That's great.😁How efficient do you find yours? Any problems with it?

@AsexualiseMyAsexualLife None so far. I did notice that you have less than half of your black ink remaining. I suggest you get it refilled so it won't cause any damage to your printer. Also, every once in a while, I also clean the printer heads to ensure that the files you're printing come out neatly.

@@DaSuTro Oh I thought you watched the whole video, to know that the printer with the low black ink doesn't work anymore, so there is no point in filling it up with ink, when I need to get rid of it, that was the whole reason why I bought the brand new printer, which is an upgraded model. It was printing out fine even with the low ink before it stopped working, as it wasn't so low it had to be changed yet. As I mentioned in the video it won't feed the paper no matter what I do, it keeps saying paper out even though I updated the firmware for it and it won't do any tests that require it to feed paper etc, I tried cleaning the printer heads which I did not that long ago, and that didn't work this time either - look like that wasn't working this time around, I also explain in the video that I dropped it by accident years ago and it's always had a problem with the paper feed since that time, but now it won't work at all, it doesn't recognise it has any paper in it and I have tried multiple times to get it to recognise it by going through fanning the paper, etc. And what I didn't say in the video is, I have had to use a physical wedge in it for years, to push the paper to the feeder since I drooped it and so it's always had problems for years and I've spent a lot of time having to pull paper out from paper jams, or push the paper further up into it, but now it's completely stopped working that's the ET4750 - my new model is ET4856 - which I haven't unboxed yet and set up - but looking forward to doing that asap, I was doing paperwork until the early hours last night and have a lot of shopping to do today - got to catch a bus later for that - as I can't walk as much at the moment, due to my foot injury.

So glad you can relate to this 😍🤩🥰

Awwww, thank you so much xx It helps having an attractive rainbow tinsel Christmas tree. 🥰

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@ I’m joking obv dw

@@Allae_bralstarqueen25808 😀😁

Awwww, thank you Liam so much, I really appreciate your kind words about me! 🥰

Yey! So glad you're looking forward to our interview episode airing! I think people are going to love hearing more of your asexual perspectives and find them very beneficial. 🤩Thanks for being a great interviewee. 😀

@@AsexualiseMyAsexualLife Thanks! I think so too, and I'm really glad and honoured to help you spread the message and such.

Thanks for sharing your perspective, and yes. I think it should be down to the individual. I think you make a good point about the acronym - I agree with that idea. I appreciate you being here.

That's horrible to feel excluded in a place which is supposed to be inclusive. I'm sorry you received this treatment. There are a number of childfree groups on Facebook - and there is an LGBTQ+ friendly one here facebook.com/groups/3072107379779342 I haven't tried this myself, but I hope it's useful to you.

I'm glad you found this video helpful and relatable and i'm sorry sorry he inflicted this pain on you. I'm so proud of you for walking away, even when it hurt, because you recognised that he was hurting you and staying with him would only lead to more pain. I think you should give yourself so much praise for doing what many others would not have the courage to do and be proud of yourself for still having high standards and walking away. You are veery strong and resilient and although this guy broke your heart, he cannot break you, as you are way too strong for that. Know it's okay to grieve though and continue to take all the time you need to heal. Sending you much love and hugs your way xx

Hi Julie, thanks. It was a great movie. I'm curious to know why, now you're older, you don't go to the cinema like you used to in your 20s?

That would be totally unacceptable for me and I would class that as cheating, I'm fiercely monogamous and just because I'm asexual, doesn't mean to say I don't deserve the same monogamy as any other sexual orientation, I'm not interested in sharing a partner and I would rather stay single forever than have a partner who is cheating on me.

Thanks for your concern, but I don't have an oxalate problem - I've had a blood test since this video.

I believe yes, you are right - from what I can remember and it looks like it!

It's called, thankfully I am alive as the electrics literally blew up (flame) and leaked carbon monoxide and a cheaper (FREE) electric heater - which is what I have from National Grid - along with heaters leant to me from the letting agency, is not only far more expensive than gas to run, it doesn't give me any hot water. Hot water is a basic need and this boiler is a write off and they have to get permission from the council to put scaffolding up, to get into the roof, and a road permit, before they can get and install a new boiler.

I think you have Nandos in your country too?

Yeah, exactly - I thought things couldn't get worse, thank God I'm alive to see 2025. Happy New Year. 🤩

This is a great question, well I liked Ariana Grande, until I saw this movie and i just hated the superficialness of her character so much, that it's put me off the real person she is. I hate the fact her character was trying to change Elphaba even when they were meant to be friends, and she stayed with the people who betrayed Elphaba - that's not a true friend, but disgusting behaviour. As I am about being authentic, sticking up for what you believe in, and not allowing those who abuse your trust and use you to stay in your life, I relate more to Elphaba than Glindain this part 1 - especially with what happened in some parts of my childhood and life - being bullied for being different, for example, and looks at that time. So I wasn't thinking much about looks, but rather character traits, and it's ironically actually Glinda who has wicked character traits in this part one, not Elphaba.

