- I took my friend on her first backpacking trip! My college roommate and best friend, Pam, recently decided to try backpacking for the first time! I took her to REI to get fitted for a pack, and then we hiked the 9-mile Wallace Lake Loop Trail here in Washington State. Watch the video to see how Pam did on her first backpacking trip!

I had such a great time!!! And I can’t wait to go backpacking again ☺️☺️☺️
You did so well, Pam! It was great to see your pure joy on the trail 😊
Best episode yet!!! Loved it!! Very entertaining!! Pam should be a regular 😀!!
Nice 👍🏼!
Great video. I'm not a pro but a bigger hiker and I use hiking poles they seem to help me on inclines. Hope this helps.
@@bighappydecalifas me too!! They help with stability especially when my body starts to feel fatigued!!
REI please take the popularity of this video as a sign that we want more plus size options! It's nearly impossible to find plus size hiking clothes that are ACTUALLY plus size, and when we do find them, they're marked up 200% from what standard sizes have to pay ($90 for a pair of shorts). There's a HUGE market for reasonably priced plus size hiking clothes!
Pus size AND tall!
And let's add a warm thought for the camera crew, who hoofed it to the top probably carrying the same camping gear, _plus_ all the camera equipment, running ahead, lagging behind and catching up, to get the perfect shots we're enjoying here. :-)
I'm really happy that Miranda reminded Pam that it's her first time backpacking when she was mentioning her weight. 🥰 People that are plus-sized are always thinking about how our weight limit us, forgetting that a thinner person could also find a similar situation challenging! A very wholesome moment. And also Pam, thank you for being brave enough to share your vulnerability ❤
Late to the party, but I have noticed that plus sized people are often in way better shape than skinny people. A new backpacker is going to struggle and it isn’t necessarily about the weight.
@@thisbeem2714 Welcome to the party lol! Thank you for sharing your thoughts :). I have a friend that is probably 100 lbs lighter than me and I can easily outrun her. While I don't glorify being overweight (I myself wish I could lose some weight), but people regularly underestimate and vilify overweight people as if we are incapable of doing anything beyond walking to the fridge from the couch.
@@eloisag4959 This is so true.
As a plus size female, I totally appreciate this video and Pam’s enthusiasm to try something new. Having a friend who is experienced and the right gear helps so much. Pam, I hope this is the start of many adventures for you.
I was just thinking the same thing. I started backpacking about 4 years ago, and finding clothes and equipment that fit me was difficult. But I also had an experienced friend who helped me get my trail legs, and now I'm hooked. I just wish places like REI and other sporting goods/sportswear companies would broaden their plus size options so that more of us can get on the trails with the proper gear.
And a friend who enjoys it and doesn't make you feel inadequate helps too.
@@JulieNapp Yes! I'm wondering if I should drive up to the Seattle store to see if they carry more options. The Portland store almost never has anything that would fit me, but to be fair, I've mostly been trying to find biking gear up to this point (ended up buying a men's rain jacket and rolling the sleeves up.)
@@JulieNapp yes! I’m planning my first backpacking trip and it’s so frustrating that these brands don’t carry my size! 😢
Poles help a lot too
As someone who is both plus sized and outdoorsy (although I'm more into canoeing/kayaking) it is nice to see some diversity from an outdoor company. Also, an encouraging and understanding companion makes all the difference in the tough moments!
I agree and with you. I love being outdoors and I love that she included her friend. It encouraging and inspiring. Having someone on your side make a world of difference, especially when it’s your bestie
What a great video and definitely wonderful to see good friends having fun and you ladies rock. Well done.
It's really heart-warming and validating to see other plus sized women doing outdoorsy stuff :)
@@emilyholewka8784 what does “plus sized” mean?
@@Steve8624 if you watch the video, we can let Pam explain this quite common expression at 13:36.
Miranda: “do NOT keep that in!”
Production: putting that in twice
😅😂🤣 They really have us in mind.
We've all said something we regret when we're feeling wankered.
_whispers behind hand_ This is production's show, gosh darn.
Pam needs her own segment! I so appreciate seeing another plus sized woman backpacking.
As a plus sized hiker it was so great to see another curvy girl doing all the outdoorsy things! Keep doing great things Pam 💃🏻
Hello Sarah
@@johnsonlamore2890 hey Johnson, how are you? Hope your holding up well.
