And Doug, there's nowhere I wouldn't go to help someone customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual, even if it means sitting front row at a comedy show.

3:04Hey everyone, check out this guy and his bird. What is this your first day? Oh, no, we help people customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual together. We're married. Need a human, him to a bird. Yeah, the bird looks out of your league anyways. Only pay for what you need at Liberty Mutual.com. Liberty, Liberty, Liberty, Liberty! The bird is gone. The bird is gone, and the bird is gone. The bird is gone, and the bird is gone. What is the time? The bird is gone. And if you find a good way to build a plan to make sure you always find it. The bird is gone, and the bird is gone, and the difference in the modern time is the same. The bird is set to be set to be set to be able to set up the camera, and the bird's head is gone. The bird-live is ready.

4:04But it's time to be ready to take your car. Let's take the child together as a bird-live. No, we are not going to go out. We have to get rid of the optimism. Now I have to go out to the room, where the camera is looking for it. I will go out to the living room. The room is empty.

5:04The room is empty. I have to go out to the living room. After that, the 5. When you are ready to start making the assembly, massage the ornaments on the sides of the painting. It is necessary, if you need to be sure that the container's surface will be almost dry. I have done almost 80 times in a minute, but it is difficult to remove the excess. In other words, in my previous video, I was expected to be ready to make a painting or assembly with a brush.

6:07Because the maria and the maria and the maria did make it beautiful, there was such an idea and it was nice and beautiful! The maria was without any further clues, and there was no way for it was necessary for it. The poly-olule was not a real picture. The poly-olule was nice and beautiful. Let's take another listen. Listen closely to any parts you may have missed. Let's take another listen. Listen closely to any parts you may have missed. Spring in Tallinn had arrived. The sun was peeking through the clouds, and Karel and Marja stood on the rooftop of a high-rise building.

7:15What a view. Exclaimed Marja cheerfully. She nodded contentedly as the wind tried to towel her hair. Tallinn stretched out before them. It's red roofs and modern towers presenting a marvelous sight. Karel adjusted his camera, ready to capture the perfect panorama. Marja watched him. She knew Karel wanted to impress her with his pictures.

8:26Don't worry so much, whispered Marja, more to herself than to Karel. Just as Karel pressed the shutter, they heard a click behind them. The door to the roof had slammed shut. Marja looked Karel in the eyes. We're locked in. She said. Karel's heart started to beat faster. His phone was left in his bag, far down on another floor.

9:30Marja took a deep breath. Well, at least we have the view, she said cheerfully. Karel smirked at her optimism. Look, I have an idea, said Karel, as he took off his camera strap. He tied it into a flag. Marja watched with interest. Are you hoping to get someone's attention with that? She asked playfully.

10:37Karel stepped to the edge of the roof and waved his little flag toward the neighbouring skyscrapers. Just then they heard a buzzing sound. A large white drone was flying toward them. It's trying to take a picture of us, laughed Marja. The drone hovered above them and made a quick turn to get a better picture of them. Maybe someone will notice us. Said Karel.

11:40Marja sat down, taking a deep breath of spring air. It seemed like the drone operator understood what was happening. A few minutes later, a high altitude technician appeared at the rooftop door, looking briefly confused then smiled. Hello, I was sent a video that someone is in trouble. He said kindly and opened the door. As Marja and Karel headed back into the building, Marja whispered.

12:42See, it was a good idea to sit down and enjoy the view. Karel pondered for a moment and then burst out laughing. That day changed his perspective. It's not the perfect picture that matters. It's important to enjoy the moment and learn from the experiences. As he returned downstairs, Karel remembered how the day ended. It made him laugh.

13:46But it was Marja who first understood that the value of the day was not in the end result, but in the journey there. Today's vocabulary words are coming up right after this commercial break.

I'm an author and I'm an activist. And GoFundMe is my go-to platform for fundraising. The first GoFundMe I did was to raise money for a chat book or a collection of poetry and essays.

14:52So we started a GoFundMe and our goal was 7,000. What I've learned is so special about GoFundMe is that it's a whole collection of people offering anything from $4 to $400. And each time you get a ping that someone donated, even if it is just $4, it's so exciting. So if you have a goal and you get there, you can keep making it bigger and bigger and bigger. We did go past our goal. It was amazing. GoFundMe is the world's number one fundraising platform trusted by over 200 million people. Start your GoFundMe today at GoFundMe.com. That's GoFundMe.com.
