Hey Tizz, I would like to add one more comment, I was in a department store today and the sales clerk asked "Did you just come from the dentist"?, I asked her why she asked me that, I was polite. She said "You have marks on you". I told her I had cancer, etc. and she was very taken aback and sorry, .....So I guess the lazer didn't work any miracles on me!!! SMILE!!!! If you don't have anything nice to say, DON'T say anything at all!!!!!I try to live by those words!
Have a great day Tizz! Carol
