Ken has been busy filling out paper work for hours. It is for the new job.
I been working on my sites and installing some software. I still do not have every thing back installed after my format.
The TypePad people are going to be working on their system tonight. It will be down for hours. You can still view the blog but you can not post comments and I can't post and update it until they are all done.
So until Sunday.. God bless.
Ken went to the casino today. He won $80.00 today. It looks like his luck is good right now. My luck is a bit better. Ken came home with food for me and Russ from KFC.
I do not have anything on the site yet but my new FAQ site is:
HNB FAQ. You can add questions and answers to the site.
I will be working on it later today. Any ideas are welcome.
The photo above was taken just now 09/23/2006 with the Philips webcam. It takes pretty good photos. For ShowMeCam I switch between the Philips and my Logitech Fusion camera.
I started working on phpMyFAQ, an excellent program, for a FAQ section. I had used it before and then forgot about the program. This was, of course, a new install of it. Everytime I install some program like this I find that I have installed an old version. This was version 1.4.1 and I found that 1.6.5 was out. I checked to see what changes had been made and there were major changes so i was left with no option I had to upgrade.
I watched "Wedding Crashers" on DVD. It was very funny. I recommend it.
Darlene called me on the telephone. We talked for about movies and food.
Ken is down in the Keys doing something.
We found out that when Ken goes to school it will be for 10 weeks and not 8 weeks.
It is 3 pm and I have not got anything done yet. I need to work on the phpMyFAQ. I need to take a nap.
I am 194 pounds and all I have had to eat today is two olives. That is about what I had yesterday. How can I still be at 194 pounds? I have had Cokes.
I spent a couple of hours messing with forum software early today. I was messing with SMF and YaBB software. I got tired of not making any progress with them.
I put a different keyboard and mouse on my computer. I change them often. Someday I am going to find just the right keyboard and mouse. Right now I got the Logitech that came with this computer hooked up. It has very nice action on the keys.
Well it is 10:00 am and maybe I can do something useful today.
It is funny that I show up so high on some search engines on some subjects. My guess is they use Google. Howard's Notebook is starting to look good. About now is the time I crash it or do something to mess it up.
Ken is talking about moving to a new apartment when he gets back from AZ. That would be in about 3 months. After Ken leaves I am going to try and talk Russell into working to clean up this apartment and maybe when Ken comes back he will decide to stay here. I think Ken has the feeling that the place is dirty so it is time to move.
I have had very little to eat for the last week and I put on 4 pounds. My high weight is 200 pounds and sometimes I can get to 191 pounds. Well for the last week I have had very little food and I went from 191 to 195. If I cut out the regular Coke and only did diet Coke maybe that would help.
Ken is going to borrow my digital camera when he goes to AZ. I told him OK but that I wanted him to send photos. He plans to go to Las Vegas during the time he is at school. It is only a four hour drive from the school.
The digital camera I have is a Kodak EasyShare CX7330. It is not fancy but it works OK for taking photos for ShowMeBlog. I have had a digital camera on my Amazon Wish List for a long time and so far it is still on the wish list. Check out my wish list sometime.
I own two webcams and use both forShowMeCam. I said that if someone donated a Logitech Orbit or Creative LiveMotion that I could set up those cameras so you could control them over the Internet. You could pan and zoom the camera. Now however I am using CameraWare for sending out the video and the PTZ would not work. So what I will do, if someone donates a camera, is setup streaming video again but only the people that have made donations over the years will have access to the streaming video. Everyone else will have the CW video.
Ken got called today. He got the job that he wanted. It is working for a large aerospace company. His starting pay will be $48K a year. He has to go to AZ for two months of training. But they pay for everything and he gets an extra $300.00 each week during the time he is in school. They also will pay for his college courses and all the benefits start from the first day.
This is good news for Ken.
So Russell and I will be here alone for two months. I think we should toss a wild party. Just kidding.
I been looking at what people use to find this blog.
Someone put into the search engine what does an IQ of 108 mean. I can answer that for them. It means you will spend your life working as a nigh watchman or cleaning floors. Smile! Just kidding. education is the key.
I get people that find this site by asking how much does a driver license, in FL, cost? Or asking about security jobs in FL.
I get x number of teen boys, each hour, sent to this site because they did a search wanting to know if their penis is the right size. I been tempted to put a link to a photo of a very large penis and have it say this is the normal size. Don't worry.. I would not do that.. some kid would kill the president someday and when they checked and found out what was wrong with him..it would be because of being sent to that photo.
Sorry to have to report that three out of the four baby ducks are now dead. On the way to mail a DVD, at 0700 hours, I found the three dead. The last one was with his brothers and sisters. Looks like they were run over by car. He moved away from them when I came up to them.
