog photos on it lolllll.

I don't dig Instagram, I think it's boring. I also accidentally found out about my favorite musician's foot fetish via IG so I feel like it's one of those social media tools that can backfire.
Random- I got bad news I was expecting but I am taking it in stride. W000000 adulthood.

So when my daughter caught covid I am pretty sure I had it also. I didn't get tested like her cause I knew I had to get tested before my surgery so I just isolated myself along with her. My surgery was suppose to be this Wednesday but since I still have the awful covid cough my surgery has been cancelled. I hope I can get a new surgery date sooner than later and also I hope I can remain well long enough so I can actually get the surgery this time.

Why do people always say that a protein-rich breakfast fills you up longer, thus making you eat less throughout the day? It's always been the total opposite for me. I will be absolutely starving just a couple hours after eating a meal with a lot of protein, moreso than if I had just shoved something carb-y in my face or skipped the meal entirely.

My driver last night left (kinda could tell he knew what I was up to) did a full u-turn at the light when I was unable to enter the gated community (told him it was all ok) and said "are you okay? There's a lot of sketchy guys out here." Girllll I was thinking the same thing and was concerned because of past problems with strangers approaching me while waiting. Appreciated the concern but was embarrassed at the same time.
Also I'm laughing inside at AuroraSunsets post right about now of her throwing away her husbands red hobo shirt out hahahaha. I have a red sorority shirt from '07 that has white paint splatter from painting my house and the armpit is completely ripped I'm wearing.....also my red flowery dress is armpit ripped. I'm not committed to laying these pieces of clothes to rest in the trash just yet hahaha!!! I wear them regularly :P.

We have new neighbors to fill the void left by the trucking company, and I’m already not liking it. Fortunately, this building was set up so it could be partitioned, and those partitions are going into place. Already heard one of their techs asking, “How can I score brownie points with the black haired chick?”. Though the one who spoke directly to me was respectful… I was working with the other woman on something, and one of their guys came in and asked, “Which of you is (my name)?”. And he was told they could borrow one of our forklifts, but to touch base with me about it to make sure I didn’t need it anymore. He introduced himself, he was polite, didn’t come off as trying to do anything other than make a friendly introduction (and get our forklift). So at least one of them doesn’t seem to be a shithead. One of them already made me wary. Guess we’ll see how the others turn out.

They have a supply chain shortage in certain states. It really sucks. I had to buy a tabletop distilled water system to make my own distilled water since they are completely sold out of gallons of it in stores. You should try one of the hispanic grocery stores in your area. They are always stocked with meat.

We have a store that has a sell on chicken breasts every Tuesday for $2.99 a pound...but you have to get there by about noon or one in the afternoon because a few restaurants come in and buy it all up.

Oh that reminds me, a lot of farmers have been impacted by shortages as well leading to less product to send to market.
FWIW where I shop there are shortages of all staple food items. It seriously makes me think of the depressing shit ex- Soviet Union dwellers have told me (about bread lines and black market items.) The Pandemic has been a kick in the ass in so many ways.

The grocery store shortage makes me not even want to place an Instacart order for a while, and just get off my ass and take the bus to Wegmans (Good 'ole dependable Wegmans...that store is the best). If the Instacart shopper and I have to spend all this time talking about how the store is out of this and that, and looking at photos of how empty the shelves are, I'd rather not spend that money on IC fees and tipping...and just take myself over to Wegmans. With my last IC order Giant was completely out of bananas, clementines or mandarins, Russett potatoes, etc. And then half the stuff on my list had to be refunded. Ironically, they DID have IBC root beer, which was shocking because IBC root beer has become extremely difficult to find in stores lately. The only thing is that Wegmans is one of the Instacart stores that DOES NOT accept EBT/food stamps on Instacart, which is a bummer. So I have to go there in person to use EBT.
I bet Instacart shoppers get some rude customers getting nasty with them, even though it's not the shopper's fault that a store is out of stuff.

Omg, wrapped the rental project finally !
I'd say it took 7 days. About 4 of communications with potentials before driving North, 3 days of repairs , then showings.
Someone took it with first , last, and full deposit !
After keys this project is a wrap !
*Technically* I did a FULL turn in 4 days including wall repairs, other small repairs, carpet cleaning, and cleaners to deep clean. This was my own rental but I'll be advertising the service to others soon.
I took a lot of before and afters to use for my property management portfolio along with a log of how I moved the project. It's often easier to get a client who wants you to manage ( at first ) than getting a real estate buyer right away. THOSE ones who don't have time to manage themselves can be your whales later on ( in real estate sales ). I've got my long game started. :)

Random trivia- there was a 1980s reboot of the "Twilight Zone" that was pretty cool.
Regrettably a lot of TV shows and movies don't storytell like they used to. Pop culture has been getting dumber and more bland since the 1990s.

I hate feeling pressure to have a 6-8 pack again. I don't get it. EVERY FUCKING TIME in the SW industry I made the least being in the fitness model genre. FOR WHAT? I dunno I wasn't appreciated. I made the least being more fit than anyone and slaving away at the gym so WHY should I push myself right now to go back? I don't want to spend 3 hours at the gym....for what? a couple extra hundred from few people. I am not willing to enter the gym until March. I live in a major city. *eyeroll* Not trying to be rude to you at all. 3 hours of being at the gym daily and then remembering an old man's sweat flying on my body on the treadmill. NOT ready until March. I get this female booker wants me in tip top shape but I'm waiting until March. I don't understand this pandemic as much as everyone else but I'm not getting sick from some stranger next to me until then. I'm absolutely terrified to enter a gym so kindly give me until March. This isn't a rural area it's a major city. I'm swapping fluids with strangers! Not trying to be mean at all just nervous.

Go to a newer 24 hour gym in a nearby suburb? The 24 hour gyms in my city are paying staff to sanitize 24/7/365. Or look on Google Maps for Cross Country Runner workout stations in parks, we had those in my town where I grew up (California.)

You can ...... it could take finding another partner ?
You definitely COULD post pics like that. :)
I believe in keeping social platforms short and sweet.
Posting more than just once every 2-3 weeks ( for anything not just relationship stuff ) is too much.
