Many years ago I went to ER with (I didn’t know what it was at the time) a fungus underneath my toenail. Nothing was obvious but the pain was BAD. They thought I was looking for drugs and just put me in a corner and sent me home after several hours. The next day I went to my doc and he drilled a hole in my nail to relieve the pressure. Meds. I ended up losing that nail.
I know someone who had to pay 40,000 to have pipes replaced under cement basement floor (and all the way to the street). Either that or a port-a-potty in the back yard…and they were the ones that lasted the most in that expensive neighborhood. I think the house was built late 60’s. I’m so glad I have a crawlspace.
Steak and Shake here have s sign on the door that says nothing over $20. Yesterday I went to buy stamps and was asked if I had something smaller than a 20. PS. A book of stamps may cost that much next year the way things are going.
Because it’s cheaper than going to eat and you’re surrounded by caffeine addicts you can identify with. I only go there when meeting a friend. This friend had some crab cakes for LUNCH and it cost her $30. She did say they were wonderful and included a 20% tip.
More gas stations used to offer a discount for cash, but maybe that money was encouraging robberies…I remember signs on Florida doors that use of a weapon would be automatic jail time. Wonder if if stopped anyone. Some stores had floor safes where you slid money if the register went above a certain amount.
Make that 2-3 cups. The first one just wakes up your stomach.
