My daughter, husband, and I went to dinner at the Outback Steakhouse in Mesa, Arizona on April 27th and had the worst experience EVER. After waiting for a table for about 45 minutes, we were excited that our wait time was less than the sassy hostess had said (1 hour 40 minutes). I picked up my ice tea in my left hand and as I normally do held my 5 year old daughters hand with the right. On our way to our table I noticed a little bit of water on the floor. Just as I was thinking that it could be dangerous because their floors are extremely slippery and hard wood my left ankle slipped and twisted on the water and I fell to my left knee. As I tried to catch myself with my other leg I fell and I dropped my ice tea in attempt to save my daughter who I could feel falling as well on my right hand side. I caught myself with my chin on the hardwood floor and tried to pick myself up as quickly as possible because I could hear my daughter crying, my attempt of catching her was not a success. When I got up I was in shock that it had happened in front of a room full of people and that my daughter was in pain. I asked the hostess to please take us to our seats so I could gather myself. When I sat down I "inspected" my daughter to make sure she was okay and there was no bloodshed, unfortunately noticed my left elbow was bleeding. The manager came up to us right away and took my daughter's and my name and said that he was mortified about what happened and that "he was not trying to buy us off but he would like to buy us dinner." I agreed that would be nice and the rest of the staff seemed to be really nice to try to accommodate us even bringing ice for our knees and cherries to try to calm my daughter down. I received a band-aid from the manager and calmed down as best as I could I was in extreme pain, but I did not want to ruin what should have been a great "date night" with my husband and my daughter. My knees were throbbing along with my elbow and my back and neck seemed to hurt because of the way I twisted when I fell. I just kept trying to tell myself that I was okay and they seemed to be really nice about the whole thing. However, when they brought the bill to us they did not comp the whole meal they ONLY took off my portion, not even my daughters who also fell. My husband seemed to be in a much more sound mind than myself and calmly told the waitress that they needed to take my daughters meal off as well if the were only going to comp those who fell, the waitress kindly did. However, this weekend has been a living hell I have not left my bed because I am in extreme pain from my bruising to my knees and elbow and the pain in my back and neck are awful. I will be visiting my doctor and a lawyer tomorrow to see what steps I should take. I would compensation and if the only way I will be getting that is to take legal action....I will.
Oh jasmin, jasmin, jasmin. I'm not to judge your situation or level of pain or need forcompensation or legal action. You sound like a saavy, very smart lady.I do wish you the best of luck in your endeavors. I hope you and yourchild have no long term chronic irretractible pain. The problem is, you should have contacted Legal council before postinga letter like this on any public website, flyer, newspaperadvertisement, or even telling your friends and or family. Their firstadvice is to close your piehole. Why? Because anything you say can andwill be used against you. Watch an episode of Law and Order, or somecourt or cop show. Its true in real life too. By publicizing your letter, you leave the door open to the other sideto make a strong case against you no matter what the facts of the caseare.They have people who know ways to find any information they needto poke holes in your lawyer's defense. They're very shrewd and goodat what they do.They take pictures of you doing things without yourconsent and it's perfectly legal. They take notes, snoop on the net,in your trash, and talk to your neighbors. Their second piece of advice? Go directly to the emergency room within12-24hours of the incident. Why? because it lends validity to yourcase and it documents that an injury or injuries actually occurred onthat date. Third, They usually advise you to call the cops andAmbulance. Why? Because it memorializes the incident, takes thirdparty, non biased witness statements as to the actual circumstances ofthe case. (people besides your husband who saw it happen and have nointerest in your winning or losing a case. It's fact finding. VoirDire (the right to know what the other side has against your case)assures a fair trial. That's a process the professionals shouldexplain, not me. Fourth, Insist that the manager of the premisis write and file a thingcalled an "Incident Report" Why? Because it again memorializes inwriting what information they have verified, any admission or denialof evidentiary minutae (was the puddle icey, water, soda, beer, snowor slush from the outside, when was the hardwood floor last waxed andbuffed, etc) They take pictures of your injuries, the conditionspresent at the time, etc...so your lawyer has some idea what angletheir lawyer may take. Fifth, Your lawyer can recommend certainprofessionals (doctors, psychiatrists, pain management clinicians,test locations, and places to go for second opinions. Why? Because thelawyers give certain people a cut of whatever they make if theirinformation leads to a favorable outcome. It's sad but true. Ithappens in real life every day (can you believe it- dishonest lawyersand doctors?) I'm sorry if this information upsets you, but it's all commonknowledge. You don't sit in pain and enjoy a few free meals while theworld keeps turning on it's axis then complain and get an extra compedmeal. It shows that the pain couldn't have been half as bad and it'sjust dosent' pass the sniff test. Again, I'm not judgeing you, everyone else seems to have their mindsmade up and have beat this dead horse. The above information may meana difference of being compensated say 30000 by the insurance company.(At this point i'd take anything just to avoid a trial) Or a muchhigher sum, perhaps enough to live well, pay your childs education,and get treatment for any injury you may or may not have recieved. Since the damage has already been done and this bell can't be unrung,I do wish you the best. Keep us informed and rest assured, there arepeople who believe you.
Scroll down to the posts with my name and tickytack's name and you'llget a good explanation as to why there is no lawsuit to be had.
Well technically, if you saw the water before you slipped the defensecould say that you went through intentionally. Your lawyer's going tohave to be pretty good to bypass that. So just hope that OutbackSteakhouse has a crappy lawyer.
If you saw the water before you slipped in it then their lawyer mayaccuse you of being an opportunist. While they are responsible forkeeping safety in the restaurant, their lawyers are going to protectthemselves from what you may admit doing. If there is a water spillit needs a wet floor sign though. So in that case there could also benegligence. That's why they have insurance policies too. Just in caseof human oversight or accidents. If you have acrued doctor bills youmay be able to send them directly to them provided they werepertaining to the fall only. If you are not seriously injured thatmay be all you will get. A lawsuit is timely and costly and notalways worth it unless you have permanent damage. I wish the best of luck to you and that you don't have any seriouspain.
i mean why do people think that just because they fall it is anautomatic excuse for a lawsuit. ok so you fell, i have seen manypeople fall in theoutback i work at and they don't threaten to sue.they still comped you meal, but know you want legal action....mhmmmseen it all and heard it all
mmm, sounds like they made a reasonable attempt to make up for a slipand fall that resulted in a bruise or two, and a scratch. I take it no bones were broken? Yeah. Can you say frivilous lawsuit?
