aunt connie here, toothpaste is a very important topic, I had to stop using toothpaste a few years ago because they made them so pepperminty that my mouth would break out and my lips would get all swollen. I had to use baking soda, but I found Tom's toothpaste that is all natural and doens't have sorbital in it, that is what causes toothpaste to foam up and It Is So MUch Fun to brush my teeth again, I can brush for hours now!!!! Thanks for the birthday list. We are well here, fixing to put in new floors and so of course my crazy husband says we HAVE to paint the walls before we change out the floors. Oh Lordy I am going to be tired. all for now, lots of love.
