Buffy ,'Lessons'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Your dentist is not inspiring confidence, Lee, but I'll hope the allergy meds do help, because maybe they will, whp knows?
Huh. My migraines have been so indrequent that I've never really considered myself a migraine sufferer or sought treatment or anything, but I have sinus headaches all the freaking time. One more thing to bring up when I decide on insurance coverage and pick a doctor, I guess.
Lee, did you not get the memo about NO NEW MEDICAL ISSUES FOR BUFFISTAS?? Sheesh.
But this is Dental! Maybe the memo needs to be more specific?
Oy, Lee. If only you lived a wee bit closer so I could send you to my dentist, who I . . . well, not love (she is a dentist after all) . . . but trust.
Thanks. IIRC, Kat had a good dentist up here, so I'm going to email her to get his name, because of that wole lack of confidence thing -t mentioned.
Lee, is it okay if I dislike your dentist just the teeniest little bit?
Please do.
On a completely different note, I stopped at Whole Foods on the way to work to get lunch, and walked out with 2 bags of Barbara's baked puffs as well, and it's all your fault.
But this is Dental! Maybe the memo needs to be more specific?
Hmm. Maybe it needed to be less specific, I'm thinking. Fuck.
Sarameg, are you reading Jerry Springer Show transcripts again?
Am not!
Hmm. Maybe it needed to be less specific, I'm thinking. Fuck.
That too.
Migraineurs, you too, really.So trying to. It explains why I thought I was getting fewer migraines. Because they were the funky fun new sinus headaches I was getting "instead." Sucktastic.
Lee, that dentist should be smote.
Wired admits that another Wired reporter made shit up: [link]
Wired News has removed three articles from its website after an internal investigation failed to confirm the authenticity of a source used in the stories.
"Tribal Curse Haunts Launch Pad" (June 27, 2006), "NASA Boosts Heart-Monitoring Tech" (July 7, 2006) and "Don't Flush It -- Breathe It" (July 14, 2006), all by Philip Chien, relied in part on quotes and citations from Robert Ash, described in the first two stories as a "space historian" and in the last as an "aeronautical engineer and amateur space historian."
In a phone conversation with Wired News editors, Chien had identified Ash as a professor of aeronautical engineering at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. Reached by phone this week, Ash said he is not a space historian and has never participated in interviews with Chien.
Damn. I liked the Tribal Curse one.
I am definitely going to go drinking and get the scuttlebutt from my friend who is a Wired editor...
Bless. I am home and have already sent out over a handful of emails and had two phone meetings. I get to lie down a bit...well, after finding food...until three, I think.
