When my hubby was out of work and i was working part time , i donated plasma for gas and food money. And used food banks. Sorry I’m a mom. Its in my nature to give advice. Thank you for showing your life and its struggles. Big hugs! I wish you the best.
My family swears by donating plasma scraping cars getting gold off computer boards the whole 9 we were taught to pick up change even in parking lots etc Oh how I wish I would've listened I thought I was above and tried to live like other folks I now need to be humble and learn 🙏 getting back to what I was taught
Cheap healthy meals that you can get at DOLLAR store no cooking : 1 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, 2 tuna , mayo & tortilla wraps 3 can chicken, mayo & bread. Snack : Get some water ,potato chips , pudding, can opener, Fruit cups, veggie. breakfast : oatmeal add hot water , grits add hot water , cereal with powdered milk or shelf stable milk.
@@sarahpierson6937 you can put a small can of meat in the ramen noodles & add veggies on side or in it. I often put canned chicken, or keystone beef small can of baked beans. You can make it more filling. It’s not nutritious but when poor with little money your concern is eating versus going hungry
Hey, I haven't even started watching your first video but I've been reading the wonderful comments. My unsolicited advice based on personal experience is you might consider volunteering a food bank. Volunteering opens doors for employment potentially and when you volunteer there's always extras I.e food extras! I was able to secure two temporary term positions with them and it provided me with excellent references for future employment. I was a single mom and I am a single mom again. I'm been welfare/pwd for years and I know what it's like to have a tight budget. And now I'll get to watching your video! Sending you perseverance!
I'[m retired so I don't need employment. However, I did volunteer at a homeless shelter and some of the other volunteers now have paying jobs working with the homeless that they obtained through their volunteer work
I just saw your video thanks to the RUclips algorithm. I feel for you man. Although I’m a senior citizen, I’m on Social Security, and can barely afford to buy food after paying for my prescriptions every month. Take good care of yourself while you’re young so when you get older, your body will not need so much help. No one told me this when I was young, so I must give you those words of wisdom. Right now I live in a trailer and need a van that I can stand up in. I’m looking at a Ram Promaster right now and pray to the Lord God to help me get it. Take care. I’m going to subscribe to keep track of you. According to my late father, You can’t beat a good Dodge down any day. Keep the maintenance up and your van will treat you right.
For fuel efficiency while cooking either put a lid on your pot so it comes to boil faster or get yourself a cheap kettle. Much more efficient in the end.
I second this. One of the best things is you should get more things that don’t need to be refrigerated than do. I used a food pantry in San Antonio, TX and they’re great at staples. It really helps to stretch food.
If there’s a foodlion around come ask us what we can do to help. We are all about donations and giving back. Early morning is the best time to come! Ask to speak to the store manager not the department managers.
I use the food pantries. It was hard at first, but then got to be fun. I also was shown how to make my own pizza from scratch with flour and yeast. Best pizza dough ever. No need for fancy toppings. Home made Balsamic vinegar drizzled over some food pantry veggies is good.
Living out of an ambulance myself, some things that have helped me tremendously are vacuum bags for storage, aluminum HVAC tape to sela up door gaps and buying butane cans for my stove from the asian grocery store. I get a 4 pack of butane for $5.29 there
@badboyhippi yeah Walmart doesn't stock it. Do you have any Asian grocery stores near you? H-mart is one that's pretty prominent, but just about any Vietnamese, Chinese or Thai grocery store should stock butane for super cheap
Bro, you have something here with youtube. In my opinion, you should start dropping videos damn near daily. You have a job right in your hand and a nice following with just a few videos. People love reality and this is a real as it gets 🫡
I agree, however, the gap between getting a good following and getting the watch-time hours necessary to monetize can be big. A job would get money in his pocket while he's getting the hours that he needs.
I agree totally I think we always come to see the van life first once they're established and they got all their money and their big RUclips channel this dude he's eating ramen trying to do some vacuuming he got no money for gas so even if it's not real this is a great channel he's showing us from the beginning of van life freaking genius
@SamuelsViewsLessLethal: I agree with you wholeheartedly. He definitely has editing skills. It takes time to build a channel. Slow and steady climb. As long as he believes in himself, maintains his thirst and hones his skills, he'll become one of those successful RUclipsrs. 😊
People can insta cart you groceries also get the name of the Walmart near you and see if I can order some for you to put up That I can do immediately ❤❤❤
I would strongly suggest going to food pantries. I went last week and ended up with enough to make meals for almost 2 weeks. Try to get some peanut butter to add to your ramen for added protein that is cheap. Unless your van gets good mpg I would stay away from doing Doordash. Check with temp agencies near you to see if there are any that pay you the same day you work. I pray you aren't in an area where the storm is hitting. Looking forward to seeing more of your content. Stay safe!
