What is this? I finally decided to take a look at all these messages about helping. It is really humorous considering we were all newbies at some time and we have all made horrible mistakes and gone in the wrong direction and spelled names wrong and married a father to his daughter, etc. I am grateful for all the help I've received in the past 45 years I've been searching. And I've received help in other areas, too. Someone told me where to get old-fashioned cottage cheese. Now where else can a person get such important help as that? Nope, not on Google.
