I am completely drained and still woosy right now. Laid up in bed for the night. I am not touching my guitar tonight, just hanging with the lap top.

I had such a horrible nightmare last night plus what happened today, the only good thing is the melanoma is now gone. It was a red spot that appeared about three weeks ago, I was surprised it was a melanoma, it looked more like a basil cell.

Given my history of skin cancer I'll have to keep a watch out, which I did this time again. It was called a superficial spreading melanoma that was just on the surface of my skin.

Anyway, not a cheerful post, but hopefully a happy ending. I have experienced panic attacks but never the feeling of almost fainting...jeez.

Hope you all have/had a better day.

Get feelin' really Great reel fast BRo...

That is great to hear in this day and age. Congrats to him.

I keep thinking that with all these computers, ipads, ipeds, ipids, ipods, ipuds, etc.... that kids won't even know what a book is. Reminds me of Jon Lovitz in High School High where he shows the class a book and says "this is a book. It opens like this" and all the kids ahhh and ooooh.

Awww..that brings back such memories for me. My son loved read and would get so excited over the book fairs at school. Keep encouraging him to read because it really helps his comprehension in so many ways. My son has been in AP classes since elementary school and I believe his strong love for books helped him test higher than average.

YEAH MAX!!

Gracias Seeniorita!

Tu eres muy amable.

See? I'm learning Spanish now. Maybe my desire to learn another language will improve my reading comprehension, as I've been going "huh??" more and more often on this forum.

You are right though, I've been reading to my son for a long time already and he is so sharp. Still struggling with fine motor skills as a lefty, but we'll keep practicing.

Bueno para usted aprendiendo español!! Although I'm not sure learning Spanish is going to help you comprehend some of the stuff in this forum. "Huh??" is a universal language around here!

My son is a lefty too! Even though he is in high school, his handwriting leaves alot to be desired. I can't tell if it's because he's left-handed or just lazy.....

What hand does he use to cut? I'm having a real struggle with him and using scissors.