You can make filling flat breads with just flour, a little bit of water and salt. I can send you a quick recipe if you want. It only takes like 5 min to make it helped me when I was low on money to make a hearty meal.
If it ever drives you nuts.... there is a mute button for the gas pumps. It is usually the second button down from the top on the right hand side on the screen that is yellin' at you. I hate talking pump stations, I was totally trying to think my own thoughts thank you. Love your energy. Keep your sanity.
Look for work anywhere now. Once you get something, try applying at lowes, home depot or any hardware store if there are any in the area. That way you can get discounts on building out your van with a kitchen and heating system. Those employers may let you stay in the parking lot. One step at a time......just survive.
you should do the dumpster diving thing .. many stores throw food away that is still good and it saves on a budget and you wont go hungry plus you find many other things besides food.. watch some of the youtube dumpster diving videos .. hope this helps. Remember God always provides !!!
My husband and I lived like this for a few months before getting married but we didn’t have your set up. We just had 2 sleeping pads on the floor with some pillows and sleeping bags. We slept in the forests and mountains. Every morning was a different view while are breakfast. Van live with little to no money was honestly some of the best times of my life. Thanks for sharing your journey brother! Thanks for being authentic and real 🙏
This showed up in my YT algorithm. I was a single mom of 3. Pasta, fresh potatoes and dried potato flakes (instant) canned veggies and rice (instant) were in my pantry always as back up. Also food pantries. Couldn’t of made it at times without them.
There is supposed to be a winter storm. I'm not sure if you are in the path of it. I will send money to help probably by Sunday. Just hunker down and try to stay warm.
U better stop playing as long as you got legs a phone and a mind u never suppose to be broke shovel snow rake leaves pump gas for 1$ grind my brother grind
get a bag of potatoes and have some oil as a single mother when the kids were little and I had to make stuff last i always got potatoes and hot does nothing like fried potatoes and onions to fill you up
Get a folding chair to sit on set the table up and cook comfortably. Look at van life videos for some ideas you may want to incorporate into your space
You can go to food banks. Different churches. They'll help you out with food. Also I look at channels where some people even dumpster dive. They have good food and you know just an idea.
@@clairendege Wouldn't it be easier to get a part time job to save up a bit on the side as well as getting donations? I saw the gas station he went to was hiring.
@@PippinOtterOne would think. Then again, visible donations on this video total around $80. I’d imagine private donations are decent It’s likely more lucrative to look cold than look for work. My man wants to be Kai Cenet, this is the avenue he’s taking. It will fail.
If you need to access the local food banks or other resources for food, this could be a video subject around how to find and access food where people are. Another video could focus on how to cook with what you are given, as you never know what you will get.
Just found this video so I’m new to your story. My heart ❤️ goes out to you! You’re going through this struggling time with wonderful hopes for a better future and you’re doing it with such grace. You really move people. Don’t lose your heart because it’s what makes you - YOU! I need to see your other videos & get to know you. I think you’re wonderful & if I am ever able to scrape a little money together, you are a person I will help. Love your spirit! Stay strong!
Just came across your channel and instantly subscribed. Keep in mind everything is temporary and you never know when things can change for better . I’ve been in a similar situation ,so yes I remember the struggle.
Lots of good advice here in these comments. Food delivery like door dash is a SURE way to get some coins for gas and food. I did it for a while and it kept me afloat. ✌🏻❤️🤙🏻
Yes, and you know what, you're lucky that it's allowed in the States! I was going to do something like that but it's not encouraged here - understatement - and now Uber Eats is the last company that has switched to it needing to be steady employment.
When you go by fast food places just grab a few condiments utensils ans napkins. I know the feeling and everything helps! Also see about philabundance or food pantries to get some staples
McDonald’s is always hiring and you get free food 😊 If you keep running that van on empty it will ruin your fuel pump . And that’s expensive to fix . Save and drink the juice from that ramen , it’s broth and it will keep you warm . Stay positive!
