    Coming Out

    Congratulations Chancebond! I found since I came out that my life got much easier and that was back in '87. I made it clear in job interviews, so I was only hired at places that didn't care and only judged me on the quality of my work. It also allowed me to have male friends who I didn't have to...

    First Aid for Solo Travelers

I have a fairly comprehensive first aid kit that includes steri-stripes (stitches replacement) and a SAM splint. The attached link is for a handy guide to real first aid. This book...

    A new life for me !!!

    Check out Willy's link above or Amazon search USB TV tuner. This will allow you to receive free over the air broadcasts, like what we all used before cable. If you go this route, I would also suggest procuring a decent antenna and if you have extra power available, get an amplified antenna.  kelly
