Doctor or Detective

Thinking today about how the practice of medicine is a process of elimination. Symptoms present like clues to what ails you, you visit the doc, he/she checks out your symptoms and make an educated guess what is wrong with you & how to treat it. When they make the wrong guess, you have to go back then they take another guess. Sometimes they order tests (these give you a better chance at being diagnosed correctly) The key here is hoping your doctor is a good enough detective to order the right tests, and interpret your bodily clues (symptoms) to effectively solve your problem

Home the double edge sword

So I was supposed to be at a work conference in sunny Puerto Rico right now but instead i am home with a broken foot. BOOO! While i was not looking forward to spending 5 days away from my kiddos especially my baby baby Christian, though i was looking forward to sleeping alone in a king size bed and eating out for dinner every night and getting catered breakfast lunch & snacks.  But things happen for a reason i guess.  As my mom advised me "No hay mal que por bien no venga" - essentially meaning that nothing bad happens without good to follow.  The good to follow or good reason is seeming like I needed to be here since the kids & Daddy are all sick.  Even with one foot out of commision at least im here to help Daddy with the kids and cleaning the house. I have mastered putting stuff away on my hands and knees (sidenote: if you find yourself havin to get around on all fours, house slippers under your knees and sliding like your skiing saves the knee cap pain).

Waiting

How did we ever wait before cell phones? Less patiently Is my answer...30 minutes into the designated show start time @ the westbury theater for George Lopez show & everyone is on their phones. Checking Facebook, email, pictures..,playing angry birds. Do they even realized the show was supposed to start half an hour ago?

Advancement of Blogging Skills

I've been bitten by the blogging bug, decided to create blogs for both my kids... personalizing for them individually so that i can record their milestones, fun times, funny stories, post pictures/video/audio clips for their anecdotal pleasure when they are older.  I realize the potential flaw in this plan that i hope never comes to pass:  Will this technology where i am dedicating all this time and effort still be around for them when they are old enough to read & have an interest in this? I don't know, blogging could be surpassed by some other better technology that i cant even fathom at this time 10 - 15 years from now or even worse "blogger" could not be around kind of the way imeem.com disappeared into myspace.com with all my customized playlist and the handy ability to add in a music playing widget to HTML coded sites like myspace (another dying entity nowadays)...which brings me to my current frustration....trying to post an audio clip to their blogs...I've been googling away to no avail, all the post of how-to's are out dated with links to free pod casting sites that are not working or links to audio embedding site (which is what i want) that aren't working either.  Can we say frustrating....OK took a quick break to look again cause this is really bugging me, I'm determined to get these audio clips up....looks like i can use windows movie maker to combine the audio clip with some images making a "musical slidshow" if you will that can then be uploaded to YouTube.....Lets see how this works.
