And perhaps you weren't as noticeably needy when seated...?
But when I tottered out through the jetbridge, the
need was obvious.
So they should have come through at that point, one would have
thought...
One would have, and if I'd ordered a
wheelchair ahead of time they no doubt
would have. But playing by the rules is
important to these corporate people,
and observation and initiative are not.
I do recall one additional case of
helpful employees to the two I cited. It was late
last year, and an LAWA cart driver saw me struggling
along, stopped, and offered me a ride. He was able to
take me from Terminal 8 (now renumbered to be part of
Terminal 7) to the near edge of Terminal 6 but
regretfully dropped me off - to go beyond, you need
to find a cart whose native territory is there.
And of course, none was in sight...
There are relatively frequent cart runs there
between the United piers; not so with the more
compact Terminal 6.
Depends on if there's extra time. The American
cart driver had to dodge so many pedestrians so
as almost to miss my flight.
That's not so good...
More the bad design of the airport and the
obliviousness (more than recalcitrance) of the
pedestrians than the fault of the cart driver.
If I'd just had the wheelchair to the rail link and
another wheelchair to get out of the rail link there
wouldn't have been any difficulty, because the rail
connection isn't as crowded.
Something to maybe plan for for another trip...?
No plans to have to deal; if it happens it
happens, but I'm not pushing for another
opportunity.
Apparently so. If she'd shown indifference, none
of this would have happened; whether I'd be alive
now or not is hard to say.
You might have survived after all... but I'm just as glad that she was
there to encourage you to get treatment... :)
That's another big old who knows.
Sounds quite reasonable to me... :) The statistical dis/advantage might indeed have a pharma rep talkup factor to it.... And I can certainly see getting something much less expensive that does indeed work fine...
And then there's the trusting my body thing
(though that's not so prominent in my thinking
any more).
I certainly take into consideration what my body might be trying to tell me... and my doctors do expect me to be paying attention... not so sure
I trust my body... other than to be weird and to try to compensate... ;)
Trying to compensate is normal. Come to
think of it, being weird may be also.
Which reminds me of the Giant Food group in
Pennsylvania, which had always been a thorn in
the side of Giant Food of Royal Ahold, which was
itching to get into that market. The Aholds fixed
that problem by swooping down and buying it.
I think they might own our local TOPS markets... that chain came out of Buffalo originally... but the signage is still TOPS... ;)
Tops is someone else, though it may have been
a participant in grocery store ownership
ping-pong as so many have.
True... California can be a special case.... ;)
Almost always is.
That's what I tend to see... :)
I don't mind, having lived in Massachusetts,
another outlier state.
TATERS ALA MEG
Categories: starch
Yield: 4 servings
4 md potatoes
2 Tb olive or canola oil
EVERGLADES SEASONING you choose the amount!
Wash potatoes well. DON'T peel! Cut into about 1" pieces.
Put about 2 Tb of oil into a bowl. Put the 'tatoes in the
bowl and toss until coated with the oil. Sprinkle liberally
(this is Kennedy country!) with the EVERGLADES SEASONING and
toss again. Then spread them out on a cookie sheet and bake
at 450 for about 15-20 min, stirring occasionally so they
brown evenly and don't stick to the pan. They're yummy!
This'll serve 4 people (or in my house, 3!).
