Poor People and Rich people

Thanks, Joani. I had a feeling the butter was the thing because the best grits are always swimming in butter.

well I lived in New Orleans for many years our thing is a big pot --steaming shrimp-crabs-crawfish -onions -corn - potatoes -- yip-yeeeee I guess that's what I call my BBQ---Id rather keep my Cajun food --put news paper down on about 3 long tables and pour it down the center in a long line -put chairs all around table and dig in -I don't BBQ much -Oh no cant forget my raw -and fried oysters   

After I get my house worked on - im going to do this and invite all of you   

Not much I like more than a cajun boil and cold beer.

I love it.

I think I have mentioned this before.My mother got sick during a vacation in Germany several years ago and had to be rushed to a German hospital for emergency surgery. She stayed 8 days. She said the care was phenomenal compared to the US and she goes to UCSD in Lajolla,Ca.

My sister's sister in law called me from a hospital in France years ago....she described her symptoms and I told her she had a kidney stone. She called back several days later and reported she had had an appendectomy and felt better. A week or so after her surgery she flew home. While in flight she developed the same symptoms she had before surgery...when the plane landed she went to SHH.....she had a kidney stone and more than likely a normal appendix remove in France.

On the other hand my brother had a complete diagnostic work up ($250.00 US dollars) in Thailand. During one of the three scans they spotted a microscopic tumor on his bladder...he was asymptomatic. He returned to the States and had surgety a week later. The doctors at Tripler Hospital could not believe they found that small of a tumor on the scan.

So it's a crap shoot.
