The New Year Cometh

Greeting all hope you had a wonderfull holiday so far. It was a quite one here but thats ok, I like it that way all the big fuss and noise of large get to gethers just don't fit me these days. I was just wondering if A: anyone is still reading my post and B: if so what are your plans for next year the big ressolution thing is coming up for me I am working on being more independent money and home wise. That this point and time my wife and I are living with family and the time to move on has come and Due to illness I have not been able to work a regular job so I have been looking for a way to make money from home maybe make some wooden boxes carve some spoons ect.. and try to sell them on E-bay or something like that. any input or advice you all may have would go a long ways as I have been tring to get things together on a less then shoestring budget here. Well HAPPY NEW YEARS to all that read this and please post if the mood hits you. God Bless
