daily life: testing the wii and then no more tv

[@breafkast]

Welcome to the **VLOG** We are excited to make some changes for February, first and foremost being putting our TVs in the garage and choosing to spend our time doing more mentally and physically beneficial things! We loved bringing you all along as we donated, tested the Nintendo Wii we recently found, went to the library, and went for a nature walk. We hope you enjoy this little day-in-the-life style video and we can’t wait to see you again soon. Thanks for watching! x Kelly, Alex, and Bones

[@farihasiddiqui]

Mental health us very important

[@lyndsaysrebornnurseryoffib4241]

I couldn’t live without my tv shows! I mostly watched them on my iPad anyways! I been trying to read more and do crafts more! I’m reading prairie boy by Dean Butler

[@lisasharinglifestorieswith4182]

Kelly is it always warm even in the winter in Texas

[@juneyshu6197]

Sometimes tv is good when youve just had enough of everything! We watch only you tube and documentary and nature stuff, relaxing stuff. Best of luck.

[@23angelpie]

Doea this mean no more videos?

[@scarymarytv]

Thank you so much for sharing with us what your plans are for February❤ I think it's a great idea❤ I love when couples are in sync like you and Alex❤ it's important to follow your hearts and I love that

[@angelicarodriguez743]

THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR LIVES...❤❤❤

[@humannaki]

I've been watching you since you first began. I even remember Alex not very excited about the first couple dives too, rarely on camera. Now, he's a whole new guy, we see a comedic Alex now. It does a heart good to see your subscriber count grow in leaps and bounds. Keep up the salvaging work guys, you do a lot of good, from saving the landfills to helping out the animal and women's shelters. Hope your power bill/laundry, doesn't cost too much more. Sometimes it's shocking what you find. ✌

[@lorrie5422]

Awesome you donate to the free pantry!

[@dorothybrucale5784]

I remember those shorts that you are wearing. Lucky find, perfect fit. The two of you are so kind. Even with all the cutting back, you still buy for the pantry. A great couple!!!!

[@kimscreations3469]

Thank you for your wonderful videos 😊

[@yvonnecummings7664]

Hi guys I love what you do with the free pantry im just concerned that someone is being greedy and taking it all in one go and not letting others have some much need food xxxx maybe next time you could move off and park so you can see and see who takes it xxxxx❤❤❤❤

[@Mitzi_Sweet_Creations]

That was exactly my thought. Hopefully its not just one person taking everything 😢

[@janicejac4317]

@@yvonnecummings7664 agree

[@sheilag.3684]

We have one of them and some guy was watching it and every ime someone filled it up, he went and took everything and tried to sell it or return it to the store. He would even take the personal items like pads and tampons and diapers people would put in it. They finally had to put a camera on it.

[@dianep3071]

People like that pisses me off ​@@sheilag.3684

[@gracerudy5965]

I seen that happen on grab it fast big pantry he filled it up there were people there that even helped him put things in but when he went back they really took more then they should have sad now he just leave a little at a time

[@CelesteMeyer-dw5zg]

Well, I swear to God, you're a match made in heaven. Everything you do is always for the better and for the good of man kind and woman came. You just are too amazing. Wonderful people love. Watch me have a wonderful TV free day.

[@pattympaine]

Thank you for all you do!

[@almafrisius7358]

Wow, thank you for helping them out. You're awesome. ❤😊

[@breafkast]

Thank you SO much for your generous gift!! We really appreciate it and hope you have a wonderful day!

[@marioncottell7285]

Taking a walk is WONDERFUL for your mental health ❤. So proud of you 😊💕🇨🇦

[@breafkast]

Thank you so much, that means a lot

[@CloverPurse]

We reconfigured our living room last month to not center around the tv and have been loving it. I enjoy this video style from you both.

[@juneyshu6197]

Nice

[@breafkast]

That's awesome! We're excited about the change, i'm glad you're enjoying the way you restructured your living room! Thank you watching!

[@lovebeaches4255]

Wait a second, this was posted 30 minutes ago and there are already 381 likes? Wow, you guys are getting so popular! I love it. Kelly, those wet dumpster shorts fit you perfectly and they look great on you.

[@breafkast]

Thank you we love this community so much!! And i'm really happy the shorts fit, they're perfect!

[@timothyryan7234]

Hello folks, I like your white shirt that has Bobby from King of the Hill. It was a good cartoon at take care. God bless.

