[Faith-talk] thanks...regarding online dating.

[Julie McGinnity]

Hi Amy,

I grew up in STL, so it's neat that you're not too far away from where
I lived until last year.  I agree with Debbie's suggestions.  Also,
have you contacted the affiliate in Illinois?  Maybe they have some
suggestions or can help you with job leads in a larger city where you
can build up some savings and then pursue your original dream.  I will
try to think of other suggestions.
