Hello
My name is Buster and I’m stuck in an apartment in New Jersey.... HELP!!!
I’m not homesteading yet but getting closer every day to a place where I can make, build and grow my own.
Note: I am dyslexic, communicating in the written word is difficult and time-consuming for me. Please excuse misspelled words and confusing sentences etc. But I believe it will be worth the time writing for this forum. Hopefully I can return to you the knowledge information and entertainment I’m sure I’ll get from you all.

We all have some sort of handicap to deal with you'll be fine.

I wish dyslexia were my only handicap but I do OK. It seems that my talents in other areas compensate for the weak parts, most of the time.
Being dyslexic I’ve learned that it’s the one to warn people about beforehand when communicating by text. It’s a lot easier than trying to explain myself afterwards
 
Welcome from Paradise, Alaska.

Welcome, from Colorado!
I was a reading specialist for several years. I worked with children who struggled with reading. One of the best books that I read about the topic was, "Overcoming Dyslexia," by Sally Shaywitz, M.D. I am retired from teaching now, but I understand the struggle.
 
Hello and a warm welcome, good site to be on, as far as I'm concerned this is the best "good hearted site I've ever been on." people here really care for others well being.
 
Welcome from a fellow Jerseyan. I’m also in an apartment but I got a nice backyard. Most of my gardening is done and raised beds and pots. Can’t have chickens in my part of the Democratic People’s Republic of New Jersey, but I get by.

So what exit? Lol

♥️Was waiting for you to pop in!!
 
In a world that is upside down and backwards being dyslexic may be the greatest gift ever! At least God is letting you see it as it is better than everyone else. He will HELP as you you have requested. ;)
 
Welcome, Buster, from Potatostan, the place that everyone's heard about but can't find on a map. I made a move in 2018 to a more rural location; and now I'm working harder than ever on my own micro-farm -- and loving it.

We're looking forward to hearing more from you!

I love teachers. Without the help of countless teachers throughout my youth I would be nearly illiterate. I cherish your sentiment your help and your understanding. But you are recommending a book to a dyslexic, I hope we can all laugh at the irony.
I work at a community college as a supplemental instructor/tutor in math physics and engineering. I hope I can pay forward the care you have given to your students and the help my teachers gave to me.
 
Just to be clear: I am not sensitive about my dyslexia or anything else I can think of. If I make a mistake in my texts and it’s funny... laugh, tell me about it, then laugh some more. I feel that laughter is essential and fantastic, even at my own expense. Feel free to laugh with me or at me, I do it all the time.
