Hi Dave,


 DD> It's a regional facility, unlike the Mayo Clinic or Cancer Centers of
 DD> America.

 RH> Which is why I never heard of it. My sister that lived in Champaign for
 RH> several years probably knew the name, even tho she had no dealings
 RH> (that I know of) with them.

 DD> She was in the base of operations of the University of Illinois. It's
 DD> odd, though. U of I's medical school is affiliated/located with their
 DD> Chicago campus/school. And S.I.U. whose main campus is in Carbondale a
 DD> long way from their medical campus in Springfield.

And I've never had need of any of them. Passed thru the state a number
of times but only stopped for longer than a few minutes was when we
stopped on our way to AZ in 1993 to visit my sister. Came thru south of
Chicago a few years ago with the camper--roads were horrible!

 DD>      8<----- CLIP ----->8

 DD> Other than the "Tuesday Special" which is dark meat there is no price
 DD> difference between the fron to the bird and back of the bird
 DD> pieces...3

 RH> I've noticed some franchises do have a price differential between white
 RH> and dark. Probably a regional directive or something of that sort.

 DD> As their e-mail "specials" say at the bottom - "prices may vary". I've
 DD> been taking advantage of the Eaqster/4-20 special of a #1 in the US
 DD> rated chicken sandwich for U$4.20. Monday the price goes back to U$5.

Too bad they can't be (at least the chicken part) frozen to enjoy later.
Or is it something easily copu-able?

 DD> They (Popeyes) have come up with another new "special" flavour for
 DD> their chicken sandwiches .... according to their e-mail solicitation
 DD> "Make it tangy too with our NEW Pickle Glaze."  I'll give it a shot

 RH> Sweet pickle or dill? Neither one sounds appealing to me, tho I do like
 RH> the B&B pickles Chick-Fil-A puts on their sandwiches. Sometimes when I

 DD> I tried it yesterday at the currently discounted price. Along with a
 DD> side of fried pickles (think fried tomatoes). I'll order the fried
 DD> pickles in the future - but not the pickle glazed chicken sandwich.
 DD> The dill pickle slicesd and the zippy mayo are all I need/want/desire
 DD> on my chicken
 DD> sandwich .... unless there is a slice of tomato laying about.

On the side sounds much better than glazing the chicken with pickle
juice.

 DD> tomorrow. Doing two doctor appointments today - regular croaker in the
 DD> morning then the pulmonologist this afternoon for a pro-op check
 DD> before they remove something from my right lung.

 RH> I saw my primary care doctor today, had some blood work done last week
 RH> that she looked at. Saw some improvement in some numbers, always a good
 RH> thing.

 DD> And I learned that this next deal is not removal but a biopsy. Dr.
 DD> Taylor described the procedure and the possible outcomes. And what the
 DD> oprions are if the biopsy comes back with the Big C. I present myself
 DD> to Special Procedures at 05:15 next Wednesday for what shoud be an
 DD> out-patient deal.

OK, please keep us posted. Hopefully nothing serious but they just want
to make sure........
