Nods at Laurie...

and thanks Cinnamon!


...now back to my regular scheduled program...work...work...work...

I think they said that the bottoms will go on around the 2nd or 3rd appointment. And he said they'd come off probably around 2 years...give or take a couple of months or so. I'd say probably a little bit longer than 2 years. I think he was just trying to keep from scaring me by telling me it could b...

Thank you...and I'm not really worried about it. Unless someone is using it for their voodoo doll and pushing pins through it...that might concern me....

Thanks!! I'm pretty sure that I found great company here...

That people put on their own ligs...

I had heard about this, but I had never considered how it could impact some the posters here. Thanks for the post...
