Hurricanes Lounge XXIX: The "Hot and Cold" edition

[NotOpie]

Because I have to, it's actually "Apex Barbecue Road" in Apex.

Because it must be differentiated from Saxapahaw Barbecue Road.....

 

[HisIceness]

New rule. Anyone who moves to NC must live on a street with barbecue in the name.

 

[Unsustainable]

As long as the asphalt is South Carolina mustard based thats all that matters.

And just like the roads in SC, it’s horrible

You are half right my friend

SC mustard sauce is the GOAT
SC roads and drivers are WOAT

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Sure beats Chapel Hill Caviar Lane.

Can anyone help a fella out with some free likes?

They are not free. You are now the product.

You don’t want to down this path. Trust me.

At one point, because I was drunk of course, I made a sandwich from one of the bbq food trucks that used to frequent Raleigh brewing that was a mix of all three sauces: sc, eastern, and western. It was surprisingly not bad, and the next time they came they had it on the menu as "the blasphemy"

I’m going to be making BBQ tomorrow, it won’t involve SC.

The Blasphemy sounds like a good name for a beer that hipsters would drink. It also sounds like a good name for a hipster band.

Was thinking more death metal band wise

Definitely sounds like an imperial stout or double ipa beer wise.

You chose... wisely.



"It's an obscure band you probably haven't heard of."
"I don't know, it's pretty well-known in our circles."

At work, opening my laptop and connecting it to the internet through the wifi hotspot shared from my mobile phone, and I always feel like goddamn Johnny Mnemonic.

Huge sigh of relief today, in 2 weeks, should have my wife’s 15,000 in medical bills paid off.

Her surgeries was around 1 million in total, her medication is 16,000 a unit every 6 weeks.

My out of pocket is 6,500. So doesn’t much.

every single one of those numbers is completely insane

My wife just got offered a job, and it's close to doubling her current pay. And they want her so bad, they're offering me a job too, with a 10% raise over my current pay. 3 hours away.

**** I thought we were done moving around. I'm too old for this ****

Her first surgery took around 10 hours, second around 4 hours. Then 10ish days in the hospital each time.

What was the surgery for, if you don’t mind me asking?

I recently paid off my hospital visit for a shoulder dislocation. Felt like a weight was taken off my shoulders (lol) when it was all paid for. Of course between that and the visits to the physical therapist my bank account took a hit. And it's all because the stupid basketball rimmed out on me, I make that shot and the game is over and we all go home ready to do it again the next week.

Canada - Health Care paid for by the government but prices controlled through the Free Market/Captilism = Socialist

United States - Health Care paid for by the free market but prices/regulations heavily controlled by the Government = Captilisim.

The logic behind this has always baffled me

The dirty little secret of the GOP is they buy into socialism just as much, if not more, as the liberals they so despise, they just make sure to disavow it loudly and pin it on the "other" side.

The only difference is they pump the socialist dollars into failing businesses, corporate muckety-mucks and the whims of corrupt lobbyists instead of actual people - the rich and powerful need their golden parachutes, but that brown lady over there with the three kids? She just made poor life decisions and should suffer all the consequences.
