Warnings

For your own safety, do NOT post your home address in your YouTube description. This is an invitation for home burglaries. If you have a P.O. Box, post that instead. Also, limit personal information posted in the description (i.e. limit info to your just your first name, email, phone, and (if applicable) P.O. Box address.)
