Dear Sun Spots: You and your readers have been helpful in the past and I am wondering if you could help me again. I am unable to leave my house due to multiple sclerosis. I was wondering if you know of someone or if there is someone out there reading this that does in-home haircuts and related services. Since I cannot leave my home, it makes it hard to have this service done. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again, (207) 966-2160. – Kelly Pare, Minot.
