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 @misslovelymess I've been sort of surprised at how many folks I've run into on here, who I met offline.
But then, it's like with used book stores: You will see your book again, because it's circulating among other book-lovers and you all gravitate towards the same spaces.
Nice, smart people who didn't like regular social media concentrate here. There's less of us (for now) than elsewhere, but of course we're going to run into like minds!
@AskTheDevil Like minds and rational conversations are some of the many blessings of CoSo @misslovelymess
@gemswinc @AskTheDevil I don't know if I know anyone here from my real life, but I have met people on here, in real life.
@misslovelymess @AskTheDevil I've met no one here, but I did meet folks from Twitter, several. Two became good friends, one has since passed.
@gemswinc @misslovelymess I mean people I met in offline situations even before social media existed have later showed up here.
@gemswinc Very sorry to hear that.
