THANK YOU ALL of our Humor Contributors:
Yes! We are still working on capturing video with audio for all of our Contributors. ;0) This time we had the audio right, the video right, the lighting was sort of mediocre, but good enough. However, we discovered that the ipone shut off after 13 minutes due to a storage issue. So now we have to delete some videos and make room! Ahhhhh, but we NEVER give up! We will try again next time and soon.....you'll be able to hear our voices AND see our flabby arms. ;0). Can't wait.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to our $5 per month contributors Sarah, Wendy, Jessica J., Jessica K., Katie, Colleen, Ursula, Nancy, Kenny, Karren, Jeanine, Muffin, Darlene, Courtney, Joan. We also have one-time gift contributors who prefer to support us with a one-time gift. Thank you to Gayle, Carla, Beverly and Linda. We also have recently had several $1 contributions to our efforts here by people we don't personally know. It's been such a surprise and a thrill that people would support us at all. Thank you for your generous support. Your support encourages us to keep going and it does offset the cost of hosting the podcast. ;0)
