I have the same experience as Diane. I came from the Los Angeles area
and learned where to get things, but now that I live in NW Arkansas, the
resources are few and not many people know where to find things. I have
gladly shared the resources that I know with many people here in NW Ark,
and will gladly share with anyone on the list who doesn't know.
