That may be just enough to make life a little better. Every cent you make doing something means one less cent you need to beg, borrow, or get in welfare (even the Church type!). ;) Do I make sense? Hi Wendy!

From AOL journals to your new journal now. You've shared so much of your life and I know you have alot of physical ailments. I also know you push it during the the "good days". You feel good and you're out and about living life to the fullest, even if you pay for it the next day or a few days down the road. I know that if you could you'd have a job in a flash, but your body won't let you. Your purpose and self-worth are not defined by a daily grind type of job. Every person that you have crossed paths with, you have touched their lives in some way. With all that you go thru personally, you still have an amazing heart. Although that doesn't give you a paycheck at the end of the week, I still see you as blessed.:) Take it from someone who has read every one of your journal entries for the past 4 years. You're an inspiration. I'm with the ones that say "write a book!". I'm all for you putting a cookbook together too! You're an inspiration and if you shared your story, you'd have people devouring it word by word.:) I’ve been reading your online journal for 4 years. From AOL journals to your new journal now.

They work the 12 steps. Going on what you've written, it sounds like you might benefit. Go to http://www.codependents.org/foundation-docs-patterns.php to see if any of those characteristics apply to you.

I heard about it on the news. You make a web site and if they like it they put ads on it and every time someone clicks on one of the ads you make money. I don't know if you are interested or not, but it might be worth checking into. good luck, Deborah Have you ever heard about making a web site on Google?

A cell phone and internet connection are not necessities. You can get a home phone for real cheap on the lifeline program and aol actually has a very fast dial up now. You can get a friend to keep your hair trimmed. Call up social services-- they will send someone out to help you shop for groceries and keep your apt clean. It's a free service in Florida, my mom lives there and she has a disability that is not anywhere near as severe as yours and she has this service. You would also qualify for Meals On Wheels. they will deliver a home cooked meal once a day during week days at no charge to you. That way you can do without the van and insurance and gas fee. My mom just gets a monthly bus pass or there is a van for disabled people that you can call to pick you up and take you places. It's free also. Also, there are jobs online where you answer customers email at your leisure. You can work as many or as few hours as you wish.

Am I saying and doing "typical" things? If so, that's really interesting! I know I am still screwed up from my past. If you can see stuff about me I can't, feel free to tell me more.

I won't repeat it here without being asked but I still think that's the best way to deal with our mutual background.
