Hello Meloho! I live in Winnipeg, so we sure are close on the map. I'm a 44 year old female, and have lived here all my life. Can you believe the weather we're having??? :shock: Tornadoes everywhere it seems!

Kiwi,

I have been wearing elastics from almost day one about 29 months ago and my bite is just now where it should be. Hang in there- it will happen. :)