I hate being broke!!! I live paycheck to paycheck. I need to do renovations to my home but I cant afford it without using equity from my home which defeats the purpose. So I understand that you are in survival mode and I PRAY U are able to get a tax return or something that will allow to fix up your van and get clean affordable housing.
I'm a senior on fixed income but maybe this will help a little. Keep your head up darlin'. Sending love and light and positive vibes from Northern Arizona 😁
Dude ur doing it! Ive had the same idea for year's. Get you a solar set up going an youll be golden, with like 3 of them 200ah agm batterys an a 2k pure sine wave inverter an youll be able to run ur entertainment like a bedroom. And you having a newer model an easier to work on and alot less stress. Have you a box fan an tv or laptop an whatnot. Wont ever have to plug in. The get you a back tow rack to put ur watter supply an boom. Put you in a lil mechanical sink an then you can even have running drinkin water on the go. Heck yea though ur killin it man , thats awesome to see
Its getting cold out there friend😊 wrap up and park that thang somewhere, food and gas is your main focus❤ goodwill,the,shelters,and the food pantry is looking for workers even if its parttime just jump on some friend,and keep posting on youtube.You are important and I love you wish you blessings upon blessings with an shot of good health.stay warm friend😊stock up on some already boiled eggs the limits is unlimited 😅see you next time 🤗
If youre delivering food, that's a great time to grab a few condiments. Running your van for heat is inefficient; Consider a microclimate within the van to contain produced warmth. Dumping hot water into a bottle VS the ground can keep your sleeping bag, coat warm. A lid on your pot and a windscreen conserves cooking fuel.
Stop running your engine for cab heat. Buy a Chinese diesel heater; a little over $100.00 and you can DIY install it. You will be able to maintain comfortable warmth 24/7 in your van for approximately $3/day. Also saves wear and tear on your van engine. The diesel heater only uses a small amount of battery current. Eventually you can add a LiFePo battery and a solar panel to your setup. I'll subscribe to view your channel. Good luck to you on your journey.
My kids when they were in university went dumpster diving one night. They came back with 6-7 baguettes baked that day. Cauliflower, carrots, all Kinds of bakery goods yoghurt and I can’t remember what all any more. But my counter top was FULL. All fresh food. Nothing mouldy ir even stale. Far from it being embarrassing to be the diver, the store should be made to feel Embarrassed to have thrown the stuff out. It should be illegal
You can always get eggs or sausages to put in those pack soups bro, for protein. They good, but they not nutricious, so even though you eat a pack or two, you won't have any energy to work if you find one. Protein helps bulk up and also helps to fend off the cold. Even peanut butter is a good source of protein. Great for hard times. Protein, great for building muscles, fending off the cold and also a great form of getting iron to build blood cells .
Love your channel shows real life struggles in living in a van wish you all the luck God bless you hang in there the Lord will provide he is in control...looking forward to next video 🙏
I hope you can head someplace warmer, if you could get gas money together, head to Quartzite AZ.... I LOVE that rug in your van, where did you get it???
Yes vaccuming is the best, in addition i started using an old fashioned bissel brush. It has the same bissels as a cheap broom but in a handheld model. I really like having one tucked away and you can clean anytime anywhere.
You pop up in my feed but this is the first time I’ve stopped to watch a video I’m supporting in any way I can I just subscribe to your channel all ads and 👍up💯🙏GOD bless young king
Definitely a great channel,,its reality for so so many.I love that you show the reality of day to day life when you are getting on you feet and pinching pennies like alot of people.GREAT CHANNELKEEP GOING BROTHER....YOU GOT THIS
I live out of a 2005 ford e350 econoline van. My heat source is an Olympian Wav3 propane heater. It can be hung on the wall or install legs for it to sit on the floor. It's a great little heater that can run on low safely all night. And grocery stores mark down close date items early in the morning so you can get stuff half price or cheaper.
Looking for the video and budget meals, but want to share my favorite budget meal first. i like the Michelina's alfredo chicken and broccoli for a dollar. The way to make this better is to add garlic, cheese, butter, and a dollar packet of chicken. if I really want to make it filling, I add extra broccoli also. It's not exactly a dollar, but feels like a feast for a king.
