 Hello and welcome to Blue Lai Day 28. It is laundry day Q&A. I'm just gonna sit here Hopefully Doyle will walk through the little hallway at some point I asked you guys to send me questions on the Instagrams and I am going to answer a few of them If you guys are not familiar, this is my Instagram right here. This is the image I asked you guys to do the Instagram questions too, so I've got quite a few comments So let's get into this. I'm gonna get a little bit more comfortable here. This is a good question It says, I believe I heard you say you donated blood to get extra money If not, I misunderstood. You didn't misunderstand, but you did mention something like that. Can you please explain? Thanks? Absolutely. So in an effort to save money for a down payment on a house back when I was in Defargo I had I've never done it here One of my friends actually from the cities would give blood plasma and so I was asking like how does this work and Then they explained to me what it was and I was like, okay great. So I attempted To give blood plasma they do actually pay you regardless if it works or not, but I've got like deep veins In the veins that you do see like aren't the right vein. I mean, I'm not a I'm not a professional Okay, like I am not a physician a doctor anything but they could not get it to like Come out of me, right? I don't know. So I did it three times and they actually paid me every time to do it even though I didn't actually Get like a full donation, unfortunately But yeah, that's something that you can look into in your area if they have it I can't remember the place. I did mine through but it was in Fargo I don't I think they have them in Minnesota too, but it's just like a blood plasma donation place So but they will pay you for your donation I don't remember how much it was, but I figured hey, why not? This is a funny one. Do you do anything to keep in shape other than walking soil? I need motivation in that department. Well girl, I am not in shape I have hypothyroidism if you want to look more into it go ahead I don't talk a lot about fitness and health on my channel because I feel like it's super personal I know people know that I have thyroid disease But I don't like to talk about it because every time I do I get lots of comments in the Yeah down below saying that I'm doing something wrong or I don't know I Legit don't want to hear about it because Everyone's body reacts so differently to different things and I'm not in the position to tell you what to do And you're not in the position to tell me what to do My health is between me and my doctors and that's it and I don't want to give Misinformation because that's like my story. I guess. I don't know. I would just rather not but yes I do walk Doyle three times a day and Yeah, I I enjoy it. I enjoy being active. I don't really enjoy being active right now Because it's just so humid outside and I just get sweaty and gross and I feel nasty But yeah, but you know like in the fall when it's like a good like 50 60 low 70s like that is like the perfect time to be outside for me personally But I live in the north so I run a little cold. Ah, this is an awesome question What is the weirdest food combination that you find delicious? Okay? There's this girl that I went to school with her name is Colleen. Hi Colleen if you're watching you probably aren't but hello anyways So she told me about nacho cheese Doritos and ranch salad dressing All right, so I thought oh gosh. This is like craziness It's gonna be horrible But the ranch dressing has to be cold mind you like it doesn't taste as good if it's like room temperature ranch It has to be like cold ranch salad dressing and you dip it I mean you don't dip it like you would like a nacho like a like a nacho cheese Like you know like the goopy nacho cheese stuff. You just place it in there and then you eat it, you know It's like it's not a scoop thing. It's just like a dip thing You know like a carrot stick, but like a Dorito carrot stick The first couple ones are like wait this tastes different and then now like I can't eat like if I Get nacho cheese Dorito or yeah nacho cheese Doritos like I have to dip them But I mean I rarely ever buy them But if I do like from out of part like a party or something I can't just eat like nacho cheese Doritos. I I need my ranch dressing I know it's really silly, but This happened in middle school and I've been like this ever since so thanks Colleen. All right So next question after you pay off your house. Are you going to do a debt-free scream? Well, I thought about it. I mean that's Several years away. I would love the opportunity to But I don't know maybe I mean, what do you guys think? I think that would be kind of a fun little trip Next question. I know you like chinese food. Have you ever tried or liked greek or persian food? I have had greek food before it's really not up my alley persian food. I've never had I have a friend that Is greek and I have tried