sounds like fishing or maybe a box of chocolates - you might as wade in and test the CURRENT rules, you just might get lucky.  "do ya feel lucky, punk?  huh do ya?"  what's the worse that will happen - they will say no?  go for it - if you have a good attitude and an accommodating agent - you just might strike it rich. o'c (back in '68, my dad popped 1300 for a '60 cadillac + 250 in hand controls.  freedom sure was [and still is] sweet.)     In a message dated 10/31/2006 12:57:10 P.M.

As an aside, just to share:  I just found out that COPES (which is a program that sort of supplements DSHS) will offset van lift repairs by paying part of a utility bill.  I thought I would give it a shot and asked my social worker.  Leave no stone unturned :-) On 10/31/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Kay, I'm sure by now and after reading some of the postings by others how lucky you are.
