F@#k You, Kenmore Mercy
Ok, so, about a year ago, my former primary care doc wanted me to see a nutritionist. I didn't think i needed to, but she did.

My insurance would not cover it. However, they would cover 100% of the cost for "Diabetic Education Classes" (FYI, biggest waste of time unless you want to purchase diabetic products).

I chose Kenmore Mercy because they were close and the classes were good for my work schedule.

I went to 3 classes. I think i could have taught 2 of them.

Flash forward 10 months. I get a bill from Kenmore Mercy. They billed the wrong insurance company.

I called them. Did not return my call. After 3 hours today, i finally got a hold of the "outpatient billing" girl, Melissa's supervisor.

"Oh. We will forward to the correct insurance. Sorry."

WTf?

I've only had bad experiences with Kenmore Mercy Hospital. One time I had 5 stitches pit into my finger by what I thought was the doctor, then the real doctor came in and said the stitches were done all wrong, so he took the all out at redid them. 10 stitches in 20 minutes when I only needed five. It hurt like hell the second time. The craziness part is that a few weeks later the bill came and they charged me for having stiches twice!! And they charged me for some kind of brain exam, which I certainly didn't have.

Where To Eat?
This weekend, some friends are coming upstate from Queens to bring their one and only son to UB for his freshman year. We offered up one of our spare rooms for them and they accepted. They want to take us out to eat as a thank you.

I am looking to (e:peeps) for recommend somewhere. Not exactly sure about their taste and i don't want to go somewhere too expensive. It will be Friday night so i want to be able to make a reservation (they may be used to waiting, but i don't want to have to).

Any suggestions of somewhere that will impress but isn't over the top expensive and offers a variety of foodie options?
leetee - 08/24/11 10:50
Thanks, (e:Mike). I will check them out! Doesn't have to be vegetarian friendly (i do chicken and fish now)!

I like the Delaware a lot Its on Delaware near Sheridan. Not sure there are many vegetarian options there though and maybe not impressive. But good food.

Thanks for the suggestions. Only place i wouldn't consider would be Panos... i fucking hate that place (forgive the swearing, but i hate it that much).

Only 4 people, (e:Uncutsaniflush) and myself, our friends Karyn and her husband Roberto.

I thought of Bistro Europa. Love that place. I just thought they might not want to eat in a place that is cramped for space, like where they live, Queens.

Betty's is a great idea... i like it.

Anyone else have anything? I don't mind driving to the 'burbs if i have to.......

La Tee Dah?

How many people? I would suggest panos (cheaper but lots of options), seabar, or bistro Europa($20-30 per person).

Bat In Our Belfry
There's a bat in our house. Poor thing can't seem to find open doors and windows. We keep thinking the lost creature found its way outside, only to discover it flying around again. Freaks me out a bit... and i like bats! Least i thought i did 'til one decided to move in!
paul - 08/10/11 19:21
Can they be pets?
metalpeter - 08/10/11 17:21
I don't like bats and they freak me out and one recently was in my mothers house lucky for me I didn't need to deal with it..... I'm no expert but I wonder if once they find a way in if cause of their wings they can't get back out the same way.... One would think it would just go out the window but maybe there sonar or what ever it is can't pick up on the fact that the open space is open? Hope it gets out soon and goes no where near your pet rats.....

Maybe remote sound emitters that you could borrow from a dog owner or even a barking dog's neighbour (according to this article: :::link:::

How does one make ultrasonic noise, (e:Tinypliny)?
tinypliny - 08/09/11 09:38
I wonder if you could make a ton of ultrasonic sound somehow so that the bat goes away from the noise and towards the windows/doors.
