T, I like your dedication in providing this info. However, you might want to check out “Westerly” a little closer. If you’re accepted, you must buy a subscription!!! Sounds like payment to me. XXOOO JC
I saw that, but that’s only if you’re accepted and they just take it from the payment, which is generous and typically over $100.
