Do you ever feel ashamed of what you do?

[tombarr]

my mother has always known what i do,

My mother and her husband not only know what I do, they offered to help me sell my videos in their hometown.

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.

That is something to DEFINATELY be proud of. An example of what is called the "American Dream", despite the industry acceptance issue.
A big hearty "Good on Ya" (sorry borrowed that from an aussie friend) to you and your son!
