I have to keep this stupid expander on for 6 more weeks! Grr. I was hoping since I've been careful with it they might bump up the date for when i get it off. But, sadly, no. At least I can talk almost normally now...watch, I'll have mastered talking with this thing one and then they'll just take it right off. Yep, that's how it'll be. *Sigh* I hate my mouth...