I just fell Thursday, 6-1-06, at a nail salon. Apparently, the personwho was giving a client a pedicure, sloshed water on the floor. I didnot see the water on my way back from getting my eyebrows waxed inanother section of the salon. I slipped and fell. Of course it hurt, but I didn't break bones, thank goodness. The twowomen helped me up and everyone, including me just laughed. When Ireturned home, my lower back tightened up and the pain really got moreintense. But I just took two motrins and put an icepack on my backfor a couple of hours then a heating pad for about a half-hour. Myhusband, before bedtime, applied some Icy "Cool" oinment on my lowerback and also placed a Tiger balm "cool patch" on the same area. TA-DA!!! I was in no pain the next morning. I'm a middle-aged woman,mid 40's, and suffer from other ailments. But thinking about suing, NAH!!! You'll just get tied up for approximately 3 years, with lawyerjargon, tons of paperwork, doctor's appts., specialists appts., MRI's,Cat scans, X-rays. If you are employed, can you afford to take thistime off? You have a small daughter, are you able to care for her? Their lawyers will want to know this as well. Do you or your husbandhave decent insurance coverage? The system moves very, very slowly. There were no broken bones or compound fractures. You didn't go tothe hospital immediately or asked for an ambulance to be dispatched tothe restaurant and you moved from the location where you fell on youreven with assistance. You stayed and ate a "comped" meal. You didn'teven go to the emergency room after leaving the restaurant. You weremore concerned about your daughter and husband not getting comped thangoing to the hospital - you stated that you were in so much pain, whydidn't you? This restaurant can afford to pay for better lawyers thanyou. Can you afford to retain a good attorney? Hope so!! Think about it very carefully before rushing into a lawsuit! As for me, I called the owner of the nail salon about my mishap andwill be comped with a free "spa day"!!!
Good lord I'm sick of the word "sue". (No offense to anyone namedSue). From what I can tell, the staff response was immediate andexceptional, the meals for the "injured" were free, and you were ingood enough condition to sit and eat your free food. If it was thatbad, you should have had the restaurant call an ambulance. I can tellyou right now the "steps you should take": take it easy for a coupledays, put ice on it, put Neosporin on your elbow, and watch whereyou're walking from now on. Your weekend was living hell? No, dyingof AIDS is a living hell.
Your initial pain, suffering, and the chronic pain that might followare serious considerations. It sounds like Outback was negligent andthey need to compensate you for the consequences of the accident. Filea report with the local city or county office that supervisesrestaurants. See a doctor and find out what was damaged. If there isno permanent damage, send Outback a letter stating that you haven'tretained an attorney, but you reserve the right to do so, and then layout your settlement offer as an itemized list. I'd ask for fullreimburesement of medical expenses, rehabilitation expenses, any lostwages, and $10K-$40K for pain and suffering (depending on the lengthof time for recovery). If there is permanent damage, or if they balk at your offer, you needto hire an attorney to represent you.
Whether or not this woman is truly injured, saw the water ahead oftime, etc. means nothing discussed on this board. Suing is a crapshoot. Some people have totally legit cases thrown out of court, andothers manage to scam their way to big money. Ultimately, we will notbe the ones to decide the fate of this case. The most important thing, if this woman wants to sue, is that sheshould have seen a doctor and lawyer INSTEAD of writing this letterand posting it on the internet. This letter could be damaging to hercase, and any lawyer would have advised her not to write any of this,and especially not to post it on a public forum.
I have to say, they did wait on you hand and foot for your fall. ButI do have something else to say. You can try to sue all you would like. But... if you're in a no slipstate, good luck! I used to work at McDonald's, and our manager toldus that Ohio has become a "No-slip" state, meaning, quite honestly,businesses can no longer be sued for people slipping on liquid on thefloor and hurting themselves. You should be greatful that you got what you DID from the people atOutback, and a bandaid to boot (Places are generally not ALLOWED togive out bandaids since they are for employees only) and move on. Unless you have a bunch of broken bones, count your blessings thatfalling was the only thing that happened and continue on with yourday.
You want compensation - what kind of compensation? Would a free mealcut it? Would $5.00 to buy a bottle of Tylenol be enough? $150.00 tocover your doctor's appointment? $10,000 for the emotional sufferingof falling in public? It's not a problem to ask for compensation - but you have to tell themwhat kind of compensation you're looking for. And it might be nice,if this ever happens again in the future, to give them some time torespond before threatening them. I don't know about a largecorporation like Outback, but when people threaten me, I get prettydefensive and a lot less likely to work with them. Hope you and your daughter are feeling better!
how does slipping on water relate to a car accident?
I worked in loss prevention for a couple of years, as well as workingwith OSHA for a couple of businesses...and I am certified in privatesecurity and investigation....I also had a couple of auto accidents,(that were not my fault, other driver cited), and have become aninvoluntary chronic pain patient because of these accidents. Just because the old wives tale of "whiplash cannot be proven" isstill running it's rounds with clueless people, doesn't mean yourinjuries are non-provable. I am a member of a non-profit organization called The NationalFoundation for the Treatment of Pain, and my doctor is the ExecutiveDirector of this foundation. He has many years of experience under hisbelt and is considered to be not just reputable, but one who is on thecutting edge of treatment and diagnosing of pain issues of allkinds.... One of the biggest issues a chronic pain patient has is finding adoctor that can adequately treat their pain. It took me over 15 yearsto find my doctor I have now, and I go 5000 miles several times a yearto see him, and he is worth every penny. Unfortunately, there have been alot of insurance scam artists outthere that have given whiplash injuries a good milking, making itextremely difficult for real whiplash patients to get effectivetreatment. But, just because there have been some dishonest people, doesn't meanyou are lying about your injuries. First, the restaurant was negligent to have a puddle of water on thefloor. The fact that the manager paid for your and your daughter'sfood shows that he believed you and felt responsible. If you go tocourt over this, that will be very much in your favor. Secondly, I do not for a minute believe that you would take yourdaughter'hand and drag her down with you, creating a possiblity forher to be injured, for money. After all, if you want to sue someone,I am sure there are better places to do this in. I know from workingin loss prevention that even the thieves who involve their children intheir crimes do not use their children in that way, they use them inother ways, but of course, that is no less dispicable. I mean, theydon't put them in physical harm's way, not for scamming or stealingpurposes. Now, no one jump on me about criminals who use theirchildren in crimes and put them in physical danger, I know about that,but I am talking about insurance scamming and theft. Even criminalshave affection for their children. Third, I have no problem believing that you were in a huge amount ofpain and stayed