  Hi Leah, Hi Tammy!
  
  Working from home?  My wife operates a home-based word processing and 
transcription service.  She also takes in student work and writes resumes.  
It isn't making us rich, but it is flexible enough for her to arrange her 
hours so she can care for our three sons, ages 6, 4, & 1 year old.
  Her day job is taking care of the children.  (grin)
  My day job is in sales/marketing for an industrial distribution group.
  At night I help with her marketing, and I am the backup typist.  We also 
type forms, like job applications and college entrance applications.  Some of 
those forms require the use of a typewriter, particularly multi-part forms.  
Not many WP services will type forms, so you can pretty much name your price.
  We are members of a business services association, a group of independent 
business people working in word processing, desktop publishing, graphics, and 
internet web page design.  Most of the members are women operating home-based 
businesses.  The different specialties allow us to refer clients to other 
associates for different jobs.  It's better than sending our clients out to 
competitors.
  We also have a newsletter for people in the word processing business.  We 
try to present the kind of information useful to people who are just starting 
out as well as for those who are in business for a while.
  If you are interested in word processing or desktop publishing, you can 
also lurk in the INK echo on FIDO, which specializes in WP/DTP topics.
  Be seeing ya!