@@eryxstenovitch213 I’m doing fine thank you , hope you are safe from the virus?
I agree!!!!
I was literally about to comment this! :) I moved to Brazil right before Covid hit and ALL of the national parks etc were closed due to Covid :( I a m hella outta shape but really wanna get back into hiking and start exploring this beautiful country! :)
Make a wish- “I wish I don’t die”
How many times I’ve made that wish on an uphill 😂😂😂
I beg for the sweet relief of death when I have to hike uphill
@@son473 😂😂 right? I’m in Pennsylvania so uphill here is up rocks uphill, just shy of certain death lol
So made that wish 2 weeks ago! Lmao!
Lmao 🤣
Me before I send it on some obstacle I have absolutely no business attempting
What do you mean take other people? We want more Pam, take her everywhere 😄
I agree, take me everywhere 😂
PAM! PAM! PAM!
WE WANT MORE PAM!!
Take Pam all of the places!!!
Love you & Pam
Watching Miranda and Pam push through the emotional challenges of shame and pain that often come with being a large-sized outdoors person was incredibly encouraging and beautiful.
Now, maybe REI can push their suppliers to produce gear for us!
Thank you so much!!
So true! When I was XL (now L) I had a VERY hard time finding pants for hiking. Then I found the exact ones Pam is wearing at REI 😍
@@pamlavallee9051Good for You! So worth it!
Yes!
“Physically exhausted which is making me not have control over my emotions”... COMPLETELY relatable 💕 Very inspiring video for those of us who haven’t done their first backpacking trip yet! 🤗
Hiked the Grand Canyon, and at one point hiking back up I did start crying from exhaustion.
My favorite parts were seeing the specialness of your friendship. The joking, the nicknames, and your compassion for her when she became emotional. You can tell that your friendship is extremely special! I hope this is a new thing you two can share.
Ditto! They have a special connection and it does come off very well in the video. ❤️👍🏼
As a plus size hiker, I don’t usually see people who look like me on the trail who look like me. It’s great seeing a plus size curvy gal backpack!! ☀️ Go Pam! Thank you Miranda for being a great teacher! I wish I had a friend to teach me how to backpack.
As a fellow plus sized chick, I've been wary about camping/backpacking but Pam totally inspired me! Just signed up for an REI camping skills class and am planning my own trip with friends
My pleasure!!! Have so much fun!!
😭 I love this friendship so much. I teared-up when Pam said she had difficulty controlling her emotions when her body was exhausted, and Miranda acknowledged it and agreed. Adore you two very much.
Everybody loves Pam. We want more of Pam.
💜💜💜💜💜 Pam, thank you for putting yourself out there and sharing your experience with us. You are a brave and powerful woman who will inspire many to get out there and enjoy nature! Thank you Miranda and REI for amazing content like this. As a plus size hiker when I started it was depressing to go into a store and not find clothes in my size, look for videos and not see anyone like me. You have no idea how happy this video made me.
I'm a plus size backpacker. Pam, you might consider hiking with trekking poles. The make a HUGE difference in conquering those hills, both on the uphill and the downhill. You go, girl! I am so proud of you!
Miranda had some poles available for me to try, but I made the choice not to. They didn’t feel super comfortable in my hands, and I was worried I’d feel more unsteady, because I’m pretty clumsy naturally and I like holding onto things. But, so many people have suggested poles so I probably should give them a fair shake!
@@pamlavallee9051 I felt the same way the first time I took poles, but I got used to them quickly and they really helped me. My kids enjoy them too, even though they are like mountain goats - it helps them be even faster. Smart, though, to not throw too many complications into the first trip!
More Pam! She did so wonderful and is so charming! I completely understand getting emotional when you're exhausted and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. Also, shouting "bridge!" is exactly my reaction to a wooden bridge every time I see one - never gets old.
Hello 👋
When Miranda said “I didn’t sign up to be a sidekick”, it would have been the perfect opportunity to follow up with a “THIS IS MY SHOW GOSH DARN!”
Yay Pam! You went backpacking! Welcome to the family and community! We loved having you! Thank you so much for agreeing to be in a Miranda video and taking us all along on your adventure!
I’m pretty sure I did actually make that joke 😂
Lmao!