@ Yeah even as a Glinda fan I was disappointed how she wanted to change Elphaba.

@@violet1716 Yeah, it was really bad - very wicked of her to try to change Elphaba.

I'm sending you so much community love and hugs right now xx. I'm glad you left him, even though I know how incredibly painful it must have been for you and there is never any excuse for abuse. I totally agree with you, if he is still getting over his ex, he should not have got involved with you and showed you any type of feelings - he should have left you alone in peace. I can imagine how hard it must have been. It was heart-wrenchingly painful to have gone through my short-term relationship and break-up this year with an Indian guy who ended up being bad for me and not the person he first portrayed he was. I've been working a lot on healing myself this year, just getting my confidence and self-esteem back helped me a lot, after joining Matthew Hussey's Love Life Club programme. I am so grateful to be in it, his courses and coaching are amazing - not to mention Mathew Ai. Happy New Year to you - you deserve a loving, healthy, happy relationship. And a loving, healthy, happy 2025. I'm glad you still feel this is a safe space for you and well done on uni and discovering - or uncovering, more of your identity. Thank you for being here. 😍🥰

I agree so much if you’re still healing it’s not right to just drag me into the situation. But I’m glad you’ve been working on healing. Do you have any advice for healing from the trauma he put on me?

@@violet1716 Hi Violet, I have so much advice about this, that I've decided it would be best to answer your question in a live stream, so everyone can benefit from the answer. I will be doing this stream very soon tonight.

@@violet1716 Here is the stream I did to answer your question kzbin.infontMJcyYWyhg?si=Z7MS0q0ib9oLwcCV

Thank you so much xx

@bingbong-l9z thank you. 😊 It's been and still currently is, so stressful. Not to mention shocking, as the gas leak, and subsequent gas boiler electrics blow up with carbon monoxide leak today, are things which could have potentially killed me. They have to get planning permission to put scaffolding on the roof, before they can get up into it, to install a new flute and boiler. The letting agency has loaned me 3 electric heaters until they can get me a new boiler, as I have no heating or hot water whatsoever now. I'm just glad I'm alive!

I've reported them to KZbin and going to see if they do anything about it.

Thanks you so much. I appreciate your kind comment and support xx

Thanks 🤩will tell Millie.

If you're talking about Leon - rather than Liam, Leon is happy with his asexual wife. Especially, as he has revealed in comments before, that he has a problem with performing, so he loves the fact his wife doesn't need that from him and is asexual.

@AsexualiseMyAsexualLife idk. Sounds like he's insecure, and instead of realizing that he deserves someone to build himself up, he's doubling down on his fear of ending up alone. I just hope he doesn't wake up one day and realize he's wasted his life with someone who made him feel like it's wrong for him to put physical affection as a priority.

​Sex isn't love or the main foundation of a healthy relationship. He is a grown man who can decide for himself what is good for him and many women wouldn't want to be with someone who can't perform in the bedroom and / or has impotency problems. People who are impotent (there are a number of them) deserve to be loved and in a loving relationship and be accepted for who they are, just as much as anyone else, by someone who doesn't need that from them and won't put pressure on them to do that or go off with someone else - which is what he knows, from what he said, he is lucky to find. Regardless of that, the fact you think he deserves someone better just because he is with an asexual person, is not good. You're basically saying asexuals are worthless in relationships and they are bad people if they don't want sex,. which isn't true. Some asexuals are physically affectionate without the sex. Sex isn't the same as being physically affectionate - it's only one form of physical intimacy that not everyone likes or needs. The fact you think being with an asexual person is depriving someone, rather than adding to their life, just because they are asexual is not good thinking and is discriminatory.

@AsexualiseMyAsexualLife While perhaps not the foundation, it is a pillar of a relationship. And while he is a grown man with the free will that entails, brushing off serial intimacy as selfishness is a misappropriation of the fact that instead of being able to communicate the way through their insecurities, someone is being made to feel that their needs aren't being fulfilled. Unless, of course, this couple has decided to open the relationship, which is a completely different bag of cats on why they shouldn't be together. While I don't know the nature of Leon's "poor performance," I do know that tue satisfaction you get from serial contact is different. Pleasuring the woman I'm with even when I don't have an immediate reciprocation fills a need. It floods my brain with feel-good chemistry that builds a closer bond with my partner. And it's a skill that takes communication to master. It's healthy for so many reasons. That's why it's a pillar. You're ready body language, verbal and nonverbal signals, breaking down your own insecurities, and showing that the other person is desirable in a physical way. That's important. Maybe not for an asexual person, but for a sexual man it is. And denial of that doesn't mean asexuals are worthless in relationships, but it does mean that people lacking that understanding are. Or maybe they should just rely on friendships instead of changing their relationship's sexual dynamic. Now, I'm going to touch on the discrimination part of your reply. Discrimination can be a good thing. I don't try and marry women identifying as lesbian. I can discriminate that they wouldn't be happy with me. And if my wife came out as way, I would be able to discriminate that I was no longer the person my wife wanted to be with and I'd move on. I could still be friends with her, but it would be wrong of me and her to waste each other's lives on an obvious incongruence. That would come from a place of love for her and myself. Perhaps this is the same. Perhaps he's asexual as well and is using performance to "come out" but honestly, I don't think that's true. He'll, maybe this is just "Mouse Utopia" playing out before us. I'm just trying to put a different perspective into the echo chamber.

