[Electronics-talk] kitchen appliances

Fri Jul 25 22:50:46 UTC 2014

Pam and all,
I currently live about 45 minutes from the nearest college campus so
didn't consider that as an option at this time. Kendra is correct
though and if I move to that college town I will pick them up again.
As for Voc Rehab I didn't know they paid for anything but school and
all that entails with maintenance if you qualify and child Care in
lieu of maintenance if that applies and if you qualify, and help with
obtaining job skills or starting  a business. Back to the sorority
though. As part of there mandates or tenets, delta Gamma helps blind
or visually impaired people to get things done. I used to use there
services when I lived in Baton rouge, home of the LSU Tigers and
Southern Jaguars! They are also instrumental in Seeing Eye events and
fundraisers. So, ask around people at your nearest college or
university about them.

Good day to all,
Danielle, who isn't feeling so great!