several greek dishes and I don't know. I'm just not a fan Maybe it was the things that they made. I don't know I've also tried were they euros. It's like spelled gyro, but it's not it's a euro But also not a fan, but I I have really bland taste in food, so Don't take my advice. Uh next question. Will you be painting the kitchen cabinets? If so, what color? Yes, I will be painting the kitchen cabinets and I will be doing them white Oh, I saw this question a while ago and I was like, I want to answer this for sure um this Person asks How did you get into being a youtuber and what has been your favorite part of being a youtuber? So How I became a youtuber which I use like With quotations because I don't feel like I'm a youtuber, but um, I just feel like I'm a sharer Does that make sense? But I put it on youtube obviously Um, but yeah So how I got into it is I watched a lot of youtube for several years before I decided to Take the plunge and actually like film myself My favorite part of youtube is actually interacting with you guys like down in the comments or on social media I think that's really fun And I remember a lot of you guys that comment regularly and I have interactions with on instagram and facebook And all that kind of social media stuff, which I think is super fun because Obviously we share some sort of common interests, which is probably why you follow me. Um, but yeah I just really enjoy the camaraderie And learning about your guys's stories too Also hearing like suggestions on what you guys want to see from me for videos Like you guys give me the best suggestions on stuff So I love asking your opinions on a lot of stuff. This is a good question It says hey, Emily. I noticed you stated you bank with a bank. Yes, I do Do you have any opinions on the credit union versus bank debate? Well, I don't really have an opinion growing up my parents or I should say my father Banked at a local credit union and my mom had like a national chain bank So but they like had separate bank accounts, but they were on each other's bank accounts So like nothing was hidden. It just works for them. I know that's not not the way you normally do things But that's just always worked for them and it still works for them now I had an account at the local credit union as well growing up and I moved everything over to a national bank Actually a couple of different national banks. I've been a part of I don't know. Um I don't have an opinion because as an adult I have never used a credit union for banking. So I I don't know Also, I really enjoy the flexibility of having lots of different atms and being able to travel I'm really happy that my bank actually is a chain down in florida too So when i'm visiting my parents if I need to take cash out for some reason or whatever Um, normally I don't have to because I usually pull my cash out like at the bank before I go anywhere If I need cash for something that there are banks down there and there are those atms down there Where I don't get hit with like, you know a ton of fees and stuff So I don't really have an opinion, but sorry. I can't help you. Um, all right So someone says hello just wondering why you didn't buy a house closer to work property value. That's why Property value. I can get a whole lot more house up here for a way less price and in a better neighborhood. So Yeah, here's another good one. I know Doyle doesn't get along with other dogs. So true So I mean down the line will you get another fur baby? Would you buy from a breeder again or would you consider adopting? um If it was a sheba which Doyle's a sheba inu I would probably get from a breeder again I have a lot of friends that have shebas and the sheba rescue organizations are fantastic Don't get me wrong, but I've had Doyle since he was a puppy and he is so neurotic I mean you guys see him in the vlogs, but he's at home like he's chill because he's at home I mean I take him in the car and he's just nuts like he just can't handle change very well And a lot of shebas are like that. They're kind of neurotic. Some of them are just neurotic in their own home too I know a few people that have had sheba rescues in their home or fostered them and it's just they're Not ever gonna be very well adjusted, which is sad So I think if I ever got a sheba again, I would get it from a breeder But have I considered adoption? Absolutely. Like, you know, I would do it with a different breed of dog I I don't know if I could do a sheba Adoption, but I know that's bad to say, but I'm telling you the truth and I'm not opposed to like getting a different breed of dog You know once Doyle is gone someday because he will be gone someday. I I don't know what type of breed but I would still do smaller I think because I do like the accessibility to just like pick him up and remove him from a situation because If I had you know an 85 pound dog, I wouldn't necessarily be able to like just pick up the dog and walk away So Be a little