Guest guest Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 never had a blowout with Lacktulose - but we only gave her a 1/2 a dose once a day.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 It must be really hard to lose a husband at such a young age with little ones still to raise. I can only imagine. You must be a strong person when it comes to stuff like that. <br> > > > > > > > > > > > > From: jhockel@ <jhockel@> > > > > > > Subject: Re: Teeth (8) MDS > > > > > > To: MosaicDS <MosaicDS% 40yahoogroups.com> > <MosaicDS% > > > 40yahoogroups.com> > > > > > > Date: Thursday, August 28, 2008, 4:00 AM > > > > > > > > > > > > Oops, that's " orthodontics, " not " orthodintics, " which > might > > > > be > > > > > a new > > > > > > specialty that deals with dinky teeth. > > > > > > > > > > > > Judie, mom to Christi, 29 and others > > > > > > > > > > > > ************ ** > > > > > > It's only a deal if it's where you want to go.