[@brendaputman929]

Randy Meisner was a founding member of the band The Eagles really popular from late 60's, 70's & 80's they are now considered classic rock. The Raiders were from the 60's they were rock, good artist. Evelyn "Champaign" King was more from the disco era, Chopin, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky classical piano composers Airto Moreira Brazilian jazz drummer, composer and percussionist and the rest I don't know. Meisner was founder and lead singer but was pushed out by Glen Frey and Don Henley other members Joe Walsh (Rocky Mountain Way), and Timothy B. Schmit all had a successful careers of their own after they broke as a group. Now you know who they are.

[@Ms._Purple_Apple]

The shorts look nice on you, they were meant to be for you. 👍⭐️

[@donnag9829]

My husband and I took our tvs out years ago! It’s a great thing!

[@robingage2855]

Very Encouraging! The things you are working on going to give you a big lift! ❤❤

[@rebeccajohnson5649]

Great job you are doing. To take care of yourself and your mental health and how all over health is important

[@lorrainekeith5679]

You are good people.I enjoy following your trips to the free pantry, it sure highlights the need for it,if all the goods were gone when you went back.Keep doing what you are doing.If I lived in the USA I would be diving too.

[@juneyshu6197]

Also with ptsd, watching videos helps me as I do work to think of other things. I work and watch!

[@susanward4944]

Bless you both for helping others with giving to the food pantry. Loved how Bones wanted to play the Wii. Great life challenge for you both. I need to do more walking and reading too. 📚 ❤

[@mr.bearandpokekid24]

The Bobby Hill shirt is cool.😃

[@breafkast]

Thank you, it's a favorite dumpster find for sure!

[@karen.bethel2337]

Hi Alex and Kelli! I'm retired and took up upcycling to fill my days. In the evening while watching tv I crochet items I give to family and friends. So I'm always creating something!

[@CynthiaHarmon-ys5up]

You too, keep your relationship open and do things together and keep your relationship fresh and new. Good idea to take a walk. I walk one hour a day myself. Love Bones getting into the boxes and trying to play Wii with you. Good idea giving back to the community with pantry.😊😊❤❤

[@breafkast]

That's wonderful!! I love that and I bet your friends and family feel so blessed to receive your upcycled items!

[@mab5602]

Kelly we wish you the best in dealing with your health. Many people including myself are also having to cope. But yes turning off TV is a good idea being that news is just filled with bad news and surly don't want to see that. I hope you are able to raise the funds to go on your much deserved trip - God bless you three +

[@farihasiddiqui]

Hi guy's! Looking forward to seeing u with the new changes. Mental health is very important

[@rozanidesignsmasquerade7050]

Interesting………No TV offers many options like you mentioned. I don’t miss it and it’s been 7 months for me. I can still get my news and weather plus movies, etc online, at my own leisure. I believe that during these expensive times, we should begin saving up wherever possible financially with food and recreation. It’s nice to see the difference your contributions have made to the food pantry. Cool that the Wii works. 👍 I’ll be looking forward to seeing your future video projects. Have a great evening, y’all❣️😍

[@annpickle3817]

I wouldn't go too far by myself things are not safe like they used to be hopefully you got some protection of you. I'm 70 years old woman and I worry about you all been out by your self ❤

[@DomesticDivaXO]

You called the records, Cd's. 😜

[@juneyshu6197]

😂

[@breafkast]

Hahah did I really?? Oh gosh LOL

[@ginataylor761]

Need a sign on the little pantry telling people to limit what they take, think of others in need. I enjoy your videos & vlogs. Bones is so Sweet!

[@maileiakealoha5775]

I know or hope you mean well. But it's not really your business to suggest that people need to be limited to what they are allowed to take, hungry is hungry after all

[@lucyking7661]

"NO SCREENS"! 😂

[@catherinewhitman8333]

Hopefully one person didn't take all that food ..so that others got what they needed too! 😊

[@kathleenj1158]

I really appreciate how you show your visits to the little pantry & the donation centers. This informs, educates, inspires & motivates a lot of us re: ways that we can do good & be a productive member of our communities. You guys are so amazing. 🥰❤️🫶

[@buffalodeb4495]

As a senior, I get commodity food. Some of the food is pasta and sauce. We take what we don't eat to a little free panty. As for the open space, get a tall fish tank. Bones can watch the fish.😅 ❤ to you all, and a walk is aways great.

