Being that Obama was such a hit a year ago, &amp; his likeability has all but vanished, I was wondering if anyone besides me still likes him?

			<description><![CDATA[ I have been reading many of your posts and enjoying them immensely. It appears many have been together for a long time. I have just been diagnosed with
sporadic ataxia. I am still trying to learn about it. It will be nice to chat with others that can understand how I am feeling and what I am going through. You
appear to be a wonderful family and I hope at some point I will be welcomed as a true member. It is something I would like to earn.

<br>
<br>
About ataxia I was at the computer and got up and of course I had a gait but during it trying to get to small couch from longer one
<br>
I felt myself twisting,my boyfriend had to help me even,fell off the couch once but once there I just laid to get my feelings back.
<br>
Then after I was able to sit up.  That was something, never twisted before. took a antivert a little later.

<br>
Hi Ed,
<br>
 
<br>
Another good day.  Cooler but sunny.  The grass in the backyard was wet this morning, but after lunch, it was dry enough to mow.  After mowing, I decided to
hoe the front garden, and then to pull weeds in the backyard.  I then came into the house and had a nap.

			<description><![CDATA[ <p>Hi folks,
<br>
<br>
I have come to the conclusion that as Ataxics we find using the Chat Room too much of a challenge.  Personally, as my symptoms of SCA6 progress, even the
typing of this message is one that is a challenge.  I find trying to keep up on a chat line  very difficult since my hand co-ordination is poor.  At least,
when I type in a forum, I can take my time and correct or spell check accordingly.
<br>

Don&#39;t get me wrong. I am not angry.  I have finally come to the... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi folks,
<br>
<br>
Is it just me?  Am I too busy to post?  I do keep busy and probably due to the fact that I am working on a family tree on my mother&#39;s side of the family
and generally trying to keep busy around the house. I feel that I should be communication more with you people.
<br>
<br>
Healthwise, I now have trouble using a cane.  To stop me from losing my balance, I have to hang on to someone&#39;s arm.  You should see me working outside my
house because I use my rollator to get... ]]></description>

well for me. Then I watched the View and The Rachael Ray show. I worked on cleaning up some paperwork and throwing out what I do not need. I am also chroceting
a blanket for my bed. This evening my hubby and I went for our semi annual dental checkup.

I thought it might be nice to share stories about our day.