bit more difficult. Uh, what kind of laptop do I use? I use a 15 inch macbook pro This is a hilarious question. If you were a vegetable Which vegetable would you be? She says I was asked this in a job interview and thought it was really funny. Yes, that is hilarious. Um If I were a vegetable, what would I be? Obviously something delicious. I hope um, what kind of vegetable? I mean, I love vegetables you guys Mmm Let me think oh, I've got a good answer. I would be a sweet potato because Carbs first of all, I mean hello plus sweet potatoes are freaking delicious and I love potatoes Um, I don't think I haven't found a potato. I don't like You know come on and sweet potatoes. Oh my god. They're so good Baked sweet potatoes. Oh So yummy a little bit of cinnamon and sugar on that thing. Oh my god amazing Now this is a good question. Do you have a type when it comes to men? um Like if I think back on like all the boyfriends I've had in my day They're all very Different from each other, but I feel like most of them Most of them Were physically similar ish If that makes sense their personalities were totally different. I've dated guys that are Very outgoing. I've dated guys that are more introverted Um, and I kind of prefer the introverts to be completely honest not that there's anything wrong with outgoing guys But usually I'm the outgoing one in the relationship Um, like on a social scale, but not always. So yeah, I don't know. I guess I don't have a a type per se You know, and I've dated lots of different guys in different types of careers I've dated like labor type people That work in like the trades. I've you know dated guys that wear a suit and tie to work every day Um, I've dated guys that wear uniforms to work every day and work in public service and I don't know. I mean Hey I don't really have a type Maybe I should get a type and then that would like help me out, you know Has Doyle always been so calm or what was he like as a puppy? And let's say when and where did you get him? Okay, so I got him I've kind of answered this question already, but a little bit different Um, I got him from a breeder in Worthington, minnesota I don't know if they still breed she-buzz or not. I don't know and I got him at I think like eight and a half weeks old And then let's see has he always been so calm? No. No, he's He's gotten a lot calmer with his old age. He's 10 and a half, but I mean when he was a puppy He was just like zoom zoom zoom zoom zoom all the time And it really helped that um when I got him fixed that actually helped a lot. He's always been kind of Excited about life next question. Do you use anything for home protection or have you considered a home alarm system now that you're In your own place. You know what I have I would love to eventually like Not now, but maybe like in a year or two get like a home security system I would like to have cameras everywhere because obviously I do this so hello But just like that doesn't freak me out to have like a camera in every room and stuff and like motion activated stuff But yeah, I think I would I always I also like that what's it called the eye ring or the ring or something like that when you like Ding dong the doorbell and there's like a little camera I think that's kind of cool too But I want to do some more research on those because there's like either really really positive reviews on those or there's like really Really negative reviews. So um, I don't know. I want to I want to do some more research plus they're going to come out with new things in the upcoming years anyway So yeah at some point I'll get some sort of home security system Um, I just want to get more educated on it. This is interesting. How did you get into your current job? I am looking to change careers and would love to know how you transitioned from your old job to your current job Did schooling play a part schooling did not play a part in it. Um, how did I Get into my job? Okay. So what I did before is I worked for a natural stone countertopping place for nine years And now what I currently do is working in the construction field. So They kind of go hand in hand Not really but kind of but I mean I only did like one specialty before which was just countertops And then I mean it was just natural stone. So it was like very very Hyper focused and now I'm kind of all over the board with like Jilling with electrical and plumbing and HVAC and all these things that I don't know anything about like It's kind of mind-boggling, but it I mean, it's fine. I'm understanding it It's a lot plus I don't necessarily do the labor part of it I do a lot of the scheduling and a lot of the follow-up and selections and Anyway, a lot I do a lot But yeah, I guess uh, the way I would advise you of like how to transition Would just be to like if you have a job right now What do you like about your current job? Maybe what do you not like about your current job? And then, you know, try to find a job that is more