Oy, my brother and one of my best friends, who live in cheapass parts of the country, are challenging the repair costs. And believe me, I google the parts costs and have (and will) asked pointed questions at the mechanics. And have won some. But a) she had a fucking 70s beetle that her dad and brother fix and b) he buys salvage/at-auction parts and spends umpteen hours doing the work himself. Neither have EVER dealt with a dealer, much less a big city mech. Yay, they save money, but I don't have the time nor the free labor.
I don't do car repair. I live on the east coast in an urban center. I'm going to pay a premium.
I went to the doctor today, and she fixed me.
Woooooo!
Thanks, Debet. That's kind of what I figured.
JZ, that's fantastic! And think of the money you'll save now that you don't have to take a trip to Lourdes.
[winky emoticon goes here]
I could never have afforded Lourdes. The best I could hope for is a pilgrimage to the Madonna Inn.
Yay, JZ.
Yeah, I'm willing to pay for car repairs because I lack the expertise.
Well, dude, JZ. Not bad...
Kat, it wasn't even funny. The non-room they had me in was big, so I was joking that my friend with the sick daughter could come down, we could share oxygen...maybe catch up on MRSA...enh, nurses are pretty easy. If they're the laughing type, they'll laugh.
I was at least a couple hours in the waiting room at RRUCLA, and half the people there (pretty full--a full ER waiting room is when strangers are sitting directly side by side) were wearing masks either from having or not wanting to have. SM? I don't know. I was never in the waiting room. Also, the nurse is allowed to dispense 50mg of Benadryl before a doctor sees me. Dr. PopCulture needed to see me before the dilaudid, and he remembered me anyway. He's a bit chunkier, but his hair is the same.
I don't want to go back there, oddly. I fear I will break them, and then there will be nowhere--they do share electronic records with RR, but they didn't seem to care I was ER shopping.
Okay, I swear the pregnant actress in The Mentalist hasn't stood up in weeks, and her clothes don't even touch her.
Yeah, we just watched The Mentalist. She's practically in mumus at this point, bless her heart. The actress did just have the baby.