through the dinner anyway. Not everyone is going tohandle the situation exactly the same. I probably would have done thesame thing if it was something we had planned and was a specialoccassion, because we have three children and do not get to go outthat much. So I probably would been a trooper about it too, for thesake of my husband having a good time. I also completely believe thatyour injuries would present themselves the next day. I have been incar accidents, one when I was 8 months pregnant, and the adrenalinethat runs through your body because of the shock and embarassment isenough to block alot of pain. I had actually went into labor anddidn't even know it because of the adrenaline rush and shock at thetime of the accident. Also, after your body has rested and relaxed inbasically a still position for several hours, the adrenaline slowsdown, and the injuries become more painful. Anyone who has ever hadsurgery knows that the pain is the worst on the third day, when theswelling is at it's peak. So, I totally believe you on the pain,given the way you fell, and the fact that you could not break yourfall means that you hit full force and snapped your head back. Thathad to hurt, I don't care what anyone says. Third, make sure you go to the doctor and make sure they record yourpain level. It doesn't matter that you didn't go the instant that ithappened, because doctors know that shock is kind to the body, and thepatient will be in more pain three days after the injury than when theinjury happened. Fourth, I am new here, and I didn't get to read all of the posts onthis thread, but I think I get the impression that no one believesyou. However, just because of my own experiences, I very much believeyou and hope that things work out for you. And last, stick to your guns. Know that working with insurancecompanies is a slow process, and don't get in a hurry to settle it. It will take awhile for it to finally be resolved, but in the end, youwill be glad that you waited them out. I know I was, because I had acar accident when I was pregnant, and it took several months, which isconsidered a short time on some cases. Don't let these people get to you. They are reacting on the knowledgethat have and their own experiences. This is the same thing you willhear from the resaurant's attorney if you end up in court. So getyourself a good lawyer and keep good records, and keep an eye on yourphysical condition. Good Luck. P.S.Make sure you are satisfied that your doctor's treatment of yourpain. Most doctors are not trained in pain management, and areopiophobic. If you cannot find a doctor that you feel treats youadequately, go to www.paincare.org, and they will help you find adoctor in your area. Peace
The last line says this I would compensation and if the only way I will be getting that is totake legal action....I will. If you truely were injured than getting a free meal will not make herfeel better. How will a compensation heal your injuries. If youreally cannot get off your bed for a weekend and are in great pain afree meal will not get rid of the pain. Sounds to me like you justwant a free meal. You could have simply walked around the water tosave you and your daughter the pain.
She could have been spinning circles in the water, smoking a joint andsnorting powder in the bathroom. The fact that she was injured on their property entitles her to becompensated for medical bills at the very least. Remember the burglar that broke into a house and sued the homeownersinsurance for personal injury. He won!
It's simple. THIS WAS ON PURPOSE. Purposeful slips and falls are the biggest scam going. If this wasn't a scam this woman would have walked around the hazardAFTER POINTING IT OUT TO SOMEONE. She purposely slipped and fell and was hurt more than she thoughtalthough someone who would do this is lying through their teeth. You're standing up for someone who would purposely injure their childto make money. And I won't even begin on the scammers who admit to being suchthemselves with saying insurance will cover it. ONly fellow scammers are standing up for this woman.
this is amusing ... really
I personally think you should sue. You got hurt and you are legallyright to do so. Hope you feel better!
Also... might I point out that everyone is assuming that she does nothave any serious or long term injuries. What if she does? She is stillin pain. What if she ruptured a disc? Go to the doctor. See a lawyer! Again, don't listen to boneheads!
Go to the Doc! Call a lawyer! Disregard negative comments that anybonehead might post!
First of all. Why the hell, (can I say hell on planet feedback?) wouldyou even think about waiting almost 2 hours for dinner at OUTBACK?Now, due to the emotional trama and the damage to your ankle, I wouldget a lawyer and ask for at least 25k.
Do you really need $5 from a kids meal? Wow... Let's all sue for being clumsy. So what if the mess on the floor wasn't noticed immediately. Do youreally expect every waitress to walk around with a mop?
In January 2004, while nine months pregnant, I tripped on a woodenboard lying on the sidewalk and totally busted my face. Honestly, Iwasn't looking where I was going, I was checking behind me to see ifthe bus was coming. I walked on to the bus stop after the fall, andstood there in the freezing cold mopping up the blood waiting for the1/2 hour late Metro bus. My baby happened to come two weeks early fourdays later. I just chalked it up as one of life's littlekicks-in-the-pants, shrugged off the pain (and embarrassment), and thescars were gone in a couple of months. Now I know I could have suedthe City of Cincinnati, the owner of the closest home (hence theproperty), and the Metro bus for pain and suffering, humiliation,premature labor, ruining my hospital photos (if you look closely, youcan see scabs on my lip and nose, and a still swollen upper lip). Ithought it was my fault for not looking where I was going. Now I knowthe city, the metro, and the homeowner recklessly and perhapsintentionally plotted to trip me and should pay for their crimes. Doesanyone know if the statute of limitations is up yet, and the number ofa good (okay, willing) lawyer?
Jasmin? This website is made up of hundreds, if not thousands, of members ofthe public. Your peers, if you will. You couldn't convince even one person out of hundreds on this web sitethat you deserve compensation. How much of a chance do you think you have of convincing ten out oftwelve of your peers on a jury that you deserve compensation?
Since you didn't fall on your place of employment, maybe you will orwill not get paid. The defense attorneys will make you as abloodsucking leech and will pound you and do anything so you won't geta large settlement.
Sorry Sweetcheeks-not every booboo in life is compensable. Besides, itsounds like they did more than enough to make the situation better foryou.
Its very interesting how you injured your face but you could stillchew food. Also interesting how much pain you were supposedly in yet you stayedto eat food.
Did you file a report with Outback? You don't say. I don't understand people who say such and such happened but didn'ttake the time to do it. By the way, you have way too much detail. They don't care what youwere thinking.
You saw the water yet you still fell and this is the resturant's faulthow? I know when I am in excruciating pain (as you describe in yourcomplaint) I have no appetite left. If I was in that kind of pain Iwould have immediately left. Also, isn't it incredibly convenient how your back and neck hurt? Whiplash can't be proven. Wow, you've really done your researchbefore going in and NOT using common sense when approaching aNOTICABLE puddle of water. You failed to mention the damage to your face/chin yet you emphasizethat your fall was broken by that very body part. Gee how strange itis that you don't complain about injuries to your jaw. I don't think you are fooling anyone with this letter.
