      Yea losing a parent around her age tends to put a long lasting numb kind of hurt on you.. something that maybe years down the road suddenly hits you like a brick facelift and hurts bad. At the beginning you just try to maintain the face and keep it inside so you can still get through work or school or life in general.. lost my mom suddenly when i was just a year or two older than her and a year later my pops took his own life then followed my sister with the same thing. Grandparents on both sides had already just passed themselves so i feel her pain although everybody deals with it different.. with me i dont think ive done it well and itching everyday to join my dad and sister.

    Even if this was all I got for $99us as a one year sub, I'd still be pretty happy with it, but there's so many older live-streams to go through, it's a real value proposition.

      They are cycling through cameras more, often action started and they'd cycle to another shot. They were usually super super tight shots. 1-3 cars max.
