I agree with Bish. "It's just legalese" is the legally binding version of "I'm just saying."

peter & lee - not that i can argue any of your points - because i can't - they are good ones - but my gut tells me this is something i should do. i get a good feeling from dr. patel -- i FEEL like she's genuine and in it to help - so i'll give up 1/2 a day over the course of a week or so to read out loud for her.

if you should hear robot-me on the subway saying "next stop 143rd street" ... don't tell me.

That's good. I don't mean to suggest that you shouldn't do it, just that you go into it with your eyes open, which it seems pretty evident you are.

Scott, a lovely story and I've forwarded it to friends who have a young daughter with cerebral palsy in the hopes that it's in their future.

However, just a reminder to not dig up 3 year old threads to make a new point. This story holds up on its own and would be great to start a fresh thread.

Thanks!
