I look forward to meeting you all.

hope you recovery is quick and painless

[illinoishusker 0]

Well I certainly hope you heal fast!

I am praying they approve me, but then I'm afraid to fail, you know?

I feel like I've failed so many times and I always start out pumped and then slide.

I want this to work, but obviously wanting doesn't make it happen. sigh.

I too am from Illinois, around the Illinois River in Naples, A town soooo small that if you blink you miss it. I am really excited to see people from this area on this forum:cool2:

One more from Illinois, Ashkum (south of Kankakee off hwy57). Not banded yet still finishing my tests, most likely the first part of September. Good luck.
