So earlier your left arm was wounded (temporarily) and now you have one arm? And you use caps lock because it is easier with one arm, then it's easier for you to read, and now it's back to being easier to type?

Any online "community" can be callous but that does not mean always without sympathy...IMO using a disability to claim non conformity when it comes to online etiquette is no excuse... (let me tell you about the pain I deal with on a daily basis from RA...oh never mind...)
There are lots of voice to text etc. apps available for users that are unable or have difficulty using a standard keyboard...
BTW...you being in Cornelia makes us practically neighbors so sorry if my opinion seems crass...it's not my intent...
By now the OP seems to have given up in disgust... I hope he found some useful answers to his question. (I thought he got some pretty insightful suggestions.)
Here's something on a lighter note... Tom T. Hall - Who's Gonna Feed Them Hogs - YouTube
I'm not sure why it's been stuck in my head all day.

Disgust of what? the thread getting side tracked after over 200 replies? methinks not...

I think the answer is that land will not yield a profit on a small scale- especially if you are new to whatever business you try to get going. Just breaking even on the investment will be a job!

tcreeley, You are right, although it is not necessarily a matter of scale.
Breaking even on the investment purely from sales is, and always has been, very difficult. There is a lot more to it than that though. For several decades now I have not chased income, but aimed to live well (and I do) at minimal expense. Having an agricultural holding in most countries (I have no US experience, so it might not apply) is the easiest way to achieve this lifestyle. My home has always been part of the farm.
Many other expenses that non-farmers have to bear are also included in business costs. Rates/local taxes have always been nil or extremely low wherever I have lived, and I feed myself as far as reasonably practicable, buying what is too difficult or impossible to produce. Increases in the value of our properties around the world have kept pace with inflation, plus I always buy somewhere in need of TLC so have improved them all and been paid for my work when we sell. Moving is easy once you get the hang of it, and you have experiences you can never get by living in one place.
