I just want to make a quick shout out to some very cool people who were mentioned in Forbes “Digg This Headline, For Googles’s Sake”
With all the recent tabloid garbage floating around the SEM blogosphere it is refreshing to see some positive reporting.
I am writing this post at the end of one of my most memorable weeks ever. For nine months my wife Jamey and I have prepared only as much as we could for one of the biggest changes in our lives.
Through all of our months of anxiety and anticipation and downright impatience, our newly born daughter has finally arrived into this world on September 29, 2007. I now present to you, Miss Abigail Jane Sussman. To view more pics at the end of this video, Click Here.
If there is one thing I hate about
Nothing screams “LOOK AT ME” more than a B rated actress trying to be all incognito wearing a baseball cap and huge bug eyed glass’s while carrying a stupid little dog like a purse accessory.
Yes, I am a pet person and I love dogs but seeing these women while waiting in line to get coffee drives me up the wall. What drives me even more crazy is how they come off like they don’t really want to be noticed, but if you truly don’t acknowledge them they make sure you do by putting on a little scene with their stupid little dogs.
Since when did it become acceptable to bring dogs into restaurants? I am not talking about sitting outside with your dog under the table. I am talking about women bringing dogs inside the restaurants and sticking them in the corner of the booth like their tossing a purse.
This is one of the dumbest trends I’ve seen to hit
Seriously dogs are meant to walk along the side of you. They’re meant to chase other dogs and do things that dogs have been doing since we domesticated them. They’re meant to lick their own ass and the asses of other dogs with dignity!
Dogs are not meant to be stuck inside a women’s purse or match their owners shoes!
As much as I hate to say it, but this is job for Dick Masterson.
My “Embed YouTube Videos In WordPress” blog post generates a ton of traffic to this website every day. What I have found interesting is that so many people have trouble with such a simple process.
Well, recently I have found out not all web browsers are created equal when it comes to operating the Wordpress Admin, specifically certain browsers that operate on a Mac.
For some strange reason certain versions of Safari on the Mac do not allows users to change from the Visual Editor to Code View when managing or writing a new post. I now also have seen this with certain versions of Firefox on the Mac.
My suggestion, if things are not working like they should in the Wordpress Admin , make sure you have updated your browser to the most current version. If things still don’t work, switch to another browser.
Even the new air conditioning unit is having trouble keeping the house temperature to a respectable level.
We had to do something, especially since my wife is 9 months pregnant and she is naturally several degrees warmer than I am.
So we picked up a Vornado for a hundred bucks as it claims to circulate the air. I kid you not, we have this fan on its lowest speed and our bedroom is probably 10 – 15 degrees cooler than any other room in the house.
A police officer decides to make brownies out of the marijuana he confiscated. Both he and his wife end up getting a little too high, wigs out and calls 911.
One word can rap up this entire experience: OUCH!
A few weeks ago one of my old fillings came loose and fell out while eating. So I made my way over to the dentist to have a look. As it turned out the filling fell out because food found its way deep in the hole causing a wider gap.
My dentist jacked me up with Novocain along the right side of my mouth in order to drill deeper and then repair with a new filling.
This was a routine procedure and one I have had a few times since those fillings I had from the ’80’s were getting old.
Typically I have found the numbness of Novocain wares off after a few hours following a procedure. In this case the numbness continued to increase as the day went on.
The following morning I called my dentist to inform him the right side of my mouth is numb and I could not feel my tongue. I could move my tongue around but it was like moving a lame fat muscle.
I was told that in rare events a Novocain injection could traumatize nerves in or around the tongue causing temporary paralysis that can last from a few hours up to a few months. In some rare instances it may never go away.
Over the past week the pain has been excruciating. Just yesterday I was eating a BBQ potato chip and for a second I thought I sliced my tongue with a razor blade. After checking it out in the mirror it appeared I did nothing to my tongue at all.
One of the big problems is because I can not feel my tongue there are times when I am biting down on it and I don’t realize it till I taste the blood.
Finally I headed back to my dentist and he explained to me there was nothing he could do. But I asked him to create me a plastic mouth guard to prevent my tongue from touching my teeth because every time they connected it felt like razor blades to my tongue.
I am now wearing a plastic guard which seems to help with that awful slicing sensation.
I’ve done some research on the web and there are a few posts regarding this rare consequence of a Novocain treatment but it is so rare there is really not much out there. As my dentist said, I should play the lottery because that’s the odds of something like this going wrong. (He is a cool dentist and I actually felt bad for him because I know he did nothing wrong).
It’s not easy to describe the pain but here are the symptoms
The promising news is I have much more sensation than I did a week ago. The tongue is no longer lame and I can feel it repairing itself. The crappy thing is, as the nerves are repairing themselves my tongue is now extremely sore due to all the chomping I have done on it.
While at the Woodland Hills, CA BestBuy I made a purchase with my credit card. By habit I had my ID ready to show when checking out but the manager on shift told me that BestBuy and stores like them no longer are allowed to ask and check peoples ID’s.
“So I can come in here and make a purchase on someone else’s credit and you have no idea if I stole it?”
The manager said it’s a new policy. “We are not allowed to ask people for ID’s anymore.”
I looked over at Becky, aka WebMoxy who happened to be shopping with me at the time and we were in disbelief. So we asked someone else in the store if that was really true. That person said if anyone in the store has the facts correct it was the manager we originally spoke with.
What is that all about?
