Sounds great, Lynn. I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for your work administering this forum. I hope it makes you feel good that you are offering such a wonderful service to us who use it. I am soooooo glad I found this place before getting braces. Although I've only been braced for 3 months, the road his been smoothed tremendously for me because of all the good folks who post here.
