That's Berlin sausage, also available at Garage Gourmet.

Fortunately they are available at the market and home delivery. I have Berlin on speed dial. Their loose Italian sausage is to die for and their Kraut is the best I've had since I left Canada-I give it a +12 out of 10 rating.

Hopefully they will start asking what meds we are currently taking and enter that on their App to check for interactions.. So far, we have only been asked once at Lakeside. I have noticed that NOB by all doctors we see. YMMD

 

Then you have the wrong doctors because all mine here have my meds on file .

I get mine at Quality Care. Absolutely no need to go to Guadalajara. Same day results.

jajaajajjajajajajajjaaj!!!. This has got to be the most inane  thread of all time on here.TGIF! -SNORK!

Looks very comfy, once finished with appropriate cushions, leave the wear points! (not the seat) possible remnants of a flower pot??

You have a lot to learn[no disrespect meant]. That is what is left of the ORIGINAL green finish and at one time there was a potty in it[found in an old folks home] and because of that cut out it's only worth $800-1000cdn. I restored it after I got it from a dealer who did this[see foto] to it. Have sat on Windsor chairs most of my adult life. It is the most ergonomically chair design and until i lost almost all my muscled and all my fat I never needed a cushion. If you are suggesting refinish,it would  be worth only about 100-200 bucks Canadian

my mind is boggled!The guy's been here longer than me and doesn't know a simple thing like this?

If it's in my sphere of knowledge i would be more than happy to give you more info on antique items. But also keep posting on what's the oldest antique you have owned.

I am sitting on this circa 1780 hoopback windsor armchair [found in Quebec] at my puter.

Both my licenses were expired for about 1 1/2 yrs and i have my new ones now,no problema.

 I have foot neuropathy caused by my type2 diabetes and COPD and affects my toes and underpad of the front of my feet[right one is worse]. I stopped alot of pucks with that foot plus dropped a 65 lb. anvil on it which destroyed all the cartilage according to a specialist years ago in Canada. After consultation with my GP and 3 other docs of different specialties,I just continue with my Tylenol. I have  high pain threshold though. The front of my feet feel like frostbite and the pads feel weird when I walk like a bulge with no feeling that doesn't belong.

Congrats on your quick sale on Facebook! Here is a Ukrainian storage cupboard that I picked many years ago near Chipman and a Lamont county homestead. Sent you an e-mail

Minor being something pretty simple on an outpatient basis (such as a mole removal, etc.) Are they generally pretty affordable when paying cash? Even where a specialist and a lab study is involved?

There's a dermatologist here that can easily and not to costly do it here with cryo. Can't remember what I paid her.

WHOOPEE! About a 1 minute brown out and the Generac  came on, what seemed like instantly and shut of as soon as CFE came back on.

I have a walnut and marble bedroom suit from the 1850's.  It came from a Louisiana plantation and a newspaper here in Oklahoma did an article on it.  As you know bed length's were shorter back in those days and as I am 6'1'  a great fit it is not.  I had a special mattress and box springs made for it.  The bed is shorter and wider than a regular size.

Renaissance Revival and the more or less standard length of beds was 72" and the general width of 19th century beds was 48".

I bought this circa 1725 Philadelphia ladder back arm chair before I started picking for a living. Had a rush seat made for it. the finials were removed and the feet cut sometime before 1850 as that is probably when the black paint was applied over the original red. Sold it for $1000CDN.

Any hardware store for spray can.

I have two family heirlooms: a Sheridan style cherry wood drop leaf table and a shelf clock with wooden gears. I have been told by several dealers that the style of table was popular in New England in the 1830's. The clock maker was in business from the mid 1820's to the mid 1830's. 

It's  "Sheraton" style. Sheraton was an English designer only  but never actually made anything. That style in England dates back to the 4th quarter 18th century. In  the US  the period and style is called Federal from 1810-1840. Country makers carried on making tables like that into the 1880's and they were made in more states and provinces than New England.  . Do you know the clock makers name?

The worldwide definition of antique is 100yo+. The exception is motorized vehicles which is  25+

What's the oldest thing that y'all have ever owned?

I've found the local buy/sell sites on FaceBook to be much better for finding or selling stuff.

Very useful site for buying and selling.

The thought of saving water by replacing grass w river stones/lava rock is appealing. a couple of questions:
1. Replacing grass with river stones could potentially cause an increase in surface temperatures. I'm assuming you haven't noticed any difference or the increase has been bearable, even in the hotter months?
2. Does lava rock create a habitat for scorpions?

No increase in temp. in our river rock which takes up considerable space in our courtyard.

WHAT??? Seriously, I haven't a clue what you're trying to say. 

FWIW, this isn't a pissing contest to find a winning hospital; it's just a place where folks post their experiences. The difference is that you don't seem to accept that many folks have had bad experiences there. You've had good ones, terrific; however, I stand by the fact that if I hadn't ignored their indifference to my hubby's condition and gone elsewhere, he would be dead now. I took him to the HSAT ER and he was given nothing more than a drip and placed on a monitor (BP, etc) that kept fritzing out. He had bloodwork but it wasn't interpreted, nor did anyone say "Oh, shit!" when looking at the results that were so red flag that Ray Charles could have interpreted them. That isn't a fake posting or a promotion for RMC (they weren't involved), but a fact. You can continue to use them and power to you. As for me, I wouldn't risk it.

My cardio,who's cell# I have, worked with their people[emerg personnel] over the phone  so he could give them the PROPER instruction to save my life. Again in this iddy biddy demographic more people have posted positives about HSAT than negative.

Happyjillin just does not understand that we are describing our experience with this physician.  It upsets him. He thinks we are creating fiction and is taking it personally.  He is defensive child and you cannot reason with this type even though no one has criticized him. Best to ignore at this point.

You and yer bag of snakes can not upset me. no nimrod on this board can do that and the ones who think they can, I laugh in your face. I have helped more people on this board than the likes of you ever will even you.
