I am a 30 yr old single mother of 2 residing in Connecticut. I am currently working as a casino dealer , very odd hours..my shift is 5am -1pm. and only scheduled 2-3 days a week. I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ( yes it is a very real sickness) which makes it very hard to function outside of home. I also have recently been told that I have Spina Bifida (don't know why it wasn't found when I was born ??!!) I would like to be able to work from home and spend more time with the kids. I dont want to have to apply for disability because I would like to have my own little business and have things to do.  I also would like to own my own home one day. Im trying to keep my hopes up that I can make this happen. I have been renting for the last 10 years and I would love to have my own home one day. Any information on how to buy a home with not so good credit or any grant programs would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Ahead of time!!

Website Creation, Readability, Stickiness

A-K Strategic Business Solutions

In the effort to learn about website design and business strategy for web marketing, I ran across the page above (click the link to visit). I thought it would be beneficial for this audience because it offers such a wide range of great information, such things as how to write effective copy, serif size and readability, stickiness, graphic protocol to speak to the widest audience, and so forth. And, did you know that some browsers won't open if the font is inappropriate or too small? I didn't.

Loving art, I tend to get over dramatic with images. I really am not concerned about graphic usability on this blog. Perhaps I should be concerned when using it on blogspot, and certainly on my future business website. And, not only do I want readers to gain something, I want them to first find the site, and enable it to open correctly when they do, even if it's from their Blackberry.

Anyway, this particular site (A-K Strategic Solutions) is outstanding and constantly keeping up to date with its technology alerts. Very necessary reading...

Enjoy, m_99

Okay, I'm not going to get really into my background because it really doesn't matter.  I'm not a dummie.  I'm not lazy.  But I do need help.  I've had the unfortunate experience of getting hurt in two different auto accidents.  My insurance cut me off from medical coverage relating to those accidents within 3 months of each.  Of course they pay their doctors to say that I'm fine "you're young... don't worry about it" is what I kept hearing.  Screw that!  It's been 2 years since the 1st accident and 1 year since the 2nd... and I'm still seeing a chiropractor once a week!!  I DO have regular health insurance, but had to eat through the $500 deductible for the out of network doctor.  And have them cover acupuncture?? HA!  And that's just the specialists I've been seeing since August 2006... I've seen neurologists, chiropractors, been to physical therapy (several), regular doctor, had x-rays, MRI's, cat-scans, etc...  What am I left with?  A messed up knee and lower back problems from 2 compressed discs on my lower spine.

My point is, that it all adds up.  BUT I'm not looking for charity.  While I'd love to sue both of those rat-bastard drivers who hit me and make them/their insurance companies pay me back for all the doctor visits and stuff, what I'm really looking for is a 2nd job for additional income.  I'm not here asking for free money or anything like that.  I'm essentially an able bodied person who's looking for a partime/freelance job to make extra money - that I can save... so I don't ever have to ask for money or get really into debt.

I'm a professional (and talented) graphic designer looking for freelance work.  I DO have a regular full-time job though, so any additional jobs I get would be done at nights and on weekends.

I used to babysit all through highschool and college... I'd love to do some more babysitting as I'm great with kids.

Heck I'm up for just about any job... I love to keep busy and don't want to feel like a schmuck charity case.