"I would compensation and if the only way I will be getting that is totake legal action....I will." It's bad form to start with the legal threats. Have you evencontacted the manager of the restauarant to tell him about yourinjuries? No, because you've incurred no medical expenses. I wantedto believe your story, honestly I did, but you're not behaving likesomeone with real injuries did. You sound like you're exaggerating(sp?) the pain, and you didn't go to a doctor (which is what someonewho truly was in such pain would do). Therefore, your credibility is hurting big time. I was literally assuaultd by an insane McDs manager. The only reason*I* sued McDs was I discovered the next day when I spoke with anothermanager at that store that the crazy woman had had altercations withother customers (that's where McDs went wrong: knowingly keeping abad employee on board). (Notice, I called the manager the nextmorning to discuss what had happened.) I wanted her fired, and yeah, we all complain when some OP wants anemployee fired, but this lady was crazy (picked up a food tray andslammed it into my face, giving me a 4-inch cut across my cheek undermy eye). I settled my lawsuit out of court. In order to sue and recover damages, you need to have suffered actualdamages. Your injuries need to be extreme/severe, long-lasting,and/or keep you from living your life and working. Tough standards(as they should be).
This remindes me of what happened when my sister wrecked our van acouple of years ago. The lady that hit us didn't go to the hospital atthe time and the tried to sue several days later. She was told thatshe couldn't get anything because she hadn't gone to the doctor rightaway. I've been in two wrecks (neither when I was driveing) and heardof several more people haveing wrecks and I've learned that if youwant anything you have to prove you deserve it right away by going tothe hospital when it happens.
Are you complaining about the long wait, the sassy hostess, your ORyour daughters injuries???? What do you WANT? You fell, learn how to walk instead of complainingabout nothing.
So your knees, elbow, back and neck were all throbbing. But you stayedbecause you didn't want to sacrifice a free meal - I mean, ruin "datenight" with your husband (and daughter). The horrible pain didn't keepyou from noticing and pointing out to the waitress (was this the same"sassy" one that told you there would be an hour and 40 minute wait?)that your daughter's meal wasn't free. You spent the entirre weekend in a "living hell" and have not leftyour bed because you are "in extreme pain", and yet you didn't goright to the emergency room. What kind of compensation are you looking for? Free steak? A milliondollars? Scammer. People like you disgust me.
Am I the only one who instead of walking over some walter on the floorand risking falling especially with a small child with me, callssomeone to make sure they know about it then walks around the spill? But of course I'm not out to try and get free meals.
I'm just curious. What are you expecting in the way of compensation,since you have not seen a doctor and have no medical expenses norproof of your injuries?
Goodness Grief, if nothing else, learn how to fall properly so youdon't injure yourself. The way you describe it makes it sound likesome sort of slap-stick routine done for laughs. What other compensation would you like, by the way? They gave you freemeals, apologized, presumably cleaned up the mess and generally bentover backwards to make it up to you. What more do you want? Blood?
Jasmin, If falling down in a restaurant and getting (perhaps) a slight injuryis the worst experience ever, what do you think it's like for peoplein this world who are homeless, dying of cancer or some other disease,suffering the loss of a loved one, and so on?
If you really did get injured that you could not walk I don't think acompensation would make you heal your injuries. You should never havetaken the offer of free food in the first place. However they areresponsible for the fall.
You had the presence of mind to accept the free dinners but did yourequest that the manager complete an accident report so that you couldtake legal action? I also find it interesting that this accidenthappened on 4/27 and you have waited over 4 days to seek medical help. I'm curious - - are your seeing the doctor or lawyer first tomorrow?
By the smiley face next to the subject.. i take it that your happywith the way you were treated after that happened.. but then youthreaten to take legal action? Accidents happen. A lady that got herlittle toe cut on a chair that fell on it because she moved it issuing our store now. It's sad that people will use pathetic reasons toget $$ they DON'T deserve.
People like you cause sky high insurance rates. I hope they laugh youright out of court.
While I sympathize with your pain which, I presume, is from yourinjuries, If I were you, I would be embarassed to post a letter likethis after I got comped 2 meals and were waited on hand and foot bythe staff. It was an accident - an unfortunate, unforeseeable incident and not ameal ticket. The threatening tone of your letter tells me all I needto know about you and that is that you are trying to capitalize onyour misfortune. You admitted you saw the water, you were loaded down with a glass oficed tea and managing your daughter at the same time and yet you stillfeel that you are entitled to more. Regardless of what the ambulancechaser lawyers on TV tell you - you aren't entitled to ANYTHING. But that's OK, because when you try to take what doesn't belong to you(i.e. "compensation"), it will come back to haunt you. Karma is awonderful thing!
Question: Since she took the free meal, is it even possible for her to sue now? Would it have been possible for her to sue if she hadn't taken themeal, and gone to the hospital or something instead? This seems a little out there just for the fact nobody (I would hope)would continue to dine in "immense pain" in order to try and get thefree meal... That is what allegedly happened right? Another letter that needs more paragraphs :(
I'm not a lawyer but I have worked for many....every attorney I haveworked for would have been aghast at your decision to post publiclyabout your "incident". And what does "I would (sic) compensation" mean anyway? You WANTcompensation???? Yeah, I'd like compensation too but I realize I haveno entitlement to $$ that is not mine...Anyway, you got free food! Ifyou are NOT physically injured, you will get nothing else....if youare physically injured, a doctor wil evaluate your injuries andrecommend treatment and a repuatable lawyer will decide whether thereis some money to be made on your "case" and that will determine if heaccepts your case or not... BTW: I didn't see you fall, I don't know you or anything about youralleged injuries but I can tell from my own experiences that when theattorneys I worked for discovered someone was "faking it" theypromptly and immediately dropped that client and refused any futurebusiness with them...
Good luck taking legal action - you won't find a lawyer to take yourcase unless you incurred serious, permanent injury, which you didnot. I get such a kick out of people who think they can sue for anythingand everything and win.
Like I told the lady who slipped in the Target parking lot-If yourintention is to sue, then it is not in your best interest to post aletter detailing the incident on a public forum. If you want to takeOutback to court, you should have gone to the ER and contacted alawyer immediately.
Things I don't get -- Who would wait almost 2 hours to eat at the Outback? If you were in so much pain, why did you stick around to eat the freemeal? IF your whole weekend was ruined because of pain and you couldn't getout of bed, why did you not go to the Emergency Room? That is what itis for. If you fell so hard and "I caught myself with my chin on the hardwoodfloor" Why do you not have facial/mouth injuries? It would seem to methat if the rest of you is injured that badly, you would have somebroken or chipped teeth. The Outback's lawyer should love your admission, in this letter, thatyou saw the water on the floor prior to your fall.

New Mortgage Lending Regulations
By: Laura Simon
Updated: January 11, 2013
Now, federal officials want banks and financial institutions to look at a borrower's long-term income and will require documents such as tax returns. Local experts say this offers protection for everyone involved in the process.
"It's just going have to require additional research on the lender's part, which only protects the borrower too," says Cheryl Roderique, Arvest Bank, Mortgage Loan Manager.
Federal regulators hope taking a closer look at borrower's ability to pay back a loan will help prevent another housing crash.

