    Another case of HMO woes?

    Like I said, I'm on an HMO myself and have never had any problems. However, it has been seven days since she was admitted in hospital, and she has yet to be released. As it turns out, her gall bladder was totally ruined and gall stones were up her bile duct. They initially performed a...

    Another case of HMO woes?

    So my aunt had been complaining about a stomach problem she's had since November. Every time she's been to her MD, he dismisses it as a stomach flu and dispenses whatever prescription meds he thinks will work that time. Fast forward to last week, when my aunt says she's had the same...

    Woodbury Town Center Store Closing

    Pialago *is* expensive. Took my two throws for dry cleaning and got a $60 bill. I shop at Ralph's pretty much every day--it's not the busiest but I don't think that they're all that slow, either.

    Caterers or Restaurants with Catering Menus

    Nope, not yet. Right now the dad-to-be is thinking he'd like to do either good Chinese, or BBQs from Tulsa Rib since they have boneless ribs anyway. The guest count upped by 40% though, so I'm sure the food will depend heavily on how much we could stretch their budget. Thanks for the ROTR...

    Caterers or Restaurants with Catering Menus

    Thanks, guys! I think I will go down the restaurant-that-caters routes. Aside from priciness, the actual caterers just seem to have uninspired menus.

    Caterers or Restaurants with Catering Menus

    AO, much as I'd like to agree with you, I may receive some form of beating if I were to suggest that ;-P Thought about Chinese, though, and am considering the Jade Palace off Irvine Blvd and Culver. Aside from that, the only other place in the running is Tulsa BBQ. So I'm still...

    Caterers or Restaurants with Catering Menus

    My buddy's already secured one of the Woodbury apt clubhouses for the event, so the next big ticket item is the food. The event starts at 5 PM, so I guess you could call it an early dinner? The mom-to-be used to hate chinese food in her first trimester but we already went to SamWoo's the...

    Caterers or Restaurants with Catering Menus

    My buddy's girlfriend is about to pop and he wants to hold a surprise baby shower for her. I've been given the lovely task of finding viable food options, and was also given free rein as far as cuisine is concerned. The guests will be predominantly asian, with a few whiteys/non-asians...

    Straw poll on gay marriage

    I'm so disappointed. Looking at the juxtaposition between Obama's victory and Prop 8's defeat, all I could say (since last night) was WTFFFFF.

    3000 things to say

    Troop, Thanks for sharing your story, that was awfully magnanimous of you. Personally, I'm voting no on 8 since I'm surrounded with gays in my life as well. I attended an exclusive Catholic high school and in our little circle of 16 friends, I was the only straight "outcast" ;-P That...

    Biden v. Palin

    I liked how she kept saying <em>nyoo-koo-lar</em>, just like Bush. And I'm not a fan of the <em>EYE-rack</em> pronunciation of Iraq, either.

    Now would be a good time to get out of WaMu

    Are any of the WAMU accountholders here planning on bailing out and opening an account with other banks? Why/why not? Just wanted to hear (in a manner of speaking--hmm--writing) the other members' opinions.

    Tips for leasing an IAC apartment

    "More people will come if they think there's punch and pie!" One of my all-time fave random SP quotes. Thanks for the tips, Cuatro. They're very helpful. Planning on talking to LC either today or tomorrow, will let you guys know how it goes. Wish me luck, too, 'cause assertiveness in...

    Tips for leasing an IAC apartment

    I am loving this post. Perfect timing, too, because I just got the renewal letter from one of our LC's. I'd like to pick your brain before I call them up to renew. So yeah, firstly, I'm pretty set with re-signing my lease. I live in Woodbury Lane and I love it there. I have a 1X1 on the...

    <em>Mass hysteria, also called collective hysteria, mass psychogenic illness, or collective obsessional behavior, is the sociopsychological phenomenon of the manifestation of the same or similar hysterical symptoms by more than one person. A common manifestation of mass hysteria occurs when a...

    Anniversary Party Dinner

    Point well taken :-) Least you've got something lined up for the next quiet happy-hour-with-close-friends trip. Hey, how about order the party packages at like Lucille's or something? They have huge servings (we've already ordered from them this way and there were a ton of leftovers).

    IAC Raising Lease Break Fee

    bltserv, keep us posted, will ya? And good luck. btw, got my survey in my inbox yesterday. Already formulating my choice comments. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of things that I love about my apartment, but there is also much to be desired (parking is the dumps, for example).

    Anniversary Party Dinner

    k.o., hope I'm not too late to pitch in my two cents. I was reading the Register yesterday and a review on this new bistro at HB caught my eye. It's got a lounge feel to it, so I think it'll give you and your guests a good vibe. Users rave about the appetizers, so I dunno, maybe you could just...
