Kock Knock, Motherfucker! by @TheBloggess
A while back, @TheBloggess had me ROFLMAO with her giant metal chicken story and follow up. I even put the necklace on my Wish List. So, when I went to help a friend with a little photography project, I almost ran off the road upon sighting this entire family of metal chickens in an array […]

Put Up or Shut Up
With the support of another member (and some help from E), I volunteered to upgrade a website that was at least a decade old. Generally, pictures from 5 years ago were the most recent additions. (There are a couple of isolated exceptions.) The site can’t grow for the membership of the group in the HTML […]

Literary Devices in Modern Entertainment (and a love/hate book list)
At the most recent Austin No Kidding! monthly supper, we were talking about all the terrible books we “had” to read in high school. I was amazed that this group of mostly well-read people had a lot of same opinions I did on this topic. One member brought up some terrible “work” that was used […]

The Earrings
BTW, while I had the best of intentions of wearing the new/fabulous earrings to the dental hell this week, they interfered with my headphones. The stems were poking me in that freakishly sensitive area behind the ear lobe. #ThatHurt So, I didn’t get to wear the Bling to the Thing, but rest assured, they are […]

Insomnia is a Bitch, Weed(s) Helps
If you are paying attention, you’ll notice that this post is coming to you from the not-even-wee hours of the morning. Insomnia is a bitch. Weed, that is Weeds–the Showtime series–is great for passing the time at, say, 4am. Actually, it’s more than that. It’s a great show that I never gave credit to. Of […]

The Dental Probrem
While the entire healthcare industry is a racket full of it’s own bullshit, I’m going to rant blog [1] today about the dental niche. The Dental Probrem[2] We pay for dental “insurance”. Apparently, the morons who designed this system don’t understand how insurance is supposed to work. Insurance is supposed to go like this: everyone […]

My Third Bridge
I have a bridge. It’s in the front of my mouth. It’s the nemesis to my smile….and a large reason why anyone rarely finds me on “that end” of a lens. This is the hell I’ve been through…through visit 1 of 2 for my 3rd bridge. As a kid, I went to an old-school dentist. […]

They’re Here!
While researching some blog material back in the spring, I found that Tacori was giving away an engagement ring from their new line. So, I signed up to win the beauty. I didn’t win the gorgeous ring, but I did win one of the other 99 prizes: a pair of “Jelly bean” diamond earrings in […]
