Best Answer:
it's very easy to take off, there's a little space at the side below the buttons where you can separate the two pieces. and since the bumper is a silicone it slides right off and yet it's very sturdy when the two parts are put together.

The Pros and Cons of Today's Root Canal
Not So Great:
1. The endodontist looked at my x-ray and said, "Whoa. Well, don't worry. It's mostly routine."
2. During the procedure there was an episode of "Guy's Big Bite" playing on a large flat screen behind the dental technician.
3. The sound of Billie Jean on the music system did little to drown out Guy Fieri's description of his fast Asian pickle marinade as "money."
4. The sound of a tiny drill inside my face did little to drown out Guy Fieri's Korean street food pork sandwich taking him on a "trip to Flavor Town."
5. I had a root canal.
Worth Every Dollar of the Co-Pay:
1. Our toothpaste-phobic child is now willing to brush with "awful barf paste" to avoid getting a "head cavity mouth canal like Mama."

tell me about it, a studying to be a dentistReplyDelete
Good lord almighty woman! You can WRITE! So glad to have found you via Blog of Note. Enjoy the ride!ReplyDelete
Oh those tiny little drills for those tiny little canals. . .ReplyDelete
Brings back HORRIBLE memories.
Like six of them . . .I'm not sure I have any more canals to root.
Congratulations become blog of note :)ReplyDelete
I've been down that road, had a few root canals... no fun. My dentist loves me very much. As do his kids, who send me birthday cards every year thanking me for helping to pay for their education!ReplyDelete
Did they give you good drugs? I hope so.ReplyDelete
I'm not sure if I feel worse for you about the root canal or the Guy Fieri... :)ReplyDelete
Am I still allowed to comment here now that you're big time?ReplyDelete
I've never seen "Guy's Big Bite," but it sounds perfect for a root canal.
"Awful barf paste" and "head cavity mouth canal" are much more accurate descriptions of what's really going on. Thank you, Bob, for calling dentists on their euphemisms.ReplyDelete
Just found your blog on Blogs of Note and I love. Had me in hysterics! Hope the mouth is feeling a little better. =)ReplyDelete
Owie. I've had two. Am hoping you aren't hurting too much today.ReplyDelete
Love Bob's comment. I make mine used Mentadent. I have horrible teeth. There will be no bubble gum flavored toothpaste in this house.
I'm totally craving a pork sandwich now. Googling Flavor Town.ReplyDelete
oh girlie - feel better - nothing worse than tooth pain! grrReplyDelete
If they gave you codeine to take, consider not taking it. When I had my wisdom teeth out, the worst part was the constant nausea from the codeine. On the second day I quit taking it and things started getting better.ReplyDelete
You and Bob deserve a milk shake, don't ya think? x0 N2
Just had one two weeks ago, feel your pain sister friend. I had five shots and still wasn't 100% numb...thank G-d for Vicodin!ReplyDelete
Congrats on Blog of Note (that Ann is a super publicist)
Ahhhh.... I'm thinking about starting to floss!ReplyDelete
Whatever you do, get the cap as soon as you can. I got a root canal a few years ago, but did not have the money for a cap. Well, lo and behold, the root canal weakened and had to be redone. TWO ROOT CANALS IN THE SAME TOOTH. So not fun.ReplyDelete
Oh you poor, poor thing... I feel for you. Really.ReplyDelete
And gee, your eyebrows look terrific, lady.
- Ilene WaterstoneSeptember 22, 2010 at 12:03 PM
Who cares about the root canal? I'm a veteran of them and a dental implant. I'm far more interested in the Barf Paste. And that you are a Blog of Note! You Go Mrs. Rosenberg! Love you!ReplyDelete
P.S. Advil works much better for dental pain than the evil vicodin.
Thanks for the Public Service Announcement! I'm going to floss right now because that "head cavity mouth canal" sounds way worse than a root canal.ReplyDelete
As I suspected, you are under the best post procedure care in town.ReplyDelete
Go, Dr. Bob! And, yes, I am a lesson to my boys as well. I just had a root canal last week, over a crown.
Good times. You should see my boys run to their toothbrushes.
OUCH! poor you! Hope you feel better!ReplyDelete
I just checked out blogs of note, and saw you there! Congratulations. And I'm excited that I can say "I followed you BEFORE you were incredibly famous"ReplyDelete
Following you now, because of blogs of note. Your stories of Bob so reflect many that I have with my 5 year old. I'm glad I found you. Congrats!ReplyDelete
Ha I love the last part. so cuteee :PReplyDelete
I bet you are glad your tooth is sorted out now.ReplyDelete
I went to the dentist last week just for a check up, luckily nothing was wrong.
