Related: About this forumHi guys! I'm still above the turf.
My vision is much worse. Macular degeneration. It's very hard to type and read. Just wanted to say HI and wish you all well in this 'brave new world'.

Hang in there buddy! We're all in for a wild ride, and together we're going to make it through this.