@@pamlavallee9051 so glad you had the best guide, friend, mentor for your first trip. Looking forward to your hiking/camping journey. Possibly titled Pam's Adventures?
Thanks for sharing a size inclusive backpacking video. It gives me the confidence that one day I can achieve backpacking too😊
They don’t actually have plus sizes in stores. I needed gear for an upcoming trip and after seeing this video was so excited to shop in store. I waited to long and didn’t have what I needed. This video is misleading. Do better REI
Can Pam be a recurring character?
I agree, Pam seems really cool!
Yes please!
Yes!! We need more Pam in our lives, she’s great!
Love this video!! Love your friendship, and Pam is so great!!
Agree! Can this be a series please!?? 🥺
Omg Miranda, your face when Pam says "I wish I don't die"!! That was priceless. 🤣🤣
Hello Donna
I am also a large female, and grey haired too, so hiking with a heavy pack is especially challenging and I have to take it very slow. It is so awesome to see you introducing your friend to this amazing experience
Thanks for watching and for sharing your experiences, Jill. Whatever pace works for you, is what works. Keep on enjoying the trail!
Walking poles are a great help, especially for up hill slogs, if you can find yourself a light, adjustable pair with neoprene handles, they'll help, and give you confidence :) Happy trails :)
@@angeladawn805 they’ve also saved me from quite a few falls.
@@angeladawn805 Thank you for sharing this advice. I used to be quite fit and grew up in the forest, but I was struck by a chronic illness over a decade ago. It's more under control now, but I'm in terrible shape in addition to being older and creakier, and without anyone to take me, I've been afraid to give it a go. Do you have any brand suggestions?
@@Tser as long as they have a rubber tip (so not to damage the track) and neoprene or Cork handles, and wrist loops, you can't go wrong (even a cheap KMart pair is better than nothing). I'm sure your REI store will be able to help (I'm in New Zealand, so we're not lucky to have all the choices big countries get!!). Personally, I wouldn't bother with anti-shock, as it makes it heavier. And be sure to use the wrist straps, as they kinda act as a Sling, so you don't grip so tightly, and the whole forearm does the work. Best of luck to you :)
Miranda is such a good friend 🥺 it’s not often you come across people like that in the world anymore.
Pam! You crushed this trip! As a plus sized woman who loves adventuring outside I am inspired by you to stop thinking about it and actually do an overnight backpacking trip! Miranda you were such a wonderful companion for her first trip!
They don’t actually have plus sizes in stores. I needed gear for an upcoming trip and after seeing this video was so excited to shop in store. I waited to long and didn’t have what I needed. This video is misleading. Do better REI
I love how the video is honest about the challenges heavier ppl face, hiking; it isn't afraid to show Pam getting out of breath & struggling. But it also shows how, with a break, a little patience + support from her companion, & her own fantastic attitude, she is able to recover & strike boldly out again.
This is the representation we need. I hope Pam becomes a regular.
Me, my siblings, and brother in law climbed Wallace Falls and I was huffing and puffing on those switchbacks without a fully loaded backpack on. You gals killed it!
Hi Nicole
I'm a plussized hiker too and struggled a lot with a trail a few days ago so totally relate to the emotion that just escape you. I loved this video though, it is so nice seeing other people my size accomplishing these kickass things!

“I can’t wait to pee on this!” 🤣🤣 that sent me!!
THANK YOU for taking a fellow big girl hiking! I'm big and I've had so many people look at me like I'm insane when I tell them I backpack, because they assume nobody of my size could possibly do it. It's so refreshing to see someone else backpacking who looks like me! 💕
I can’t figure out who I love the most - the trail, Pam, Miranda, the bunny, Amber at REI. 🎥😎💪🥾🎉🥳 all of it. Brought back lots of memories of my first times. My friend had to drag me a couple of times. Pam was much better! 10 years later I drag other people to scenic spots!
Thank you for highlighting this park, and inspiring others to try backpacking. My Boy Scout Troop did many Eagle projects at this park. The Troop no longer exists, which makes me sad, but I'm glad to see so many people enjoying our hard work. RIP Troop 53.
Right on, Daniel! Your Troops legacy lives on. 🌲
I noticed a lot of Eagle Scout projects on our journey!!
Your friendship is so cute.
