None the less, here is the serious issue I am confronted with.

First I want to say Happy Thanksgiving to all the US crunchers.

Now recently I was diagnosed with a very rare skin condition. It is called Pityriasis Rubra Pilaris or PRP. It is claimed that only 2.5 in 1 million get this crap. What it does is kills the outer layers of skin after blistering for a few days. It is like having 3 degree sunburn all over a person's body. Hands and feet swell up badly.

Now, with the above said, I am not going to be able to continue with my current machinist job. Hell, the tips of my fingers are pretty much f'd up and really can't grip things correctly.

I have an appointment with SSI tomorrow to file for temporary disability for around a year. This condition can last up to about 3 years.

Needless to say, SSI is not even going to equal 1/2 of my wages!

What I am needing help with is some ideas on supplemental income. Something that I can do at home; for example remote tech support, writing, or any thing all of you can think of. If you have an idea I would sure appreciate it!!! Even better if you have links and what not.

Thanks in advance,
Dano

Thoughts and prayers are with you all the way from australia mate! Hopefully you can find some work real soon
