Guest guest Posted October 17, 2001 Report Share Posted October 17, 2001 Liane, Right now I'd settle for a good bout of the runs. I have the same insurance carrier that Hawkins has...the one that changed their policy as of last Friday...that you have to go through their medically supervised fast! Been there...done that...it was 6 years ago, though....I don't know. Looks like the DS dream has just been shot in the head. Blue and whining...
