It's hard to believe after reading the following quotes which you made previously in this thread that you retired ONLY because you weren't getting paid what you felt was just. Now ask yourself, were you ready and willing to retire in the days BEFORE your major setbacks or after them when you didn't have a choice.

Doing a few updates on the site isn't real work. Posting is a hobby. Retired officially isn't my title. Retired from real work is just a term for a person who does very little.
Eva is not sole owner and runner of the company. It takes her a few hours a week.

Sorry typed it wrong. Eva is NOW sole owner of the company. My mistake, keep flaming instead of debating the subject. That's will solve everything.
Need to get moving on this as I can only manage a few hours a day without a nap.

I said I would come back if somebody would pay $3,000 for a set.
To come out of retirement I need more than 1 scene.