Hi Karen - no, it's my mum and dad's dog, and I agree she is super cute - although not a puppy - she's a young looking 11 years old, and will appreciate the compliment. xx I bought her that ball for Christmas and she has been playing with it ever since.

Hi Darina, I haven't been on AVEN for a lot of months. It's very interesting what they allow and don't allow on their site. I'm sorry they refused that, especially when they allow sexuals on that site, not just asexuals. I've been told off a number of times for doing things on that site that others are allowed to do, and don't have to get permission for. Or even things that I was able to do before, but then wasn't allowed to do without asking permission every single time, and that becomes very time-consuming and restrictive. I have had to get permission for a lot of my last posts that I posted months ago, but I had a delay on getting one post out because circumstances changed, and then I got told off for posting it, stating the reason was I didn't get permission to post it. When I explained what had happened, and that I did get permission before, I got told I should have asked permission then, because it was some time ago since I got permission. It felt like i was 5 years old at school and being told off.

@AsexualiseMyAsexualLife can we do something about it? Can other LGBTIQA NGOs help us to have a subforum for childfree / sex repulsed / trans asexual people?

​@D_a_r_i_n_a-u5uI don't use any others. I don't personally feel like I need any support in being child free. I've never wanted kids since 15 years old and most people I converse with don't have kids, so this is just a normal part of everyday life for me. I try not to join many more groups these days, because I'm too busy to participate in them.

@AsexualiseMyAsexualLife happy about you. I really need it (support in being childfree). So, is Great Britain the best country for childfree asexual people? No discrimination in your country?

@D_a_r_i_n_a-u5u I can't say there is no discrimination as it's not something that crops up in everyday conversation for me. I wanted to be childfree way before I discovered I am asexual - so I don't usually end up talking about both at the same time, with people outside of this channel and the asexual community. Although I like to think the UK is liberal in it's thinking, I live in the South West part of the UK - so different parts of the country may vary too, but I don't think anyone cares about this with me much, unless a guy wants to dates me, it's not relevant to their life. I'm sorry your experiencing difficulties and no support with this.

Hi Darina, Happy Christmas - If you're talking about the balloon - I know what you mean. It was the closest to asexual colours i could get in a helium balloon at the time and I love the stars for the 1 Million views episode. 😍🤩

@@AsexualiseMyAsexualLife Congratulations:)

@D_a_r_i_n_a-u5u Thank you so much and thanks for your continued support here xx

@@AsexualiseMyAsexualLife childfree people should support each other, especially asexuals

@D_a_r_i_n_a-u5u Thank you. I do enjoy being child free. xx

@@DaSuTro this was our combined presents. I got my parents 15 presents each and they got me everything on my list this year - so I do feel very grateful and thankful for that. I gpt their dog Millie 4 presents this year - including the ball which she played with all day as much as she was allowed to, and even went to sleep with it, she loves it that much. Happy Christmas 🎄 💓

Thank you so much Jon. I appreciate your wishes and kindness about my toe.

Hi Emily, I am so very sorry to hear this. I know this must be an extremely painful time for you, even if it is what had to be done. I think you've been very brave and I commend you for doing a thing that was hard but seems right. I hope you will find someone more compatible for you. I wish your Christmas to still be as good as it can be. Virtual hugs xx

Great to hear you found this helpful to your own life journey and it's wonderful to have you here. Merry Christmas. I will be writing a book about how I got 1 million organic views. Made a start on writing some key points down for that. I still have a number of asexual books I need to finish in the new year - so will be focused on finishing those in the first part of the year. 😍

Awwww, thank you so much. I really appreciate that. When I was interviewed by Graham Torrington on BBC Radio - he and his assistant thought I had a good voice for radio. I used to be a volunteer hospital radio presenter, but it's been a while since I got complimented on my voice, so thank you for that. I just replied to your other comment and about to do a live film review of Wicked. Glad you love my channel. 💜

@ yes ma’am!

Thank you so much Clair. I appreciate that a lot. x

Yey! Glad you agree.

Of course, but it's always good to spend time taking in what's already been achieved for a while - to really let it sink in and feel proud.
