Conversations with my Dentist
The Doc: (regarding my tooth extraction this afternoon for a future implant) For the next couple of days, I don’t want you doing anything too intensive. You can jog and walk, but no lifting heavy weights or anything.

On Moving
I packed approximately one suitcase today, wrapped up the whiskey bottle for James, threw away a bag o’ more stuff, made up a bag of books to give away/packed the books I know I’ll be keeping in that suitcase, think I’m gonna need some boxes, and took almost everything off of my walls so now when I’m watching Mad Men and yelling commentary at the TV, I echo.

Once More With Feeling!
Semi-hypothetically speaking in this scenario but in general for real life things, if you are a guest blogger submitting articles in to our company blog and you include a picture, you need to tell me where you got that photo from and if you have permission to use it before I can publish it.