to your liking I guess also if it's like a totally different thing say you work at a regular desktop and you want to You know be a dog groomer or something You know, maybe talk to some people in the area that do dog grooming and see if you can do like Apprenticing on the side and see if you really like it. I don't know. Um Maybe I'm like the worst at this kind of advice you guys. I'm sorry But that might be something I would do or like ask friends and family or maybe even like I do this a lot on my personal facebook is I'll like do a shout out like Hey, does anybody know anyone that does this in the area or whatever or hey Does anyone have any advice about this and it's kind of amazing like what facebook friends kind of come out of the woodwork And a lot of times what will happen is like it's like say if I'm looking for like an electrician for example Like for my own personal place to be like, hey, does anyone know anybody good at electricians? And someone might tag somebody else in it and then like we'll start in the conversation or whatever like And maybe ask on facebook Unless you're like friends with people that you currently work with and you can't do that. I don't know. I'm sorry. I wish I could help I don't know I'm the worst at advice you guys. I'm just the worst. All right. So next question. It's a financial question Do you pay bills on autopay or sit down and do them yourself? How do you remember the days which things are due? And it says this might be a cool financial friday vid lastly Do you pay the bills on the day they're due or beforehand? I always pay my bills before they're due because I do everything through my bank Except for I have one payment or no, I've got two payments. So my netflix is automatic and also my Auto insurance is automatic. So that comes out and I don't have to like Plug it in I plug in everything else and I really enjoy that control for some reason So but I pay everything beforehand because my bank it takes Typically one to two business days for it to like go through just depends on the place that I'm sending my money to And how fast like they accept the money. But yeah, so I pay everything in advance Um, how do I keep track of them most of my stuff? I actually get like a physical like hard copy bill mailed to me, which I kind of prefer I don't know why I'm like so old school that way What happens is I will just kind of pile up a little stash of them and then usually Like I get paid every friday. So usually like saturday or sunday If there's anything to pay I'll usually do it then, you know, just because I can and that's when I do it Um, unless it's something that I see and I'm like, oh my gosh this is due in like less than a week and then I pay it right away because usually Usually they bill like say if it's something to do on the 15th they Bill out on like the 31st or the last day of the month And then you've got like a couple of weeks to pay it I guess so I don't know I like that control So I like to do it just through my checking account. All right And I think this is going to be the last question for the q&a because this video is getting really long Says hi, Emily. What kind of music do you listen to? And who is your favorite artist? Love love love your channel. Whoa three loves. Thank you Oh, how do I answer this question? Uh I like pretty much all kind of music Um, I can tell you there's one type of music that I really don't like And it is like that Head thumping like house music like that techno house music. Oh my god Gag me. I don't like that stuff. I'm sorry if you guys like that. Oh my gosh It gives me a splitting headache Thankfully I'm out of that stage in life where I actually would go to clubs Because I'm freaking old but I really don't appreciate that kind of music just because it gives me a headache Like late 90s early 2000s rap. I'm like a really big fan of I think a lot of you have seen my t-shirt that says But first gangster rap And it's kind of funny because a lot of times you see those shirts and says like but first coffee No, I don't drink coffee, but I do listen to gangster rap and I love it Also, I listen to I don't know Like just chill music I don't know. I'm so boring. Let me see on my iTunes. Like what's the last thing I bought? Probably nothing interesting Let's take a look and see. Okay. So let me just scroll through all the artists and you guys will kind of get a gist All right. All right. So now we're in focus. All right. So here are The artists some of them are probably weird because I think I have my iTunes music in here too Which it would be like an artist you wouldn't know anything about But yeah And I don't have like a ton of music but I listen mostly to pandora And my favorite station at pandora is hip-hop barbecue Listen to it. It's freaking good. Oh, did you guys see 50 cent at the end? Maybe maybe not. I don't know That's my musical playlist. All right. So Doyle never came up here. So let's see if we can get up here.
