When you google your gurgle . . .

About a month after I started blogging last year, my mom found a website called statcounter.com that will monitor your website and keep track of your stats for you. It's really cool - it tells me how many hits I get a day, what parts of the world my readers come from, and what search terms people are using to land on my blog. Sometimes I like to go read the search terms because I always find them interesting. Of course, I see lots of searches for "beaver nuggets" and feel an automatic kinship to those people because of their love for and curiosity about those little bits of heaven.

But some terms are just, well, mind-boggling. I look at them and I don't know how those search terms brought them to my blog. And I don't think that they found the answers they were looking for on my site. So I thought maybe I'd try to help these folks out.

Here are the search terms and my attempts to provide the necessary information . . .

"Gurgling gagging" - Ummmmmm . . . call 911.

"Cat makes gurgling noises when purring" - Wow. The cat, too? Call the vet STAT.

"Dog heaving gurgling" - Seriously. What's going on in your house?? I think you and your pets are getting gassed or something . . .

"Embalming fluid in ice cream" - Might wanna check the recall notices on that. Could explain the gurgling . . .

"Blood pressure rises thinking of lover" - I feel dirty. Stop looking at my blog. At least until your blood pressure goes down.

"How to get the tooth fairy to write a letter back without a tooth" - Oh boy. Ummmmm . . . I'm not really sure how exactly to break this to you but . . . well . . . you know, maybe you should sit down for this . . .

I hope this helps.

And I hope the gurgling has stopped.

Oh no Catherine! Some kid googled about the tooth fairy, found your blog, read about how YOU were the tooth fairy for your niece, and now he doesn't believe in the tooth fairy, Easter bunny, or Santa! Way to go Catherine. I hope you're proud of yourself.
