proper medical practice
|

Body : |
It is now 2:30 am and normally I would still be at work with another 5 hours to go before completely my usual 15 hour shift. But tonight I decided to stay home after paying a visit to the dentist.
I broke a tooth the other night and with it being the holiday there wasn`t a dentist anywhere available so I ended up waiting until today to get in. I went into work last night and worked what seemed to be the longest shift ever as my mouth throbbed so much, I think I would have preferred having my face just melt away then go through that sort of shooting pain again.
At any rate, I called my dentists office only to learn he had recently retired, just as well since he was in his early 70`s and also suffers from Parkinsons. He wasn`t a bad dentist in the same standards that defines a good butcher. I`ve been in his chiar at times when his Parkinsons would kick in, twice when he was inserting the needle for the freezing, first time he ended up stabbing my upper lip, the second time he he stabbed my nose. Other times he had the drill in his hand and twice he ended up drilling the wrong tooth. I know I should have switched dentists right away but because he is not only a friend but we`re also members of the same Lion`s Club in our small little town.
I located a new dentist and with my luck he too looks like he should be holding a cane instead of a drill but I wasn`t going to complain, at least I was able to get in to get my tooth fixed. Turns out when he was in University my previous dentist would often appear as a guest speaker for the professor some 30 years ago. After hearing that the first thing I did was study his hands to make sure he didn`t have the shakes.
I was safe, no shakes. But Damn............did he ever have some stinky breath. There I sat, mouth jammed open with some contraption, a polymar protective sheet stuffed in my mouth so I didn`t end up swallowing or inhaling bits of burning tooth from him drilling while he did a root canal to extract any and all poisons, trapped food, etc from the past 3 days it was broken and the entire time he was 4" from my face. If I could have talked I would have told him to go next door to the pharmacy and get one of those breath atomizers. It was hard to figure out if he was on some sort of new fad diet consisting of dirty, stale sock or he had just puked in his mouth.. Either way it was nasty and damned near made me puke in my mouth.
What is it with some people, surely you would think that somebody in his profession, having to lean closely over his patients would ensure he`s at least got a handy pocket pack consisting of Scope for example.
Lucky me, I get to return to him on the 1st so he can complete the procedure. but I think when I go in then I will be sure to rub some Vicks under my nose, That`s got to be better than smelling rotting sock.
To think I used to get into so much trouble when I was in the hospital because I would do silly things such as pull the contact wires of my monitors, touch them together making all the alarms on every machine go off watching the nurses come running thinking im having a heart attack, I`d drag the CPR dummy tangle its feet up in the bed rails then pull the panic cord out of the wall to sound the alarms to keep the nurses on their toes or I`d just get into wheelchair races up and down the hospital.
How many others have had such or similar experiences with doctors, dentists, etc? Whether it be ice cold instruments, sock break or just poor bedside manners. |

I know, understand and respect the fact that each of us are enttitled to our own personal views, to be able to express ourselves, etc. However, when it comes to the main photographs for our profiles do you think it would be possible for us to keep them decent.
I logged on and clicked the "Who`s Online Now" link only to have a picture of a penis staring at me. A picture of that nature might be more appropriate in the category of `more public photos" or private photos so that those who wish to see a dancing penis can do so all they want without it having to be plastured on the main page for all to see.
It`s only a bit of decency and respect for those that don`t wish to see it and the same should apply for women that wish to post pictures of their body parts, do so if you please but respectfully it would be best if categorized as with photos some men feel they have to post.
What`s next? Somebody going to post a picture of a dark hairy anus doing the sphincter wink? |

scam or not a scam.
|
|
Body : |
Recently I have received messages from members of this site that proceed to tell me how they `loved` my profile, how they and I will quote their words exactly.........`love to know you better`, " love to exchange letters", etc and then forward their e-mail address to me......Oddly enough these people have all been from African regions.
I have seen this many times in the past in a site I administer based here in Canada, these people, all thus far have been women contacting men, exhanging messages, e-mails, etc. and then suddenly begin asking for money and give some sob excuse about how travellors cheques, etc they have take 4 weeks to cash because of the difference between western countries and African countries. I am giving it just a matter of time before we begin seeing the same thing from women in Russia, they are the worst for it and I might add have themselves quite the profitable scam going on......
For those that do receive such messages, beginning with the usual signs such as `love to learn more", etc, etc, etc........pay very very close to the grammar, usually the grammar gives them away but just in case it doesn`t don`t let yourself get scammed by falling victim to their little plan of trickery...
Should you do receive such a message for your own sake ignore it, failing that if you choose to take a chance on somebody then by all means exchange messages but with each one coming usually from a Yahoo e-mail address run an IP trace, if the traces prove to be consistent than you might just end up with one that is sincere. But in most cases every IP address will differ and 9 times out of 10 will origionate from an internet cafe.
Should you do find yourself douped, even though you can kiss your money good bye there are ways to teach the person a lesson simply by logging everything, tracing IP Addresses and reporting it to the governing body of her particular country......ie.undeclared income, governments don`t like it when they dont get their share in the form of taxes.
Some common e-mail addresses use web based servers while others don`t. Common domains are .ru, gawab.com. if you receive e message with an e-mail address with the domain being .org or .net and she claims to be from Russia........don`t even acknowledge her because they do not use those two domains in Russia. |

