and we're finally going to do Lurray Caverns on the way home
Fun. We did them when I was a kid, so of course I took my kids too. Cool stuff. Literally cool!
Time for some thrilling heroics.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Lurray Caverns! One of the best East Coast cave tours!

Yay, Jesss and Laura! I'm looking forward to the caverns, having passed them lots but never stopped.
We are about 30 mins. from the cabin now.

In a crap turn of events, the hot tub is out of order, they didn't bother telling us that, and it won't be fixed until we are long gone.
I feel bait and switched. And annoyed that they haven't immediately offered a partial refund.
Honestly, we would have picked a place with a working hot tub, had we known.
I'll deal with it after the weekend, but, wow, really annoyed.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Ugh. Got woken up somewhere around 1-1:30 by a car alarm going off(not either of our cars). It actually went off for a few minutes, stopped, then resumed a few times.
And Mr. S has been wild since I got home, including dumping a large bin of Legos over my head. sigh...

Boo Hiss! No hot tub is a disappointment for sure.
I hope things quiet down and you have a peaceful weekend, Sheryl.

OK, well, that vent up there was actually very helpful! Thanks for putting up with it.
Totally stopped giving a shit and we're having a lovely time, and it's beautiful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I went to WAR after my last VRBO booking went sideways, and at the end of the day told them I'd rather have my negative review posted then a couple of hundred dollars off.... and now I see my review isn't there! Oh well.
Hope you have a great weekend!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'm glad that venting made you feel better. Have a beautiful time, Jen.
I feel bait and switched. And annoyed that they haven't immediately offered a partial refund.

That said, I'd have demanded some level of compensation and would leave a review that was not flattering. Because tubs are important to me.
I'm annoyed that the Nascar trucks won't let me listen to the scanners. I think they are just down for streaming but I only watch this series because I like one of the spotters. I am going to leave them a review that is not flattering. Because Eddie D'Hondt telling drivers, "quartah, qauatah, door, clearah" is very soothing to me.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
vent
just need to vent somewhere, this is safest place
My best friend from college, beat leukemia in 20s, living with colon cancer now metastasized various places for over a decade, taking a turn for the worst. Tumors blocking intestines, in hospital supplementing nutrition to get her strong enough for surgery to put in bypasses. No real plan for treatment because she is off all charts for her cancer. There are no options that are known to work and no examples of patients still living with what she has. Her son in 16.
My son. Incommunicado. For over a week. Phone goes straight to voice mail and voice mail is full. Texts, no response. Including the one that said I was in hospital after hitting my head. Bank account showing largish deposits from cash app and then immediate withdrawls from atms. Today should have been a paycheck. No paycheck. Rent due on Monday and he has less than $100 in account. I've texted the one high school friend of his I have a phone # for and I reached out to another via IG. Bank activity shows me he is not dead, but WTEVERLOVINGGODDAMNF
vent over
I was working until 9 (comp time) so I am going to bed. no need for sympathetic words, or pats. I just need to dump that somewhere.
