I would also assume car service. Which is something I only associate with New York

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My first thought was "I'll drive my car to the airport,"

That was my mother's first thought, so she was like WTF. I say if I meant she was going to drive, I would have said "We'll take your car to the airport."

But really I meant a Lyft/cab/someone else who will drive to our house and pick us up.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

msbelle, good of you to help that lady out. May your garage sale get lots of $$ and get rid of lots of unwanted stuff. Sorry Mac didn't want Thai food with you.

Calli, pretty lights!

I'm adopting the Spanish custom of rising early to accomplish stuff, a long nap in the afternoons which are unbearable without AC, and puttering some more after the heat of the day. Actually, I seem to be getting enough sleep and have more energy to do things than I did trying to soldier on through the afternoons.

This is my natural daily rhythm. I can stay up late and get up early, but I hate having to be awake and functional during the heat of the day.

My sister and I have culled out three big bags of clothes and another couple bags of other stuff that's going to Goodwill tomorrow, and packed up a bunch of things that can be returned for $$. A pair of boots going back to Duluth Trading means I "made" $145 this weekend!

I also pick blue, Burrell.

New York people and non-New York people, what do you think I'm saying when I say "take a car to the airport"?

New Tork adjacent here. I hear that as "hire a driver to get me to the airport." More as in, hiring a car service, than grabbing a taxi.

And now I realize I think grabbing a taxi is hailing one, not calling one! Random stuff in my head.

Not being able to call for a taxi in NYC is still bananapants to me.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

In New York, a car service. In Rochester, confusing, but probably that you would pay to park at the airport, but were saying it weird.

ETA In Rochester, you can only call a cab, you can't hail one. My BFF's husband, when deep in his alcoholism (he has been sober for 10 years now) somehow hailed a cab in Rochester to take him home from the hospital in a hospital gown, and she refused to pay them It was horrible at the time, but funny now- I don't even know how he did it!

Our wings are not tired.

Ha! I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time, but it made me laugh. Yeah, if I were her I'd probably refuse too.

Wow, that's like the definition of comedy = tragedy + time.
