My daughter needed surgery in Oz when she was 7 months old. Full anaesthesia. Terrific doctors, professional, well trained, and we never waited more than 5 minutes for anything. Paid cash on the barrelhead. Maybe $2k for the entire thing. If we had done it in the states it would have cost many many times that amount and depending on where we went the service could have been awful.
And the difference between giving birth in Oz vs. Brooklyn? Don’t even get me started.
“having surfed the web to find other comments from people on my condition”
“People talk about you on sites OTHER than Brownstoner, Biff?”
I meant people were commenting on their own experiences with the same issue that I am having. And no, it doesn’t involve erectile dysfuntion or incontinence, thank you very much.
Lech, you think I’m going to fly with the Champs to Australia when I want to kill them after riding two stops on the subway? I’ve been to Australia on my own and was ready to kill myself by the time I got there. Having said that, I absolutely loved the place. Melbourne is more like Toronto than any other city I’ve been too and Sydney is, in my opinion, the most beautiful “modern” city I’ve been to.
Biffo, sorry to hear about the surgery situation. But both Cgar and myself will tell you, don’t read too much into the internet, it will do more bad than good. Find a qualified professional or two (in this case obviously a surgeon of some sort) and speak to them about this.
Kens, exactly. CGar underestimating your skillz – ie he would be MIA if that was the true intent
“DIJON mustard”
Totally agree.
“horseradish is da bomb”
Was just gonna say that, DH. Thanks Donatella. Love horseradish, too. Over Passover, Gefilte Fish is a great vehicle for a LOT of horseradish.

I blame the plaintiffs’ lawyers.

French’s & Hebrew Nat’l on dogs.
Dijon – cooking, salad dressing, pate, ham, cheeses.
Chinese – Duh.
English – Bangers, lamb, scotch eggs.

Kens almost KILLED me. I couldn’t move my arm for DAYS. And I don’t think it was any accident. I think it was an attempted hit job.
If I wanted you dead, you would be already. I took it VERY easy on you. shame shame.

“Cobble, you at least need to use spicy brown mustard on knishes and hot dogs. Hmm, maybe you aren’t really Jewish after all!”
Yes, I actually like that better, but yellow will do!
SHHHH, don’t let CGar hear you say that! ; )
