Spent the last two weeks doing my due diligence and looking into every aspect of the company I can, and I gotta say, I think it's worth the risk. I don't see this popping off anytime soon, but at the current trajectory from right now, if they keep their current course I could see them being profitable eventually. Will I put my lofe savings into this bet? No. Will i put 500 every two weeks into this for the next few years and see what happens? I think I will do just that. Either way this goes, hello friends

I developed long covid in 2020. Been a member and mod of this sub since 2021 or so. Long covid completely debilitated me. I was unable to drive for two years or so because I was so dizzy. Got medically retired from the navy. I mean it truly upended my entire life and the life of my family. I wont go through the gamut of symptoms and issues i had, lost, had again etc.

But I will go over my current glaring issues.

My life would be completely normal if my blood vessels worked correctly. But they dont at all whatsoever. When I am inside my hands and feet are freezing and I feel okay, but the moment I go in the sun or heat I get red all over and my blood vessels open up like a dam burst. My hands and feet are bright red and my vessels are maxxxed out and painful, tingly. There is no equilibrium. Either my hands are freezing and "normal" or hot and tingly and veins as wide open as possible. also havent been able to sweat other than my arm pits since long covid began. At this point I imagine I will be this way forever, and I make it work by basically never going outside when it is warm or hot and always staying in an air conditioned space. It still sucks. I can't go to the beach, or walk around outside. I have seen so many neurologists and you would think I was talking about something out of this world the way they look at me when i tell them my issues. I think they think im making it up until I show videos and pics. I always say "we can go outside right now for a few minutes and ill physically show you what happens to me". Unfortunately they never take me up on that offer. I am grateful that many of my issues are better. I was once basically bed bound, unable to walk around stores or do anything besides feeling like I was dying. But it does suck that in no way am i living a normal life. I wear compression socks etc but it does nothing. Once those veins open up aint no closing them besides cooling off. Basically my entire existence revolves around keeping my hands and feet as cold as possible.

I remember when she was first elected there was a bunch of controversy about her and her husband being swingers or something, but since then I will he honest, I havent really been paying attention whatsoever. So yeah, has she been good?

I grew up in central Mississippi with a single mother and my father was incarcerated my entire life until his death a few years ago. We were very poor. Pretty much everyone i hung around with during my school years are now meth addicts working at tire stores or dollar generals.

One thing I did luck out on was using my father as an example of caution.

Through mostly luck and a little hard work, I am now 32, I have an amazing wife and 2 kids.

My wife and I pull in roughly 150k a year after taxes and live in a great neighborhood in the best school district in Florida. Some days I marvel at what my life is. I also some days wait for the other shoe to drop and find out we will lose it all. We aren't "rich" by any means, but my god it feels nice to be here. I dont know the point of this, just that im feeling extra grateful today.