I love that there is a plus size woman in a backpacking video. I am a big girl too and am working up to backpacking level from day hiking. I loved watching her enjoy the woods and having a great time. She had more luck getting plus size clothes at REI than I’ve had. That view was gorgeous! Surprised she didn’t use poles for the steep parts but good for her. Hope she goes again!
"Whole finger or nothing!" 😂😂😂 I love watching your hiking videos. So many people on the trails are pretentious and try to pretend the climb isn't killing them. The honesty is so welcome ❤
I cannot love this video enough!! Thank you Pam for your vulnerability in this episode. The outdoors are for everyone, including us bigger girls. Thank you REI for this content and for clothes/gear that fit!
Hello 👋
As a plus size aspiring backpacker, I truly appreciated this video! Added more fuel to my fire to get to backpacking
get out there and do it. start small and work up. you'll love it!
This is the most wholesome display of friendship I've seen in a hot minute. Real friends give each other pee cloths hahaha
More first timer videos!!! And they can talk about what they found out or what myths/fears were dispelled if any about backpacking.
I'm appreciating the chaos Oscar the cat is making in this video.
He’s always been a force of chaos 😂
Pammie actually looks refreshed at the end. I would look like death warmed over. 💕
She is glowing 100% of the time 🥰 - Miranda
Hi, please let Pam know, that as a fellow fluffy woman, I am so proud of her. She was magnificent!
Miranda and Pam are the best duo since batman and peanut butter I love this video so much more more more more!!!
First backpacking trip TOMORROW! This video couldn't have come at a better time to get me hyped!
have fun!!!!!
Ooooooo have a great time, one step at a time 🥰🥰
Hope you had a great time!!
This makes me wanna go out on another spontaneous backpacking trip
@Bill Sbac There were two whole floors they didn't even show. It's like being in a Costco. (Which also started in Seattle. Maybe there's a connection, like all the rain makes our stores grow bigger...)
Not only is that REI HUGE, we have several other good sized REIs in the greater Seattle area. It’s a great place for those of us who love the outdoors. 😁
The evolution of being a chubby hiker, I feel her 100%
It's always cool to see someone experience hiking/backpacking for the first tine
I’m really glad that I stumbled on this because my sister wants to do part of the pacific crest trail next year and I’m a big girl who still has a hard time with up-hills. It’s good to see a plus sized person do these hikes.
Pam has a great attitude, hopefully this was the first of many more to come
trekking/hiking poles would be a perfect accompaniment to those of us with a couple extra lbs on us. Saves on the knees and lower back. Great video on getting the first time hikers on the trail though. Appreciate your very approachable way of introducing people to being outdoors. Kudos to you and your team.
It was definitely a personal choice for me. Miranda did have some available for me to use, but I didn’t feel like I’d enjoy it or be able to keep my balance as well. I’m naturally pretty clumsy and I was worried I wouldn’t feel as steady with the poles. But maybe I’m wrong, and I should try it anyway on my next adventure!
@@pamlavallee9051 They definitely add stability. That's the reason I use them for winter hiking.
@@pamlavallee9051 Before I got mine I tripped a... not insignificant amount, but having the poles actually helped me be more diligent because I was keeping an eye out for the best places to hit with them. I was descending a moderate hill with just the wildest amount of huge knotty roots and where normally I'd struggle, it was a breeze.
Poles really do help your stability. When you feel like you want something to hold onto to pull yourself up the hill poles help with that. You push up using your arms and legs. Need something to lean on mid stride, poles. Going down hill helps brace your downward momentum. A difficult rock or tree branch to straddle, poles. Crossing a creek, you can test the path ahead with the poles before you use your feet. At first it was a bit awkward (I broke a bone in my foot as a kid and had to use crutches, crossed them in front of me and fell flat on my face, sooo) knowing my clutzyness I practiced walking on sidewalk to get my rhythm, (with backpack on) then grass, then on hills, then on a sandy lake beach which included rocks and branches to go over. There are great videos on utube that can guide you. Finally they do help my knees.
You feel exhausted and wobbly during and after, but.....so proud of yourself because you did it. Your lungs are clear your mind is open to the beauty and the possibilities. The stresses of the trail are Not the ones at home. These are ones you conquer one foot in front of the other. What a great friend you have. There is scientific evidence," out in nature" helps our brains and our physical well-being. Good for you. Enjoy your new found life style.
PS I loved the tent shake 🕺dance. 😀 great way to get the dirt out.
