I pay for and rely on several services to keep the site running securely and properly. The cost of those services has doubled and tripled in recent years. I also pay a consultant every month to take care of server issues when I'm "over my head". He has been very busy recently helping with several layers of technical issues.

If I was ever able to reach $500 a month in income it would pay the expenses and maybe provide me with a little extra income in retirement to cover the hours I spend every day to keep this site available. Would you deny me that?
Her post was not even worth your time to reply to. Thanks for all you do.
