My answer to Jason @blueoxmodelshop3405 community question. How does this hobby help with mental health?
Great answer Larry....thanks for sharing. This hobby is a great thing to so many. Love it.
Glad you enjoyed it and it really is an awesome community. It's not always that you find a group of like minded people, all over the world I might add, that care for each other as the modeling community. Yeah, there have been some bad eggs, but they get scrambled eventually.
@LarrysModelShop absolutely, it's pretty cool to be apart of it✌️
Thank you for opening up, Larry. Great video, I'm glad that this hobby helps.👍👊✌
What makes it great is, it's a hobby that I really enjoy. It's also where I've met some great people. Helping me focus on something other than my issues is great. Thanks for stopping by!!
Nothing better for me to redirect my thoughts than getting to the bench. Thanks for sharing, my friend.
You and me both! I can get lost when I sit at the work bench. I just started getting back to Hot Wheels again. Coming to a video soon.
@@LarrysModelShop ah. Awesome!! Well I’ll for sure look forward to that too. I also have a love for 1/64 stuff. Still have a bunch from when I was a kid. Love to see people customize them and bring them back to life.
I suffer from the same thing Larry, it can get overwhelming for sure. Thanks for your story.
It's actually surprising just how many people in the model community suffer from this same thing. Thank you for sharing that David.
Thanks for sharing Larry.
Thanks Justin. It's just one of things people deal with, but others that don't, are not really able to understand it.
Great video Larry. Thanks for sharing.
It was a great question posed by Jason. This community is really a great place and is amazing that people can share their deep, dark secrets and not be judged because of them.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! Appreciate you stopping in.
I have Tinnitus as well. Enjoyed hearing your response. Thanks for sharing
Since doing my video, it's amazing just how.many others are dealing with tinnitus also. Thank you for your response.
My cousin has Tinnitus, Some days its a struggle for him for sure!! Thanks for sharing your story my friend!!
It can be hard for people to understand just how tough it can be living with it every day, but that can be said for any type of aliment we as humans go through. I also have type 2 diabetes and if you don't have it, you can't understand the struggle it is everyday looking at the foods we eat, counting not calories, but sugar and carb content. Thank you for such a thought provoking question!
Eye opening to see so many people have overcome so much stuff. Thanks for sharing, keep on keeping on pal, glad you're able to find an outlet with the hobby and the people around you.
Thank you so much! I agree, so many have been forthcoming with their issues and how modeling has helped them.
Nice response. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Michael! Thanks for stopping in and checking it out!
Awesome response, Larry! Building models helps me to forget about all the crap going on in the world and some of the health issues I've had.
Yes, I agree with you. With so much negative things happening in the world, a small measure of escape is good. It's a plus that we get to do what brings us happiness and joy.
👍🏻👍🏻
🤙🤙
Thanks for the video Larry i have tinnitus too if its at night i often think there's light rain outside some noise like jet washers can set it off . My years working with chain saws did me although i used ear defence . Glad to see your model building gives you a measure of respite marra . Regards Gav.
Yes, I'm glad that it offers me some respite from the constant ringing. I could see how it could drive someone mad if they didn't have something to distract them from it. I'm so happy my distraction is modeling. Have a great one Gav!!
Another great answer, brother, thank you for sharing some of your story ✌️😊
Thanks for listening to me ramble. Have a great rest of your week!!
@@LarrysModelShop you too, brother 😊
Hi Larry, very sorry to hear about your tinnitus. I do have to sleep with a white noise generating machine in order to be able to block out all the other noises. So not being able to ignore the noise that's going on in my hearing would be a big problem for me. So I understand how frustrating this could be for you. Thank you for sharing your story. and I couldn't agree with you more about the sentiments of how the community is for the rest of us and the support they can offer. Take care, BG
Thank you so much for your response to this video. It's aways awesome when a video we make can generate a response from other's within the community. Yeah, luckily, I'm able to deal with the noise in my ears. It was amazing to hear the Dr tell me some people just can't deal with it. I'm not sure I could actually handle a white noise machine. I know that sounds funny when I've got this noise in my ears all of the time. Well, to each his own right!? Take care!
