What a story Jaime. I was about to say you become your father (running away), but was relieved you moved back to be close to your child.

I'm 45 and like you, worked hard to achieve this freedom. I'm the only one of my friends who has this lifestyle. But it's not so bad, we still hang out on birthdays and some weekends :)

As a loner, I am thoroughly enjoying the alone time. After 13 years of putting on an extroverted act at the restaurant, now I feel like I can be the real me.

Coincidentally just started on Poor Charlie's Almanack, I'm just a few pages in. It was part of a gift box from Stripe :)

Spacebar is left thumb. I use a the mouse with my left-hand for work, but right-hand for gaming.

Eating, chopsticks, dishwashing, most daily chores with left-hand. But I write with my right-hand

I think i was dropped as a child 😅

All the food would end up on the floor if I tried using chopsticks with my left-hand.

Just Google Sheets 😬 But I've used Quickbooks in the past and it's very simple and intuitive.

Thanks Carl ! I'll go check it out.

Looks good Pete. Simple, does what it says. Prefer to have no flashy animations tbh.

Thanks! Still some work to do to make the design nicer

I've been using SendPulse for years. I use it for waitlist capture, drip emails, newsletters, and many other things.

"because I don't like people" 😂😂😂

same bro, same... 😄

We're all in the same boat it seems 😂

Some affordable options:

• shared hosts/VPS
- Passenger

• full-service deployment companies
- Engine Yard
- Rails Machine

• cloud deployment services
- Engine Yard Cloud
- Heroku

As a beginner, I recommend Heroku as it is ridiculously easy to deploy as long as your source code is under version control with Git. Also because Heroku was initially built for Ruby, and is written in Rails.
