Not so. Being paid for your work makes you a professional, seems to me. So if a tooning is $20, then the lesson would be around $10, at a similar rate, which means that the tooner, tooning one out of around 27 lessons (estimated by random guess), would have to have... let's see... about 187 lessons a week to live in California - give or take, depending, or not. > Anyone know where I can get a good voodoo doll? Low mileage used, or custom new? Got a PIN number? Ron N
