    Some people just enjoy being mean. That’s a risk you take when you work on the internet. Just delete and block the nasties and go about your day. You’ll drive yourself crazy otherwise!

    Ok… I don't think I can say more, or differently, or less, etc that hasn't already been said here – because … Well, let us speak life to you, and Mikey, and Lou, and Addie and all of the Goode family. We love ya, kiddo. You definitely know where I stand.
    Take a break. Be where you need to be. Vent. Whatever it takes.
    Now, who do I need to go sit on until they change their negative attitude? I'm patient. I can sit for a long long time. 😉 <3 <3 <3

    One of my other favorite creators is a new YouTuber – he's taking a brave step and being vulnerable by bringing his own mental health issues to the front, that he was hesitant to even make a video AND show his creations to the world that allows him to manage his mental health.
    And, you know where my heart is with disabilities and mental health issues. 🙂

    Chris…….we all fall into that deep hole sometimes. Was a paramedic for most of my adult life. I have had people tell me they hoped my children died horrible deaths, that I was a terrible person and on ad nauseum. Even though it is hurtful and so unnecessary, just think how genuinely miserable their lives must be to act like that and live in their skin. You are always a ray of sunshine and I know you will remain so. Thank you.

    I do not understand why people feel the NEED to add their 2 cents on things that don't involve them. Like you said, some of them are trolls. I love your site and your Youtube channel. It's one that I refer a lot of people too. My brother went low carb and I sent him to your site for recipes and another few friends just got pressure cookers and I refer them to your site as well. It's super helpful so you just keep doing what you do!

    So many recipes saved to try. Yesterday, we had the "Taco Tater Tot Casserole." I started it, in my large Copper Chef pan, on my induction burner, then transferred the pan, into a 425°F. oven, for 25 minutes.
    Three adults and a three year old, all loved it.
    * I hand shredded some Amish, Walnut Creek, Ohio, Green Onion, Cheddar, that I had on hand, instead of using bagged Cheddar.

    Do not give the people who are negative your energy. Did what YOU do. You know what you do what you do. You cannot please everyone you know this already do not let nasty hate get you get you down. So if you find your self in that negative mood from not so kind people, pray for them. Take it in then go to the bathroom and have a good one on them. God Bless

    One great thing about You Tube is that you have a choice whether to watch something or not; and even better is that if you start watching and you are not satisfied with it, you don't have to continue. That being said, I enjoy watching your real life and the day to day trials and events that make up our everyday lives. I think it is great to see things work well and for plans to work great, but I also think it is great to see when there are little mishaps and events that shape who we are and how we handle things. Being from the Midwest also, I can relate to your cold weather and the changing of the seasons. I love to watch your travel tales and am always looking for another place we should visit through your travels. We all see different things and sometimes miss some of the best places to visit just because we weren't aware they even existed. I would hope that you keep sharing your travels with us. Your camping adventures are enjoyable to watch. We have camped for many years and in a much more primitive style than your "cow", but I can always find something that I draw from your experiences to incorporate into our camping trips. As for your cooking show, I love to watch and look for those new and different foods and recipes. We are also low carb and I like to see the way different people incorporate that aspect into their cooking. I rarely use my crockpot, mainly because working all day many of the recipe times just don't work, but I do use my Instant Pot and "borrow" your recipes to either do in the oven or in the Instant Pot. Keep up the good work! I appreciate you and your family and enjoy watching!

    I had intended to say things to you. Then I read the comments. It’s all been said by others. Listen to what they’re saying. However, there’s one thing that no one has mentioned. There are negative people in this world who spread their negativity to others. It has nothing to do with you. Nothing. It has to do with the way they feel and the need to strike out and hurt others. Somehow it makes them feel better. They will strike to anyone and everyone they can. It has nothing to do with who you are. You know who you are and 98% of comments and e-mails tell you who you are. Ignore those 2%. They’re sad people who aren’t worth anything but your pity.

    Haters are going to hate and trollers are going to troll. I love the channel. if a recipe goes bad, I figure what I did wrong, not you. I'm not low carb, but that does not stop me from trying your low carb dishes. I use my crockpots almost exclusively, so I don't watch the others, But watching your family is so much fun anyway! I enjoy the other content as well. Don't let the negative Nellies get to you and remember your own motto. Laff often, speak life, praise God and Crock on! P.S. Tomato season is almost here. Please do a fresh tomato soup for the crockpot please!!!! Give the dogs a pat-and Mikey as well, and Miss Add a hug.

    I dont understand how people think it is ok to tell a complete stranger what they need to do and to say such hateful things.. it boggles my mind how somehow this world has adapted this idea that if you hide behind a computer it is ok to be a bully on the internet and then have the nerve to hide behind "freedom of speech", I strongly believe in what I was told growing up.. If you have nothing nice to say then don't say it all.. if it doesn't lift someone else, encourages them and help them grow,, shut up.. trolls are just miserable people who are not happy,, happy people do NOT try and bring people down, happy people try and lift people up. YES they definitely reap what they sow, they may think they are being clever and funny but it will come back on them. I always leave positivity on people's videos or posts. One positive word can change a person's whole day!

    Some people get their jollies by being nasty to others. Especially when they are anonymous. I have been here long enough to know what is in your heart and hwve even experienced that for myself. I love the whole family. You are all very precious to me…Sharon from Tennessee

    Cris, Thanks for being frank, or in this case Cris! I'm afraid you're burning yourself out? Step back for awhile to reset yourself. We will all understand and support you. You can't be everything to everyone. You have a lot of responsibilities and you do a fantastic job. Remember you can't take care of anyone else unless you "feed" yourself first. Your Crock Posse Loves you and your whole family. I think that when you expose yourself so much that it sets you up for some off comments that do truly hurt. Too bad there isn't a program that weeds out certain nasty algorithms, but again there is free speech and those people take it to extremes! Okay, I'll get off my soapbox. Love you!

    Hello. I'm really sorry that people are sending you nasty grams. I love watching all your videos even the ones I know I won't cook. I think your family is great and that is why I continue watching. For those people who don't like something keep it to yourself, why ruin someones day by being negative. And if you don't like something in one of the recipes by all means leave it out, No recipe is set in stone. Keep up the great work ya'll are doing. I will keep watching and I love the VLOGS also, my granddaughter and I watch together. I can only make comments when on my computer so I don't comment very much as I usually watch You Tube on my TV with my granddaughter which doesn't let me leave a comment but it let's me hit the like button. Have a wonderful day and keep smiling.

    I LOVE YOU CRIS…WE, THE CROCK POSSE, LOVE YOU!!❤❤ Always feel free to vent to us anytime you need to! Bless your heart, you even vent respectfully, thinking before you speak. As we all should. I always look forward to seeing ANYTHING you, Mikey, Miss Add and Aunt Lou share with us and GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!❤ The fact that speaking life is important to y'all, makes following you and all you do a true pleasure! I hope you and Aunt Lou feel the LOVE and do what you need to to recover from this unfortunate situation. It's impossible to please everyone and sad that some people feel the need to be hurtful but the good that y'all do is so much better than this! They may have brought you down for a bit…WE'RE HERE TO BUILD YOU UP!! Glad the COW is ready and hope you're safely back on the road, living and loving the life you enjoy!
