Perhaps you know someone to which she can be referred.
RJDiogenes
RJDiogenes, is, unfashionably, a heterosexual white male. He is still single, despite the recent landmark court ruling that allows atheists to marry. A lifelong Bohemian, he finds himself in the odd position of managing an urban midwifery service. His favorite author is Arthur C Clarke; his favorite movie is Casablanca; his favorite song is "The 59th Street Bridge Song"; If he was a tree, he'd be one of the talking ones from HR Pufnstuf.He is also the author of a volume of poetry, Large In Time, and a volume of short stories, The RH Factor. For those who can't get enough of his moderating skills, he can also be found keeping things under control at KellyzKorner and TrekBBS.
AstroSmurf
Born to a happy hippy and a psychologist, AstroSmurf made his way into the world searching out things to try and enjoy. Armed with an insatiable curiosity and a talent for mischief, he has spent the last thirty years trying to learn and experience everything that this world has to offer. But hardly a hedonistic glutton or a straight arrow, this strange soul spends his time balancing his love of the unknown while alphabetizing the canned goods in his pantry. And with his love of beer and a magical ability to find the most fantastic shoes at discount prices he has also worked his way into the hearts and minds of law enforcement in several states.At the moment AstroSmurf is busy working as a graphic designer, interior decorator and photographer. He has also worked as a journalist, actor and a theater director/producer/writer/designer. In his free time he likes to paint and quietly work on a novel that will never see the light of day. He also has a great love of film and television of all kinds. His dream is to one day write and direct his own independent film. To that end he is looking for a tree that grows money.
He also likes pie especially if it has ice cream on it (cheesecake too) but a nice fresh cookie will do in a pinch. And he is fascinated by monkeys.
