Frustration and Solutions

I've been totally frustrated trying to organize our poetry booklet of 60+ poems and keep everyone happy-including myself. But what has really thrown me is how to print it off. The more I thought about it, the more frustrated I got so much so that my brain started to close down. Then an answer to prayer came to contact a neighbor of mine who does the church directory that is the same size as our poetry booklet and is stapled together.

We've decided to do 200 copies instead of 300 which helps relieve some pressure, but that's still a ton of paper and work. At our Writer's Wordshop last Monday we decided to print it double sided to save paper but I couldn't figure out how to put that on the computer (two half pages to a 8.5 X 11 sheet of paper) with page numbers and have it come out printed back to back in order. Just try thinking through that for a little while. But after talking to my neighbor, he said he didn't know how to do it either but had a computer file that was set up for printing it off correctly. He emailed me the file and it seems to be working. Amazing, there is always some solution if you don't give up. 

Tell us about some problem you've solved lately, besides who is going to make the best president. Thanks Leona for ASAP-always say a prayer. He does answer...
