There's a big difference between Hotel vs apt and limo vs drive your own car.

I'd venture to say that most people (in the yeshiva/kollel world at least) go to hotels and drive themselves.

I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Call me old fashioned but I drove in my own car (gasp) from the wedding hall to the hotel. It also helps the next morning when you have your car with you...
We took a taxi. ( In Israel)

There are some that are specifically against limos. While some chosson shmoozin recommend one as it could help break the ice.

Many of my friends drove after their wedding.

Nothing. There is a grand opening for the new Urgent Care place next door. Pretty darn convenient. Open until 12 with no appt and same copay as regular Dr. They have X-Ray, ultrasound, stiches etc. I was in and out in 10 minutes.

Adults and kids.

"Urgent care" offices is the new big thing. They are popping up everywhere.

2 just opened in Lkwd, and one Howell with another one opening soon.

Does it have something to do with Obama care?

I don't know, but it is a no brainer. - It is a result of the total lack of reasonable pediatrician customer service for most of Lakewood patients. (besides for those lucky enough to be in few who provide this.)

It's not just here in Lakewood. They are popping up all over the state.
The 2 practices in Howell are both part of larger chains.

I understand why they are convenient.  I'm just trying to figure out what all of a sudden changed that they are popping up everywhere.

The rest of the state forget about seeing a dr during weekends or after 5 pm.
They have been around..

I'm looking for a cheap used mountain bike. Doesn't need to be in perfect condition, as long as it can be fixed it may be fine. I'm looking for a walmart type one that'll cost me so little that I wont mind crashing it (like the past 3).
I'm not who you think I am.

Was just in Starbucks. Milk they used from behind the counter was a full gallon bottle with a purple cap and no label. Does not look like a POF bottle.....

Before that the guy in front of me asked of it was CY. They had no idea what he was talking abt   (He then went on to order a frap)
