...peace Jules i've been having a problem in the last week or two: when i click on "show unread messages" it's been saying there aren't any to show,even when there are more than a few new things posted on the board...... btw there was a post a while ago in another thread about the pros and cons of root canal.well my girlfriends' filling chipped a few weeks ago and we dumbly didn't do anything about it because she wasn't in any great pain...until last night, we were up all night and had to go to the dentist today.she is scared to death of the dentist.it was quite a production.well they gave her some pills and she nodded out,they did some work,now she's pain free at home sleeping like a baby.it cost a pretty penny but i'm happy she got through it.from what i've seen if she can get through root canal most anyone can.that's all...peace
