The over 600 Google Reviews for our office average 4.9 Our staff is great, we have good processes, we help people find answers which have eluded them for years We recently had a patient who posted a complaint, remarking we were "Just a 4.9 Review Machine" We're thinking of having buttons made

In today’s episode of “I didn’t know we had that!” We purge stuff we don’t need or now longer use every June, donate or give it away We found a these die cast Christmas figurines from the early 1900’s. Her Great Grandmother bought them for HER kids We thought we had given it to wife’s brother

It’s oddly foggy this morning We have some overly mature landscaping which we refreshed New hydrangea and dwarf magnolia The magnolia will be trained into a canopy over the hydrangea, which will take some years Really happy to see the hydrangea thriving with lots of blooms

Cleaning out an old instrument cabinet, found this box 20+ years ago, I invented an instrument - abet for an implant which is no longer made, by a company that no longer exists I just keep the box as I love the name and what we called it - the WIPPiT

Saw a mother as a patient today, brought her child with her. The child was screaming, and crying the entire time, clearly frustrating the mother. When the exam was over and mom got up to leave, the kid smiled, waved and said "Bye-bye" OK, cute .... or just passive aggressive?

We lived through having to clean out both our parents homes I have been informed we will not be doing this to our daughter, so I need to clean up the garage That includes the “parts bins” I have two of these which hold every spare screw or nail to ever come in the house Yes, it’s a dad thing

Very much a “Dad” thing

While Boone is currently “on restricted duty” - wearing a cone and on Trazadone, he’s not very active He he is from a few months ago We got a mat for the floor under his bowls He was initially a bit suspicious

One of the staff shared what the patient wrote in their history, saying "Look, they wrote they wear bay-focals, yes BAY-focals" Me: "Perhaps he is a fisherman" This is why the staff love me - Dad jokes on the fly all day long.

We've had some nice weather of late, so people head out to the mountains and the beach. Not only do we have issues with the directs sunlight, but reflected light from water and snow We've seen a new case of solar retinopathy both this week and last week Please wear sunglasses which block UV light

Who wears jeans to workout? It’s a miserably uncomfortable Have you ever gotten soaked while wearing jeans? It’s miserable and they’re a pain to take off - not to mention the chafing I’m starting to think he might be hiding something wrong with his legs

The staff have begun showing me post on TikTok from an account which appears to be two cartoonish aliens telling Dad Jokes Do you think they are trying to tell me something? The jokes are pretty good, BTW

I had become distracted from posting photos of - My photography - My pup Boone I see it as a good thing when my social media time takes a backseat to real life So here I am also breaking a rule and letting Boone have some morning quiet time with me on the couch - or he’s letting me …

Washington, like 4 other states (CO, HI, OR UT) is a mail ONLY ballot state - and has been so since 2011. Before that, all but one county has done mail only since 2005. Between 2004 and 2010 in Washington, there were SEVEN documented cases of vote-by-mail fraud. The concerns here are non-existent
