I agree with you tbh....the lack of empathy is amazing sometimes...

I'm trying to remember now where we got the free phone from, etc. I've been searching around and came across this link which is a directory of services available in Northern California (and beyond).

Here's another link that might lead to some useful info.

Also saw this link where our Gov. wants to cut services in this area ... I guess he is a republican, after all.

Actually she was advised of the rule on the internet yet she didn't take the advice. She was told elsewhere on another thread and still persisted with the use of CAPS. So many took offense to it since it seemed deliberate.

From what I can tell, she stopped after she was told - and explained was used to it from work. Had both threads going at once was why caps were in both places.

Shoud it really be a hanging offense?

I know you weren't. The spelling what my typo and as for pronounciation, I don't give a rat's tail. I pronouce it the way it is pronounced in my neck of the woods and could care less how it is pronounced by Brits, Southerners or Mid-westerners.

I just read rule 14. You are both in violation of rule 14. Me too, now.
I just broke seven site rules on my way to the bathroom.
