Thanks CJ and thanks very much Jammin Jan! That's so sweet!!! I just got back and, after four hours at the dept of social services I have some temporary assistance.. What a relief! This should help me think more clearly when I am looking for work... You are the nicest group of friends! Thanks again ...