Glad to see people try backpacking and having fun in the outdoors. I have been backpacking for 40+ years and there is nothing better than a good night sleep in the outdoors.
Enjoyed the video!!!
We'd have to agree! Thanks so much for watching, Charles. 😄
more first-timers! wojooooo more people enjoying nature
Hi Nicole
This is exactly the type of video I like watching from REI
Like many have already said, thank you so much for having plus sized person on the show. I really appreciate seeing myself represented. Pam is a badass. The whole piece of crying from exhaustion is so relatable. She needs to be on more often!
Hello how are you doing my friend
One of my all-time favorite Miranda videos! Love Pam! and yes, as someone new to all of this, hopeful but middle aged, I'd love to see more videos of taking newbies out.
Hi Lori
The Dynamic Duo!!! What a fun watch 😜!!! Congratulations 👏🎉 Pam!!!
1000 feet in 1 mile is amazing for a first time. Great job Pam!!!
Ah, more gold from Miranda in the Wild. People identify with and enjoy this video for different reasons but let's be basic about it; this video is entertaining, inspiring, educating, and makes me want to go backpacking again with my friends dosh garn. Let's look forward to the good times!
Pam in the wild!!! This was her show gosh darn.
Also it is my life goal to post on every video after this that “groaning makes it better!”
That needs to be a T-shirt.
“Full finger or nothing!” Hahaha
@@pwhite32590 Im wondering how many people watched to the last sec to catch that. Now Im going to hear full finger or nothing gosh darn.
I love the moment of excitement for seeing the snow covered mountains. I've lived in WA for 7 years now and it's still one of the most awesome sights I've ever seen. I hope to never lose that feeling
Nature is always showing us new views. We're sure you'll never run out of exciting sites to see! 😊 💚
Doesn’t want to poop in the woods!!!! Gets chili mac....
I DIDNT KNOOOOOW
@@pamlavallee9051 haha
@@pamlavallee9051 Never buy Chili Mac unless you are eating at home lol.
@@howardguillory3811 I love Chili Mac on trail but I also like being “regular” lol nothing worse than not pooping for a day then having to hike
😂 chili Mac. Add some hot sauce and boom trail lava
You two made me cry. Such a wonderful friendship. Thank you for sharing it.
“That bunny just did a 180 into eating a LEAF” had me dying laughing haha
Such a Mood right?
It's always stressful brining a new backpacker into the woods for the first time but this was great to watch. Pam's enthusiasm is infectious and makes me want to hit a trail. Also, I know you two were college roommates because in spite of her clear fear of pooping in the woods, you bought chili mac. Exactly what I would have done to my college roommates! Lol
Awww guys! I've been grinning since the start of the video. Well done Pam!!! I hope that was the first of many more hikes for you. It's a great hobby!
Hello Stephanie
@@ItsAStephanieB how are you doing, hope you are safe from the virus?
@@ItsAStephanieB same here , where are you texting from?
The amount of joy and pride Miranda has in her face at 24:18 is so endearing.
Hi how are you doing my friend
Pam did fricking amazing, talk about jumping in the deep end! I’m a chonky lady into hiking, and holy crap the pack weight makes a HUGE difference. Something I could hike up easily knocks my socks off when I have a full wild camping pack (and cameras) on me. This was FAB and I hope to see more with Pam :)
Thank you for the kind words! Do you have any hiking plans in your future?
@@rei hoping to explore my local national parks soon before it gets too cold in the uk 😊
Pam congratulations!
I've been trying to get my daughter into hiking but she would always tell me she's to big. So I want to give a heartfelt thank you to Pam. After coming across your video I shared it with her. It inspired her to get out too. I pray that this will be the beginning of a healthier life. God bless and stay safe.
I would love an extended version, with all Pam's genuine cursing, suffering, all spectrum of emotions. It is called "Type-2 fun", ey?
I am glad Pam and I had the same reaction to eating the biscuits & gravy. The little happy dance
Pam, you killed it! I am 32 and just now allowing myself to be adventurous and enjoy the outdoors. I have let being plus sized stop me for way too long. I am so happy to see you out there in the wild!
I was incredibly nervous, but honestly this entire experience was so transformative for me as a plus size person. It was amazing to see what my larger body is capable of achieving!
You did awesome Pam!
