Kissiemo-Welcome to AnnTheGran (ATG). We all have a time problem and I suggest that this site is one of the best for getting good information in a reasonable amount of time. You will find the search option to be a big help. Search in the forum area for information and search in the 'Shop' area for purchases. They are on two different computers.
Ann's Club is a great method to save a lot of money. When you join for 3 months to 2 years, you will have an account that you will find when you go to the "Home" link (in the pink area above). Then go to 'kissiemo account' (after the cart icon) and then select 'club goodies.' You can see what is available there.
Read as much as you have time to; post your questions in the Forum; and then read some more. This site is a wealth of information and you will learn a great deal here.