On the way back I started the camera. First you see him alone. But then over by the three dead ducks is just a lone adult duck sitting next to them.
The sign you see, by the way, is a no parking sign. The lady that lives in one of the apartments goes nuts on the subject of anyone parking there. Ken was uploading food one time there and she jumped all over Ken. Ken told her I am just taking this food in and then I will move the car but the lady just went nuts. The woman got a supply of "tickets" from the office and has been putting them on any cars parked out by her apartment. She also put up her own little signs that said no parking. She got the apartment people to put a sign up saying no parking. Soon as they put up the sign someone spray pained over the sign.
"Today was a long day. LaDawna took Darlene and Russ to the Oral Surgeon. After they left I found out that Hilary was planning on going. Hilary said she had been telling Dar for five days that she was going. It appears Darlene left about an hour early. Hilary was very upset.
At the Oral surgeon LaDawna and Darlene waited outside. It appears that Russell was taken inside and given an IV and put to sleep. The doctor then, as I understand it, took out a bit of jaw bone and put in a "window", I would call it a shunt, and I am not sure what else he did.
After Russ was awake the doctor made sure that LaDawna and Darlene saw the X-Ray. LaDawna was shocked by the X-Ray. Russ has a very big cyst and almost no jaw bones on that side. The jaw bone is thin like paper.
The doctor make it clear that Russ not to chew anything. No chewing of food or anything. He is to be very careful not to break the jaw.
The doctor gave them instructions. Russ was sent home. When he got home Aaron helped him into the house and upstairs. Russ started to throw up.
He layed in Hilary's lap and she took care of him for awhile. I think her taking care of him and Darlene staying in the other room ..may have helped clear the air and help with the problem between the two of them.
Russ has a bunch of medication to take. He has a mouth wash, pain medication and other medications. He also has a syringe to stick in the port/shunt and attempt to drain the cyst.
Russ got sick again later. Jimmy went and rented two movies. Darlene, Jimmy, Russ and Hilary watched a movie. LaDawna, Aaron and I went to Wal-Mart and got some more medication for Russ.
Later LaDawna and Aaron said goodbye to us and went to their motel. Tomorrow early they start their trip back to CA. I felt sad and sorry to see them go. I hope we don't have to wait four or five more years to see them.
LaDawna has taken a bunch of photos. She will send the film in and then scan the photos and her photos will be here online in a few weeks. I wish I had the money to buy her a good digital camera. She in very good at photography and only wants a good digital camera.
Russell has an Odontogenic Keratocyst (OKC Cyst). They are very rare.
I did not know that Russell could be so brave and good about something like this. I found out something that I did not know...Russell did some research on his own on the Internet. Before they went into see the doctor he told LaDawna something. She asked if the doctor told him that information and he said no he found it on the Internet. He was correct ...later the doctor told them those very same things.
We have to wait for the doctor to get back with us on the lab test. I am sure each of us has our own fears about all of this.
From what little searching I have done on the subject... I am worrying about infection and about fact that they can return. Also I am worrying about his maxillary sinus.
We all have to pull for Russell. We got to make sure that he takes his medication and keeps doing everything that the doctor said to do.
ODONTOGENIC KERATOCYST
The odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) derives from the dental lamina and its most frequent location is the 3rd mandibular molar area (80%) with a ratio of 2 to 1, mandible to maxilla. OKC has a marked tendency to recur, the recurrence rate has been estimated to be around 60%. They can be single or multiple, if multiple. they most likely are part of the nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (Gorlin syndrome). Based on various reported series the OKC represents between 1.5 and 11% of all jaw cysts. They can be found at any age but with a peak incidence in the 3rd and 4th decade of life. OKC is more prevalent in males than in females with a ratio of 2:1.
The clinical appearance of OKC varies from a symptomless incidental radiographic finding to painful cystic lesions. Paresthesia may also be present in some patients as well as secondary fractures when the cyst is large. The maxillary OKC tends to be secondarily infected with greater frequency than the mandibular ones. That may be due to its vicinity to the maxillary sinus."

I am writing this entry with the Windows Live Editor. It is a beta editor for posting to blogs.
I just heard about Windows Soapbox today. It is going to be their version of YouTube. It is a beta and has a lot of things it needs to fix on it. I am signed up for Windows Live so I think I may have access to it. I will check it out when I can and report back.
I just posted about Yahoo Video here. Boy I am getting confused. YouTube is still the best.
I am just going to post this map because it is a feature of this new Windows Live Editor and I got to try everything. Smile
OK sorry about that ... I just had to see how it works and looks. Above is where I live. The S. Dixie Hwy you see listed is U.S. 1 highway. I think it is the oldest in the U.S.
