Morning Pam, sorry about leaving you so abruptly last night. I hated to but my son was having one of his Bipolar breakdowns on the phone and then triggered a depressive episode for me so it was all a big mess.

I hope your appt. goes well this morning. You don't have to take Jackie with you do you?

I will have to give you my phone number so we can stay in touch before you can get a computer. Mari is right, Freecycle is awesome, I go to the site a couple times a day, in fact I have some stuff that is supposed to be picked up today and tomorrow. I don't throw anything away anymore, if it can still be used it goes in a box and when I get enough in the box I give it away. We have gotten a lot of stuff from there too, got our Pomeranian and our ferret! There are other similar sites that sell for real cheap too. The colleges are usually paying for laptops these days, my SIL got one, course she finished one semester then dropped out but she still has the laptop. They even paid for her internet access. If I were you I would see about sticking with the disability and getting grants for school. That way you won't have to take out student loans. Those are a pain in the butt and take forever to pay off. Though you will have to see which ever way works best for you financially.

I am so proud of you for taking this step. I know how hard this has been and how long it has taken for you to come to this point. You have been fighting with this inside for a long time. I hope everything works out for you.
