Try some "what's this here" sauce. (Anyone who can actually spell or pronounce that word is practicing witchcraft or is a doctor). It is always a good addition to beef stew. Served over rice.
Didn't Hyundai poach the "good" designer from Audi about 8 years back? Hence why they and kia actually look halfway decent now.
Or is part of New England CSB gang. Wuss ta sheer
I don't think we have any here at work. Maybe if there's leftovers for dinner too I'll give it a shot. Meal was put together over egg noodles

Fun times here. I started medication for Hashimoto's thyroiditis a bit more than a year ago. Now it looks like the thyroid condition is also causing hypoglycemia. Add that to my genetic thalassemia minor blood disease, and it's just a great time

So daughter just got out of surgery. Everything is repaired. Awaiting discharge, staying the night in Lexington, then followup in the morning. Anyone around the area recommend a good seafood joint? She is wanting some.

Probably a little too far to drive, my parents live in Bardstown about 45 mins from Lexington, simply seafood market is excellent

It was not. They used a piece of her own. I'll be getting a few more questions answered in a bit.

Daughter tore her ACL and meniscus. Had surgery today to repair. Partial meniscus and total ACL. All is good now.

Aside from the piss-poor explanation by the store guy, an extra charge makes sense.So I was getting tire mount and balance quotes for various shops in the area for future reference. I was describing a scenario where I am moving tires to a new set of wheels. The guy is like "well normally it's $35 per wheel for mount and balance, but because you're moving tires to a new set of wheels, it's an extra $10 per wheel for the dismount."
"Why the extra charge? Aren't you dismounting old tires normally with a regular mount and balance? In both cases you're taking 4 tires off wheels and putting 4 tires on wheels."
"Yes but you're keeping these tires so it's different."
"Maybe I'm not getting it. Isn't it actually a little less work since you're not storing and disposing the old tires? Is there another part of the process I'm missing?"
"............ I'm not really sure. This is the pricing I have."
1. Normally, the $35 charge is to put new tires on wheels (or rimz) and balance
2. You are asking them to take a tire off of a wheel before you do #1
and yes, normally you'd do #1 before #2, but in this case you need to do #2 before #1
Accordingly, there is additional labor involved - if I understood what you asked.
One local shop wanted to charge me mounting instead of "tire rotation" to take the winter tires (on wheels) off the car and replace them with the 3 seasons (also on wheels). The only additional labor is remove the wheels from the trunk and put the other set back. In this case they wanted $160 instead of $20.
