Good for you Jan. It is nice to see/meet another OCD person. My DD and I are starting down the same path as you are, starting our own little quilting business. I was laid off over three years ago and gave up the job hunt after several months and decided to draw my SSI. I did the math, I was also in the accounting field and found that potential employers were not offering wages for experience and yes, there is an age factor for some of us. I decided that economically it was best to stay home instead of fighting the daily grind of commuting to work.
