msbelle, I think you'd be fantastic at that. And you could make the business thing work - there are a lot of bits to keep track of, but it's completely doable, and anyway they're your bits.

(OTOH, your mother may just never get over it. My dad keeps asking me if I've found a job yet.)

msbelle, there was a story on Slate within the last couple of months about people doing that sort of work.

job ma ~~~ quester.

and I can think of once or twic in the last year when that would have been a really useful service , msbelle.

Eep. I just found out there was a mugging in my neighborhood Sat night. The victim is in the ICU with 3 stab wounds. The attacker was not caught.

thanks to all of you for the words of encouragement. I may do something informal for some income pretty soon and see how it goes.
