    That's interesting as I had no idea that volunteers could do this!
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    Completely agree, quite frankly you should be thanked for what you do, not questioned on your ability to earn money from it.
