   blessedt1d replied to MichyMich's topic in Michigan

   blessedt1d replied to MichyMich's topic in Michigan

   Hypothetically, "If I was 38 in my ranking will I be starting in August?" I didn't even know what to do with myself. That guy was killing me. I chalked it up to gender (no offense guys), and questioned how he placed so well given that, he either coul...

   blessedt1d replied to blessedt1d's topic in Michigan

   Gemberly, I am so sorry about your child. I was almost there myself and am thankful every day that things turned out the way that they did. Type 1 is no big shakes compared to the alternative. Many children go unsafe at school who have medical needs ...

   blessedt1d replied to shannonmarie7's topic in Michigan

   Hey Toxicshock, I don't know what kind of criteria they would use. I would hope that it would not be based on appearance in any way shape or form. I don't know that it would have to be formal experience as much as it should be based on the heart. Com...
