AMEN! Thanks for the reminder. I need to say it again. AMEN!
right back to you! 
I think your name must mean you like NASCAR. I need someone to tell I heard that another driver called Jeff Gordon a crybaby for complaining that Jr (my fav driver) didn't help him enough in the race. My friends are Gordon fans so I couldn't 
with them about it. My Mom has always called Jeffie a crybaby!I know you care. We're sticking together. I think that's what I was warned about...getting involved with threads with the goal of causing problems/controversary. Then the people sticking up for the innocent get the axe. I still cannot get the point of that. It's like cyber bullying.
I did not see the signatures...I haven't been many places on the boards.
Thanks for your warm wishes. I just got the call from my cousin that my aunt passed away about 15 minutes ago. I'm amazed that she held on so long.
Now I'm just sad.
Take care of yourself.Pikester: I'm so glad you joined in. Thanks for caring. Sounds like you need a caring dentist. I'm putting off going myself right now. Magsnden will help you out. Isn't it great to have so many talented friends here?

I just started to listen to the podcasts a couple of months ago.

in June) there wasn't alot of attention given to kids teeth as there is now. New moms are told to wipe out their babies mouths with cloth after a bottle feeding or to buy special gum brushes, etc. My DS10 has been seeing a dentist since he was 4, some will say he should have gone earlier, and he has been great. As my DS7 approached the age of 4 we started letting him go in the room with DS10 so he could see that it wasn't scary. DS7 showed no interest in sitting in the chair or having his teeth counted. The dentist office kept saying "No problem. We'll try again in six months." So this went on until he was 5. Finally, without even trying to push him into trying to get into the chair, they told me he needed to see a Pediatric Dentist (This was without an exam of any kind). Of course the closest one being an hour away. I was so angry then. It wasn't like he totally flipped out over having to see the dentist. The denstists office just tiptoed around the issue without pushing it. So, we ended up taking him to my husbands dentist (this dentist is near where my husband works so that he doesn't have to get out of work too early for appts). DS7 was wonderful. He had a great appt and the usual brush, floss speech was given. My DS7 has been to this dentist probably 4 or 5 times. At his last appt 2 months ago we were told that his teeth were showing signs of decay. OK. What exactly does that mean? We had to go in for a consultation with the Dentist. When his teeth are cleaned it's the hygenist doing that but I guess the dentist doesn't even stop by for a quick look. So, we make an appt for that but end up having to postpone due to horrible weather that we were having. The postponed appt was yesterday. The dentist confirms the decay saying DS7 needs to see a pediatric dentist and hour away because he will need extensive repairs done to his baby teeth and atleast one six year molar that has been coming in. WTH! How did his teeth decay so much. I was practically bawling during the meeting. I am one of those people that cries ecspecially when I am mad. I feel like the WORST MOM EVER! Unfortunatly I think my son has inherited my soft teeth, my sweettooth and being the 2nd child; was brushing his teeth by himself before he should have been. There is no getting his teeth back to what they were. There is only fixing what we can and protecting the rest of his adult teeth. I can only pray that we have caught this in time. I've just made an appt for him on May 16th so I hope this is the start of something good. 
Just teasing...and I promise not to avoid you like I do my own dentist.
