Hi,

    As a licensed massage therapist, I would be willing to provide massage 
and bodywork on a private contract basis for 100 k per year with a 10% 
increase annually  for cost of living. If you're interested? Send your 
proposal via Email.

    Bryan

>>>I just had to read this again today, without laughing ... I just have one

>>>through my home in my enviornment ... who pays to make it state of the 
>>>art training because I assure that my town nor my home are neither one 
>>>state of the art?? Do you provide this service??  Is it included in the 
>>>purchase price?? Or do we have to make sure our homes, towns, etc have 
>>>all the latest state of the art products necessary for dog training 
>>>before we can hope for dilivery of the dog??  Wow, added onto the 75,000 
>>>purchase price ... money will be tight for a while!!  But since I am a 
>>>very compentent blind person with job opportunities coming out of my ears

>>> Heya all!
>>>
>>> I've decided to start my very own, brand spankin' new guide dog program! 
>>> Of course it will be totally state of the art.  The very latest in 
>>> offering blind people all the rights and privileges they so want.
>>>
>>> All training will happen in your home environment.  We will drop off the 
>>> dog to you on Monday morning with a booklet describing the use and care 
>>> of the dog.  since you are very skilled in blindness alternatives, this 
>>> shouldn't be a problem.  this is for your convenience.  should you have 
>>> questions please call the number in the booklet and leave a message. 
>>> Someone will call you back when we feel like it.
>>>
>>> The trainer will not disturb your normal routine during the home 
>>> training process.   You will be free to take the dog wherever you like 
>>> as soon as you like, immediately after signing all the release of 
>>> liability forms. If you or the dog experience a mental health crisis 
>>> please seek the services of a professional.
>>>
>>> None of the dogs will be given health testing or hip X-rays.  You, being 
>>> a competent blind person, will be able to administer any complicated 
>>> medical interventions the dog may need.  Please see Appendix A in the 
>>> booklet for troubleshooting tips.
>>>
>>> In line with our forward philosophy on blindness, we firmly believe that 
>>> all blind people, regardless of their background, experience, available 
>>> time or inclination can be competent dog trainers.  We therefore will 
>>> provide only the barest minimum of training.  Should you experience 
>>> difficulty, please see Appendix B of the booklet for suggestions.
>>>
>>> We do not want to be viewed as a charity for the blind because this 
>>> would be demeaning to blind people.  We therefore charge $75,000 for 
>>> each dog. We are sorry that refunds or guarantees are not available. 
>>> The purchase price must be paid in full before delivery of the dog.
>>>
>>> In keeping with our hands off approach to the training experience, your 
>>> privacy and independence, we will not be offering any follow up 
>>> services. After dropping off the dog to your home, you will never again 
>>> hear from any of our staff.
>>>
>>> Sincerely,
>>> The C.R.A.P. Guide Dog School
