That was quite a post!!
You have experienced that "living" that many of us older folks know ALL about. A Small town in the Ozarks you say? Interesting... I am around an hour and something away, from the State Capitol in Jefferson City, MO...
It's a small world after all... I am glad to see you are finally being able to get things sorted... or at least "attempt" to anyway. Conversely... good to see you found us at the @steemterminal, as we are always willing to do all we can, to help both new... as well as current Steemians, with answers to questions... providing great information, sources, and at no extra cost (lol) a humorous, but positive environment to be in. I wish you continued success in what EVER you decide to do here...
