Keith: Hi, Lauren.... it was a great pleasure meeting you in person at the Trailblazer presentation in Baltimore, MD last week. This is Keith Robertson.... I know you met so many people and you probably forgot me already... lol lol. let me hear from you via email after you read my message. Have a great day!

Linda: Lauren, I wish you would make more vlogs, I miss them!

Linda: Lauren, I am hearing, have been reading all your vlogs for over a year... watching your clear, beautiful signing has really helped me improve my signing "skills" (?) - I am self-taught, so that I can communicate with a woman I became close friends with a few years ago...Thank you for keeping the captions! One tip on the biodiesel fuel - a man in our rural area makes his own fuel and he goes to a local restaurant and takes away BARRELS of used cooking oil for free. The restaurant PAYS a company $500 every few months to haul away the oil, so they are happy to GIVE it away!

Ashleigh: what a very intresting vlog.... very clear sign and could use the idea for my new car!!! THANKSSS

Yuko: We enjoyed your biodiesel segment. However, I think it is the oil filter to be concerned about. The fuel filter filters incoming fuel to the engine. The oil filter continuously filters oil as it is circulated through the engine....collecting gunk as the engine runs cleaner.

Michelle: Very interesting article!