Lose the tinted glasses. You look just fine without tinted frames. When you get enough cash get some without such a strong tint. You're actually very handsome
tuna packs they are like a dollar change but spicy tuna recipe of mine is one tuna pack two table spoons of mayo teaspoon of hoisin sauce tea spoon of soy sauce and wasabi to taste that over warm rice is a great meal and if you got some sea weed sheets you in heaven
Hey fellow van lifer. On a budget potatoes fried with lentils and beans is a good meal for filling up on calories. Large bag of potatoes will last a little bit and healthier. Good luck friend
Careful with this winter storm i can see you're in midwest. Stay warm! Also the storage drawers you can just take them apart and might be able to fit 2 if the drawers under there. It's easy to find those drawers in ppls trash days i always grab them
Im new to your channel. I like to watch people how they manage to live in cars, campers, trailers to various living accommodations due to the rent crisis going on. I hope to see you make new vids again this could be your new career as a RUclipsr
I just found your channel you should get a windscreen repair kit there only a few dollars on Temu I live in my van & I use powdered milk I drink Tang & I buy dehydrated vegetables with a large bag of rice I have cornflakes for breakfast you can put dehydrated vegetables into the noodles too hi from Australia 🇦🇺
Lunch meat, bread, cheese, kool aid mircale whip and chips, chilli beans and cornbread, hamburger helper, grits,oatmeal, popcorn kernals. Some meals that stretch, bean and cheese burritos..collect cans, bottles to recycle 10-20 bucks for food.
Just found your channel. Thank you for sharing your life and being real about it. I hope your channel will takeoff, and you can reap the benefits. God bless.
Get a job, gym membership, PO Box, collect cans to keep gas in your car or do door dash. Work and get those windows fixed. See if you can enroll in college and get finamcial aid
I agree! But folks are so gullible they just send money without knowing what's truly going on many people take advantage of this RUclips stuff posting videos about how they are living in a van when they have a home, his clothes don't look like someone who's that broke and down on his luck as he's saying....🤗
Bro get you a library card you can use all the facilities Internet, bathroom, have movies, work stations also they post small day labor jobs for cash sometimes.
Good luck! Ramen, noodles and pasta are filling. As a student I used to have noodles with baked beans, flavour with some protein at the very least. It's strange watching from the UK, that crack in the windscreen (wind shield) would be an instant MOT fail and put the vehicle off the road.
And you can make a good soup from some potatoes, carrots and such. Maybe add some sausages. Cooking enough for about three days doesn’t take longer than for one.
A spoonful of peanut butter in your ramen will help with protein intake I sometimes load my noodles up with onions carrots mayo soy sauce oyster sauce a little soy milk or coconut milk and or rotisserie chicken

add rice and beans and cornbread. they hit the spot, rich or broke

I hate being broke!!! I live paycheck to paycheck. I need to do renovations to my home but I cant afford it without using equity from my home which defeats the purpose. So I understand that you are in survival mode and I PRAY U are able to get a tax return or something that will allow to fix up your van and get clean affordable housing.
I disagree living in a van is much cheaper and less stressful
Im in same boat as you....rotten credit on top and no heat for a cold winter. Space heater keeps me from freezing to death
I'm a senior on fixed income but maybe this will help a little. Keep your head up darlin'. Sending love and light and positive vibes from Northern Arizona 😁
Thank you so much!
Dude ur doing it! Ive had the same idea for year's. Get you a solar set up going an youll be golden, with like 3 of them 200ah agm batterys an a 2k pure sine wave inverter an youll be able to run ur entertainment like a bedroom. And you having a newer model an easier to work on and alot less stress. Have you a box fan an tv or laptop an whatnot. Wont ever have to plug in. The get you a back tow rack to put ur watter supply an boom. Put you in a lil mechanical sink an then you can even have running drinkin water on the go. Heck yea though ur killin it man , thats awesome to see
Take care, stay warm! God bless.
Thank you!❤️
Get a storage unit... 5x7. It will help tremendously. Gym membership for showers and a job. Temp services for daily pay, if nothing else.
Its getting cold out there friend😊 wrap up and park that thang somewhere, food and gas is your main focus❤ goodwill,the,shelters,and the food pantry is looking for workers even if its parttime just jump on some friend,and keep posting on youtube.You are important and I love you wish you blessings upon blessings with an shot of good health.stay warm friend😊stock up on some already boiled eggs the limits is unlimited 😅see you next time 🤗
If youre delivering food, that's a great time to grab a few condiments.
