Isn't there a closet industry of interesting AN products going on here somewhere? It seems to me that a BAHA bike helmet would be a great new product. Maybe even a model for TransEar?

DHM,

Jan told me that if something happens to her, she's sending the kids to live with you!   ;D  Twin teenagers - how hard can that be?   :D

I'm hoping for something a little on the plain side for a helmet....but if I had to get a Disney character - I'd have to go with Tigger.  Or maybe Goofy would be more appropriate.  And before anyone bothers to type it - it won't be Dopey!!!

Lori:  way to go on the biking ! !  I'm still a bit scared to try, so I've started Yoga - I can't help chuckling every time I 'keel over !'

I have to say I'm impressed with all of you who can ride a bike.  I haven't gotten up the nerve to try yet -- I can ride a exercise bike though and I don't need a helmet for that.  ;D   I too am a bad example to my kids, I never used a helmet when I did go bike riding.  After reading all the comments here, I may have to change my ways before I try to ride a bike that moves.  Congratulations to those of you brave enough to get out there and ride.  If I ever feel up to it again, my real goal is to go horseback riding again.  I haven't gone in years, but since finding out about my AN last year and  having surgery, etc., I'm kind of obsessed with the idea.  I guess I'll need a helmet for that too though.

Nancy,

We should go to yoga together!  I nearly knocked the whole back row of people over like dominoes when I tried to balance on one foot!  We could start our own "full contact yoga" class!   :D

Wendy - definitely wear a helmet for horseback riding!

DHM - so many choices......

Lori:  that is too funny ('full contact Yoga' !).  Isn't it funny how you just keel over with certain moves ?
I'm keeping at it to continue to improve my balance (which is pretty good if I do say so !).

Always good thoughts,  Nancy
