Perhaps in the future I can rejoin the list when >I have more time to read. >My best wishes and prayers to all.. just the fact that you know we are here is a potential help to your friend you can always come back here and lurk you can always dig in the list archives on the wwweb at your leisure all the best janet ps i am copying this reply to the list for the benefit of other aolians who may have other suggestions for you janet paterson 52 now / 41 dx / 37 onset snail-mail: PO Box 171 Almonte Ontario K0A 1A0 Canada website: a new voice <http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Village/6263/> e-mail: <[log in to unmask]>
