Sabrina,

I remember early in the days of wooing my wife, I used to send her emails with Japanese and she would respond with some Russian. Just to throw a loop I once sent an email that started eieio. She pondered that for a while and when I told here there was no Japanese and what it really meant, she busted a gut. Your starting of your email reminded me of that. Thanks for the smile!

I can not take any of the cox type inhibitors for very long because I sometimes start getting sores in my mouth and they progress down my throat. I found out I was one of the lucky 1 in 100,000 with THAT problem. I went with the Naproxen and Flexeril route, the Ibuprofin route, neurontin...what else? I just hope your husband is not making fun of my dead hair! I haven't cut it the past year since it started filling in and getting curly and it looks quite alive!