Running your van for heat is inefficient; Consider a microclimate within the van to contain produced warmth.
Dumping hot water into a bottle VS the ground can keep your sleeping bag, coat warm.
A lid on your pot and a windscreen conserves cooking fuel.
Thanks
Thank you!❤️
Stop running your engine for cab heat. Buy a Chinese diesel heater; a little over $100.00 and you can DIY install it. You will be able to maintain comfortable warmth 24/7 in your van for approximately $3/day. Also saves wear and tear on your van engine. The diesel heater only uses a small amount of battery current. Eventually you can add a LiFePo battery and a solar panel to your setup. I'll subscribe to view your channel. Good luck to you on your journey.
Dumpster diving for few vegetables, had that with eggs (when you can) to your noodles. 👍
My kids when they were in university went dumpster diving one night. They came back with 6-7 baguettes baked that day. Cauliflower, carrots, all
Kinds of bakery goods yoghurt and I can’t remember what all any more. But my counter top was FULL. All fresh food. Nothing mouldy ir even stale. Far from it being embarrassing to be the diver, the store should be made to feel
Embarrassed to have thrown the stuff out. It should be illegal
You can always get eggs or sausages to put in those pack soups bro, for protein. They good, but they not nutricious, so even though you eat a pack or two, you won't have any energy to work if you find one. Protein helps bulk up and also helps to fend off the cold. Even peanut butter is a good source of protein. Great for hard times. Protein, great for building muscles, fending off the cold and also a great form of getting iron to build blood cells .
Love your channel shows real life struggles in living in a van wish you all the luck God bless you hang in there the Lord will provide he is in control...looking forward to next video 🙏
Keep working - you will get there.
I hope you can head someplace warmer, if you could get gas money together, head to Quartzite AZ.... I LOVE that rug in your van, where did you get it???
Love the realness King. Your blessing is coming..🤟🏽
Yes vaccuming is the best, in addition i started using an old fashioned bissel brush. It has the same bissels as a cheap broom but in a handheld model. I really like having one tucked away and you can clean anytime anywhere.
What doesn't breaks you, makes you strong! Trust me, you are learning real lessons in life! But, in future you will be very proud of yourself.
You pop up in my feed but this is the first time I’ve stopped to watch a video I’m supporting in any way I can I just subscribe to your channel all ads and 👍up💯🙏GOD bless young king
Yo Hippi ! You’re showing real van life, thanks!
Definitely a great channel,,its reality for so so many.I love that you show the reality of day to day life when you are getting on you feet and pinching pennies like alot of people.GREAT CHANNELKEEP GOING BROTHER....YOU GOT THIS

I live out of a 2005 ford e350 econoline van. My heat source is an Olympian Wav3 propane heater. It can be hung on the wall or install legs for it to sit on the floor. It's a great little heater that can run on low safely all night. And grocery stores mark down close date items early in the morning so you can get stuff half price or cheaper.
Keeping it real. I love it. Watching you clean got me motivated to clean. Thank you!
Some.dollar trees have a frozen section you can even get meat like sausages and a chicken breast's if they have in your area.
Looking for the video and budget meals, but want to share my favorite budget meal first.
i like the Michelina's alfredo chicken and broccoli for a dollar.
The way to make this better is to add garlic, cheese, butter, and a dollar packet of chicken.
if I really want to make it filling, I add extra broccoli also.
It's not exactly a dollar, but feels like a feast for a king.
They have oat meal, cereal in a cup and the mashed potatoes that is a dollar at Walmart stock up on them with the noodles.
God bless you son just know I'm praying for you to be blessed abundantly right here on RUclips ❤🙏
Lose the tinted glasses. You look just fine without tinted frames. When you get enough cash get some without such a strong tint. You're actually very handsome
I think I'm going to subscribe just to see when he is comfortable enough to speak in front of the camera without his tinted glasses on. 😊
I think the glasses look cool
tuna packs they are like a dollar change but spicy tuna recipe of mine is one tuna pack two table spoons of mayo teaspoon of hoisin sauce tea spoon of soy sauce and wasabi to taste that over warm rice is a great meal and if you got some sea weed sheets you in heaven
Hey fellow van lifer. On a budget potatoes fried with lentils and beans is a good meal for filling up on calories. Large bag of potatoes will last a little bit and healthier. Good luck friend
Also usps is hiring nationwide for mail carriers.
