Title: 3 years....
Post by: Joef on August 21, 2008, 11:00:32 am

I just got back from a lunch run ... and while looking in the rear view mirror ... I tried to force a good smile ... (I do this once in a while to see if there is improvement) ... and all of a sudden my check muscles tighten up -- I look again and my smile is kind of pulled up ... it about 20 second later it relaxes... once I'm home I look in the bathroom mirror and make a show my teeth smile ... and I see more teeth!! Improvement !!! .. 3 years !!! its been a long time -- but as long as there is improvement - that's enough to keep the spirits up!!   ;D  ;D

Joe,
  Congratulations on the imporvement. 3 years, sheesh, it makes you wonder what takes so freaking long.  But it's good to know that it does improve with time.
Regards,

Way to go Joe!  Those fish will love the bait on your hooks with that bigger smile! :)  Where there is a smile, there is hope!.  Great news, Joe.

May the smile be with you,
Brenda

Brenda, Wendy and Satman,
You are all awake way too early. (Or you stayed up all night.)  Of course I'm up too; is it an AN thing?
