Well Hiya back! =)

Yes.

But you did lose me for a minute.

Whoa, whoa, whoa... I'm confused now. What?

What are you on medications for?

If it isn't life-threatening you should try to wean yourself =S

Aren't you part of the major trade missions?

You also have Canada on the other side. You could learn things from Fencergrl (although I am not sure if I would approve of my 15 year old daughter learning a lot from her).

At least you can see Russia from your porch.
.
Experiencing the world is the important part,

Maybe you should become a vegateran like me.

Travel is highly recommended. We have taken the kids to a variety of places and they have learned so much.

Of course, that was before fencing started draining the finances. Now have to consider how to pay for international competitions.

Do you have a condition? If not and this has never happened before... GO TO THE DOCTOR. NOW.

I've passed out before, though. But it's always been when my asthma has been really bad, and I stand up too fast like you did.

When did you black out?!