You are single for what reason?
|
|
Body : |
I am very curious as to why some of the male members of this site are songle.....My guess would be because of the way they talk/ behave, etc. when it comes to a woman and how she looks.
I was clicking through the pages on this site, reading the comments that were posted by others regarding a picture somebody posted...........
These women know they are beautiful, they don`t need to be reminded of that, they see it every time they look in the mirror but at the same token, every woman as does every man for that matter, like to hear somebody pay a compliment. Whether it be how she looks, her thoughts, etc, etc, etc.........
However, posting a comment is one thing but do we as men absolutely need to "Dog out" on every good looking woman we see? It is as though some of these men have never seen a beautiful woman before.
Would they say such comments to these women if they were directly in front of them? My guess would be "NO" because they know full well they would be shot down right away and couldn`t face the humiliation or rejection so they save their comments for online that way when they don`t get a reply, get shot down or humilitated they are still able to face the monitor and proudly move on to the next woman.
We all know full well that the men that talk down in such a way to these women would never dream of doing so to their mother or sister and heaven forbid they have an attractive daughter and some man started talking to her the way they talk to women they would be the first ones to take the gloves off and have a good game of "smash mouth". They can not deny that either for if they did allow some man to talk to their daughters that way it just shows that they temselves are not men but poor excuses for human beings. Come on guys, grow up, act your age and show a little bit of respect, at the very least try to act your ages rathar than your shoes sizes.
I anxiously await any and all comments to this, please feel free to speak your minds..after all you certainly don`t have any problems doing so with the women here. |

family

|
Body : |
I know this blog is listed under the category of "friends" but I did not see one for "famiy".............
How many people here have to go through the whole family christmas get together, the same old ritualistic thing that happens every year..........Fortunately I only have one family function to attend. I also just learned that my grandmother is also going to be there, nothing personal but i really really hate that woman, she`s just some woman that gave birth to my mother and two aunts.......
She is now and always has been a very mean and spitfeul old woman, even when my mother was a child this woman would treat her own children like crap, she treated my grandfather like crap, he just stuck it out for the sake of his children......He passed on a year and 3 days ago which left that woman alone by herself living on the east coast. With three daughters two of them not wishing to have anything to do with her it was left up to my mother........so with many trips from Ontario to New Brunswick every weekend I either flew or drove there to help her pack things up so that she could relocate to Ontario just 18 km`s up the road so that she would be closer to family and we could all check in on her, help our, run errands, etc.....
Her moving to Ontario was something she wanted to do so we helped, we paid the 8000.0 it cost to move her belongings here, we lost countless hours of much needed sleep driving back and forth or flying every weekend until the day she arrived. Ever since she arrived she`s done nothing but whine, complain, cry in her beer ( rye whickey in her case) and wish she had never moved here and that of she could afford it she would move right back to New Brunswick where her only 2 friends were.......proving she cares more about her friends that will not always be there than her own family that would always be there for her.
Last I spoke with her I simply had enough when I over heard her chastise my sister stating my sister is a bad mother because both she and her husband both work instead of my sister being at home with their three daughters, their children are all in school for starters, furthermore in todays society two incomes are very much needed to sustain a family household. Upon hearing that I couldn`t help it, I blasted her told her tha tif she hated it here that much I would pay her damned way back to New brunswick just so long as it means she`s shut the hell up.
She has always come down on me for the profession I chose, she wanted me to be some sucessful lawyer, many people tell me I should have been a lawyer but that isn`t who I am, I`m happy building things, besides I make a damned good living at it, hell my father being an aircraft engineer doesn`t make as much per year as I do and all I do is build nuclear reactors, if I make an error it is cought right away where as if my father makes an error and an aircraft goes down there`s hundreds of lives at stake, but even with earning a good income she`s still not satisfied and will never be happy for me let alone proud of me. For her the biggest thing for her was when I became a member of Lions International but only because my Grandfather was also a Lion.
Recently I realized that my Grandfater hadn`t passed away, he`s gone into hiding...I wouldn`t blame him either if that were the case, I live just 18 km`s from her and I cringe with the mere thought of her wanting to kiss me i can`t imagine how he felt.
But for the sake of my mother I did promise her I would put my personal feelings aside for the holidays, I will of course treat the old lady with respect, I will not go out of my way to accomidate her but I will be civil and I know it will be damned hard to pretend that I like her but I must think of my mother.....
How many here have to endure yet another "family Christmas" one they really do not wish to attend or know there will be somebod there they don`t care for? I know there has to be at least one other person......we can`t all be members of the "The Brady Bunch" or the "Cleavers" with "Leave it to Beaver"....A perfect family is non existant, just ask Operah or Dr. Phil. We are all members of a disfunctional family to one degree. |

