Lorine; My apologies on the comment re "nothing worthwhile." I don't know what I was even thinking about when I wrote that remark as I certainly don't feel that way about Olive Tree. I also apologize for opening up the entire can of worms. I don't usually react that way to a situation and I will not say that I have a reason for doing it this time. It was just bad judgment on my part. I do honestly think though that your pages are constructed somewhat on the confusing side, perhaps a little too busy. One entry close to the top of the page that I clicked on your link to in the message clearly said that is was for free ships data bases. However, when I clicked on it I got another Olive Tree page that was, to me, really unclear. I did eventually click on what I thought might get me to where I wanted to go and got a 3rd Olive Tree page that listed broad categories of lists with, I think, Specific country from and to selections on the left side and on the right side a selection of states. I selected 'South Carolina and I got the application form. This happened one or two more attempts at clicking on certain combinations. Another time I did get a list of states but it did not list South Carolina. I did try MD and VA but drew blanks when I searched on names. Of course I have been at this game long enough to be used to that.