text: Aren't you sick of it? I mean just sick of it. Had it up to here, or there, or anywhere you like. We've been here so often that we should have the market cornered on the highest levels of frustration imaginable. Maybe we do. Fans are plenty mad after yet another trip to the woodshed at the hands of the mighty New England Patriots. Some of them are even mad at the players as opposed to blaming the coaches for the defensive line being unable to tackle running backs, one of whom you had never heard of before. The Patriots don't just show up and beat your head in. They keep it fresh by introducing some guy they picked up off the street to lead the head kicking. A couple of years back it was Benjarvus Green-Ellis. Sunday it was Brandon Bolden, an undrafted rookie free agent who came into today with a whopping 15 yards on 7 carries in his NFL career. All Bolden did to beat the Bills was rush for 137 yards on 16 carries for a nifty 8.6 yards per carry average. Bolden was helped by backfield mate Stevan Ridley, who also went over 100 yards on the day. At this point I'm left wondering if Bill Belichick might be tempted to sign some contest winner to see if he, or she, could score in a game against the Bills. I mean, what the hell, right? Have a game show and bring the winner to play the Bills. No offense to Kyle Eckel, but why not? Oh, and Tom Brady threw for like a million yards and Welker did what Welker does and Gronkowski did some, well, Gronking. All of it adds up to 580 yards of offense and 52 points, including 35 straight that turned a 21-7 Buffalo lead into a 42-21 deficit. I mean, seriously? It really shouldn't feel like UB going to play Georgia when the Bills play the Patriots, but it does. That's the worst part about this loss. We were hoping that maybe the Bills had closed the talent gap. We kept trying to believe that beating the Patriots last season wasn't fluky, that the Bills could stand in and throw with them. What a joke that was. I was talking with a long time observer in the press box before Sunday's game started and at one point while assessing the home side's chances I said it sure would be nice to get to the point where beating the Patriots didn't feel like cause for a civic holiday. The Patriots will continue to live in all of our heads until a few weeks from now when maybe we'll talk ourselves into the idea that the Bills can go to Foxboro because, you know, any given Sunday and dogs having days and blah blah blah blah. Spare me. We better get back to hoping the Bills can beat the teams we think they're better than. Because Mario Williams and the rest of the Bills aren't ready to get in the ring with New England. For the Patriots, playing the Bills seems about as easy as shooting deer in your backyard.

Extreme makeover (library edition)
It's hard to believe but the "new" library building is now almost eight and a half years old! We have had fun, and time has flown.
An unfortunate fact of being a very well-used building is that everything begins to look...well, used. We have decided that now is a great time to renew and refresh the building, furniture, and collections. If you have been in the library recently you will see and hear us moving shelves, painting walls, setting up new seating areas, etc. The goal is to update the look of the building and make it more open, browsable, comfortable, and user-friendly.
I am only highlighting a couple of changes on the first and second floors but many more renovations are in-the-works or coming soon.
First, the Travel collection has travelled (sorry) from the first to the second floor. There is more room upstairs to shelve and display the collection. This move also allows us to move the end of the alphabet Fiction to where Travel used to be...a much more logical place for Fiction.
Second, the fiction Audiobooks have moved to the wall behind the low Audiobook shelves. The entire fiction collection can now be seen at once and this move will allow us to shift the Music CDs (a forthcoming move).
Stay tuned for new seating areas and furniture and many exciting changes on the third floor!

Wow! What a huge collection!! I think the right placement of the books keep the storage in a queue and there is a less chance of displace the books after reading by the readers. Hope you're next planning will make it more balanced and perfect. Have a good day ALevie!
Wow, I love this and love books what a collection!
Wow what a collection of books. I adore books and reading.

WASHINGTON – Congress returned in a lame duck session with no signs of quick compromise to prevent a tax hike for most Americans early next year.
Talks between the White House and Republican leaders in the House continued behind closed doors. Current tax rates expire Dec. 31.
Emboldened by his re-election, President Obama took his case for raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans to the public on Monday. He warned that the threat of higher taxes on middle-class Americans could dampen the Christmas shopping season.
"The President has called on Congress to take action and stop holding the middle class and our economy hostage over a disagreement on tax cuts for households with incomes over $250,000 per year," the White House said in a statement.
Quiz: How much do you know about the fiscal cliff?
The White House got a boost from billionaire investor Warren Buffett, who said the wealthy – himself included – should pay more. Noting the nation's growing gap in income disparity, Buffett dismissed the Republican argument that tax hikes would hamper investments.
"In recent years, my gang has been leaving the middle class in the dust," Buffett said. "So let's forget about the rich and ultrarich going on strike and stuffing their ample funds under their mattresses if — gasp — capital gains rates and ordinary income rates are increased."
Key Republicans, including House Speaker John A. Boehner, have signaled they are willing to put new tax revenues on the table, creating the outlines of a possible deal. Several Republican lawmakers used the Sunday talk shows to distance themselves from their party's anti-tax pledge, publicly breaking with conservative stalwart Grover Norquist, although they insisted any agreement must include spending cuts.
A so-called grand bargain of tax hikes and spending cuts has eluded Washington in the past, but both political parties are wary of rattling the financial markets and sparking a crisis in consumer spending. Wall Street has signaled a bold deficit-reduction plan is needed to prevent a credit downgrade.
PHOTOS: 2016 presidential possibilities
No talks between the president and congressional leaders have been scheduled. The parties had agreed to meet this week to put the framework of a two-part deal on the table.
If Republicans continue to fight higher tax rates for the wealthy, Boehner will face pressure to propose an alternative way to raise new revenue – either by closing individual loopholes or capping deductions in a way that produces new money.
"Congressional and White House staff continue to work to find common ground that is consistent with the 'balanced approach' the White House says it wants – with significant spending cuts, and without job-killing small business tax hikes," said a senior House leadership aide.

Rapper Beanie Sigel pleads, is sentenced to prison term
MEDIA COURTHOUSE — South Philly rapper Beanie Sigel pleaded guilty Wednesday to illegally possessing Percocet, an ungraded misdemeanor, for which he was sentenced by Judge Michael F.X. Coll to six to 23 months at the county prison in Concord.
Sigel, whose real name is Dwight Grant, has been incarcerated since his Aug. 29, 2012, arrest following a traffic stop by Pennsylvania State Police on Interstate 95 in Tinicum.
According to an affidavit of probable cause, Troopers Francis Pawlowski and James Sparenga pulled over a tan Ford Fusion at 3:14 a.m. after seeing the vehicle swerving over the dividing lines on southbound I-95.
Co-defendant Gerald Andrews, 41, also of South Philadelphia, was driving the car and was asked to exit the vehicle. A pat-down search revealed several prescription pill bottles in his pockets and a small amount of marijuana.