Wow, this Video made me cry and laugh. Thank you for showing the emotional side of backpacking too, the worries, the exhaustion and the joys. I had a very emotional experience hiking uphill a few days ago and this makes me realize, that it's normal and fine.
Also, Pam is so likeable! Maybe we can see her in other videos, too :))
Yes!! I bet I can get her back for a round 2 😊 - Miranda
Pam is cool!
OK, REI... bring on more Pam!
More Pam please! Love to see someone my size hiking. I get really intimidated by shopping and anxious about asking for breaks throughout the hike.
Always take breaks!! As Miranda has told me, the activity IS backpacking. There’s no rush to get to camp, except to get camp set up before dark. Backpacking doesn’t have to be painful.
Loved the first episode of "Pam in the wild". A great episode to show to friends to get them to backpack. If the Seattle REI is considered a mega -version, then glad to know the Asheville NC is comparable. I believe Brits and Aussie viewers would bust a gut laughing about Miranda's alternate expression for "tuckered out"
Yep this Aussie thoroughly enjoyed that bit hahahhaa
Yup! That face Miranda pulled when Pam said "I wish to not die"? That was me.
In Britain w*nkered also means drunk.
Love this so much! :) Thanks, REI for being inclusive (and I love seeing that Gregory pack fit like a glove). Having packs in both plus-size and standard size is a GAME CHANGER! Happy trails! ❤️
Hello how are you doing my friend
LOVED 🥰 more Pam 🗳
Pam, you did wonderfully! Great attitude while being pushed beyond your comfort zone and your appreciation for the natural world is commendable!
I’d never been to the PNW before this trip, and I was constantly amazed at how gorgeous the scenery is! Backpacking was definitely out of my comfort zone, but I’m so glad I did it. Having an amazing friend like Miranda definitely helped.
@@pamlavallee9051 I'm a little older, heavier (lots actually) and a wee bit slower than I used to be. That being said, I've also learned that its about the journey, the scenery and the friendships- NOT about how far you can go, how much you can carry or how many medallions are on your hiking staff. You got all that on your first trip!!! I wish you many happy trails and adventures, Pam!
@@scottm6927 exactly! Miranda and I kept saying through the trip that we weren’t in any rush to get anywhere, whether we made it there in 2 hours or 6 hours, the destination was the same, but it was far more enjoyable to go slow and just enjoy the journey!
This is definitely one of my favorite videos. My face hurts from smiling. Thanks for sharing your friendship and vulnerability.
Definitely one of my favorite episodes! Taking a friend backpacking for the first time will make great memories for both of you.
More of Pam, please!!
Pam YOU'RE AMAZING! I'm so proud of you ❤️ As a plus sized woman, I know the feels you had during this adventure all too well. Thank you for being you, friend 🫂
This is such a great hiking video. Hiking can be tough, tiresome, and all out draining. Especially for a first timer. Something keeps us coming back and truly loving it though. Very proud of your friend Miranda and welcome her to the club.
Nice job Pam and Miranda - can't wait for more episodes of "Miranda and Pam in the wild".
Bring Pam out for another adventure! Awesome watching 2 friends conquer the wilderness together! =)
Bring pam again it was so heart melting to see real good hearted friends get together.i was in tears .
One of my favorite episodes! As a plus size avid backpacker and hiker I so appreciate this video! Hikers and backpackers come in all shapes and sizes.
Hi Amy
As a Brit, "Wankered" means to be very drunk. "Knackered" would be very tired. Keep up the good work!
This can't be true. I get called a wanker all the time and I haven't had a sip of alcohol!
9 miles for a first time hiker who is not used to carrying a pack.... you rock Pam!
Can i just say that, as a plus size hiker, I am happy to see another out there. This video was such fun, thank you both for your lovely selves.
Your adventure just made me say, "I'm going Backpacking this weekend with my best Friend in the whole world, My Wife"!
Thank you guys 👋😉
Great job ladies
This is definitely my favorite Miranda in the Wild video so far!! I'm also a plus-size woman, and watching this was so empowering, and Miranda and Pam's relationship was so awesome to see. I hope we see more of Pam in the future!
Canadians love Pam! She is a trouper!
Every awesome outdoor expedition should begin with an awesome shopping expedition! (This isn't sarcasm). Way to share the love! Keep it coming!
