Cool - Hey, maybe we spoke in tongues together, hehe.
Back on topic, uh, yes! No A/C in So Cal Residential Facility and many, many donations of food (daily), bedding and clothing (weekly) and even "slave-like" conditions. Residents were entirely self-sufficient; growing vegtables, cooking meals, answering phones, cleaning, mentoring, etc. The elders in the program received a monthly 'stipend' for their choress. It was all good and it worked!! We have to learn to be selfless in order to enjoy giving.
Yes - I was sticking my body w/ needles and saw the damage done - whatever it took!!