Sorry to hear that Larry i know where your coming from I also have that tinnitus form working in a noisy body shop as your have said there is no cure for it I took part in a new program with the hospital where they give me a tiny noise generator to put in my ears to try and drowned out the tinnitus the whole point of this program the ENT doctor said to me is that this new device will train your brain to forget the tinnitus and focus on this new noise which is a bit pointless had to use them at night when I was asleep I tried them for a 18 month period before i quite the program maybe some day they will find a cure for it as millions of people around the world suffer from it 👍👍
I'm not sure trading one noise for anther is any better. I've dealt with this one for so long now, my brain is kind of used to it. Introducing a different one would be horrible. Thanks for sharing that.
Great response and I was reading about that a few weeks ago as I randomly get that ringing in my ears…no fun! 🤙🏼
Thanks Paul! Hopefully, it's not tinnitus!
Larry, I too have really bad tennitus. It has gotten much worse lately, my life of being around the grinding machines I use in my business, as well as loud car and bike engines, has taken it's toll. Yes, there are times when it is maddening. I just recently read that some people have it so bad, that a physician can put a stethoscope to a patients ear and hear it! (I may be close!) Mine is constant also. In my office, I have a disc playing the sound of the ocean all day every day. Ceiling fans can help when you are trying to go to sleep. There are many "white noise" machines available that play the sound of rain, streams, etc; that can help as well. I'm not a pill popper, so I say no to any drug too, and there is really no cure. The airbrush has been my go-to place most of my life for sanctuary from anxiety, which directly correlates with my model building. Thanks for sharing!
Man, yours sounds like it can get pretty rough. at it's worst, mine can sound like coqui frogs. Google it and see what they say about those little buggers. I'm so glad I found model building again. Have a great weekend coming up and thank you for sharing that you also have this problem.
hi Larry..... i have the same as you 24/7 with the ringing/buzzing ...sometimes it's really bad... anyhow thx 4 sharing your story... vinny
Wow! It does suck and every so often there will be a really loud buzzing in one ear. Thanks for watching Vinny!!
Great answer sir. love your channel and videos. Your builds are awesome also buddy. Thanks for sharing your story sir.
Thank you so much for an awesome comment. It really makes me feel good to know that people like you appreciate what I'm doing. Really, I feel goofy sometimes making videos and when I watch them back I think to myself, "Is anyone really getting anything from this stuff I'm doing?" Take care my friend and know that I really appreciate you!!
Thank you sir. I feel the same way lol. Am like who the heck is going to watch these videos lol.
15 years as a firearms instructor so yep, about 99% of the time. That 1% is always so nice! I didn't even mention this in my video on mental health, it's just so much a part of daily life
Firearms instructor is a tough one. It's not a constant loud noise, but man, it's loud when they do go off. Even with proper hearing protection, that sound is loud and sharp. It would be nice to have a 1% like you have. Instead, I have an opposite 1%. In the form of a high pitch scream in my right ear every once in a while. That will get your attention!
@@LarrysModelShop perhaps I wrote it wrong, I have the ringing about 99% of the time. But those little breaks are nice. I don't get the "screams" , I don't want to imagine that!
@@pappytinkers Nope, you wrote it correctly. Maybe I wrote my reply wrong. Your 1% of no noise would be nice. For me, there's no time that I don't have the ringing and 1% of the time I'll get that scream.
@@LarrysModelShop that really sucks that you don't get the break! Do you find that certain tones hurt? Like a high pitched bark or child
dambit man great vid although with me its only sometimes but its there and im having difficulty lately more and more jus trying to get through another day one of my daughters has it almost all the time and yes it can drive a body insane 4 chur😁scooter d😎thx 4 sharing 😂
Thank you for the positive comment! I really appreciate it. Yeah, there are those times when it does seem to nag at me, but I have the attitude that I will not let it get me down. I understand how it can bring people down and I don't have anything negative to say about anyone that needs help dealing with tinnitus. Like all things in life, we each deal with things differently. Take care my friend and thank you!!
I don't think that I've ever gotten mad enough at a kit that I've either thrown it in the trash, or worse, throw it against the wall. My chopped 49 Merc was the first kit that I ever customized. It would get frustrated and put it back in the box, work on it again maybe 6 or 8 months later, get frustrated again, back in the box it went. That build took me 4 years, and I have some anger issues that modeling seems to take from me.
That's how it's been for me. Never tossed a kit or thrown one. Not sure I could do one as wall art. For the most part, it focuses my energy in positive ways
GREAT TOPIC JASON🤘🙏 GREAT ANSWER LARRY🤘🙏
Thank you Boston! I think it was an awesome question posed to the community.