Sigel, 39, had been asleep in the passenger seat during the stop. Pawlowski asked him to get out of the vehicle so he could explain why Andrews was being arrested. Sigel also was patted down, revealing a bottle of codeine syrup, various pills hidden in a cigarette pack and about $4,500 in cash. During his arraignment in Folcroft District Court last year, Sigel claimed he had won the money at a casino.
A fully loaded .38-caliber Smith & Wesson was later found inside the car. Both Sigel and Andrews are convicted felons and are prohibited from possessing a firearm. Sigel had previously served a federal sentence for firearms offenses.
Both men were arraigned on charges of drug possession, possession with the intent to deliver, persons not to possess firearms, firearms not to be carried without a license and conspiracy.
Andrews also pleaded Wednesday to one count of a former convict not to possess a firearm. Coll sentenced him to 30 to 60 months at a state correctional institute, which he noted was well below the mitigated range. Andrews is ordered to report by 6 p.m. April 5 to begin that sentence.
Andrews, represented by defense attorney Gene Taggart, did not make a comment during the hearing. Sigel's attorney, Carson Morris, standing in for Fortunato N. Perri, described his client as a talented entertainer who has made some mistakes.
"Mr. Grant has been a successful entertainer and musician in the Philadelphia community for decades," Morris said. "Obviously, he's had an incredible amount of success and opportunity in his life. He's also made some mistakes, which have ended up putting him in custody. He's ready to go ahead and put that behind him and move on with his life." Continued...
Sigel also is facing a two-year federal sentence for tax evasion. Morris said his client had been scheduled to turn himself in for that sentence shortly after his arrest in Tinicum.
Morris said there had been an agreement between Perri and Assistant District Attorney Lindsay McDonald that the drug possession charge would run concurrent to the federal sentence.
Coll said he could not dictate what the federal court would do, but wished Sigel luck on that front. The judge also asked if the two cases would significantly impact Sigel's career.
Morris said Sigel, who was arrested just hours after the release of his newest solo album, "This Time," has recently experienced serious financial problems, mainly due to the tax issue.
"He has a lot of catching up to do, but he also has a lot of talent and a lot of opportunity, hopefully," Morris said. "So the prospect is that he can get out and move on and start doing something productive with his life."

June 7, 2012 9:31 AM
(For those who did not get to attend the grand opening of the
Viper Cafe, here is an updated version of the blog that appeared
before the ribbon-cutting, including pictures of the cafe taken by
Maurice Liang.)
A new dining experience debuted this weekend in the shadow of
Chrysler Group LLC's World Headquarters tower in Auburn
Hills, Mich. In fact, it's located in the Walter P. Chrysler
I can't say I've ever had museum food, but I'm
sure the menu will be fine.
The big draw here, of course, is not the bill of fare. It is a
chance to have a snack and get cozy with the Chrysler Group's
ultimate American-built supercar.
Welcome to the Viper Café.
Featuring diner-like counters, checkered tile floors, bright
lighting and, of course, a prime spot to exhibit one of the
Vipers in the collection, the café is in the basement of the
museum, conveniently adjacent to the existing food service
(It should be noted that the Viper Cafe is not a working
restaurant; it's the food service area for the museum when events
take place. So while there's a large counter for them to serve food
on, and Viper tables and chairs to eat at during parties, you can't
walk in and just order a hamburger and a soda.)
The year-long project to get the café up and running is the
brain-child of Viper Club of America founding president and Viper
memorabilia collector Maurice Liang. He says he went to fellow
Viper owners to see if they could pony up the dough needed to make
the café idea happen.
"Club members were very supportive of the Viper Cafe
project," said Liang. "Originally, I had set a target
of raising $12,000 to re-decorate the area, but thanks to their
generosity, we raised over $70,000 for this project, which allowed
us to do much more -- new counters, new paint, new floor, new
The color scheme is red/black/silver, Viper's official
colors. Club members donated neon signs, Viper tables and bar
stools, and a TV to show Viper videos. Liang donated over $8,000 in
Viper memorabilia, which will be shown as themed, rotating
"Viper owners are very passionate and loyal about the
Viper," Liang says. "That fanaticism rubs off on other
SRT products as well as Chrysler Group products in general. Many of
us own multiple Vipers and have other Chrysler Group products in
the garage for our "daily drivers." We're very proud of the
car, its heritage, and people like Ralph Gilles and his teams who
design and build these cars. We also want to share that enthusiasm
with others, which is why I think they've been so supportive of the
Viper Cafe project.
In turn, Gilles had high praise for Liang's efforts in
securing funding and completing the café project in just a
year's time.
"Congratulations to Maurice for channeling his passion and
dedication and to the Chrysler Museum management for making the
Viper Café become a reality," Gilles said.
"Their combined efforts along with the support of the special
group of enthusiasts inside of Viper Nation and beyond prove once
again that the legendary Viper will live on as a true flagship
supercar and help to showcase the best we have to offer."
The Viper Café's grand opening was Saturday, June 9,
just in time for the Chrysler Employee Motorsport Association
car show, with Gilles, SRT President and CEO, cutting the
ceremonial ribbon.

