Today was a major fiasco! Headed into the city to meet a friend at the Met. Too late, I realized I'd forgotten my phone. Well, I figured, I'll meet my friend where we always meet 🤞 I get there, & the damn Met is closed on Wednesday ( how did we not know that? Friend is a member) So, home again. Waste of time, money & friendship. Arghh!!
@gemswinc Oh no, I'm sorry. That sounds very disappointing.
@misslovelymess Yes, mostly very annoying 🙄
@gemswinc I hope you were at least on the train and not driving.
@misslovelymess Oh yes definitely, train 🚂
@gemswinc I do enjoy taking the train when I'm close and going into Manhattan. My old job used to be in Westchester County, and the I found the Metro North to be very good for relaxing.
@misslovelymess I was born in Westchester County.Small world. Shorter train ride of course, than from out here
@gemswinc I've never done the LIRR (if I remember, you give weather updates from the island). I have driven from Long Island to Manhattan, do not recommend. Ugh. I used to spend a ton of time in Dix Hills for work.
@misslovelymess You know LI then, I'll be darned.
I haven't driven in, in a long time. If there is no traffic
🤣🤣🤣 It is a straight shot from the LIE through Queens Midtown Tunnel. I'd only try, these days, early Sunday morning. I drove cab in NYC when I was 20. Night shift six months.
@gemswinc Except for that one time, I would drive in around 9pm, and drive out around 2-3pm. That usually worked pretty well for me.
Except for whenever a POTUS was in town, which seemed like very often.
@misslovelymess Ha, ha, haven't in years! Verazano Bridge 😱 Don't like driving much anymore anyway
@gemswinc I did it wayyyy back before GPS was a thing. One of my first trips for work. Trying to read Mapquest, while on I-95 in Jersey for the first time, I was terrified.
@misslovelymess OMG! I can imagine, but young! There's all the difference
@gemswinc Also, do not recommend driving to or in Staten Island. 0/5 do not recommend.
