True Generosity

Since Joseph won't share this story I will. . . As many of you know Joseph drives a scooter. It gets great gas mileage and only costs a few bucks to fill up. However Joseph tries to stretch the gas as far as it can go even when the gas light comes on. So as you might guess he ran out of gas last week. He sat on the side of the road with his cell phone out calling everyone and anyone he could think of to bring him a little bit of gas. He sat there for at least 10 minutes as car after car drove by without any regard to his situation. Finally a man stopped on his small motorcycle to see what Joseph was having trouble with. Joseph explained his situation and that he just needed a small amount of gas in order to get to the gas station a few miles away. "I live just down the street," the man said. "I'll be back with a gas can in a few minutes." Joseph waited patiently as still more and more cars drove on by without so much as asking if he needed help. The man returned shortly with no gas can. He got off his bike with some tubing in his hand and explained that he couldn't find his gas can so he'd siphoned gas out of his lawn mower into his bike and then proceeded to siphon gas from his bike into Joseph's scooter. I'm amazed at the trouble this man went through to get Joseph the little bit of gas he needed to get to the gas station.

On a totally different note. Daisy loves to have her teeth brush. As a hygienist I don't think I could have asked for a better dog!

Orrin Porter Rockwell

So I finally have something worth blogging about. I did a report on Orrin Porter Rockwell last semester for a history class and by the time I was done I wished that I WAS Porter Rockwell. Well, fortune has recently smiled on my dreams. Rockwell had a little white dog what rode on the back of his horse just behind the saddle and was trained to lick his face in case of an intruder. It just so happens that I have recently aquired just such a little dog...

And a horse...

I have had some really good ideas in my day but this is going to be the best EVER. I'll keep everybody posted on how the training goes.

Dumpster Daisy

My litter sister found this left in a kennel next to the dumpster at her place of employment. Joseph and I are trying to decide if we should keep it or pass it on to someone else. What do you think?


The vet thinks she's just under a year old and is most likely half yorkie half shitzu. Kinda cute, right?

Jiapers

Introducing the jean diaper. . . otherwise known as the Jiaper. A couple of weeks ago my little brother was talking about Jorts (Jean shorts) and we started coming up with all of the funny things that could be made out of jeans. During this dinner conversation my father suggested jiapers. Hilarious! And what to my surprise but Huggies has come out with a limited edition product called the "Little Movers Jean Diaper." Can it be true? Jiapers in the flesh? My family has laughed and laughed about this product and you better believe I'm on my way to Walmart to pick up a package for my very unborn child. Because as their adds states" when you have to go, go in style." I want my baby some day to "make a little fashion statement" with their sweet jiapers. But with this great summer fashion statement what's next? Jepends?

Good Advice

So I'm officially a dental hygienist. . . and I just love the things my patients tell me. For example, I was cleaning this man's teeth on Thursday who had just been in the week before to have one of his teeth put back in his mouth. You see it had gotten loose and he had wiggled it out. Now I'm sure you're thinking oh this little 5 year old missed his little baby tooth. Well this man was not 5 he was more like 55. And don't worry it was definitely one of his two front teeth. Perfect. Well the dentist fastened it securely back into place and he came in to get his teeth cleaned. As he's laying there at my disposal he begins to tell me that people are afraid of the dentist because they wait so long to get stuff taken care of that they have to have major work done. In his opinion if people would just come in every six months to get their teeth clean the dentist could find cavities when they are small and people's hatred for the dentist would decrease. Ok, thanks sir, I'll be sure to let my patients know about this wisdom you've imparted. . . what this coming from a man with half of his teeth having been pulled from rotting away and large cavities on almost every remaining tooth left in his mouth. Great advice.

One other funny note. I had another patient a young man about 22 come in and when he came back to have some fillings done told one of the assistants that "the girl who cleans teeth is pretty nice, but she was totally flirting with me and I know she's married. . . so that's a little weird." Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I never knew I was so flirtatious. Especially with boys my little brother's age.
