Thanks to everyone but....Well - no luck at all and the District Mgr. refuses to refund after I'd taken the class. So I now have a "credit" at the store for another class. Don't think that will happen. And all the other ladies were called that were in the class and just "raved" about how much fun they had etc., etc., etc., so I got stuck - literally. I have had a lot of wonderful suggestions from everyone and I REALLY appreciate them. I will follow up and start of the trek of becoming self taught. There are a couple of LQS's that I can go to as well. The heck with Hancock. I'll end this diatribe and move onto better topics. Not one that aggrivates the daylights out of me. Thank you everyone for your support and "ears" and advice. :-)
