    I had meant to write, "sounds like Quaker Vows to me"
    but the computer put in that title about my anyerism. So I thought perhaps it was 'meant' to have been.
    Anyway, I used to do Quaker Wedding Certificates for my living. I had a website Quaker Weddings. I am living on disability now, but I'd like to try to do certificates again. Its kind of a 'niche' market. I still seem to have retained my ability to spot typos. I can still do calligraphy. I have learned to draw again. In the beginning, I will just ask for donations to my Meeting or to Right Sharing of the World Resources. I hope some day to be able to work again. But it'll be awhile before I can replace all my government support and work full time.
