Not sure about your area but where I live our local high school has a commuinity service requirement for the kids to graduate.  That may be another place to check for help with no cost involved. Lynne --- On Sat, 10/8/11, Janice Nichols jan...@centurytel.net wrote: From: Janice Nichols

This really isn't off topic because each and every one of us that is dealing with TM (in whatever way) needs to follow this donkey's way of thinking: One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
