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

Neighbor to Neighbor
My neighbor's 40-something-year-old daughter is a lifelong drug addict, presently abusing pills and crack cocaine. She has brought so much pain and chaos to her family - they are spent emotionally and financially. Nothing has worked. 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.
