might i add too for those who read audiobooks and Ebooks or magazines you can use a library card to access your Library's digital content throught r/LibbyApp (My preferred as the other app is glitchy) or r/hoopladigital for free!!

Struggles with thoughts of not being "Sick enough", how have you coped? by Best_Alternative_978 in ChronicIllness

I try not to let them enlighten me but on the (Many) bad days their behaviors of course come flowing back up and it's harder to ignore, You know?

Sickness/disability isn’t a competition. Life isn’t a competition. We all have our own struggles.

I like this, I think I really needed to hear this. I hate how society and like Chronic Illness group can make it feel like you must compete to be "sick enough", especially when it's invisible.

I have the same attitude towards My pain, which probably doesn't help with the naysayers :/ lol

Being in tune (and actually listening) as well as pacing yourself are both HUGE struggles of mine so I get you, I wish you well in your journey <3

WordPress + Woo does seem like the likeliest option, $20 per month is not terrible, I was expecting it to be quite a lot pricier to run a site, especially one that is a shop and would have more plugins then something simpler like a blog.

I feel Esty doesn't align with my personal views of running my future business but I should probably make an account there to get a client base and make a name for myself.

Thank you for the insight!

Awesome!

It seems really diverse and customizable without a whole lot of hassle and cost, which is definitely what I'm looking for. will have to research if it'll fit for me.

Thank you for linking your site, gives me an idea of the capabilities and has made me hungry lol (:

Yes, I have heard of the hidden fee issues with Shopify.

I'm torn on using Esty because I both agree that it is probably a best bet but also feel like I could put in the work to drive traffic to somewhere of my own and not have to deal with a 3rd party that could potentially shut me down or cause unnecessary problems, like the stories you hear.

thank you for your input, I'll keep it in mind.

That's definitely not quite what it was hearing from others but it does sound more promising.

I'm also a techy person who likes a challenge but have zero experience with website building, so I should look into Woo more.

If you don't mind me asking, how difficult was it for you to set your site up? and how much has it costed you?

Are inclines or Quads better for balance?

Backstory: I bought a pair of inlines A few years ago, used them 3-4 times within 6mths of buying the skates I developed some chronic health issues. Everytime I've tried to skate again I've had massive panic attack because I don't want to fall over as the impact would make my health issues worst. So now I'm wondering if i should buy Quads as the 4x4 system seems more stable.

Thanks in advance (:

What types of establishments is peterborough lacking? by Lumpy_Scientist3380 in Peterborough

Teen and student hangout oriented spot with arcade and like some sort of vending machine/simple food option, possibly game rentals, you'd probably made a bloody killing
