Extra, Extra!
By the time I find out about a locally-filmed TV series searching for extras, it's too late to participate. Do you have any advice on staying up-to-date on these notices? I'm not an actor, just a woman with a bucket list. Thanks!

Neighbor to Neighbor
My neighbor's 40-year-old daughter is struggling with drug addiction. I would like to offer my neighbor help beyond being a shoulder to cry on. Can anyone recommend a support group or counselor for parents coping with an adult child's drug addiction? Would AL-ANON be a good fit? They are Catholic and are open to faith-based services. Your feedback is really appreciated.

Tile File
From Virginie Lasnier: REPLY
My bathroom tiles are modern, but the color is awful - yellow and black. Should I remove and re-tile or refinish/paint the tiles? I have never refinished/painted so I don't know if it lasts, how it looks or how much it costs. I'd love to hear your advice. Thanks!

Ping Pong ProblemsFrom Brenda Moreira: REPLY Our ping pong table is in need of some repairs as the wind knocked it over causing some of the edges to crack and the net to break. I have been unsuccessful in getting information from the manufacturer or the store where it was purchased as to where I can have it repaired. If you have any suggestions, I would love to hear from you. Thanks!
