The internet and connection to online friends is one of the best things for those of us who for whatever reason can't get out and about or around people. I've had a couple of major illnesses that slowed me down and one was before the computer and internet and I really felt alone. The next was with the computer and it helped make my recovery so much better. I love my computer and internet friends.

Ouch! (((hugs))) I have Fibromyalgia and a few other things that keep me mostly home-bound & unable to work so I can definitely sympathize. Kudos for you for not giving in and giving up! I haven't tried the Internet classes yet, though my friends tell me they are loads of fun. I look forward to seeing pictures of some of the stuff you get to make in these classes!