Shopping in Hell
|
|
Body : |
I can`t believe how crazy it was today at all the shopping malls and outlets. All I wanted to do was to get some grocery shopping done, pick up a few last minute items for my nieces and perhaps a nice Christmas gift for "ME".
I ventured out some time around 10:00 am, it is now 9:15 pm and I am now finally home relaxing on the couch with laptop in hand while I wait for my dinner to cook.
So many people waiting to the last minute to even begin shopping for gifts and I heared the same things from all of these people.nothing but bellyaching and griping about how busy it was and how ignorant others are because they have the nerve to stop in the middle of an isle to look at something. They spoke as if this was a rare thing to to happen, much the same as there are so many people that complain about snow, driving in the winter wether, etc........What the hell is wrong with these people? Are they that thick in the skull that they forget Christmas along with winter does happen every year, it certainly isn`t anything new.
I do have to admit though I did get a bit testy with a group of 11 people that stopped dead in their tracks completely blocking three isles only so they can chit chat as though it were some chat room in Yahoo.com.
If they want to go to a mall then do what needs to be done such as shop for what ever items you need, otherwise get the hell out of our way, take your small chat room to the parking lot and stop complaining about how slow things are moving in the store.
This is why I like to have the bulk of my Christmas shopping complete early in the year.
Just think, after Monday.there`s only 363 shopping days `till next Christmas. Isn`t is great? |

Political Correctness
|
|
Body : |
Last week an airport in Seattle Washington removed all Christmas Decorations after a local Rabi had threatened the Washington State Airports Authority and the FAA with a lawsuit claiming that if they were to display Christmas decorations than they should display symbols that represent all cultures and their respective holidays.
I laughed so hard when I learned that but at the same time I was disgusted that anybody a rabi...man of God even would pull such a stunt, sure I respect the fact that in the Jewish relgion Jesus the saviour/ sabbath has not yet arrived but even so why ruin something for may people out of sheer spite....I guess he never learned anything after 9/11 not to mention the countless other battles/ wars have where relgion was the root cause of it.
I can`t wait to see what is next........Im guessing Santa Clause himself will fall victim to "olitical Correctness", here some examples.........He`s a short obesed man that has such a poor diet I wouldn`t be surprised if he hasn`t been diagnosed with diabetes, just look at his dieall that cholestoral.a heart attach or stroke just waiting to happen.
Then their is the issue of his method of travel, he flies around the globe in one night hauling tons of packages with only 8 tiny reindeer.....Damn................that`s a job for 80 reindeer not 8. Why hasn`t the SPCA stepped up to bat and done something about that?
His elves, he has those poor thing working their little fingers to the bones, most of them probably already go through life nubbing away at everything because they are already riddled with arthritis or carpal tunnel. I thought slave labour was illegal.
What`s next? Good Friday going to be changed to "Jesus is only taking a nap day"? Peter Cottontail going to be called "Vermon of non specified species and gender"?
Two years ago a county in the United States made Halloween illegal stating it was too scary for the children so they now call it "Harvest Holiday"
In Canada we have issues with some politicians in Quebec wanting to recognized as a distinct society and wish to be recognized as their own country.a nation within a nation, mean while the vast majortiy of the citizens of the province do not wish to separate from Canada.
In Toronto we had a mayor that tried telling the Bare Naked Ladies could not perform a scheduled concert in the city unless they changed their name because she found their name offensive........How`s this for a good name for the already famous band.....Unclothed Persons of Non Specified Gender"? Needless to say after some debate they did play in Toront with the same name and that woman is no longer the Mayor
Where do we draw the line with all this Political Correctness? Are these politicians actually justified inm wasting tax payers dollars in suich a rediculous manner? How long can we allow it to go on?
I now have only one thing left to say to all those over paid over zealous crooked assed politicians and happy little do gooders that hangf out with all the tree huggers, holy rollers and animal activists........
I`ll be thinking of you as I sit down to enjoy a nice char broiled Bambi burger on a disposable paper plate and at the same time.........
MERRY CHRISTMAS! |

