  1. This place is awesome. Unseen in the top of the second picture was the seafood hushpuppies. As you can see, they were awesome. The dish was duck hash. Very good

    Chicken and biscuits. Holy hell I want so bad

    I probably gained 40# on this trip. Need a salad cleanse for the rest of the month. 9f21a732ad94f27621bc8d11e0b8dfea.jpg6e8aff529f07a9fb55e29ef6fff73f0f.jpg1076ecdc55a6bb00872e0a2c2f01e8d8.jpg

  2. I land tomorrow at 8:30 AM.  Checking in to my wife's hotel (she's been there all week) and then I'm off to du Monde for some coffee and beignets.  I'm taking a cooking class starting at 10 AM for 3 hours and then the rest of the day to myself.  I'm thinking Drago's for dinner?  Wife is free starting Friday and we're going to Atchafalaya, GW Fins, Cochon, and Ruby Red Slipper.  What else should we get into -- food, drink, or otherwise?

  3. When my wife taught 4th grade math, every year they would have multiple night time meetings with a roomful of angry parents because of this.  The angriest were usually engineer dads who never struggled a bit in math and couldn’t understand how anyone could find the old way difficult.  It really offended them that the teachers wouldn’t stick with the method that worked so well for them. 
    I know they were engineers because this is the first thing they would tell her before they splained how she should do her job.  It drove her crazy since has 2 masters degrees (evolutionary fish biology and education) along with 2 BS’s (biology and chemistry) and her dad is one of the top physicists in the world.  She is pretty good at maths, especially at a forth grade level.
    Funny. Her picture isn't showing up

  4. I’m looking for a place to have a group friend trip with kids.  I have a good friend who has stage 4 metastatic breast cancer – her 5 year survival rate is about 20%.  To maximize the joy in her life, we’re trying to schedule as many friend trips with her as possible.   The stipulation for most trips will be that kids will be attending – all under the age of 5, which will make things a challenge b/c don’t want to be isolated to our rooms once naptime/bedtime commences. 

     

    Do any of y’all know what options are available where we can all have separate rooms, but still be a baby monitors lengths away so the adults can socialize, drink, etc?  The group would roughly be around 5-10 families, depending on everyone’s availability.  I’ve thought of maybe getting a group of cabins together around Broken Bow as long as they are close enough together where we can congregate.  Any other options?  Specific examples/links would be appreciated.  Most of us are located in DFW area but obviously are able to travel a reasonable distance (via car)

    Might be worth a shot to try the state when it comes to lowering your bill.  From what I can tell, the first step is mediation with the doc over the phone, and if the consumer is not satisfied, a formal hearing.  What doc is going to want to go to a hearing or send a rep.  I bet any charge gets cut in half easily during the phone call.
    Also don’t be afraid to tell the high charging facility you are reporting them to the local consumer affairs reporter.  They might lower the bill by $500 just to prevent the reporter from showing up outside.
    unfortunately telling a doc or facility that you’re not paying and to ding your credit does very little but make you feel better and they ding your credit. 
    Lulz at this guy thinking a doc handles his own billing and would need to personally go to a hearing.

  6. You wouldn't want to see what we bill..

     

    DME (Durable medical equipment) has an absurd markup and it's where large practices make a good amount of revenue.  You're likely going to have to just pay the bill.  Next time something like this occurs, just tell them "thanks, but no thanks" and get your own.