I don't really mind that much going to see the dentist, its just paying out the money afterwards that i hate.
Found you on Blogs of Note. Very Funny and brings back lots of memories. My children are about to head off to college and I miss the purity of their intelligince and logic back then. Thanks for sharing your moments with everyone!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 22, 2010 at 6:10 PM
I have to send this blog for a class....hope the tooth is better!ReplyDelete
This post has reminded me...that I'm overdue for a visit to the dentist. Hope you are feeling better. xxReplyDelete
very fun blog you've got here!ReplyDelete
You are so stinkin' hot.ReplyDelete
Oh, boy, I'm with you on that "It's almost routine" bit. It's right up there with "Oops!" in either the dentist or the gynecologist's office. And why do they insist on playing food shows in the background? Like I'm feeling like I'm ever gonna want to eat again?ReplyDelete
reminds me of acouple of tooth experiences I've had. capped one tooth acouple a years latter it absessed. then a few years after that had the same one-a root canal. ya lots of fun.ReplyDelete
ouch. must have hurtReplyDelete
Ouchie, ouchie! I hope you're feeling all better now.ReplyDelete
Reading the phrase "trip to flavor town" makes me feel like I have a head cavity mouth canal. Also: doctors who say "whoa" or can't control their eyebrows when they read x-rays and reports should be reported or smacked. Or something.ReplyDelete
Having a root canal isn't that bad at all, since it will get rid of the pain, and if the operation wasn't done as soon as possible, it will hurt a lot. At my teenage years, I had my first root canal when I felt total pain whenever I drink cold food or liquid. It totally made my cry due to its intensity, with that, my mother brought me to the dentists (Hendersonville, TN-located clinic) to get me checked-up and treat me as soon as possible.ReplyDelete
Few check-ups and x-rays later, I went on the operation. If I remembered correctly, it took me just an hour (or less) without any pain. After the whole ordeal, I am very thankful that my tooth isn't sensitive anymore, and days of rolling around in bed in pain was gone, and all thanks to the Hendersonville dentist.
Perfect work you have done, this website is really cool with great info ….ReplyDelete
I loved all of these posts. A lot of these things we have, but I got some really great ideasReplyDelete

Home Interior
You can do many things to reduce wastes at home. From home improvement
projects, to your home office, learn how to make a difference.
Home Improvement
When choosing materials to improve or remodel your home, try to buy recycled products. Using recycled products helps reduce the amount of material going to landfills. Flooring, insulation, plastic lumber, woodwork, shingles, and many garden/lawn products are made from recycled materials.
If your house or apartment was built before 1978, it is likely to still have lead-based paint on walls and other surfaces. Lead in the environment is especially harmful to children and pregnant women. Before you begin any paint removal or remodeling projects, be sure to test for lead. You can hire a professional to remove it or do it yourself. If you do it yourself, spread tarps under the work area, don't work on windy days, and collect and dispose of your paint waste in a licensed sanitary landfill.
Buy carpet made from recycled drink bottles (polyethylene terephthalate fiber). This recycled-content carpet is durable, resists moisture and staining, and requires no additional chemicals for its manufacture. Visit http://www.ecoproducts.com for more information.
Install properly insulated skylights or larger windows to allow more natural light into your home. You will help reduce the amount of energy and electricity used to light your home.
To help save landfill space, donate reusable old cabinets, doors, plumbing fixtures, and hardware to a local charity or building materials reuse center.
Contact your local household hazardous waste collection facility for instructions on safely disposing of harmful waste products and materials, such as empty aerosol paint cans, leftover paint and thinners, used solvents and paint chips, unused garden products like fertilizers and pesticides, and household chemicals.
Reuse old milk jugs, coffee cans, or other plastic containers to hold paint, cleaners, or other supplies. Be sure to label and date these containers properly, and store them safely away from children and pets.
Reuse or recycle leftover cement, gravel, and sand whenever possible. Try not to mix up more fresh concrete or cement than you can use in a day.
When your home is undergoing major landscape renovation, try to conduct grading and excavating projects when chances of rain are minimal to prevent erosion and contamination of run-off water. Cover excavated materials, dumpsters, and stockpiles of asphalt, sand, and yard clippings to prevent contaminants from getting into storm drains.
