Guest guest Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Does he do root canal work? -- Life is too short to wake up with regrets. Love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy. They just promised it would be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
