I had, by this time had another attack by that illness and it got so bad I could not work at my job and consequently had to move out of the mobile home. I did not lose that job (yet) but was able to acquire an old RV to find a place to park and move into it. I did not have to pay anything for it at the time, but was reserved for a later time when I was able to get back on my feet. I wound up on sofa for three weeks in the home of this doctor who would become my landlord for the next several years. (This is the same individual whose website I had been working on.)
I had a roommate in that mobile home. He was so disgruntled that I was not going out and working in spite of being incapacitated by the ailment, he and his two nephews sought restitution for him also losing a place to live, by plundering my bedroom of anything that had any value. After I recovered and was able to barely get around, it was time to clean out that trailer and move into my RV home now set in the doctor's back yard. When I discovered the theft, I cried. It was the last time I ever saw those bad people again.
By this time, I had gotten involved with several Internet marketing opportunities, but it turned out, none of them were worth their salt. I was trying to learn how to do these things using antiquated (by Internet terms) information. I found a seminar going on for ten days at the end of 2008, called "Masters Seminar." In essence, it did teach a little bit about traffic, but if you've ever heard of StomperNet, this is the type of stuff being taught, and it was a den of Internet marketing self-proclaimed gurus - and a school where you learn how to be just another one! It ended with a BANG! No further details...

Just read one page per day. LOL! Now I can see the wisdom in the way you put out content. I realize there are two pages in there that are extremely long - however, I leave it to the readers to read thoroughly, skim or skip these two pages, or any that they wish.
Let's just say I made up for lost time. Anyway, Not here to see who can compete with the biggest autobiography. The whole thing culminates into why I joined Wealthy Affiliate and why I am here (at that point in time where it breaks off.) It was meant to be a story with real people and things. I realize not everybody likes that and that's okay.
Hey, Page ten was a given, so I had more like nine pages of long, boring text. I do appreciate you attempted to read the pages and I also appreciate your honesty.
My Resource isn't about hardship though I can see this might be true from your perspective. Now, there was a time when I wrote daily blogs on here - all about things that were happening to me. After awhile I got the message that writing daily ramblings about drama in my life is annoying and that WA is not a sounding board for those kind of things. It comes down to basic human nature, that I had to learn for myself - people don't care about someone else's drama. It 's just as true here as it is outside of here. Therefore I stopped doing it. It doesn't make for the most inspirational reading and is a colossal time-waster for both sides. I was told by a number of people, some public, some private, some kindly and others downright abrupt. I will talk about this practice later. I didn't stop there - further, removed 400+ blogs, leaving only the few that actually would help other members.
This is not a tutorial I know, but it leads up to what I'm about to say today, even though the venue isn't technically what it's for. It holds lessons for others. It was all about what made me want to join what I found to be the best of the best. In all good intent I joined, but my overall intent in being here has not borne witness with the intent I had when I first walked in the door, that at least, not in full.
This is a general statement and should be regarded as such. There are numerous mentionings about exercising the tongue (and pen) too much as I was doing (and am apt to,) in the Bible. However, such quotes are not allowed on here. So I must resort to any one of quite a number of secular ones, and so let's choose Plato. Now that's as secular as we can get right?
"Wise men speak because they have something to say, but fools speak because they have to say something."
I may have things to learn about being laconic, but I've learned the hard way that there are times to hold the tongue, and that being more than not. Anybody can be heard, and is a given right, but million-pound words come far and few.
God's mighty blessings on you dear boy........

It's not just the point of putting personal history up here - but more about WHY I originally came here.
Part II is going to tell a different story once I got inside and what happened during the last five years.
Thank you dear boy =0))
Got a long way to go...
Had some rough times, but they were much worse before the 2000s.
