If qualified people can come to our home to teach me, fine, but if they cannot, and the training is available, isn't it worth going the distance? If you really want me to be independent, isn't this the way to go? If not, what is?" Ask these questions calmly, and explain your needs and desires. --- Shepherds are the best beasts, but Labs are a close second. ----- Original Message ----- From: "jessica" <jessicabrown...@gmail.com> To: <cookinginthedark@acbradio.org> Sent: Monday, January 23, 2012 9:20 PM Subject: Re: [CnD] cutting food > They won't let me because it is too far away from home for there liking. > > sent from my BrailleNote > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Charles Rivard" <wee1s...@fidnet.com > To: <cookinginthedark@acbradio.org > Date sent: Mon, 23 Jan 2012 21:14:13 -0600 > Subject: Re: [CnD] cutting food > > They won't let you?
