Hello Stash, actually I would not have been able to get nearly as far as I have without the assistance of Mike 'thetefeldon' who responded earlier. He has been amazing in terms of help. For my part, combined with his help and a long (long, long) ... Read More

Thanks Bonnie! The community so far has been great. At the moment I am discussing an ED visa with a company, and will update you as to how that goes. Hopefully when I get my book published and become a best seller, we'll be able to afford better ... Read More
