Was it something I said?

singdaw · « **Reply #63 on:** August 18, 2022, 10:01:53 AM »

Maybe it was something you didn't say.

singdaw · « **Reply #64 on:** August 18, 2022, 10:02:02 AM »

Or the way you didn't say it.

singdaw · « **Reply #65 on:** August 18, 2022, 10:02:22 AM »

Maybe this time I'll be lucky.

John G. · « **Reply #66 on:** August 18, 2022, 10:07:53 AM »

Maybe.

John G. · « **Reply #67 on:** August 18, 2022, 10:08:05 AM »

Maybe far away.

John G. · « **Reply #68 on:** August 18, 2022, 10:08:18 AM »

Or maybe real near by.

More property-selling vibes for DR elmore!

Thanks all!

I have received no messages from anyone that we have lost anyone else.

Yes DR CHAS SMITH sometimes theeder in the wild can be dangerous. I have to take two back roads since two of the main roads to my place of entertainment have been closed since May.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #73 on:** August 18, 2022, 10:43:12 AM »

But only three more trips and then my drives will be intermittent to take care of publicity chores for THE MIRACLE WORKER.

Waiting for more than 5 minutes just to place an order at Popeyes. Feels like 10.

So, here's my day. My appointment was at 9:50; Access=a=Ride showed up around 9:00, which was great. went down to the lobby, navigated thew steps with no problem and left the building. There was no caer waiting in front of the building, but there was cab sitting in front of the building on the corner. So I put the walker in the street and walked toward the back of thew taxi. When I was maybe three feet from the back of the taxi, I shouted, "Are you my Access-a-Ride?" There was no response.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #76 on:** August 18, 2022, 11:05:08 AM »

I walked closer to the taxi. I realized there was no face in the driver's rear view mirrir, so I thought maybe the taxi was empty and it wasn't my ride. I shouted again, "Hel;lo? Access-a-Ride? Are you my car?"
There was no response, and here I was standing in the middle of West 82nd Street and pondering my next step.
A couple of pedestrians came up to me and asked if I needed help. I asked them to ask the taxi driver - if he were in the car - if he was my Accessa-Ride.

Suddenly a face appeared to confirm that he was my ride. I, hot, sweaty, legs aching, said, :I've been srtanding here yelling at you if you were my ride, God dammit."
Well, that put his panties in a bumch, and he said, "Get a new driver. I'm not taking you." Then he started tyhe taxi and drove off. The time was 9:05.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #78 on:** August 18, 2022, 11:09:50 AM »

I called AAR and to;d the ypung lady who picked up the whole story. She said sje would call him to come back and pick me up. I told her, "I don't him back. He's crazy. I want him fired, and I need a new ride."
She said I would hear aboutr a new car in 5-10 minutes.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #79 on:** August 18, 2022, 11:13:35 AM »

In less than three minutes I got as call: my car would be there in 11 minutes. I thought it's around 9:15; I'll be there on time.
At 9:26, I called. The car should be there in 4 minutes.And it was not the same car and licensew number tyhey mentioned in the last call.
Shortly after 9:30 I called again; the car would be there in 11 minutes, and it was a different car and license number.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #80 on:** August 18, 2022, 11:16:32 AM »

As soon as a taxi drove by, I flagged it down and arrived at my HMO around 9:50; I had my blood drawn, peed into a cup, and ewas finished by 10:15. My ride home was atr 10:42. I went to the lobby, took a seat, and relaxed.
I forgot: just after I got into the taxi, AAR called me to tell me my ride was waiting in front of my buyilding.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #81 on:** August 18, 2022, 11:19:54 AM »

At 10:34, I called AAR to ask why I hadn't heard from them about my 10:42 ridfe home. I was told they were looking for a car.
Around 10:45 I ccalled again; the car would be there in 2 minutes.
Around 10:50, I called again; the car was stuck in traffic; he'd be there in 15 minutes. I told them they were getting close to the 30 minute required waiting time.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #82 on:** August 18, 2022, 11:23:28 AM »

At 10:15 I called again and spoke to a nice lady named Clara who took my complaint about the two rides. At 10:20, my car showed up. The driver was wonderful and took extra pains to seew I was safely in the car and safely home.

I don't know if I hate my life or Access-a-Ride more.

It's not a contest, but I'll just throw our li'l stories into the pot for everyone's reading pleasure:

Thank the lord we have five weeks of rehearsal left before tech week, because - I know you won't believe this - but we JUST NOW acquired our second to last Missing Man, and are still short one. Aggravatingly, to me, the one acquired just before this is less than skilled in the ensemble- and harmony-singing department, but he's a body on the stage we needed and that practically takes priority at this point.

And then last night we felt the hot breath of warning signs of how careful everyone must be. One of the girls got reminded of how she needs to take the curves on our winding country roads a little slower when it's raining (she only skidded a little bit). And then our Carrie, of all people, had a tire blow out on another of those roads. Her car went off the road, took out a sign, and came to rest at a steep angle -- nothing that couldn't be negotiated in safely getting out, etc., and thank the lord (again) that she was completely unharmed. She comes from an hour away, and her dad came to pick her up and deal with the car.

This theeder stuff is like constantly walking the fine line between survival and failure. It's not for the faint of heart, but that seems truer now than ever before.

Yikes!!
