I know what you mean DK. I still haven’t really told anyone in my family that I’ve started a blog/business.

It’s simply because I want to make it on my own, much as you do. I feel similarly; if they knew they would help, and if they helped I would be at a disadvantage: I would have more support, and maybe even more money, but I’d then be less creative, less “how can I solve this problem without throwing money at it”, less motivated, and less proud of everything “I” have accomplished.

Your mistakes are your own, but at least so are your successes. Though goodness knows it can be lonely sometimes.

@ the wolf – I’ve just been trying some new things. I’m reworking the design a bit today, getting rid of the “garish colors”.

I never did receive a “dreaded 1099″ and doubt that I will. Even if I did I wouldn’t have been on the hook for the taxes as I was definition the definition of “insolvent” (and still am)

What’s up with all the ads and garish colors? What a distraction. It is easy to lose your storyline.Didn’t you clutter up your blog at least once before, then blessedly stopped. Please consider stopping again.
Whatever happened to your income taxes relative to your short sale? Was the full amount owed “forgiven” or did you get a dreaded 1099. You might have mentioned it but I can’t remember reading about the tax ramifications.

Spot on… and I’m right there with you. I broke it, and I have to fix it. I created the problem on my own, and the only way to regain my self respect is to fix it on my own….

Keep it up!!!
