Ha! Thanks!!! I did enter the contest almost 2 years ago and didn’t get it. The next post tells that part. I assume you found the right video because I am pretty mini 😉

The hubs is a great guy. You’ve told a story or 2 and left me hangin’… Still waiting for what happened next. :D. Great technique, huh? It’s coming soon but I’m afraid the unknown is probably more exciting than the real story!

Okay, maybe parody was the wrong word. Damn.

First, I have to say the obvious… Your husband sounds like a great guy. Supportive too.

So, it seems like you’ve left us hanging here. I love that! 🙂
What happens next? Have you submitted anything? Well…??? Did you win?
Just so you know, I got curious, and did a web search. I found a video that seems like it might be what you’re talking about. A parody? Will you go with it, or was that something else entirely?

By the way, you are either really small, or that guy was huge. 😀
Oh, and you’ve the voice and smile for this sort of thing. Really, you do.
Well, you go girl. You got my vote! 😉

Can we still be friends after you’re famous?

Wow, Rick! You totally made my day. I love to hear that your entire staff is having fun with all this crap I’m putting down here 😀 So I read your comment to my husband because it was so great, and he said, “well, he must not be squeezing too many patients in if he could find the time to write that comment- HAHA! Glad you found a little break the day before the holiday. That’s one thing I don’t miss– being on call for 10 different dental practices on holidays.

It is great to have a supportive spouse. I know I couldn’t have made any changes without him. He said to me one day, “you have to make a change. I don’t care what you do. We can sell our house if we need to, but you can’t come home from work like this every day.” Pretty cool considering what you say is right. Many don’t get it and prefer the status or the income over a happy spouse.

Sounds like you have s future as a pastry chef 😉

Thanks a bunch for your kind words! I’ll see you next time on the Lido Deck…

HA! Several great comments, again. LLB, your blog is always ‘right on target’, and your blog contibutors are super genius.. because they all mirror my thoughts ! .. or enlighten me to ways of ‘looking at things’ i had not thought of.. but make a lot of sense! seriously.. great stuff!
1. Your “Paradise Hunter’ video is extremely witty and sardonic. I keep hearing it being played at the op workstaions thruout the office today. Our staff.. which appreciates ‘weisenheiming humor’ finds it hilarious.
(As it being the typical day of hell before a holiday weekend.. patients all wait to the last minute .. and then want to be seen/treated right away)
…..Todays mantra at the office has been” See you on the lido deck for some bingo and pillaging ” as a joke to just get thru til the end of the day!
2. It’s always great to have a significant other who not only supports your endevours.. but might actually bring the possibilities to your attention.
.. I am addicted to the ‘ Cupcake Wars’ show… My wife constantly tells me to apply.. and means it. problem is, i don’t have a Cupcake shop… and my cupcakes taste like crap… but other than that… But the point is, it’s hard enough to go it alone.. and God knows how many people in dentistry (per say) have sig others who DEMAND they work so they can be married to a ‘doctor’ (this goes for both men and women!!!)…. Ughh. Just making the observation that its really cool when a signigificant other is in full support is a pretty cool thing, indeed! I should be more thankful.
3. Our entire office is addicted to the blog… and everyone may be beoming a little more introspective.. so in a way.. you opening a door.. encourages others to open doors as well.
cheerio and keep up the good work!
Rick
