Forgive me as I'm a little late to this post, I blame school work but very happy to hear the great news Mrs. Mary. Hope it keeps on coming!

Thanks sweet young Alen. You've been so supportive of us. We truly appreciate it! You rock kiddo.

Wow - BUSY day! Hope your ulcer is better now and your grades are up. :up:

It's been better now. Haven't had an instance since then. It was about 6 years before that last one so it was due. Graduated so grades are pretty much as-is now. Just re-taking the MCAT again this March. Keep us updated! :up:

Good luck on MCAT. You'll do fine.
Glad you're feeling better Seth.

Can everyone shoot prayers this way for my 12 year old daughter Meghan so she heals quickly and relatively painlessly. She broke her nose at school yesterday, playing basketball in gym class. She got hit in the nose with one of the basketballs. Thanks as always.

Tell her I hope it's better soon.
Hope you're doing well girl!

Thanks Deb. I will as soon as they come home from school (in about half an hour - half day today, no school tomorrow). We're doing better than expected, thank you very much. :up:

You got my prayers. I know those can hurt pretty badly.

שיהיה לכם שלום בית

Hoping for a good epilogue Ms. Mary.

Thanks Mike. :up: She's doing better but she's in alot of pain. She has meds though - so, since school is closed today, she's camping out on the couch and using every bit of her childish charms to get her way.

Show her the episode of The Brady Bunch where Marsha gets her nose broken. Help her laugh through the situation.

That was a great idea Opie. Thanks! I showed it to her last night. Me and her sister watched it with her and then we talked about "appearances" after. She feels much better and said this morning that because of that she's not ashamed to go to school anymore and even went on a school field trip today to Rutgers. While she's there she's getting her medal for being the number 1 6th grade reader in Essex County. She already got a certificate from her principal at school in a schoolwide assembly and she's being sent a letter from Newark Mayor Cory Booker.

That's just wonderful Mary.
Tell her congrats from me.
I know you must be so proud.

Opie is WAAAAAAAAAAy smarter than he lets on, isn't he? (he's just a sweetie)

This is really wonderful news Mary. She's on the right path. Keep her interest in reading so she will learn, learn and learn more.

Thanks Deb - I'm like a peacock - strutting around telling everyone I can - when her teacher initially called me to tell me - I called everyone I could (except you cause I forgot your number - PM it to me please love). I also let the Assemblywoman know and she said there's no way we can allow this intelligent a child to be put out on the street. :up:

And we all love Opie - and I remember that episode from The Brady Bunch so vividly, but didn't even think to show it to Megs until he mentioned it. :knucks:

Don't let that become common knowledge.

Thanks Kev. I remember when we were growing up - I had 4 sisters and 1 brother - we were all reading fanatics. My oldest sister, Karen, used to walk around the house reading books, reading while she was cooking, reading while visiting the "research room", etc. (that's what hubby calls it). That's why I foster their reading so much. I tell them every day - you never stop learning.

Reading was the key for me as well. I was always in the "blue" group (the highest rank) in 1st through 3rd grades. My parents started me reading Dr Suess books at age 3, and by the time I was in the 7th grade, I was tested at a 1st year of college reading comprehension. Get them started early, set aside reading time without TV or radio or computers on, and they will shine.

I was a huge reader as a child. I was reading novels (mostly Steven King) by the time I was 13. Learned a lot of bad language that way.

I read all of Ayn Rand's novels.....my favorite novel to this day is her 1st major novel from 1931 called "We the Living". Kira is one of the all time great heroines in literature.
