I want plastic surgery!

Dr. 44313...anyone, anyone? by Paula Neal Mooney

I admit it, I'm hooked on Dr. 90210 - the completely addictive E! documentary that shows real-life plastic surgery patients, their surgeries (not for the squeamish) and not only the patients' lives, but the inside lives of their docs.

Perhaps you too have grown to love Dr. Robert Rey -- the warm-hearted, martial-arts practicing and self-aware Beverly Hills plastic surgeon throughout Season 2 and Season 3 of Dr. 90210; laughed at yet sympathized with his gorgeous wife, Hayley, as she birthed his two kids and struggled to find herself in a lonely multi-million dollar mansion filled mostly with her and her brood as Dr. Rey worked long hours to try and foot the bill for said manse.

This season of Dr. 90210 proves to be even more addictive with the addition of John Diaz, M.D., a Queens, New York, bred doc specializing in breast and facial plastic surgery. Dr. Diaz is a hot new Latin doc who is just cutting his teeth -- or ten blade, as it were -- and entering the surgery room alone, but you can tell is already completely capable. I'm ready to hop a flight to LAX...

Also lovable is Dr. David Matlock, (can I scream from the rafters how happy I am to see a smart, accomplished brother doc on Dr. 90210...finally!) a self-proclaimed woman-loving feminist, whose designer laser vaginal rejuvenation and liposculpturing specialties will no doubt supply endless hours of awe-inspiring voyeurism.

Just last night I was amazed to watch Dr. Matlock give a pretty black woman a G-shot. Who even knew G-shots existed? (Certainly not I, and if you want more info on G-shots, you'll have to Google it 'cause I'm not necessarily promoting it, though I'm sure G-shots can help many married women suffering in silence.)

If only my beloved doc, Joseph F. Zebari, M.D., FACOG, an ob/gyn at Gynecology & Obstetrics of Northeast Ohio, were on Dr. 90210, I'd do it in a minute. I love Dr. Zebari. He's seen me thru plenty of stuff over the past decade, and I'm all the better for his God-directed surgeon's hands.

I keep telling Dr. Zebari to stop being so media shy. He is so highly skilled. Plus, he's a Christian, exactly the kind of believer you want working on you when you go under the happy drugs that zonk you out and under a person's ten blade.

"Your prayers worked," said Dr. Zebari upon greeting me in my recovery room after a major surgery I had in January 2004. As Dr. Zebari went on to explain how he expertly excised one of my organs from another as he impacted my other organs up and away, I realized just how much one must trust and believe in not only The Great Physician, but also their great physician.
But Dr. Zebari cautions me to think twice about certain plastic surgeries -- this is how I know he's such a good doc focused on his patients' health -- not referral fees and the like. And of course my own heart makes me pause about spending a few grand that could nicely go to a place like Sisters in Service instead and feed lots of hungry chidren.

These are all smokescreens and excuses, though, for not walking boldly into my God-written destiny despite naysayers...especially my own loud naysaying voice in my head that tries to keep me in bondage.

I know about the creation of wealth, about things that are meant to be and things that aren't. I know there is room for me to continue to be a good steward without sliding all the way down the slippery slop of narcissism. So who knows? If a Christ-centered Christian doc in my area reads this -- preferably one who's a master in Krispy-Kreme type mastopexies (if you know what I mean) -- and I feel so led, I might not need to hop that plane to la-la land after all...

Since I'm fascinated with how much money bloggers and webmasters are making nowadays, I've created a similar list -- a random sampling of people making money on the net.

It's bigger and better than ever before with more pics, and double the amount of bloggers, webmasters, domainers, affiliate marketers (or a smidgen of some or all of those titles) and their reported incomes.

UPDATE: PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK TO DIGG THIS STORY AND TELL DIGG TO PLAY FAIR... by Paula Neal Mooney Many of us know the power of Digg.com, dreamed up by Kevin Rose, who touted it as a "user driven" site that says it allows the general public to determine the stories they want to see make it to the front page by voting for interesting articles they find across the web. The more votes the public gives an article, the better chance it should have to make it to the front page. Theoretically... The power of Digg's front page Digg.com -- according to Alexa -- is now more popular than The New York Times. Getting one of your articles or blog posts to the front page of Digg.com will get your website seen by plenty of eyes. John Chow experienced a one-day traffic record of 55,856 page views when one of his posts hit the front page of Digg.
