My fear of being stuffed into cattle cars and taken to Dachau and Auschwitz has come a bit closer.
A documentary aired this week regarding public heath care in Scotland and refusal of some institutions to do necessary surgery on the obese patients.
Here is the article
I’ve long held the belief that if ever I’m rushed to the hospital, having no insurance, I will be left to die on a gurney in the hallway somewhere. A) Because I have no insurance and B) Because that will be one less fat person in this world.

This article kind of supports that fear.

This is a national known chain of restaurants that started in the South. They plates are bountiful and large. We went to the one that is located in Summerlin here in Las Vegas on a Sunday afternoon.

When we got there we were seated promptly. Their booth seating is for a size 12 at max but they do have seats with no handles in the middle of the room so it wasn’t a problem. The service was a bit slow however and we were only 1 of 5 tables in the whole place. There were at least 3 servers and good thing because by the time we left the place was packed.

The most stunning aspect of the place, besides their Vegas related memorabilia, was the ample salad bar. For 7.99 you could make it your main course or for 2.99 you could have unlimited trips tacked on to your meal. Well worth it. Everything was very fresh and great selection of fresh fruit and vegetables along with several types of add ons like ham, cheese and yogurt (for the fruit).

The food was typical chain fare of burgers, steaks and chicken with very little variety or imagination. I thought compared to Fridays or Chili’s it was right in line. Our total bill was 59.00 plus the tip, about what I’d expect to pay for brunch plus drinks.

I’d say the biggest drawback is getting to Ruby Tuesdays. If you happen to miss the turn, there isn’t another one for about a mile, including a harrowing experience of the “wrong lane syndrome”

All in all the Summerlin Ruby Tuesdays get a 2 Double Chin Rating.

Frustrated by the lack of finding quality gently worn clothing in the the upscale suburb of Nashville, a team of women lead by owner Sherry Lawler and her partners, Margaret Johnson and Jackie Biggers opened their own consignment store. After 6 months, they have two rooms full of gently used clothing from labels such as Jones of NY, Jessica Howard and Talbots.

Small start-ups like these not only empower our community but brings fashionable clothing at great prices to some who might not otherwise be able to afford to shop full price. It also lets those who have lost or gained weight, expand their wardrobe or clean out their closet and make a few extra dollars on the side.

If you are in the Nashville area or planning to visit, stop by Up & Down Closet.

The shop, which is open 10 a.m.–6 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays and 10 a.m.–5 p.m. Saturdays, is at 237 E. Main St. between Kmart and Rhonda’s All About You Beauty Salon in Hendersonville.
