Hmm .. I was just changing some of the categories on old posts (notably Health) and I noticed that the first MRI post I made wasn’t there … So I went back to the MovableType bLog and found that entry and cut and pasted it over here being able to put in the original post date and time … I wonder what other entries may be missing? Now I have to check this out … hassle …

ENT Visit
I didn’t get a chance to post yesterday, but I went back for my ENT visit. They shot that stuff up my nose again, and placed the ominous device there for nostril probing for me to stare at while I waited for the doc… well, specialist. After asking me how I was, I described that I didn’t really feel any different. The original reason I went there was discussed, and he explained to me once again that the size of my swollen lymph nodes were just beyond the size to even worry about. He mentioned that even he has some swollen ones that he’s been living with for 10 years. Damn! Another high priced doct… uhm, specialist, that deals with the things that ail him! So, he looked down my throat, checked out my nostrils (but didn’t shove that thing all the way in this time) and said everything looked okay, just a little irritated … He then asked if the stuff they sprayed in my nose helped me to breathe through my nose better … I told him that I really couldn’t tell … I mean, I don’t normally spray things in my nose, and it just feels weird having this junk in my nose that I normally don’t, so I couldn’t answer him honestly. So, he slipped me a sample bottle of Flonase, and told me if it worked for me that he would write a prescription for it for me. I was to use this as an alternative to taking some sort of sinus relief pill … From what a guy told me at the bar last night was that that wasn’t how Flonase worked … You were supposed to use Flonase twice a day or something and it took 2 days to start working. Well, I guess I will try what the do.., specialist said to do, and if that doesn’t work, I will tell him in August … So, he patted my head and sent me on my way … Whole visit took about 10 minutes …
bLogs
In the last week I guess it’s been, I have been following the MovableType press, and I have also happened upon a lot of bLogs … I just read one that said they were changing their URL because “cause well, I get a lot of spam comments and there are some people that read my blog that I would rather not have any information about me. “ and they went on to say “I just want friends and family and random strangers to read it, not assholes.” … hehe … isn’t that funny? I sort of touched on this a couple posts back. I never did get into the comment spamming thing, but I guess that’s a problem that plagues either bLogs in general, or just MovableType … But because of the wonderful world of Internet spidering (WWW), you never know who may have indexed your site, and who might drop by and read about your wonderful life through your comments posted publicly for anyone to see. Yeah, there’s the robot.txt file that you’re supposed to put in your root to stop this, but how many search engines do you think really honor that? Also, who does this stop when it comes to a human web browser? No one … So, bare you thoughts, your life … someone is going to read it. It might be for family and friends, but I think somehow, some way strangers will eventually read it, and I don’t think changing your URL is going to stop that …
