My Dentist and Tuesday Linkorama

My Dentist and Tuesday Linkorama published on

 dentist.jpg

I’m going to the dentist today. Why is this an all day affair? Because I never gave up my childhood dentist in Brooklyn. I travel an hour plus on the train from Beacon, then make my way over to Midwood from Grand Central. Doctors and dentists terrify me so it’s all worth it! Hey, if you need a good dentist….Michael Beck on Ocean Avenue. Yes, that’s him in the photo. He’s a good sport.

Anyway, that’s my excuse for a Linkorama.

At last! My long awaited hosting spot for Carnival of the Green! I signed up over a year ago and wasn’t even sure if I’d still have a blog by now. But I do. And it’s game on!

Firstly, thanks to Lighter Footstep for hosting last week’s Carnival. Please check them out!

And now, without further adieu, may I present this week’s Carnival #167 ala Reclaimed Home…..

From Ancient Wisdom Modern Mind, Kerry ponders What affect do our Thoughts, have on Our Health, Our Relationship and Our Environment? Really interesting article.

C Richey writes about the Green Products Showcased at the Consumer Electronics Show on Las Vegas Realty. When I first saw it was from a Vegas RE firm, I thought they were trying to pass one over on us, but no, it’s a legit green article right outta Vegas, baby!

Dana from A Very Nearly Tea sends us Trash For My Garden. Unfortunately, my black thumb was all like “Wha?” But it’s a great article for anyone even THINKING of their garden.

Here’s one I like. Something for free! Dr. Joseph M. Peck, PhD fills us in one Free Tote Bags over at Eco Joe’s. Three different offers. And I here I am paying 99 cents!

Heather  from The Greenest Dollar does a nice review of three Green Wines. That means boxed, ladies and gents. Remember I got over that snobbery here a few months ago.

Speaking of overachievers, Peter of  We Overstep sent in not one, not two, but three submissions. The blog ain’t called “We Overstep” for nothing. There’s a Go Vegan post and a Raw Vegan article. He also posted some of his Ireland photos. Get it? Emerald Isle? Green?

Myscha Theriault sent us Green for Girls: A Feminine Perspective  posted at Wise Bread. Ok, this is a must read! You should’ve seen the wide eyed, jaw dropped look on my face as viewed the post. I consider myself an eco-conscious soul, but a menstrual collection cup? Sorry, I’m just not ready to go there yet.

People are complaining about all the little water bottles floating around, but what about the Brita filters? Huh? Well, Beth Terry of Fake Plastic Fish gives us the rundown with her Gimme 5, Brita, Preserve and You.

Utilizing Twitter

Utilizing Twitter published on

I joined Twitter months ago, but never really used it until recently. Since it takes me way too long to come up with blog post topics, I thought I should take advantage of Twitter, so I started following a bunch of blogs.

Here’s what’s up wit dat:

City Room reports there’s no more space to watch the inauguration at City Hall. Well, I didn’t even know that was an option! Now that I know I can’t do it, I really want to. I tried writing to my congressman and senators for tickets, I tried volunteering. Nobody will have me. Hey, is anyone going to D.C.? Anyone doing anything good? Invite me. Please?

Kitsch Designs is collecting and selling vintage graphics. I LOVE that 70’s card! She says it’s 60’s but I want to believe it’s the 70’s. It just brings me back to my childhood. Not that I was a groovy teen chick with yellow hair, but….I don’t know….it just does, ok? Anyway, it’s $5 on Artfire. I think they charge more than that for crappy new Hallmark cards these days.

Peta lists the top eight vegetarian restaurants in the country and Candle 79 tops the list. I wouldn’t know. I never ate there. The one time we tried to go… We were in the neighborhood, it was raining, we were wet, cold and hungry and just wanted a nice warm place to dry up and dine. We didn’t have reservations and they turned us away. The place was empty, so I’m thinking they didn’t want us there because we looked like bums. Screw ’em! Who needs them?

Artfire says it’s not too soon to get ready for Valentine’s Day. Yes, Yes it is! What do you want from us? We just went through HalloweenThanksgivChrismukaNewYear and now you’re talking Valentine’s? Come on, man! Give us a break! And then it’s gonna be St. Patrick’s. Stop the insanity!

Inhabitat twitted about the new Energizer solar battery charger. It will be available this summer for $49.99. FYI, I’ll only use Energizer AA’s on photo shoots. And if you don’t have rechargeable, the lithium are superb! No, I don’t know how bad that is for the environment, but it beats my flash losing power in the middle of a wedding ceremony.
