Or, you can do all the research in the world and get a great doctor, who may just be having a bad day like everyone else does and make a mistake, they are only human. Once case that comes to mind is the doctor who amputated the wrong leg, OOPS! Can't put it back!


Probably happens more than you can imagine!! I know a few of the hospital were I have worked at have a "time out" to ensure they are operating on the right person, right body part,lol

We have had friends that had LASIK in Columbia and the service they received was top notch! Like anything else, 1 has to research it

Well its actually starting to become a big business---"holiday medical procedures" Was a big article in Time magazine not too long ago! One can goto India for heart surgery, receive world class service, and have a holiday prior (or after) and it is still far cheaper to have it in the USA! And some of these places will interact with ur regular Dr here in the USA!

1 of the best places in the world to get LASIK is in Colombia! World leaders in it and much much cheaper!!!


Colombia, as in South America or District? blink.gif DC isn't far from me!



Nope, not DC,lol I know people that for work get down to Columbia, and if they need LASIK, thats where they get it!! LOT cheaper! Belive it was actually engineered by a DR in Bogota Columbia!

the pickle story,lol--refresh my memory---but I believe Walmart pretty much forced the pickle people to sell their product at such a low low price to walmart, the pickle people made very little or lost $$ on the deal!!

showing ur #### is being violated?? They did their jobs! her name was on a list, wasn't as if the just made stuff up. Sure they can take fingerprints, but unlike CSI, NCIS, etc a match just doesn't take seconds. Like i said before, people want to be safe, but when extra security measure are taken against them, they get in a big huff!!

Didn't know CDN citizens could not be criminals,lol

If it were your wife that this happened to would you feel the same way?



I would have no problem with it! I have no problems with extra screening. Sure it sucks and slows things down, but thats why we arrive early for flights. I would rather much be safe than be blown up in small tiny pieces!

I'm sure they always have at least 2 people--for safety sakes--to verify stuff, and to act as a witness

Gimme a break!! her namer matched an alleged criminal! So they did their jobs and checked!! Sure a pic works, but people do come up with good disguises. People like their freedom and to feel safe, but not at their expense!!


So the only way for them to tell if she is really the criminal is by looking at her butt for a tattoo? What about fingerprints? And so everytime she leaves and re-enter the country, she will be subject to arrest just due to having the same name as a criminal? The only solution, they said is for her to change her name? That's ridiculous


Its a quick way of doing it!! Not as if she bared her #### in front of everyone else waiting in line. People want to be safe, yet dont want the extra security measures--or they dont mind them--until they have to go thru them!! They have this new "x-ray" machine at some airports that they are trialling, but some have complained it shows too much, as in private parts,lol

Brakes good to go on the Scion! Picked us up a new Vizio 32" LCD HD at Costco today! The picture was maybe a tad below what the Sony and Samsung were, but at $130 difference, not worth it! The reviews were excellent. Plus costco gives 1 a 90 day window to return it, plus they tack on an extra years warranty! Have Verizon FIOS HD extreme on the way--Install June 23---so updated our TIvo to the HD DVR. Been a $$ day,lol But we agreed not to eat out for 2 months and me cut out my Starbucks. So as an extra benefit, a bit healthier.


Cool! Will it be hooked up in time for the big game?


No,lol!!! Stil in its box!! I watch the game on a small tv in my office! hmm, i could set i tup, as it is on NBC, and I think its on HD "over the air" hmmmmm

Tickets are from my wifes aunts work place. Awesome tickets she gets from her work--and they quite often go unused!!


Well, I can see why you wouldn't go if there was a ball game on, but you should seriously get the ball game tickets if you can go to one game. Live games are so much fun!


I find them extremely boring,lol I must have ADD. Their new stadium is top notch, but they sure are not getting the fans out to see it.

Like anything, sometimes you get what you pay for. They may use a poorer quality underlay, padding, carpet, etc! Lot of bad reviews about Empire. They are known to quote you a low estimate (not in ur case,lol) then when it comes to the actual payment, they nickel and dime you to death. Lot of not so good stories about home depot too, lol But of course, people are more likely to post something if they have received bad service,vice good.
