I drive for Uber/Lyft part time. Was in another town hanging with some friends and afterwards decided to drive for Uber and set a destination towards home. It was still kinda earlier around 11 pm. Wouldn't you know it I git this very drunk dude and his sober girlfriend/wife. The girl was fine and she apologized in advanced in case anything happened to me car and she would pay the fine and all if he threw up. And he threw up on himself and in my car a bunch of times. So that kinda sucked. Never had that happen so wasn't sure how to report that or better yet clean it up. Let Uber know, took some pics. And they charged them $150. Although Uber said in the future they want a cleaning receipt
So how do you clean vomit in a car (fabric upholstery)? Should i have gone to a car wash/detail place? It was late at night, nothing was open. I wasn't going to let it sit in my car overnight. So i tried cleaning it the best i could with what I had.Looks better, but not great. Luckily it's an older car ('09 Honda civic) so i wasn't too upset.

At a Gimmee! coffee shop in Brooklyn I looked across the street at the graffiti and thought of Pearl Jam.

Put your phone down when you drive. Guy hit my husband 50 MPH, didn't even hit the brakes. Car totaled. Husband okay.
Whoa, that's awful! It's good to read your husband is ok. I hope the other driver is ok.

Was watching the full moon rise earlier (ironic how the fires gave it an extra orange glow; also makes for gorgeous sunrises), which made me think of Full Moon Fever, and Petty. No matter how their death came about, there are just a handful of musicians over whom I shed sincere tears of loss.
Why does it have to take so freaking long to buy/finance a car?
I hope it comes through soon.
I thank you. My husband and I just ganged up on the State Farm agent. (The other guys insurance.) He thought that they could just move my husband's car closer (it's about 35 minutes away right now) and repair it. Um, it's totaled. These are the same people who never phoned him. Never asked how he was. Never offered a rental until today. Oh, they are worried about the cost of storing the car though. Well, perhaps they should have grabbed my husband's info off the crash report from the highway patrol. Frustrating.

I’m sorry it’s such a clusterfuck for you, Amy. If only people simply gave a shit and did their jobs.

We’ve hit at least 2C a few nights, but not sure we’ve had a frost yet. I was surprised to see the sweetpeas still coming up and blooming.
So sorry to hear about the runaround you guys are experiencing. I’m sure it’s the last thing that you guys need after this years car troubles. I hope that your husband didn’t suffer any trauma from the collision.
Thanks. It’s nothing to do with me though. I’ve just been waiting for things to die back so I can clean the pots out. Just took a moment to stop and smell the flowers this morning.

Oh, our new-to-us car was just rear ended by someone who thought yield meant not to pause for oncoming traffic. It's driveable, but needs repaired. Haven't even had it for a week.
(but wonderful luck in escaping injury yet again!)
Yes, again. She was blaming us. Told us we shouldn't stop, but that we were to go on. Two giant yield signs. There was oncoming traffic. It was an extreme angle to look back. We had to stop. Our lane didn't continue. She said she looked back and hit us. The Ohio State Highway gave her a ticket that stated that she was at fault. I phoned the claim in to her insurance. She hadn't phoned yet.

Seriously? Really??? The phrase is supposed to be “third time lucky”, not “third time crapped on”!! Surely this is the end of your run of bad auto-luck. Come on, FSM - throw your noodly appendages around Amy, M and K and stop this shit right now.
my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf

If we need to go on the third time crapped on idea, the totaled RAV in February, totaled Yaris in October and rear ended but repairable F2 (because we have 2 Foresters) hopefully fills our quota. We are all upright. FSM did throw noodly appendages around us to keep us safe, but I did tell M that when F2 gets fixed, I am considering putting a changeable sign for the back of his vehicle like they used to have at the gas company, "It's been X days since our last accident."
FYI- SD just had me sage his car. Did mine, too. Can't hurt.

I am so sorry. Check your PMs for possible tips in making your car vomit free. That is so very gross.
