Shawmac,
If I had what you described I would leave AA in a heartbeat. I guess I should count my blessings.
I do disagree that stamp collecting cannot be a religion. Have you ever been a member of a church?
How close are you to a large city like Charlotte?
You can't blame the bible belt thing because no where in more bible belt than lower Alabama.
At any rate I hope you find what you are looking for. This board is a great help.