Recent FIS NewsBelow you will find a listing of recent FIS News Find your newsVegard Ulvang on his longest journey ever Exactly 100 years after Roald Amundsen pointed his skis towards the South Pole on 19th October 1911, Vegard Ulvang, Jan-Gunnar Winther, Stein P. Aasheim and Harald Dag Jølle will do the same. The Norwegian Centenary Expedition to the South Pole will retrace Amundsen's route, taking the same amount of time as Amundsen's expedition, and reach the southernmost point on earth on 14th December 2011, arriving 100 years to the day after Amundsen. FIS Newsflash had a chance to speak with Vegard Ulvang about the expedition during the FIS Autumn Meetings in Zürich last week. Q: Vegard, you will set out on your longest ski trip ever. What's the plan? Vegard Ulvang: On 19th October 1911, Roald Amundsen started his attack on the South Pole and reached it on 14th December as the first man to do so. The four of us will retrace Amundsen's route; it is a 1300 km long ski trip. We will start the same date and hope to reach the South Pole 55 days later. Q: Who is taking part in the expedition? V.U.: Our project seeks to tell the story of Amundsen through the four of us who have some of the abilities that Amundsen had to reach the South Pole. I'm the skier, as skiing and knowledge of expeditions was one of the key factors of his success. We have one scientist which was one of the excuses of Amundsen's expedition. But most of all he was there seeking an adventure, hence one of us is an adventurer and climber. But maybe the main reason was that Norway was a young nation back then and needed publicity. Q: What will be the biggest challenges for you in the upcoming weeks? V.U.: It will be a kind of competition against Amundsen himself. Our goal is to be there and use the same number of days as he did. He had 55 dogs but dogs are not allowed on Antarctica any more, so we will have to ski. The text two months will see daily challenges against weather, form and much more. I'm really looking forward to starting the expedition, we have had a long time to prepare. Q: How did you prepare for the expedition? V.U.: First of all it is about physical fitness. I have been training almost every day of my life. Next thing is to be mentally prepared and I have already made trips like this, so I know how it is to be in such conditions. But I have not been skiing for two months in a row, so that is new to me. It is also important to gain some extra weight. And then of course we have tested all our equipment: the tents, skis, sledges and we tested everything really carefully. Q: You will not be alone on your expedition. The Prime minister of Norway will join you. Is that right? V.U.: Yes, it is. It shows that it is as big a happening in Norway as it was 100 years ago for the young nation of Norway. The Prime Minister will celebrate both this and 100 years of polar history. He is a good skier. If everything goes well he will meet us on 13th December and we will ski the last day together. Q: What are your personal expectations of the trip? V.U.: I'm a skier and this long ski trip has attracted me for a long time. I'm fascinated by cold temperatures, by handling extreme conditions. I was born in the Arctic region during a snowstorm so it's been a kind of a dream for me for a long time. Q: Can we follow you on your expedition? V.U.: Yes you can. We have a website at http://sorpolen2011.npolar.no where we will have videos, pictures and blogs. We will report every day from the expedition. You can follow the expedition day by day by checking out our diary, which we will update as we go. You will also be able to see what Amundsen wrote in his own diary exactly 100 years earlier.

In recent years the few genuinely independent trade unions seeking to improve the lives of Mexican workers have found themselves increasingly under fire.
The Mexican Miners' Union (Los Mineros), the Mexican Electrical Workers' Union (SME), the union representing workers in Mexico's state-owned petroleum company PEMEX, the National Union of General Tyre Workers of Mexico (SNTGTM) and the Mexican Telephone Workers' Union (STRM) have all faced violent attacks, intimidation and repression of trade union rights.
One of the biggest obstacles to freedom of association for workers in Mexico is the prevalence of "protection contracts," collective agreements negotiated between employers and "official" unions or corrupt lawyers, which serve to "protect" the employer from the emergence of truly representative and democratic trade unions and genuine negotiations to improve wages and working conditions. Protection contracts are negotiated without the knowledge and/or consent of workers and are often in place in a factory even prior to the hiring of workers. Mexican labour rights experts estimate that the vast majority of collective bargaining agreements in the country are in fact protection contracts.
From February 14-18 trade unions in Canada and around the world joined in the International Days of Action in support of the independent trade union movement in Mexico and the right of Mexican workers to be represented by the union of their free choice.
During the week rallies were held in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver at the Mexican embassy and consulates in those cities to show solidarity with Mexican workers. Meetings were also held between Canadian union leaders and Mexican embassy and consular officials to discuss these pressing issues.
Trade unions from around the world are calling on the Mexican government to:

This FAQ applies to Nokia Lumia phones with Windows Phone 8, and a computer running on Windows 7, Vista or Windows 8. If you have Windows XP use the search field on this page to find this related FAQ: What should I do if my Nokia Lumia phone is not recognized by a computer running Windows XP?
Start by disconnecting your phone and other USB devices connected to your PC. Exit the PC software, such as Nokia Suite, Zune and Windows Media Player, which can establish a USB connection at the background. Use Ctrl+Alt+Del to see and manage processes that are running on your PC.
Check that you have latest updates installed on your PC
Here are two options to follow (ensure that Administrative rights are available):
Option 1
Option 2
Check your USB connection
Make sure that you are using the USB cable which was included with your phone. You may also try another port on the computer, but do not use a USB hub or the ports located on the front of your computer. Most versions of Windows (excluding Windows RT) allow you to connect to your Lumia with Windows Phone 8 by using Windows Explorer, which you can use to validate that you have an active connection.
Check and update your device driver
Confirm that your PC is able to communicate with Windows Update service through firewall(s).
You can also use the Windows Phone app, which is a free app for PC and Apple Mac. With the app, you can sync media content between your computer and your phone. This includes the music, pictures, videos, movies, ringtones, and podcasts on your computer that you want to copy to your phone. Windows 8 installs the app automatically. With Windows 7, you can download it from www.windowsphone.com. If you have a Mac, to download and install the Windows Phone app, go to the Mac App Store.
Contact your operator immediately:
Note: Nokia customer support doesn't have the possibility to block the SIM card or the device, or track a stolen device.
To minimize the risks caused by the theft or loss of the device, there are some security features which you can enable in your device:
Note that the phone autolocking and remote locking cannot be enabled after the device has been lost, so it is important that you enable these security features already when taking the device in use.
If you cannot connect the headset to the compatible phone, proceed as follows:
If you cannot find or connect to another device using Bluetooth, check the following:
If the problem persists after the above actions, contact your local Nokia Care Point.
Do the following:
Your Nokia device requests PIN (Personal Identification Number) and PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) codes to protect your SIM card and device against unauthorized use. Note that all PIN and PUK codes are provided by your network operator. Nokia is not able to provide you PIN or PUK codes.
Please note the following:
If you have forgotten or simply do not know the codes, you must contact your Network Operator for assistance. However, if you have already contacted but the code does not work, you should consider getting a new SIM card from your Network Operator.
In case you use a device with integrated GPS receiver, please have a look into the manual of your device on the location of the GPS receiver. When using the GPS receiver, hold it upright in your hand at an angle of approximately 45 degrees, with a clear view of the sky. Make sure that your hand does not cover the GPS receiver. The time it takes to establish a GPS connection may vary between a few seconds and several minutes. Establishing a GPS connection in the car may take longer.
We recommend that you make use of Assisted GPS (A-GPS) to speed up the connection time for your GPS. A-GPS uses your mobile internet connection to connect to a Nokia server that tells your device which GPS satellites it will be able to connect to, substantially reducing the time taken to get a GPS fix.
If no satellite signal is found, consider the following:
Note: The GPS operations take their power from the battery. Using an internal GPS receiver or a Bluetooth connection to an external GPS receiver may drain the battery faster.
The calling phone number may not match with a contact name and the name is not shown in the following situations when an incoming call or SMS arrives:
If the problem persists, make sure your Nokia device is running the latest software. For downloads and assistance, go to your local Nokia website.
In case of audio issues, check the following:

I bought the Emma Goldman poster on the way home and stuck it up over my desk, tacked over a vintage black-light poster. I also bought a NEVER TRUST t-shirt that had a photoshop of Grover and Elmo kicking the grownups Gordon and Susan off Sesame Street.
