well if you are good at "sales" there is an indoor window sales job on Arizona's craigslist online!
I got my job on craigslist just be careful of scams!
and I'll be praying for you two to be together and get married because you two,Blain and Artsie steph,are one of few "dedicated" couples I've ever known of!

I think the main thing we need to focus on is figuring out if Blain could indeed move here and still keep the insurance and disability that he already has. And a big thing to was to see if there any other people in Arizona that kids also be a support system for him . And thing is to is I'm going to be a caregiver as long as dad is alive, so I won't be able to get a job anytime soon. And it could be that God heals my dad to, and I'll be able to get a job then. But no matter what my caregiving stent is going to be in the foreseeable future.

So it's not so much just about Blain being able to come here.

Thank you so much Joe I appreciate it.I think the whole blog thing is a good idea with my current situation of not being able to hold down a regular job either. I guess the thing is that the traction and "popularity" that's going to have to happen to be able to let us thrive takes a long time.

One problem is that I have a tendency to focus the efforts on myself. Like I thought maybe it'd be a good idea to do a weight loss blog. As in, me losing weight and documenting what all happens. But as far as catering to a specific fandom? That I haven't done except on Tumblr.

Another thing I thought of was maybe doing art speed draws speed paints. Basically where I record myself doing art, then upload it at a faster speed with like music behind it or something.

It's almost like there are so many ways and so many means to do if that my brain gets all frustrated and fogged up with too many ideas.

You know I am still tweaking the Christian forum I made, I don't know why but I have always been into making forums and always considered running one but never really jumped into it because I don't know if running a forum is extremely time consuming or not. of course I would need time to be able to be here on cc as well and so even if running a forum would make a decent income if it is to time consuming then I can't do it. Though since i love cc so much a forum would make perfect sense job wise for me, of course I wouldn't be able to tell anyone here about it if i got up and running or I would get banned and that would make my entire world shatter to pieces.

Has anyone ever run a forum before and do you know how time consuming it is?

Yeah you'd just have to probably not speak of it here at all if you made it. I mean if you wanted to you could make a discord chat on it but that would be different.

Ya but the issue with that is that if people here joined it and the mods in cc found out somehow I would be banned because technically that is stealing from robo. honestly i am sort scared just talking about making it lol

pray and ask Jesus to give you the 'focus' that you MUST have,,.it's the beginning of
being 'separate' from the world and Trusting Heavenly Father to lead us where
He wants us to go, His Will...oh yes, He never stops 'testing our mettle'...

Well the only thing I know to instinctively do is to focus on him regardless if I am able to make any money to be with stephanie or not. Like I said before I knew that if I focused on him and sought after him then if there was a women out there for me he would guide her to me and he did, and I feel the same way in this too but at the same time I also want to check my options I am not one to sit around and do nothing

by the way, we're pretty sure that CC could care less about your endeavors,
they would, we hope, pray for you and support you in all of your journeys,..

I tried explaining this to Steph a while ago. Basically, create a blog about your favorite subject, (Pokemon?), learn SEO and PPC advertising, keep working the site, (join forums about your favorite subject, make friends, visit their site, talk about the subject, include links to your site in your signy), keep learning, keep building, keep working your blog, until you get lots of people visiting, and the ads that appear will become related to your keywords.

First step: Learn how. The info is free online, so go for it.
Hi Depleted, I have a Christian blog that was started about 5yrs ago dedicated to honoring God. It is basically my personal weekly bible study that is uploaded to the blog. My question is how do I get more readership and what does "Learn SEO and PPC advertising mean." Hopefully this will be helpful to Blain and Stephanie toward creating their own style of blog. I know there is a learning curve to overcome but I was able to create a blog for free though the help of Christian friend and Jesus my Saviour! Thank you and God bless! Here's my blog link: https://biblewisdombyverse5.blogspot.com

as you said, you mostly 'sit around' because of your issues: if Jesus is leading you to create
your 'own' what ever, then go for the The Gold', what have you got to lose, but face?

this is how we GROW!!!:eek::)

I know of a family that has a garage/yard sale every weekend.

They purchase items from estate sales or other yard sales and buys them cheaper. You learn as you go along what you can get for different items.

Some yard sale people will give you their items at the end of the sale if they haven't gotten rid of them yet. I'm sure your church would donate items to help you out as well.

Get married.
Stay on Disability.
Move into her Dad's house.
Make sure the house goes to her, free and clear when he dies.
And then you both will at least have a roof over your heads and enough money to buy food.

Honestly even if I don't make any money from it if the forum itself makes a difference in peoples lives and leads people closer to god that would be enough for me my only thing is if it's time consuming.

Her Dad isn't going to die but ya we have thought about and even asked her dad I was even willing to pay rent and such but he said they wouldn't have room because they are moving into a smaller house

just a share:

DR, is what hub would call a 'poly-anna, in 'some ways', just like he does me so many times when I expect
the very BEST of my own...He has taught me so many Truths about human nature over
the years, that sometimes I just think that my head will explode because of His awakening
me to the ways and means of mankind...without Jesus and His Love, it just wouldn't be
worth it...
