@shoe.
i couldn’t understand you – there is an obvious sound problem.

Shoe,

I think I could ad lib what you are saying (carefully reading lips), but not sure how to proceed (precise action items/next steps).

Do you mind re-recording the sound so all of us fans, can also follow along.

Mr. Shoemoney, I believe your video is inoperable. It is not April Fools day either just so you know. I haven’t seen Mr. Shoemoney post any comment so maybe there is something wrong with the video and it will be fixed later. Either way, I saw the picture of Mr. Shoemoney in the video preview screen and that was enough to make me about $3000 over the last 3 hours. If you are someone who can’t figure out how to do it, then you’ve got some practicing to do.

Wow Jeremy,

Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!

You just made my day. I needed $1000 to pay of a mob boss I had been oweing and having had to spend my last dime on some learning ebooks I didn’t know where those $1000 bux would come from but now you have saved me from getting my legs broken.

This is the quickest, easiest $1000 bux I have ever made in my entire life.

Thank you and God bless you.
