I started knitting for my kids when we were living in colorado.

Math

ended up going to school for math education (with pell grant $500 per 6 month term) I can’t pass the exit exam. tried 5 times out of those I had to pay out of pocket for 4 of them $480.

and surprise, I got dxed with ADHD. That’s why I couldn’t pass the tests. now I pay $50 a month for it (doc + meds)

Yea while we were in alaska we were capped. we were in fairbanks as well, which isn’t that rural. I lived in the high desert of california. drive 20 min from hesperia to phelan and you could probably get meth easier than consistent internet.

A random neighbor had terok nor so naturally we changed ours to the bajoran resistance :)
