It seems like a nervous tic.<br /><br />Yes - the surgery itself doesn't sound too bad and will alleviate medicine costs, but we know of someone who suffered brain damage during routine dental anesthesia and so any surgery makes me nervous now.Wendy Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00617610975455575846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7506500163088597840.post-10399547497489867542012-05-02T14:37:28.319-07:002012-05-02T14:37:28.319-07:00Warts are horrible.

It was gross. <br /><br />As far as the lips, is there a something that tastes bad like you can use for nail biting? Though that sounds a little cruel.
