P.S. to Myranda. I know a lot about money troubles, and I also know a lot
about being the beneficiary of other peoples' generosity. during hard
times. I have had a very hard time accepting help from people, but I
realized that the only way to repay kindnesses like that is to turn around
and help other people when they need it and want it. That is what
community is all about, and the Internet has created these strangely
dispersed communities of like-minded people. So, if there were some way to
set up a fund to help you go to the conference, I hope you would be able to
see it as a sort of barn-raising kind of community thing. (I don't know if
I'm making any sense at all; more stream-of-consciousness, muttered
ramblings from a sleep-deprived mom!) >>

Yes, yes, yes!!!
Marji put that really, really well.