Careful with this winter storm i can see you're in midwest. Stay warm!
Also the storage drawers you can just take them apart and might be able to fit 2 if the drawers under there. It's easy to find those drawers in ppls trash days i always grab them
I had a 2009 Honda odyssey i stacked mine i think 4 or 5 high and then another 4 in the back
You are a survivor ! Stay positive ! Stay strong ! You have got this ! Ain't nothing to it but to do it ! God bless . ✌️💖🖖
Im new to your channel. I like to watch people how they manage to live in cars, campers, trailers to various living accommodations due to the rent crisis going on. I hope to see you make new vids again this could be your new career as a RUclipsr
Maybe the Dollar Store for canned chili, tuna, spaghetti etc could give you at least some variety (?) God bless!
I just found your channel you should get a windscreen repair kit there only a few dollars on Temu I live in my van & I use powdered milk I drink Tang & I buy dehydrated vegetables with a large bag of rice I have cornflakes for breakfast you can put dehydrated vegetables into the noodles too hi from Australia 🇦🇺
He needs a new windshield as it can blow out once it's more than halfway across.
Commenting for the algorithm. I hope to see your channel grow!
Lunch meat, bread, cheese, kool aid mircale whip and chips, chilli beans and cornbread, hamburger helper, grits,oatmeal, popcorn kernals. Some meals that stretch, bean and cheese burritos..collect cans, bottles to recycle 10-20 bucks for food.
You are right. I had a grocery haul earlier this month, just ran out of the good food.
@@badboyhippi Check out your local food bank.
Instead of Hamburger Helper, a box of Mac and Cheese is cheaper . Add tuna or chicken or veges or beans. Great ideas followers. Blessings to all.

Too Good to Go. Stay blessed!
Just found your channel. Thank you for sharing your life and being real about it. I hope your channel will takeoff, and you can reap the benefits. God bless.
i like this, very real, and your recording style is cozy
Proud of you! Here's to many blessings and a good job for better food. Love you. ❤️ New subscriber and love your channel... 🙏
Get a job, gym membership, PO Box, collect cans to keep gas in your car or do door dash. Work and get those windows fixed. See if you can enroll in college and get finamcial aid
I agree! But folks are so gullible they just send money without knowing what's truly going on many people take advantage of this RUclips stuff posting videos about how they are living in a van when they have a home, his clothes don't look like someone who's that broke and down on his luck as he's saying....🤗
Literally, about everybody used to have an indoor house or room to live (INSIDE) in the 1960's and 1970's .
Careful moving the camera while videoing 😍. It makes us dizzy a lot. Very inspiring and getting more organized !🚘✌🏾👋
Find you some food banks..I’ve had to go to them before myself
You are so likeable!! I'm bout to binge watch all your videos
Bro get you a library card you can use all the facilities Internet, bathroom, have movies, work stations also they post small day labor jobs for cash sometimes.
Stay safe out there, waiting on your next video💕
Good luck! Ramen, noodles and pasta are filling. As a student I used to have noodles with baked beans, flavour with some protein at the very least.
It's strange watching from the UK, that crack in the windscreen (wind shield) would be an instant MOT fail and put the vehicle off the road.
Respect from the UK. Stay safe.
Authentic to the core. Just how I like it.
You will get there with everything you need and I hope quickly it comes
Just found you and subscribed! I pray for better days ahead, God bless you.🙏🏻
I wish you much success and I believe you will get there young man.
Like watching myself in 2016 living in my van , still had some great time along with the bad , good luck bud
When you get money try to buy food staples in bulk. Dude you also need protein and fresh vegetables and fruit.
And you can make a good soup from some potatoes, carrots and such. Maybe add some sausages. Cooking enough for about three days doesn’t take longer than for one.
The gas station had a big hiring sign on the window .. did you apply?
A spoonful of peanut butter in your ramen will help with protein intake I sometimes load my noodles up with onions carrots mayo soy sauce oyster sauce a little soy milk or coconut milk and or rotisserie chicken
Oh my that sounds like a blow out to me ! Lol ......
Keep pressing keep posting and most of all keep praying ❤