Earth Day (April 22) is a good time to start your spring cleaning. Properly maintain home appliances and keep them clean to help ensure that they will run at peak efficiency. This also saves electricity, which conserves resources and reduces global warming. Remove lint and dust from your refrigerator coil and freezer. Clean up lint around your dryer, furnace, and any vents leading to or from them. Also, change or clean the filter in your air purifier or furnace.
For spring cleaning chores, try to use durable items such as mops and reusable rags or sponges. When using household cleaning products, be sure that you only use the amount you need, and that you read and follow the manufacturer's directions for use and disposal.
Cool, dry fall days are a great time to paint both the interior and exterior of your home. Properly store any unused paint for future use, donate unused paint to neighbors or charities, or turn in your used paint to a waste collection facility for recycling.
If you have a tile roof, check it thoroughly for cracks or missing tiles, and use roofing made from recycled rubber or plastic to make repairs.
Replace old insulation with insulation made from recycled paper, glass, and other recovered materials.
Check your heat pump or furnace and change the filter or make repairs if needed. Properly maintaining your furnace will conserve fuel by keeping it running efficiently and preventing leaks.
Before rough winter weather sets in, remove screens from windows and doors and put up storm windows. Strong winds, heavy rains, and extreme cold can all damage your screens and ordinary windows, and send them to landfills before their time.
Check caulking around windows and do touch ups to conserve energy and natural resources.
When you're stuck inside on a rainy day, clean out your closet and collect the old clothes and toys for donation to a charity or your next garage sale.
Home Office
Make your printer environmentally-friendly. Change your printer settings to make double-sided pages. Use small point-sizes when possible and choose the "fast draft" option included in most word processors after you select the "print" option. "Fast draft" uses less ink, leading to fewer cartridges.
Pay your bills via e-billing programs when possible. Though there are
still some paper records, these programs generate less than traditional
paper correspondence.
Consider using a digital camera. They create less waste for disposal than traditional cameras because disks can be reused and undesirable pictures can be deleted.
Instead of printing hard copies of documents needed for work, save them to a disk or e-mail them to your own Web e-mail account.
Use paperclips instead of staples when possible.
Keep plenty of scrap paper handy. Use the back side of old documents for low priority prints like driving directions or movie times.
Purchase recycled paper and keep a recycle bin handy.
Reuse envelopes that have metal clasps.
Reuse file folders by sticking a new label over the old one, or folding the file in the reverse direction.
Purchase refillable tape dispensers.
Erase and reformat computer disks rather than purchasing new ones or disposing of old ones.
Use a customized rubber stamp for envelopes instead of disposable labels.

Members of Charlie Company, 4/31st Battalion, 196th Light Infantry Brigade, of the Americal Division, U.S. Army, Combat Infantry Unit, recently held a special reunion in the city of Destin. Here, organizer Chuck Cape shares his search
It all began back toward the end of 2010 when a fellow soldier was about ready to "give up" in trying to find me. He tried one last source, Facebook, where one day I found a message asking me if I was the same Chuck Cape that served with him in Vietnam.
We began corresponding via phone and emails and saying we should arrange a long-overdue reunion. My wife, Beth, then said I needed to do that. She made sure that I started the ball rolling, and then kept it rolling.
The word "miraculous" best describes how I was able to find so many of our guys with so little information. The initial known, or found contacts, were only four in number. I then began expanding my search using two main people search websites: "People Smart" and "Spokeo." I also tried using Facebook but only found one guy this way. All the rest of the guys I found were by using these two people search websites. In most cases, all I had to go on was the first and last name of my fellow brother and maybe a city and state he was from 40 years ago. In many cases, I didn't have a city or a state to start my search.
So, little by little, one guy at a time, I proceeded to eventually find 24 guys that served in our Company in Vietnam.
Beth and I became the organizers for our Reunion. My wife did a great job in designing and painting the decorations, supplying banners, and organizing food and drink. Our daughter-in-law downloaded songs we selected off the internet for what became 4 CD's of later 60's and early 70's music. Beth and I used "Windows Movie Maker" to make a DVD video of the guys Vietnam photos (over 120 of them) with the 60's/70's songs in the background. We surprised the couples with this by playing it for all to see and hear at our reunion.
