Have a nice meal with family Robo........I adore cherry cheesecake.......

First time we ever went to Cheesecake Factory that was what I ordered..........I was so disappointed to see plain cheesecake (which I still love) with a cherry sauce over the top! It was still lovely but I felt a bit cheated and kinda mentioned it every time we went back for years.........


Off out with friend in 5 minutes........don't really feel in the mood tonight, but once I get there it'll be nice. DH is planning to watch sci-fi........any sci-fi will do as I'm not home to complain.........

always something to get done and back and forth from here to there........


but reading along when i can



robo, think we should have a contest to name your snake....

won't start the official hhn thread until the total tickets and passes are announced.
only packages and flex tickets are for sale right now.
and some early buy in for tours for the package peeps


when all the info regarding hhn is announced, that will be the time the yearly thread will go up as a sticky.


peeps will know then when they are planning to go and much easier to do a sticky without having to make multiple changes to poster's dates and plans

I had one instance in vegas were the driver didn't show for 20 minutes even though the app showed him being close by. I forget there time policy but the driver was out of the window so I cancelled. Got a different driver but was charged a no show few. Same thing, emailed Uber several times and heard nothing. It was only $5 but it's the principle of what happened. I disputed it with my CC company and won. On the subject of BBB, they are sham and a business won't be accredited. My isn't because I won't pay them. They are just another business, not a government agency. Just my .02

I hear ya...they really suck. Luckily my bank declined the transaction when they tried to charge it so I'm not out any money but now it's time for the bank to get involved.

Sorry, Robo, I forgot, what time am I supposed to be over for dinner? Sounds awesome...it's kind of rare someone can rattle off a full meal and I like all of it...especially that dessert.

Just wanted to let people know about an incident with Uber the other day. My account was hacked and someone in Moscow was riding around on my dime. Here's the review I posted on Yelp. They provide a good service when everything is OK but you (rider) have a problem there is no Customer Service # to call...only an email which the apparently ignore. Have any of you have an issues like this with Uber and if so how/when was it solved?

That sucks about Uber...I hope you don't have to fly with United anytime soon. Whatever happened to 'the customer is always right'? I love how the top guys makes a statement praising how his employees handled things, then sends out another that undercuts them...then another that says the first one probably did not convey how the company rally felt about incident. How about changing your policy so a paying customer is not ousted from their seat...period...much less be dragged from it like they have committed a heinous crime?

I haven't flown since 2000 when I went to Hawaii...I flew United but it was a different world back then. If I can't get somewhere by car, I'm not going.

I flew United last week and all went fine

They only had a list of 3 stand bys

Since all seats were already taken those 3 booking at the last minute were still at the counter when the plane took off

I don't care which airline I use
All I look for is which can get me to my destination the quickest

Well, I thought I got a refund from the tour I cancelled. Low and behold, it hit my bank a month, that is right, a month later. Never going to use them again, but it was a good price, just not where I decided to go. Holding on to my money for over a month I thought was too long. Others have returned it in days.

So, got both rental cars down about 20 dollars. I keep hoping for lower. But it tells ya how much more the summer is, my 2 week in the fall is not much more than my 6 day ( that is being billed as a week). Same car level.

Nice night, water ice and custard run for dessert. All were in the mood.

 

[macraven]

That's awful about the tour hanging onto your money

Sounds like a big portion of the trips planning are done

Well mother in law finally got released today and they said she did have a small fracture but didn't need to have surgery and should heal on its own but she has to use a walker for awhile and the only bad thing that happened to her today was she took out her hearing aide and broke it and now have to see if her warranty pays for a new one

 

[macraven]

Thanks for updating

She won't fall using a walker so that is a good thing for her to use

I hope she heals quickly and completely

Since her hearing broke, just talk louder to her

 

[agavegirl1]

Thanks for the update KY..

I made Parmesan crusted cod with steamed broccoli and garlic potato salad for dinner tonight. Dessert, however, was Girl Scout Cookies. I would love some cheesecake right about now.

I have enough negative experiences on airplanes for one lifetime but will, unfortunately, have more before I depart this earth. I wish it weren't so.

 

[Lynne G]

KY, good to hear mum is okay and hope she heals fast. Hope the hearing aid warranty works and new one in place soon.

Have a nice meal with family Robo........I adore cherry cheesecake.......

Everyone enjoyed the meal. They liked their cherry cheesecake. Had lovely conversation about upcoming trip to Universal. Grandchildren are so excited. Surprised them with our one night stay at SF before we move over to PB. They are looking forward to checking out SF, Kong, Escape from New York and Volcano Bay.

robo, think we should have a contest to name your snake....

LOL.....Mac that's an idea....do you have any thoughts on a name?

Sorry, Robo, I forgot, what time am I supposed to be over for dinner? Sounds awesome...it's kind of rare someone can rattle off a full meal and I like all of it...especially that dessert.

Your a southern youngin so I could see you liking that meal. There is always plenty for more to sit around our table for a meal.

So, got both rental cars down about 20 dollars. I keep hoping for lower. But it tells ya how much more the summer is, my 2 week in the fall is not much more than my 6 day

Lynne glad to hear you made some progress on the car rental hunt. So nice to be able to take something else off the travel list plan.

 

[macraven]

Well Robo since I named my first cat "kitty" guess my choice of names for your pet snake would be "snakey"


All the good food you mentioned sounded scrumptious

I had a long day and my dinner was at 9 tonight

Ky glad to hear they found out what was wrong with your mom-in-law. Will say a prayer for her that she mend quickly.

Did not know that they did such things to people on airplanes. Never new it was a common practice to overbook planes then force passengers off. Heard that poor man was in hospital in Chicago and has two high powered attorneys. No one who has paid for a seat on a plane should be pummeled and dragged off a plane. Its frightening.

Granddaughter was relieved to hear we were not flying. Her dislike of flying kinda came to a head last year on the way home. She looked at me this evening and said, "Nana I will fly if you want to". I looked at her and said "not if it upsets you. We will drive" her eyes lit up and she wiped her brow and said "thank a God". Will leave a day early and meander down to Orlando.
Just means I get one more day with the sweet grandbabies. I'll take that any day over flying for sure .

Just read a very interesting thing in fb
A pilots wife penned it and very much an eye opener

Always two ways to view the situation


Robo when do you return south?

 

[Robo56]

Snakey it is then Mac.
