    About Me

    I am 60 yr young and live in Wisconsin. Certain health problems have caused me to stay home and make my living online. Living in Low income housing helps a lot! As I am not old enough for SS but am trying to get on SSDI.... in '95 the SAME day of the OKC disaster I on my own discovered a lump in my tummy, turned out to be colon cancer. A year of chemo later, I am still free of this disease in '08. The chemo has left me with Dry eye ever since, adding to the already stress from Shingles, and most recently had Heart surgery for valve replacement, and now itchy scar stitches.... Then in 1/08 I fell due to bad legs and broke left wrist pretty good I am told....as now it is about useless. So I returned my uniforms back to McD's....and am now earning online.

    Interests

    I am into "paid to surf' sites where we can advertise our own websites and earn a % back for viewing others websites....this does create a profit for me. Also am investing in a few sites online and together they are helping me get the bills and rent paid. Besides that I am beginning to 'watch my TV" online. This new 'box' goes out more than the signal stays in and I cannot afford to get cable... I am in many groups online, some for business, games, or just plain funnin' around.. Most of all I like "Paying it forward' to help others get started in what I am doing in hopes of making their own life a bit easier...this is 'unconvntional' for the average person, then I am most Unconventional....lol!
