She's going to ready to kick some butt when she grows up! Bob, you won't have to worry about boys around Nila, she'll be able to handle them on her own. Did you guys by chance inquire as to how much lessons were for kids in her age group? I can just visualize this taking place in my mind, Nila doing kicks and punches. I wish that they would let you have a copy of the video they made. Oh, that's just too cool. Go Nila! That’s my Nila. She’s going to ready to kick some butt when she grows up!

"Presentation". A presentation is nothing more than public speaking which means you go back to "Public speaking 101" and review all of your notes. Organize your thoughts. Get them in order. Opening, Body, Summary, Closing. You are past the point of KNOWING you can do the job AND they WANT you to do the job, now all you have to do is give a speech. Which you've done a thousand times about 50 million different subjects. You know the basics of practicing in front of a mirror when you are giving a speech or presentation. Just do what comes natually to you, Angie and you too Bob. Just think Bob, you could give this presentation in several langauages if they wanted it that way! This is the easy part for you guys, you've laid the ground work, and put all of your time, money and effort into it, and they WANT you to do it! The hard part is when you get it and you actually have to REALLY start working then. HaHa. You'll wish for the good ole days of only 15 hr work days then. PS....Don't forget to get up off of the rails when the train comes and remember not to be at the bus stop instead. LOL. Love, Mom Okay, you mentioned the key word….. “Presentation”.

I mentioned how strange I'd been feeling and how I thought (though I didn't know what they would feel like) that I might be having seizures, though it seemed like just strange sensations? You're the one who said, "Um Hello. You're NOT crazy - go to a neurologist. I felt the same way before my MS diag." ;-) I ALWAYS remember that night when I think I'm a little wacky, because talking with you that night was the first time I thought I wasn't actually going insane, and that there might be something medically wrong with me. Thanks again (though I never said thanks the first time). Jessica,

I'm on meds. Had an EEG ( my 3rd, so much fun!) to try to go off meds, but my dr saw enough activity that she didn't think I should go off of them. I really don't like being on them. They make my brain feel fuzzy a lot of the time. I'm surprised you went off meds at all! The one I'm on wasn't supposed to cause weight loss, but it did. Maybe you'll get that one benefit back! You'll have to buy a smaller helmet. Of course, I've gained some of it back. Then you'll have to buy a different sized helmet. Anyway, all this to say I can relate.

I'll be thinking about you. But I also know that you will handle this just like you do in everything else in your life. You will pray about it and do what you have to do, for yourself and your wonderful family! I don't watch Bart Simpson so I don't understand the relationship, but if you would quote Archie Bunker, then I'd understand, As for wall padding, I have some bubble wrap, want it?
