SO I drove all the way out to Holland for my Dr.'s appointment, against my better judgment.
I get there and sign in. Or TRY to sign in. They have no record of me.
Oh, Dr. Patel? she moved her office over a year ago!
Its now in Olean! BITCHES!
Apparently, you should not rely on the information given on Univera's 'find a doctor' service.
Next question is...
Anybody know of a general practice doctor in BUFFALO that is accepting new patience that also takes Univera? I am irritated with this whole 'choose your own PCP' because I DON"T KNOW HOW TO CHOOSE WHEN YOU DON"T GIVE ME PROPER INFO!
augh. I'm fine. Really.

doctor's and beersI made a doctor's appointment a few weeks ago. Had no Idea with who or where. I know, brilliant, eh?
So this morning I track down the Dr. And find that I have apparently made an appointment in Holland, NY. I'm sure I'm driving to Holland for a doctor. I'm trying to figure out if I care enough to go.
Also, one of my bottles of beer exploded while I was carbonating them. Apparently. The cooler was full of beer that was not in the bottle and I was sad for losing another.
(e:Drew)- How many of those 1 liter bottles do you have exactly? I'm down one, and after over watering my last batch I think Ill be short on bottles.
i have an amazing idea for a halloween costume, but no idea on how to pull it off.

really isn't much of an emergency... I was just having a tough time trying to figure out how to use the 'find a doctor' feature from univera's web page and just called whoever showed up. I just wanted a general checkup and ask them to check my kidneys. I'm going anyway I think...
(e:drew)- I'll trade u 1 full one for 6 empty ones. As long as you return the 1 full one. ha ha

Seriously, Holland, NY? That would have to be quite the mergency appt to bother driving that far. I don't even like it when the doctor is out in the suburbs, let alone rural country side.

tea thoughts!We went to wasabis last night and they served this tea that was so intriguing. I think i drank about 10 of those little cups of it. Literally, we were there for a while...
Anyway - it tasted like sesame. Like if you were to cook water, it might taste like this. Of course I didn't think to ask, and I probably wouldn't have understood her anyways.
Discussion said that it could have been toasted rice tea. Or just sesame oil in hot water. Any thoughts?
oh and PS you all missed a bitchin battle. Well except (e:heidi), who had a damn good time. I think.
Also we went to Ohm lounge and it seemed to be 'hip hop night' or more specifically.... grown and sexy night.
good times except for the rats runnin around on the patio.

I think I have had a green japanese loose leaf tea that tasted like sesame as well. Didn't have toasted rice in it. I didn't know people put toasted rice in tea.

restaurant/cafe/whatever?I need some help finding a place to meet up with some coworkers.
I'm looking for a place with an abundance of finger/appetizer food that isn't all greasy, and includes vegetarian options.
The place needs to be comfortable. Ideally it would be like the couch area at spot coffee. But spot coffee doesn't have big soft chairs. or any degree of privacy whatsoever.
We would like to hang out for hours. And chat. Wine would be nice.
A couple of thoughts had occurred to me. There is an Ethiopian restaurant in Toronto that includes a) sitting on floor and b) eating with hands. but its also c) in Toronto and d) spicy food.
There is also the melting pot - which would be great except for the price tag that I believe is attached to it.
So. That all being said. Any thoughts?

How about Cafe 59 at 59 Allen Street? It has highly customizable food, lots of coffee options, tea, comfy seating - it looks like there's a couch & a couple of wing chairs in a back corner. The place is big enough that if you camp out for several hours no one will mind. Internet access, too. :::link::: Ask them if you can bring your own wine?

3coworkers.... they are actually friends, so this is less about work and more about a big ol bitchfest.
Sahara grill... what is the comfort level there?
I think that home is usually the best place for this, but in this instance, none of our homes are really adequate.
spot does have couches, but lacks seriously on the food list.
we need to rent somebodys home. And a chef. lol

I thought the spot on Delaware had a side section with couches but not sure it has been some time. Not sure where to suggest really.

Aargh. That's so frustrating!
This might not make it easy but is surely a nice informative article on how to choose your primary doc -> :::link:::
Sending in good wishes for you!!! All the best!
I don't know if Dr. Glick takes Univera, but I just chose him as my Doctor because I like the good work he does on the West Side. (He provides care to everybody, with special attention to refurees and poor people) Google Jericho Road Family practice for info.
