Dear everyone,
Looks like we will be having one more person join us for Saturday! My friend from across the street who joins me on my daily commute is excited about lovecraft in particular. She is a huge cthulu fan and also into video gaming and stuff.
This is gonna be awesome!
Do we have a concrete plan as of yet as to where people are meeting/parking/getting picked up and delivered?
Freehold DM |
Good point. It is almost Thursday we need a plan.
I know Patrick will be arriving early on Saturday and will be touring on his own for a bit. I will be with my mother until around 10 or so and will probably be in manhattan at 11. I suggest we meet up at BonChon around noon or so, to give everyone time to get there despite traffic, tourism, Alton Brown, or worse calamities. My phone number will be available to all who ask for it via PM.
Does this work?

Bear in mind, I have no idea how New York parking or the New York subway work. Like, at all.

Sigh.
So, while SOME of us get to plan and anticipate a Grand Adventure for this weekend,...
<What? ME? Jealous?!?> ;P
Some of us came home, after yet another late night at work, to discover that our Refrigerator (which has been getting slowly warmer) Had completely defrosted the freezer. And the Fridge was no longer cold.
So there was much swearing as I fetched bags of ice for our ice chests, and salvaged what little I could. (Did I mention that I HATE throwing things away?!?)
So, I'll be taking tomorrow morning off of work, and buying a new refrigerator. The cost? About $1,000.
My expected Federal Tax refund? About $1,000. o_O
It has just been One. Of. Those. Days. :/
On the PLUS side?
Looking forward to reading tales of adventures in far-off and foreign lands. (New York)
You know, AFTER the requisite recuperation time has elapsed. ;P

Ouchies Ragadolf. Hope tomorrow is better. And that you find a discounted fridge.
LOL, Thank you Friendly Ship. That makes two of us! ;)
Actually, this has been quite the interesting 6 months or so. If it was happening to someone ELSE, it'd be funny.
It it was a sit-com, it'd be hysterical.
In the last 6 months, I have;
Replaced my microwave oven,
Replaced my Dishwasher,
Replaced my Washer and Dryer,
REPAIRED my oven, (Not forking out the cash for a new one of THOSE!)
REPAIRED my Home AC, just in time to prevent Compressor damage and having to replace that,
And NOW Catastrophic Fridge Failure.
(Actually I like that term. I'm Trademarking it.) ;)
The good news? I'm running out of things to repair! It HAS to slow down soon! ;P
Ah yes, There comes a time where you have to laugh. Or else start crying. I prefer to laugh.

I will gladly guide you in. How are you arriving to New York? I'll meet you at your starting point.

that's rather harmonious, but it still stings a bit. I'm glad you had the 1000 as opposed to not.

Me too! :)

Indeed! The kitchen is practically covered in (Most likely Faux) Stainless Steel! :)
(My wife insists that the OVEN needs to match. I insist that a working oven trumps a shiny one.) ;P
I hope your turn of luck improves Rags
Thanks, At the risk of repeating myself, Me too! ;)
Sorry for the griping, I hope YOU enjoy your holiday weekend! :)
I just keep reminding myself.

I thought he was older than that.
Just a guess, It wasn't his age, it was the drugs when he was younger?
:/Never was really a fan of Prince, but I have to admit he made some darn catchy songs. (And I confess to loving his songs in the Batman movie!)

Last time, I took 81 south to 80 east, but once I get to Jersey City, I might as well be a rat in a maze.