We had previously spent a family vacation in both the Panama City beach area, and in the Destin area previously. We thought and believed that the Destin area was the ideal place to hold our reunion – great fine white sandy beaches, and upscale and best suited for our age group. We were told by some that knew that September is the ideal month to visit Destin - best weather, waters still warm enough for comfortable swimming, lower motel/hotel/ house rental rates, and very little tourist activity. So that is the time we proposed for our group to meet.
We selected a 5-bedroom house from Destin Days Vacation Rentals. As the number of committed attendees increased we added other houses next door to our first house, until we finally ended up with 4 houses from this same rental company in Destin.
We had one couple from the Detroit area drive down in their "RV" and set up camp within Henderson Beach State Park. Other couples rented rooms wand stayed at local Destin hotels/motels.
Our final count was 17 couples ("34" in all) representing 13 different states, who attended our Reunion. Most of the guys had not seen nor talked to each other in 40 years since leaving the jungles and "leeches" of Vietnam in 1971. We were all Combat Infantry men "Grunts" serving in a very unpopular war. Many of us were awarded Bronze Stars, some Bronze Stars w/ oakleaf clusters, a few Purple Hearts, for our heroism under enemy fire.
We all served in the mountainous northern part of South Vietnam called the I Corp area and were based out of "Chu Lai", and later in our 12 – month tour were based out of "DaNang," South Vietnam.
Once our guys met and exchanged initial greetings we started making up for lost time by hours of talk and getting out our old Vietnam photos. Our wives were included in our Reunion and they, too, began to interchange with one another. Many of our wives knew very little about what we went through in Vietnam and many had not been able to get their husbands to discuss their experiences over there. This was a time for them to learn and to see how the guys almost immediately were back forty years ago in time. When our wives laid out the food they couldn't tear us guys away from each other as none of us wanted to eat. Yes, it's true! All these guys who hadn't eaten in many hours were too busy talking and catching up on and exchanging old war stories. This camaraderie was catching, too, as the wives found almost instantly that somehow they already knew each other.
This reunion, as I said, was long overdue and served as a healing experience for all our guys. We all came home in 1971 without experiencing any kind of celebration or parades for serving. There was very little or no celebration nor recognition waiting at home for any of us, except from our immediate families and friends. But this reunion was a very positive and healing experience for all the guys and wives.
You could see in their faces as the days progressed that every guy that attended was glad he did so. There was a lot of healing going on. They came in with stoic/serious expressions, with no signs of a smile on their faces and feeling reluctance – some wondering it they should even be attending at all. Many were talked into attending by their wives. They left either late Sunday, or during the day on Monday with smiles on their faces, tears in their eyes, and the giving and receiving of "bear hugs" like you rarely see between men.
Our unit was blessed in that with all the guys who served for their 12 month duty in the "bush", we only lost ONE – killed in action, whose name appears on the Vietnam Wall Monument in Washington, D.C. - Mr. Clarence Suchon – our brother in combat who gave the ultimate sacrifice in March of 1971.
It was awesome!
A truly unforgettable life experience for both guys and their wives.

TOP THIS OPENING ACT/ Show!!
OKay, let's see who has the best story to tell...
I am going to share one of my most memorable opening acts at a Korn show and you all do the same! Let's Go!
I will share two:
(1) 1st Mariner Arena - Opening ACT THAT BLEW ME AWAY- MUDVAYNE!!!!What an amazing way to kick off a fucking Korn show and I would love to witness that again.
(2) Hammerstein Ballroom NyC (My home town)
NO OPENING ACT!!! JUST 4 + Hours of KORN To kick off the tour for the "See You on the Other Side Album" and this show was recorded for the DVD. I'm the Crazy girl with the neon green sign in the front of the pit lol
After this show, I was walking around the venue in the pouring rain and I saw some guys moving equipment. I was joined by 3 other fans and we just stood in the rain and eventually helped move the equipment into the truck. 30 minutes later Fieldy came outside and just stared at us til his ride came ... Munky came out and signed autgraphs on the way to his car ( i was lucky enough to catch Field y for an autograph on my wet neon sign) Then we watched as a black SUV pulled up and the driver waited outside with an umbrella. Five minutes later JOn came outside and signed autographs as the driver shielded him from the rain. I was shivering and handed him my wet soggy neon sign and all I heard was Jon yell out " its too wet!" so I asked for a hug and crossed over the barriers, he was walking towards his vehicle and signing autographs and I reached out for a hug with my black Korn Hood witht he horns in the back, soak and wet, freezing clammy hands and suddenly was pushed by a tall black guy (security).. Well thats my story lol