Love....Virtual or Real?
|
|
Body : |
When it comes to love and relationships with those abroad which we meet online, where do we draw the line? Is there even a line to be drawn?
I have witnessed people bickering back and forth, threatening hysical violence against each other in the name of what they call " love". Love for/ with somebody online they have never met and most likely never will meet. But heaven forbid somebody new come along and show any form of attention to somebody that is "already spoken for"
I find it hilarious actually when I see or hear people talk about how madly in love they are with somebody online that they have not met. Granted some relationships online have become a realty and to those who have built solid relationships........my hat`s off to them, if they can do it them more power to them, they deserve it.
But for those that who have their life revolve around their virtual boyfriend or girlfriend....get a grip on reality........... Before professing your undying love for each other, before proposing and eccepting a wedding angagement....get a grip, grow up already, try something new that we in the sane world like to call life. Best part is..It`s free, absolutely free.
At least have the gumption, maturity and common sense to meet each other and go from there. Meeting is the initial foundation which will build a solid relationship or it will tell you flat out that this isn`t the one and that as much as you feel you just blew your saving on travelling abroad for nothing...look on the bright side there are some that haven`t been across town or out of their city let alone travel abroad you there`s the sights and experiences to consider. |

Is it love, lust or infactuation with the feeling of being in love?
|
|
Body : |
When it comes to love each and every one of us have different variations of what it truly means. Honestly though, what does love mean?
For some they can only describe love as something they experience such as an emotion, such emotions can be very difficult to describe. It can range from a deep warm sensation filling inside, now is that in our hearts or in our souls? I don`t know the answer to that, All I know is that it is a wonderful feeling not just loving somebody but being in love with somebody. With this comes the racing heart, the stomach doing flip flops, the tingling of the arms and legs and although some of these symptoms are similar with those of certain medical ailments they really are a good bunch of symptoms to have.
Then there are those that are "in love" with the idea of love...They wear their hearts on their sleeves wishing to be loved and in turn think or feel that they also love. There`s not a person alive that has not gone through this at one point in their life time, it is a part of life and there`s nothing we can do about it but we can do something about how we manage or control that aspect of life. There are those that will do anything to be noticed by that person they want to be with, some will literally go broke showering others with gifts, some will lose their jobs because they would rather be with somebody than do the right thing and go to work when required to do so while others will go too far with showing their affection that it comes close to if not crossing the lines where somebody feels threatened. It doesn`t mean that this person infactuated with the perspective person is intending to be a threat of any sort but the word "stalking" does come to mind whether intentional or not some don`t care for that and it only pushes others away and can result in legal actions. I know I sure wouldn`t be to impressed with that happening to me. In fact, I think I would most likely be a little paranoid, I think Hollywood made a movie about that "Fatal Attraction".
Next we have lust...........I understand that regardless of what anybody says a persons physical appearance will always play a major role in any perspective relationship. I don`t care if somebody says that looks do not matter, anybody that tries to tell me that I call a liar because we as people, as part of the animal kingdom can not help it, it is nature, beauuty attracts. Simple as that. It is the very first thing we notice of a person, whether it be a persons hair, face, body type, etc. once we overcome that person beauty ( male or female beauty) we begin to acknowledge that there is also an inner beauty, that inner beauty can range from a warm amd loving heart consisting of kindness, affection, well nautred personality all the way to somebody`s intellect.
What we as members of the "animal kingdom" must do is remember that we are not just animals but also HUMAN giving us the ability to differentiate lust and love. We have already covered the aspect of love but where do we draw the line when it comes to `lust` Many people are unable to get beyond lust, I feel bad for those people because those are the ones that are unable to commit or at least open themselves up to commit to a serious relationship with one person, instead they frequent such places as bars and night clubs in the hopes of simply being able to add another notch to the bed post. That is no way to live. That is not what was intended for humans. Humans are the only species on earth that actually fornicate for no reason other than to fornicate. All other species procreate with the sole pupose of going forth, multiplying, etc. If that is all humans where intended to do than why is it that we do feel such things as love, hurt, pain and sorrow?
I am very curious to see what others have to say about this blog, I anxiously await input from others. |
