my mother has always known what i do, and my experience is that if you don't feel bad about what you do, most people are interested rather than looking down on you.

and no one COULD make me feel that way. i have accomplished more doing this than any of my mainstream working friends have accomplished in their jobs, skilled or otherwise.

doing this, i have developed all sorts of marketing skills, i know tons more than the average person about search engines, i can now create and edit videos, pics and animations. i can do html, some java, css and even a teeny tiny amount of php and because of adult, i can now find a great server deal even for non adult sites - because i understand hosting better.

i also learned about printing when we started out - not tons, but a lot more than i knew going in. and i know lots of small useful things - LOTS!

not to mention that in 1996 my son and i spent around $1500 and have been supporting ourselves from money earned from that original investment ever since. that money supports two households. not bad for a $1500 investment.

nope, i have nothing to be ashamed of.
