Well, the looming threat of losing our place is finally here. We're getting a 3-day notice and need to try to come up with a couple grand to pay our rent and utilities for the past couple months. *sigh*

Wouldn't you know it? TLC cleaning is growing but not yet at full bore... but getting there... and I have some people interested in site work... but now it hits.

Well, wish us luck, and help if you can.

Thanks,

Drake & Beth Steele

Desperate times...

We're on the verge of losing our home again... Why do things have to be so tough? Beth's biz is going well but if we can't keep this place til we can get things together... And then there's my business... Which is piecemeal so far, at best...

So I'm reaching out: Help, if you can. Need a website or some print stuff designed? Mention this post by the first line and I'll drop 10% off the cost of any work I do for you. Check my rates at http://coldsteel.dsweb.org. And if you live in the Sacramento area, Beth might be able to come clean your home. Check her page at http://tlc.dsweb.org to find out more...

...and if you don't need either, here's the item of last resort...

You can donate. We need a car... Badly. I can't get around on foot anymore to make it to busses, and with Beth gone working and having to walk and bus to her jobs, it's hard... We can use any halfway decent set of wheels to get us from point A to point B. It doesn't have to be pretty.

We could also use a washer and/or dryer, if you have one sitting unused that works. We'd have no way to pick it up tho. *sigh*

And then of course, we can use money. Any amount is appreciated. More than you know. We need to get enough together to catch up on our rent and utilities, and get wheels. I don't like asking for help. My pride takes a big hit just asking...

But we need it. Help.




Thank you,

- Drake.

YAY! My old buddy RedMageKiller (I hung out with him and his wife in high school) came to visit! How sweet is that? Beth and I stayed with them for a couple days when we got together, and man it's going to be great to see them. I hope they hang out for a while! And to MsBlackDragon70 (RedMage's wife) hope things are better soon. Everyone: send her your best wishes as she is going through a very difficult time.

Too cool.

DSweb 4.0 Unleashed and a general update!

Welcome to the new look! Hope you all are enjoying the new look and feel of the site!

We are trying to expand our businesses… Beth is running TLC Cleaning and is starting to do pretty well with it. She’s getting regulars now and some great reviews! I’m very proud of her. My own business is still a bit slow. I’m hoping that it will pick up but I’m also still hunting for full-time employment I can do from here. Wish us both luck!

I have, however, been entering some contests and such, and hoping to see where they take me, You can see some of my latest weirdness below:

You can see more at my Portfolio site.

Hope you like it.