[@susanbotha]

Hi Sweeties. Sooooooo glad you post more. I thoroughly enjoy it. Sty safe and enjoy. Love Granny Sue xxx

[@billa9298]

Lucky you. Still 30 degrees and snow in the ground here in Michigan

[@MaggieReeves-up8pp]

I am appreciating taking y'alls tv's out for the month..frankly I have never owned a television at my 80 years..I think I deserve a little bit of credit..

[@juneyshu6197]

Yay,blessings❤‼😄

[@cherylross2718]

I love Hemingway, it was great seeing his home in Key West with all the Hemingway cats hanging out. I live in Toronto, Canada, he lived here from 1920-1924, his first child was born here, and his first two novels penned here. Places he lived in here are still standing and have brass placks on them.

[@dianep3071]

Awe the shorts look cute on you

[@marmstrong393]

LOVE your channel and you both! WE are going on 5 years now without TV. WE get so much more done and we can get any news on the web if we choose. Go for it!

[@breafkast]

That is So awesome! I'm really looking forward to gaining the time back without the easy distraction. Thanks for the encouragement!

[@patsams5497]

Stay positive you are stronger than you think 😊love your channel

[@cerisewilson4088]

Love the Bobby Hill shirt!

[@janraffaele7052]

I don't think you'll miss the TV, I haven't had TV for 9 years . I don't miss it at all 😊

[@breafkast]

That's awesome!! Thank you for the encouragement! :)

[@Coffeecup.0110]

No TV will leave you more time for playing Beanboozle. 😂

[@breafkast]

Hahah!!

[@suhabitohon2793]

We had a cat named Obie, ( ‘coz he looked like Obie Wan Kenobi from Star Wars when he was a kitten), that used to crawl into my purse when I was at the table. We had him for about 17 years.

[@breafkast]

Aww he sounds like such a sweetheart!

[@CynthiaHeidt]

Can you grow mint where you live. Add to water in fridge for refreshing drink. Mint grows like weed here. Also fruits in season good in water, like watermelon, cucumber, etc

[@Dawn_sunflower]

I really enjoyed this blog. I love the dumpster videos, but this was a nice chance to get to know you better.

[@robingage2855]

Centrally located in front of the fireplace will be beautiful. Maybe even a tad closer. Do you have fires in it or the fake fires are even pretty. Totally relaxes the mind! Enjoy!

[@breafkast]

It is a working fireplace, but we haven't had it cleaned or checked out since we moved in... so we haven't ever used it. I would LOVE to be able to have fires in it, though!

[@jeaneterrell3669]

We have several blessings boxes around town here in South West Missouri that get filled. Unfortunately we have on in town that a neighbor who watches it get filled goes and takes everything and hardly leaves anything for anyone else.

[@Eva-Eva1010]

I think you're on the right track 🛤

[@BettyBauman-q5q]

Very nice to spend a few more dollars for the pantry

[@lucyking7661]

Awe Bones playin WII

[@ElizabethLowe-n7e]

31 here today, after almost record in the 50's yesterday. You are fun.

[@PhilomenaMccavanagh]

Love Ernest Hemingway my favorite book is The old man and the sea.Happy Reading 📚 from Ireland.

[@breafkast]

I really enjoyed that one by Hemingway, too!

[@pattiross-d9d]

i love the WII FITNESS both are so much fun to do

[@GailAdams-d3p]

Aussie here. I started my food store beginning of covid. Very happy I did, we had very long and restrictive lock downs. I still keep a stock of the things we use often. The uncertain world we live in atm makes it wise to keep at very least 3 or 4 weeks of food on hand.

[@TeresaMarino-m2u]

Enjoyed the video good ideas ya are talking about i barely watcg tv❤🎉🎉🎉😊

[@lucyking7661]

Great book selection ! I read Siddartha DECADES ago..life changing...enjoy❤

[@jenniferendres2063]

When you get your TV back up and running and your done with 1000 Years of solitude...Netflix did an adaptation of this novel and it is so interesting!

[@breafkast]

I can't wait to watch it!! I've heard it is really good :D

[@eileenrobbins8430]

Hi Kelly, I too suffer from depression and anxiety. I should start to feel better by March when the sun starts coming out more. I would love to have been able to go walking with you in the heat❤. It would make me feel so great. I'm glad you are making changes to try and change your thinking. Best of luck to you for feeling your very best❤. I love you so much ❤❤

[@debraelkins1930]

Hello Alex & Kelly, loving your blogs , oh those jellybean games are gross, those shorts are lovely on you Kelly 😊 Deb from Manchester U.K

[@billa9298]

You could also drop the stuff at the pantry on the way home . Same day and you don't have to handle the things several times

[@robinbewley9096]

what a great idea!.. i walk alot too..plz just be careful when out by yourself..i always carry a special something when i walk around by myself....