It made me laugh. I later found out that there had already been about six photoshop contests for the slogan online in places like Fark and Worth1000 and B3ta and there were hundreds of ready-made pics floating around to go on whatever merch someone churned out.Mom raised an eyebrow at the shirt, and Dad shook his head and lectured me about not looking for trouble.
I felt a little vindicated by his reaction.Ange found me online again and we IM-flirted until late at night again. The white van with the antennas came back and I switched off my Xbox until it had passed.
We'd all gotten used to doing that.Ange was really excited by this party. It looked like it was going to be monster.
There were so many bands signed up they were talking about setting up a B-stage for the secondary acts.> How'd they get a permit to blast sound all night in that park? There's houses all around there> Per-mit? What is "per-mit"? Tell me more of your hu-man per-mit.> Woah, it's illegal?> Um, hello? You're worried about breaking the law?> Fair point> LOLI felt a little premonition of nervousness though.
I mean, I was taking this perfectly awesome girl out on a date that weekend — well, she was taking me, technically — to an illegal rave being held in the middle of a busy neighborhood.It was bound to be interesting at least.#Interesting.People started to drift into Dolores Park through the long Saturday afternoon, showing up among the ultimate frisbee players and the dog-walkers.
Some of them played frisbee or walked dogs. It wasn't really clear how the concert was going to work, but there were a lot of cops and undercovers hanging around.
You could tell the undercovers because, like Zit and Booger, they had Castro haircuts and Nebraska physiques: tubby guys with short hair and untidy mustaches. They drifted around, looking awkward and uncomfortable in their giant shorts and loose-fitting shirts that no-doubt hung down to cover the chandelier of gear hung around their midriffs.Dolores Park is pretty and sunny, with palm trees, tennis courts, and lots of hills and regular trees to run around on, or hang out on.
Homeless people sleep there at night, but that's true everywhere in San Francisco.I met Ange down the street, at the anarchist bookstore. That had been my suggestion.
In hindsight, it was a totally transparent move to seem cool and edgy to this girl, but at the time I would have sworn that I picked it because it was a convenient place to meet up.
She was reading a book called Up Against the Wall Motherfucker when I got there."Nice," I said. "You kiss your mother with that mouth?""Your mama don't complain," she said.
"Actually, it's a history of a group of people like the Yippies, but from New York. They all used that word as their last names, like 'Ben M-F.' The idea was to have a group out there, making news, but with a totally unprintable name.
Just to screw around with the news-media. Pretty funny, really." She put the book back on the shelf and now I wondered if I should hug her.
People in California hug to say hello and goodbye all the time. Except when they don't. And sometimes they kiss on the cheek.
It's all very confusing.She settled it for me by grabbing me in a hug and tugging my head down to her, kissing me hard on the cheek, then blowing a fart on my neck.
I laughed and pushed her away."You want a burrito?" I asked."Is that a question or a statement of the obvious?""Neither. It's an order."I bought some funny stickers that said THIS PHONE IS TAPPED which were the right size to put on the receivers on the pay phones that still lined the streets of the Mission, it being the kind of neighborhood where you got people who couldn't necessarily afford a cellphone.We walked out into the night air.
I told Ange about the scene at the park when I left."I bet they have a hundred of those trucks parked around the block," she said. "The better to bust you with.""Um." I looked around.
"I sort of hoped that you would say something like, 'Aw, there's no chance they'll do anything about it.'""I don't think that's really the idea. The idea is to put a lot of civilians in a position where the cops have to decide, are we going to treat these ordinary people like terrorists? It's a little like the jamming, but with music instead of gadgets.
This introduces a pleasingly raotianl point of view.
You jam, right?"Sometimes I forget that all my friends don't know that Marcus and M1k3y are the same person. "Yeah, a little," I said."This is like jamming with a bunch of awesome bands.""I see."Mission burritos are an institution.
They are cheap, giant and delicious. Imagine a tube the size of a bazooka shell, filled with spicy grilled meat, guacamole, salsa, tomatoes, refried beans, rice, onions and cilantro.
It has the same relationship to Taco Bell that a Lamborghini has to a Hot Wheels car.There are about two hundred Mission burrito joints. They're all heroically ugly, with uncomfortable seats, minimal decor — faded Mexican tourist office posters and electrified framed Jesus and Mary holograms — and loud mariachi music.
The thing that distinguishes them, mostly, is what kind of exotic meat they fill their wares with. The really authentic places have brains and tongue, which I never order, but it's nice to know it's there.The place we went to had both brains and tongue, which we didn't order.
I got carne asada and she got shredded chicken and we each got a big cup of horchata.As soon as we sat down, she unrolled her burrito and took a little bottle out of her purse.
It was a little stainless-steel aerosol canister that looked for all the world like a pepper-spray self-defense unit. She aimed it at her burrito's exposed guts and misted them with a fine red oily spray.
I caught a whiff of it and my throat closed and my eyes watered."What the hell are you doing to that poor, defenseless burrito?"She gave me a wicked smile. "I'm a spicy food addict," she said.
"This is capsaicin oil in a mister.""Capsaicin —""Yeah, the stuff in pepper spray. This is like pepper spray but slightly more dilute.
And way more delicious. Think of it as Spicy Cajun Visine if it helps."My eyes burned just thinking of it."You're kidding," I said.
You just watch me."She rolled the burrito up as carefully as a stoner rolling up a joint, tucking the ends in, then re-wrapping it in tinfoil. She peeled off one end and brought it up to her mouth, poised with it just before her lips.Right up to the time she bit into it, I couldn't believe that she was going to do it.
I mean, that was basically an anti-personnel weapon she'd just slathered on her dinner.She bit into it. Chewed.
A good many vlaualbes you've given me.
Swallowed. Gave every impression of having a delicious dinner."Want a bite?" she said, innocently."Yeah," I said.
I like spicy food. I always order the curries with four chilies next to them on the menu at the Pakistani places.I peeled back more foil and took a big bite.Big mistake.You know that feeling you get when you take a big bite of horseradish or wasabi or whatever, and it feels like your sinuses are closing at the same time as your windpipe, filling your head with trapped, nuclear-hot air that tries to batter its way out through your watering eyes and nostrils? That feeling like steam is about to pour out of your ears like a cartoon character?This was a lot worse.This was like putting your hand on a hot stove, only it's not your hand, it's the entire inside of your head, and your esophagus all the way down to your stomach.
m0ECUK njhynaocqfxd
My entire body sprang out in a sweat and I choked and choked.Wordlessly, she passed me my horchata and I managed to get the straw into my mouth and suck hard on it, gulping down half of it in one go."So there's a scale, the Scoville scale, that we chili-fanciers use to talk about how spicy a pepper is.
