Then there were the fake women, men posing as lesbians to try and get you to talk dirty to them. A friend of mine did this and was really excited about how many gay women he got to talk to. His excitement wore off when I pointed out that the chances were very high that they were also men... |
For all the peculiar people I met, there were also a lot of decent guys and I met up with too many to count. Although I only ended up dating one of them, I made a surprising number of friends and then befriended their friends. Love@Lycos might not have done much for my love life, but it certainly worked wonders for my ... |
So did I find love online? Believe it or not, I did. Not with the one guy I dated. We saw each other for a couple of months before he decided that he wasn't ready for a relationship. Although I was sad that things didn't work out, he opened my eyes to the fact that I was ready to fall in love. |
At the time, I was also on a number of Yahoo! discussion groups and often talked to some of the other members outside of the groups. There was one man in particular who I loved chatting to. He was a strong personality with strong opinions and I found myself looking forward to opening up my email and seeing a message fr... |
Of course, I couldn't possibly actually date him. In my head, he was a lot older than me, blonde (I prefer brunettes) and larger than life, so when I realised that he was subtly sounding me out to see if I might be interested in him, I was flattered, but I knew that I couldn't possibly feel that way. |
The discussion group arranged monthly meet ups, so after a few weeks, the chance came up to meet Mr Blonde in person and I couldn't wait. |
Imagine my surprise when a vision in leather walked through the door. Tall, dark haired and bearded, he was exactly my type and we hit it off immediately. It was obvious to everyone who was there that night that something special was happening and fourteen years later, we've been married for thirteen years and have fiv... |
My path to online love might not have followed a traditional route, but I got there in the end and I really did find my happy ever after. |

History of Dentistry |
A Little Dental History Insight From Your Truckee Pediatric Dentist |
Many parents who visit our Truckee children’s dentistry office tell us how much dentistry has changed since they were young. That’s why we’ve decided to take a quick trip through time to find out exactly how far dentistry has come. Below is a brief history of dentistry we think you’ll find find interesting. |
Dentistry’s Earliest Known History |
The earliest history of tooth-related problems dates back to 7000 BC when the Indus Valley Civilization shows evidence of treating the mouth for tooth decay. The first known method of treatment was done with a bow drill, which is a primitive tool used primarily for woodworking. Ouch! |
Tooth Worms Were Blamed For Decay |
Moving forward to 5000 BC, the Sumerians believed that tooth worms were the cause of dental decay. They actually believed that small worms moved from tooth to tooth, boring holes in the teeth while hiding out inside. There is even evidence that some doctors tried pulling out tooth nerves because they thought they were ... |
Tooth Extractions Were Performed By Barbers |
During the Middle Ages, professionals performing tooth extractions were not medically trained individuals but rather barbers. The reason haircutters began pulling teeth is because the tools they used were similar to modern-day forceps. Imagine heading to your local barbershop for a trim and a tooth extraction. Yikes! |
The “Father Of Modern Dentistry” |
A French physician named Pierre Fauchard is called the “Father of Modern Dentistry” because of all the improvements he made in the world of dentistry. After establishing his dental practice in Angers, France in 1700, Fauchard is credited with finding the link between sugar and tooth decay. He even recommended that peop... |
Modern Dentistry Was Ushered In During the 20th Century |
During the 20th Century, great strides were being made which included things like developing the first modern dental crowns, formulating and marketing Novocain for pain-free dentistry, and adding fluoride to public water systems to help prevent decay. This is also when the first high-speed, air-driven dental drill was ... |
That Was Then, This Is Now |
The modern era of dentistry we’re enjoying now is light years ahead of what dentistry used to be. Many procedures and treatments that used to be painful to endure and required several dental visits to complete, can now be done in a single, convenient and pain-free visit. |

Of course like any reader I have hit reading highs and lows during the year but the fact remains that shouldn’t I be able to push myself though thoughts rough patches in order to reacher a higher level than I was at previously |

Sleep Study #4 5 comments |
For those that aren’t aware already, I have a condition known as sleep apnea. Before I get into the fun, I’ll give a little info on what that is: |
Basically, it means that I stop breathing in my sleep & one of the side effects is gawd awful snoring. Which, for me, was more like gagging & choking in my sleep. Which, was never really “sleep”, because it is a constant battle of just falling asleep & the “snore” wakes you. It’s really your brain telling you OMG WA... |
After a period of time, they like you to come in for additional sleep studies, especially if your condition seems to not improve or worsen with the c-pap, or you gain or lose a significant amount of weight. As I’ve had my machine for 4+ years, and Steve could still hear me snoring lightly through it (although, nothing... |
So Many WIRES |
What you don’t see.. is the belt strapped around me, under my arms, & around my waist.. which has wires pulled thru, from my legs & chest. |
And MORE Wires.. |
And to complete the look.. my very own face mask that I wear every night.. only, I don’t usually include the wires. |
So, I slept on & off for the next 6 hours, and they woke me up at 5am, removed the wires, had me fill out my exit interview paperwork, and left me to shower. Yes, thank goodness, they have one. Because.. this.. |
More glue.. |
Red from tape.. |
In that last photo.. they had taped a small microphone to my neck, to listen to any snoring. The tech ripped off the tape, much like one would rip off a bandaid really fast. My neck is still red.. and sticky.. and I’ve been scrubbing it, and using oil on it to break up the sticky mess. Hopefully I get it all by tomo... |
In the end, my night’s sleep wasn’t as bad as previous sleep studies that I’ve done.. but I think, again, that part of that is because I’m used to sleeping with a mask already. But, it still wasn’t a “perfect” night’s sleep. Glad I have a 3 day weekend to finish getting “un-sticky”. Thankfully, a friend & coworker, ... |
I hope you enjoyed seeing me in all my ridiculousness, and maybe learned something too. |
P.S. – I could totally do a post on how comical (or maybe it’s not really that funny) it is that the office administrator doesn’t understand how our insurance works. Can you say.. blue in the face? Wow.. |
