Life can be difficult but it isn't all bad
In recent weeks I have been trying to increase my time on the forums of WA, you know chat, activity dashboard etc. The main reason was to acknowledge some of the support that WA has given me and that goes the same for the members here, your support is fantastic.
I have come to realise that it is going to be difficult for me to continue this exercise mainly due to health reasons, because if I am going to have a chance at making money from my websites I need to be able to focus on these as much as possible.
My main health reason is to do with arthritis, I need to stop and have a rest now as my fingers are quite sore, which means every post I write is taking me far too long.
We all know that it is more important to provide yourself and your family with a future by making an income. Prior to Xmas last year I secured a job, my first real job in over three years, a job which lead me to and my family to rejoice. I was asked to leave the job after 2 months because I had become a liability due to my illness.
To all of those people who have followed me (999 right now, love that figure!) thanx for your support, to all of those who have commented on posts etc thankyou.
I will be lurking around the site, learning and focussing on my business as I need an income and my hands need less work!
This is not a "good bye" post, rather a thank you post, and I will be watching you!! All of you ... lol

Hi Steve!
I am sorry to hear of your severe arthritis. I have degenerative arthritis myself and can completely understand your trials and struggles. I also know of some home made remedies that I have tried over the years that have worked for me.
Some have worked better than others and some haven't worked for me at all but have worked for some others that I know. If you are interested in hearing any of these home made remedies, please feel free to PM me and I will tell you a little about them. Maybe you can find them in whatever part of the world you are in.

G'day Mike,
I am interested in anything that gives me a glimmer of hope, it is that simple. The docs have just said, the drugs we give you will work for a while but after that ... didn't like what they said.
PM coming

Replied. What I have tried has worked in me and others and I have one other treatment to offer if those do not work for you. I am confident those will though.
I'm sorry to hear this and I know how upsetting it can be to not do what you love to do. I had to give up my offline job due to my health. I have also heard about programs that write for you, it may be worth looking into.
Thanx, I guess it has something to do with age (in most cases ) I am well down the path to using voice command software, it is expensive and may require a PC upgrade but that is a small price to pay to keep on doing this.
MKerns had a great point there is software that will translate your voice into text. Here Is a link to the top ten http://www.toptenreviews.com/business/software/best-voice-recognition-software/
Hope this helps.
Hi Lori,
Thankyou so much for providing that link, I knew about Dragon, the leading brand of software for Windows operating system, but upon reading the review you provided I have found it can do far more than I remember.
Glad times have improved this product, thanks again for providing the review, you saved me a lot of time.

Sorry to hear of your health issue Steve. But the good thing is that you are continuing with WA. Wishing you all the best :)
Thanx Mike, currently searching. I know of Windows based software but I am running Linux. I do have a laptop too though so I might have to use the two to get the job done. Thanx
Aww sorry to hear that, I hope you can find a solution so you don't have to be in so much pain. :)
Thanx Pat,
I had the heading wrong, fixed that, seems like I had pasted the wrong words back in to the heading. A reflection on how I have to change my working habits, yes I will be using cut and paste to create posts etc