[@breafkast]

I bring pepper spray in my bag when I walk alone! And I typically wear large over the ear headphones, but on my walks I only wear the simple ones so I can better hear my surroundings. It's smart to stay safe!

[@alinagolovina1235]

definitely a piece of beautiful art or maybe a wall full of art instead of that tv and definitely couch centered around the fireplace. also those shorts look awesome!

[@bizzielizzie913]

Good afternoon!😊👍😻

[@maryannawilson7702]

I so miss the country. The only thing was I would have to carry a 22 because of the wild life but enjoy sitting somewhere and hear the animals and see what comes out.

[@tammybride1453]

Milk crates work good for records

[@debbietanner9172]

I love your outfit! Great find!❤ I love seeing you guys!

[@patriciarussell756]

The shorts look great on you kelly! Good luck with all the changes! 💓

[@DUMPSTERDIVINGADELAIDE123]

Good morning 😊

[@breafkast]

Thank you so much!!

[@patriciaevans1129]

When you find decent backpacks you can also put them in the food pantry ❤

[@mattbolieu8327]

God Bless both of you.

[@debbiewatchorn5199]

Instead of dismantling the TVs and removing them I would just take the remotes and put them in the garage so you can’t use the TVs. And give it a month and then you can decide whether you want to keep the TVs or not.❤

[@breafkast]

I think removing them entirely helps set the mood of the challenge better, because as we know.. out of sight, out of mind! But maybe in the future if we bring them back in we will consider keeping the remotes somewhere else to limit time watching. Thanks so much for watching!

[@alyda9954]

Honestly you two are the best. 💯 May you be blessed in other ways for your thoughtfulness and kindness. 😊 I'm ready for summer - haven't had much of a winter here in Gallup NM. Only 1 snowstorm before Thanksgiving and that's it. ❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing your idea for February.I remember you getting those shorts.😊 thank you for all the videos I enjoy them awe sweet bones 🐾🐈‍⬛❤ 🥰😃🇨🇦

[@Ms._Purple_Apple]

It’s nice to pick up library books, it’s free! Just have to make sure you don’t forget the return date or you’ll have overdue fees. Sometimes you can renew your books online. If there’s another hold on that book you might not be able to renew. Our library sometimes will renew the book(s).

[@breafkast]

Our library automatically renews that books and then gives you a couple weeks to return them once there is a hold - I believe during COVID they removed all fees for late items, too! We love the library, such a wonderful resource!

[@Ms._Purple_Apple]

@@breafkast yes they do the same here as well. You can even sign out DVD’s and video games for different gaming systems. I’m not a gamer, but my son use to sign out games.

[@1927su]

You guys are going on a fiscal fast of sorts, for the month of February! Good for you!

I watch everything from my phone. Loved the video and Bones. When I read my mind wonders. I have trouble with it since I was a kid.

[@charlenekociuba7396]

Kelly did you know that Epsom salt is great for your garden as it is Magnesium, an additive for cell growth. If you're putting in a veggie garden, you might like to look it up. Also save your egg shells, dry and then pulverize in blender. You can also put banana peels, all good I hope you do well as you are considering the needs and condition of others.

[@jackiehofershafer2783]

Truly enjoyed this video. Yes, we all need to walk away from technology and relax and enjoy reading, walking, talking, etc. Good luck on your new year adventure 😀

[@doloresrozman5612]

I think you have grown since I 1st. Started watching. SUGGESTION: When you have your YARD SALE, I know you want to help people, which is great, but you 2 put a lot of work into your KZbin CHANNEL And YARD SALE. DONT SELL ITEMS UNDER $1 OR $2 .00. It will help you with your trip/ vacation. Love you GUYS.

[@Europa1749]

Excellent idea on the no t.v. for a month. I did the same several years ago because of the endless promotions and commercials. It ended up being permanent. I much more enjoy KZbin ad free videos, Netflix on my tablet and great books. Seeing the savings at the end of low spend months makes them so worthwhile you want to do it again.

[@Jeandoesthings222]

You're so lucky to have found a way I wish I could find one

Randy Meisner was a great singer and bass player. He was in the Eagles and his most famous song is "Take It To The Limit", which he co-wrote and sang the lead. He passed away in 2023.
