Sometimes you get lucky the first time you jump back into the pool. I did!

You didn't really jumped...
She guided you all along, you only had the impression
Of being in control.

Has anyone here used uber before? If so, how does it work? We downloaded the app and we want to use it for a show we're going to tonight. Do you schedule a pickup or just call for one when you want it?

Few times. GPS tells drivers where u are and gives u a few to choose from. They calculate the distance and how much it will cost. Phone updates u how long the driver takes and their car. Drivers have rankings and tells u if some are talkative or w/e.

Well, lost my job yesterday. Took a bit for it to set in.

Not really sure what to do.

Hang in there.

That sucks!

I’m in a line of work where layoffs happen all the time and they always suck big time. Especially if you’re not expecting it.

The first thing you should do is file for unemployment. It will take some of the bite out of it if you’re unemployed for more than a week or two. As some of the others have asked, what do you do for work?

I'm hoping this is short lived for you! Staying positive will help you greatly.

Last time I took an Uber I was at a function and wanted to walk to a store. Was one like 2-3 blocks away but homie I was with didnt wanna walk thru some homeless villages. Back and forth I think costed like $20.

 

[Elvis P]

Hang in there.

Agreed. My wife left her job in January, found one, but wants a better one, and has applied for over 300 jobs. Don't get discouraged.

I like Pasta's Dunkin commercial, but his 37 PIMS career high season is not exactly Tiger Williams. Perhaps they could have had a different angle.

I've used it with my family while on vacation.

I will not let my 18 year old daughter to use it alone. Only if she's with 2 or more friends.

My cousin is a cop in a mid-sized city and he once told me that he's never pulled over an Uber/Lyft driver that didn't have some kind of "prior" that was significant enough to make him comfortable letting his daughter use it.

No offense to any drivers out there....I just feel safer if mine uses a legitimate cab company with a dispatcher and Hack #.

I've posted this before but it's true

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Yay just landed in Manchester after a good week in Cali... Felt like a short 2 flights.

But I swear it's always raining everytime I come home on weekends.

@HockeyMomx2 how did it go? Inquiring minds want to know

It was great. We went to the Cinco De Mayo festival on the waterfront, ate, walked aeound, then got a few.drinks, then went to the game, which omg, what a game, Rip City, baby! He's coming back out for Date 2 Monday night (for me it's my Friday). Off to work I go!!!

 

[HockeyMomx2]

Never worry about "being a lady". Just be yourself at all times, you will attract like minded people. Being kind is the only requirement.

How was the date? @HockeyMomx2

It was really good!

 

[HockeyMomx2]

oh man, that sucks. I'm so sorry.

 

[LouJersey]

I must be getting old. Fourth in line at the car wash and the three in front of me are all 80 plus year olds. I remember laughing how old people already had all their errands run for the day by 9am, now I’m one of them

 

[HockeyMomx2]

Seconded. I’m so happy for her. It’s such a mental game trying to jump back into the dating scene, and i was only ten years or so in between.

It so is. I went to straighten my hair instead of its natural waves a dozen times, even tho the it looked great! LOL thank goodness for girlfriends who know me and kept me sane lol

My father calls über, “you-buh” and i find it hilarious.

4 Overtimes - wow

 

[LSCII]

For the record, we survived! Uber was really easy, and overall the night was a success! Thanks for all the advice and tips to those that helped!

Hey now!

I did too until my son stopped laughing and corrected me.

It’s not a bad thing. It’s just comical. One of those fatherly quirks that make you fellas the great guys you are.

The trashy accent gets the assist too

Wow if he’s going out on a Monday he must really be interested. Good luck

Has anyone ever had a bone bruise that still hurts months later?

I fell back at the end of January on the ice and the left side of my leg from just below my hip to the end of my thigh was bruised badly.

It took 2 months for the lump to go away but in the last week a small bruise formed out of nowhere and the entire area feels like it’s bruised again but I haven’t done a thing.

I really don’t want to go to the doctor for this as it seems really silly
