It's like bumper cars. But with cats.

I didn't buy a bike, DR Jane. Heavens. I don't have that kind of spare cash. No, it's one of the pieces of equipment owned by our building.

I wondered. Try changing the tension while peddling. If that doesn't work, and there isn't anyone to ask how it works, take a photo. Maybe I will recognize the design.

Oh, I see you were peddling. Maybe it is broken

If anyone's interested, Stratford Festival started streaming their 2015 production of Love's Labour's Lost, featuring Mike Shara, a couple of hours ago. It'll only be available for another 34 hours, so watch it soonly!

Hello

Chas mention of AAA reminded me of the story of the night I became the ‘cool mom” amongst the Vixter’s Florida friends

We had arrived in Florida that afternoon only to discover that the apartment was in no condition to be inhabited

The kitchen was beyond filthy with crud burned into the stove and the refrigerator hosting several science experiments, and the carpet....let’s not even discuss the carpet

The powers that be had decreed however that the new tenants deserved a new brand new toilet

vixmom · « **Reply #159 on:** May 20, 2021, 06:22:05 PM »

We would have welcomed that decision if only it had been installed instead of sitting in the middle of the bedroom

It was Friday afternoon, July 1st and the workmen had gone home early fir the holiday weekend

vixmom · « **Reply #161 on:** May 20, 2021, 06:23:54 PM »

The secretary said we’d just have to come back on Tuesday

vixmom · « **Reply #162 on:** May 20, 2021, 06:24:22 PM »

I explained that wasn’t an option and we’d be setting up shop in her office until the manager appeared

vixmom · « **Reply #163 on:** May 20, 2021, 06:24:38 PM »

Which she finally did about an hour later

vixmom · « **Reply #164 on:** May 20, 2021, 06:25:41 PM »

She and I walked over to the apartment while I mentioned how disappointed I was after three days of driving a truck down there with my only child

vixmom · « **Reply #165 on:** May 20, 2021, 06:26:16 PM »

And how in 30 years of being in real estate law I had never seen such an unacceptable situation

vixmom · « **Reply #166 on:** May 20, 2021, 06:27:07 PM »

She made some phone calls and the workmen and two cleaning ladies showed up and we were asked to give them three hours

vixmom · « **Reply #167 on:** May 20, 2021, 06:27:19 PM »

(Just to set the stage)

vixmom · « **Reply #168 on:** May 20, 2021, 06:29:22 PM »

As we waited for the crew to show up we were joined by 4 of Vixter and (then) Vixboyfriend’s friends all set to unload the truck

vixmom · « **Reply #169 on:** May 20, 2021, 06:32:31 PM »

They looked at the 16 foot truck and congratulated Vixboyfriend on driving that from New York

vixmom · « **Reply #170 on:** May 20, 2021, 06:33:21 PM »

Oh Vixters mom drive it down, I drove Vixters car

vixmom · « **Reply #171 on:** May 20, 2021, 06:33:33 PM »

Looks of respect

vixmom · « **Reply #172 on:** May 20, 2021, 06:34:22 PM »

He explained the situation with the apartment and my role in correcting the situation

You deserve it.

Murmurs of appreciation

vixmom · « **Reply #177 on:** May 20, 2021, 06:35:15 PM »

I offered to take everyone to dinner while we waited

Jane · « **Reply #178 on:** May 20, 2021, 06:35:31 PM »

Thank goodness Craig's place in Pittsburg wasn't that bad as I had to leave the next day.

vixmom · « **Reply #179 on:** May 20, 2021, 06:35:34 PM »

Very pleased murmurs of appreciation
