That's great! :-)
My Mom's feet looks like it has bunions, but she isn't in any pain. Are bunions caused by ill-fitting shoes?

Me too. My Mom keeps telling me how great this dentist is because he has a lot of experience. I don't really like him much. We never discuss my teeth. He never talks about prevention or anything.
My Mom wants me to try some Chinese medicine for my toothache. She truly believes I have pain because I have too much "heat" right now. I need to drink "cooling" medicine and teas to counter the "heat". I don't really believe in this heat stuff...but I'll drink the medicine nonetheless.
