This is one weird, but horrible, pain I’ve got. I first had this about a year ago. It came out of the blue and was a sharp stabbing pain, like a dagger. The location was odd as well – right on the top of my foot where my leg meets my foot. The pain was so strong that I wasn’t sure if it was also on the side of my… Read More »Sharp stabbing pain in top of ankle
Continued from Part 1 – on becoming a basement flooding expert… As I was out of town when the basement flooded, the first thing I did was call our homeowner’s insurance which was Allstate at that time. The woman who answered was super friendly and said I don’t need to worry and should do whatever I could to clean up the basement now so that I won’t have bigger expenses… Read More »Basement Flooding Remediation – drying it out – Part 2
Yes – I would say I qualify as an expert in basement flooding. Not quite an expert in PREVENTING basement flooding, but maybe someday I will be there. This all started about 5 years ago when I bought a house that had basement flooding issues. Of course, the previous owners said the flooding occurred because there was no backup pump and there was a power outage. It wasn’t until I… Read More »The beginning – and dealing with a bit of mold
I’m a first time fireplace owner and finally deciding it’s time to set-up the fireplace for use. I’ve been doing some reading and I think I’ve got most of the parts figured out. The damper seems to work fine and I can see up to the top of the chimney. There is a vent on the back wall of the fireplace that seems to be set-up to allow fresh air… Read More »Extra tall fireplace grate needed

<This is some useful information I’ve moved from another website before it was taken down – the first part is pretty old, but the comments from others included are newer> I have a Flip Mino – which has been great. I’ve had it several months and don’t use it a real lot. I go to use it today and shortly after turning it on, it shuts right off. I wasn’t… Read More »How I fixed my Flip Mino
I was still struggling with figuring out why all of my sites lost traffic on September 28, 2012. My sites aren’t exact match domains, and the content had never been affected by Panda (as far as I could tell). It is possible that with Panda 20 some factor that was helping me before got taken out, or something new that is now hurting me was added. I kept reading on… Read More »Maybe I was an Exact Match Domain algorithm false positive?
One reason I haven’t been active on Google plus is because of their pseudonym policy. Originally, they strictly banned pseudonyms, but now it seems they do allow pseudonyms that have a “significant” following. They haven’t defined what that means – and I’m guessing my identity at this point may not be “significant”. I made some recent changes to this site, to try to figure out why the rankings have suffered… Read More »Is there a way to get a pseudonym approved in advance on Google plus?
As a doctor, I got very uncomfortable with today’s Howard Stern interview with Jim Breuer. I think Jim seems like a very likeable, talented, and smart guy. On the May 30 episode, he talked about his wife having being diagnosed with breast cancer after discovering a lump in her breast. She decided to have aggressive surgery and had a double mastectomy. It turned out she also had an early cancer in… Read More »Jim Breuer says cancer loves sugar
I’ve seen a continued downward trend since last September’s Panda 20 update. My sites that lost about 50% of their traffic overnight are now down to about 35% of their previous traffic. It basically seems each week they lose a bit more traffic. The pattern of traffic has also been very strange since hit by Panda 20. Basically, my traffic is reasonable in the morning and evening, but then something… Read More »Google Panda still hurting me
