Let Your NerdLight Shine
Who among you can tell Dr. Ding how to post photos to WordPress using a Crackberry?
I’m jonesin’ HARD, people. The scenery in rural PA can’t be beat, but it wants for reliable Internet service.
Ah, sweet sweet Internet, how I doth miss Thee…..
I may have connectivity tomorrow, and Dr. Ding is already mentally toughening herself in anticipation of drinking many, MANY cups of Starfucks coffee in order to remain online for as long as it takes to deliver her Quality Psychological Diva-Driven Product to the hungry readers. Fear not, for Dingish wisdom and general smartassedness shall soon be at hand.
Just as soon as I finish this here Whoopie Pie.

Say Hello To My Leetle Friend(s)
[Leaning forward interestedly] Hello, group. I’d like to share something with you. [Puts down clipboard]. I know that as your group leader I don’t normally disclose much about myself, but today is a special day. I’d like you to meet someone. Actually, a few someones.
There’s a place where Dr. Ding likes to hang out when she’s feeling uninspired, a safe, cozy place where people can come and meet, share ideas and dreams, appreciate handcrafted merchandise, and enjoy lots of independent spirit. No, it’s not my closet. It’s Etsy.com.
Check out this sacred heart and glitter wings necklace Dr. Ding purchased from ArtAllNight:
Pretty bitchin’, n’est-ce pas? How about this sweet lil number from Gearbunny?
Or this flat out kick-ass ceramic heart from Surly Ramics?
Dr. Ding feels very fortunate to have caught on to the best of the DIY scene at Etsy. The handmade, “wearable art” movement is gaining momentum and increasingly supplanting the artificial and mass-producted aesthetic chokehold Big Corporate has on the collective American economic palate. Seriously. Mr. Dalgliesh, you look as if you had a comment. No? Alright, let’s continue.
I’d like to ask the group to consider this: why would you want to purchase a bland navy-blue v-neck sweater from The Gap/Abercrombie/Banana Republic worn by everyone else you know, when you could feast your torso on this festive ensemble from Louise Black?
Ah [leans back in chair, checks watch discreetly], now isn’t that better? I think this has been a very productive group today. Mrs. Pargeter, next week it’s your turn to share. And Ms Blandings, I believe you’re signed up to bring a snack to celebrate Mr. Harleyquin’s 3-year gambling sobriety birthday, is that right?
Ok, then, looks like our time is up for today. Thanks for coming.

Midwest Neurotica
Dr. Ding is currently in the Washington, D.C. area for the first leg of The Ding/Beyonce holiday sojourn. I’m sitting in a hotel reminiscing about holidays past, and suddenly I was struck (repeatedly, about the head and shoulders) with the urge to google “cheesy holiday goodness.”
Lo and behold, I came across this fabulous site called Midwest Neurotica, and it’s written by a woman, Starxlr8, currently stuck in the D.C. area who longs for the comforts of her Midwestern roots!
Synchronicity or what, people?
Anywho, Dr. Ding has lived a large chunk of her life in the Midwest. It’s only as I’ve grown into my late thirties that I find myself waxing nostalgic for things like Chicago-style deep dish pizza, pork tenderloin sandwiches served at a lunch counter, free parking, big skies, cheap real estate, and the smell of roasted corn. Ah.
I don’t, however, miss having my eyelashes freeze, getting attacked by mosquitoes, and being forced to accept socks that match the turtleneck as “Oh, ya, that’s a real stylish look, there.”

Introducing Dr. Kat
Dr. Ding is proud to introduce to you, my loyal readership, the inimitable Dr. Kathleen Halloran. Accept no substitutes!
Dr. Kat, as she prefers to be called, is in practice near Seattle, WA. She is a delightful person with a fiercely funny and mischievous sense of humor, who also happens to be a highly-trained naturopathic physician of immense talent, wisdom, and compassion.
Dr. Ding met Dr. Kat when they quite literally bumped into one another while attending a conference on spiritual and angelic healing methods in Laguna Beach, California. Dr. Ding, despite possessing catlike grace, occasionally steps directly on people. Big feet, you know.
Despite my podiatric ballet, we got to talking about our various doctorly experiences and theories and became fast friends. We may have even eaten some delicious Kobe beef burgers when we were supposed to be abstaining from meat that week, but I cannot verify this entirely, as I was having an out-of-body experience. Jeebus and Elvis say hi, by the way.
Dr. Kat is, as we say in the South, good people. She just is. She’s also amazingly versatile in the methodologies she employs to treat a wide variety of patients and clients. She fixed my chronically messed-up ankle simply by….well….I’m not exactly sure what she did, to tell you the truth. She basically “scanned” my body’s energy field and somehow tuned into my poor, delicate and very sylphlike ankle and well….I got better!
Prior to that, I’d been hobbling around like a drunken monkey, only with bigger feet. It would be a total understatement to say the healing was “cool” but golldang y’all, it was cool.
Click here to make an appointment. Dr. Kat offers telephone consultations and intuitive energy medicine for those of you not fortunate enough to live in the Seattle area. She’s frickin’ awesome.
