Access-a-Ride this morning was 10 minutes early, which is strange dsince this car service is not too good. On the other hand, the good car service was really lousy this afternoon. I was finished with my appointment at 11:00, so I took a seat in the lobby and called AAR because I couldn't remember my pickup time. 11:15, I thought.

Nope, 11:33.

The young lady told me the car would be on time.

At 11:25, I called to check since I'd had no texts about arrival time. The young man I spoke to told me the car assigned to me had been moved and they werte looking for a car for me.

I called back and told the young lady I spoke to that it was ridiculous that three minutes before my scheduled pickup time they had no damned car assigned for me.

At 11:45 I got a text saying the car would arrive in 15 minutes, and the car actually showed up at 11:54, twenty=one minutes after my scheduled time.

But I'm home in one piece and ready for my soaps.

DR Vixmom I think you should send a letter to Ikea telling your story, and post it on their Facebook page.

I thought the same -- that the IKEA story needs to be in the public eye in order to prod them into making some obviously much needed improvements.

At first guess, I think what I would do is write it up in one good FB post and put it on my own page, tagging IKEA. And then I'd share it or copy it (or whatever way is best) onto their page for customers to see. (Or maybe the tagging puts it there? I have no idea!) But that way, if they choose to delete your comment there, it still stands for all to see on yours.

Just my opinion, but I do think it's important that an experience that ridiculous and unforgivable needs to be shared, and loudly.

So, what happened at Funny Girl that forced its star out of the show two months early?

Like the fact she was miscast, missed performances, didn't sing the score well, and her standby was better? I heard a rumor that her father is a big investor in the show. Are the rumors about her replacement true? Will thewy change the title to Unfunny Bitch?

elmore, I appreciate you finally saying anything about the campaign. I always try to be clear that I don't expect anyone who can't afford to partake to worry about that - what's nice is just hearing a congrats every now and then. It means a lot. This is a community of people who care about each other - we care about you, as you well know.

Lea Michele is taking over.

But if Feldstein’s dad is a major backer, why does she feel she’s facing creative differences? Too much drama over too little talent.

I'm very very happy it's going so well for you. I felt that now, after you surpassed your goal, it was time to congratulate you.  And I am really happy for everyone who found treasures, especially DR vixmom, who's been wanting all those Lost in Bostons for soem time.

I haven't reported on my ENT visit. Dr Namdar thinks the polypss can be controlled by a neti pot-nasal flusgh rather than surgery, so that's fine with me. But if it doesn't work, well, it's gonna be a cataract-polyps round of surfgery.
