Dentist time!

Toby and myself went to Dr Vogel today for our 6 month checkups. Toby was awesome – he sat and let them clean his teeth, even did very good with the bitwings X-ray. I will have to come back Dec 2nd for a filling! Yep – sucks to be me!!!

So much for I.U.D.’s

Amiga Fever

Well – I have just secured myself a comparable system to my old Amiga A500 which I used to own before my missing in 1993. I later returned and found out that my brother had thrown it away since it wouldn’t play one of his Soccer Games!!! But hey – I gave it to him [...]
