It was a Lucy sketch, with a phone being lost, multiple parties swapping the phone, family worried, and then SC being able to buy back her own phone.

"WHILE she had a 7 page paper that was due at noon today"
Please, we all know where that ranks on Shira's priority scale

Posted: 6/30/08 at 1:31pmDD, I know - I brain farted and then updated.

Yeah, just so I didn't hurt everyone's eyes, I took the story out. But here's the summary again, if anyone really cares!
My phone got stolen.
No one knew exactly where I was.
I finally got it back by paying the sketchy guy $70.
I got to see Sunday in the Park with George and Eddie Izzard. Without all the crappy event in the middle, it would have been a great day.
Oh and Shira is fantastic - she basically kept my mother sane while all of this was happening. WHILE she had a 7 page paper that was due at noon today.
But yes, when I talked to my mom last night, she said that at one point, Shira said, paraphrased by my mother, "Yes, well I've been trying to figure out how to procrastinate on this paper a little bit more, so this is fine!"

And Moony, that was a temporary card - if she didn't use it on her birthday she is, as they say in South Hampton: "S*** out of luck, my dear."

HA! She never has to work hard to figure that out - it comes naturally to her

Posted: 6/30/08 at 1:36pmSee, now I feel bad for being sarcastic. I'm sorry you had to buy back your own phone, Chef. That sucks.

Posted: 6/30/08 at 1:37pmThat Shira is good ... she has G_d make it rain, has some sketchy perp steal a phone, and has some ticket scalper keep the victim running around in circles ... all to delay writing a paper.

What do you expect - look who her mentors are!

Shamey, it's no big deal.
SOMMS, she wasn't a ticket scalper. The woman saved my ass. She was a very wonderful, typical New Yorker. She was quite disgusted that the guy made me pay for my phone. And she had AMAZING seats, so it was worth it. I spent a bit more than planned, at the end of the day, but oh well.
But Shira is good... She has quite a brain on her head.

I think there are more good people out there than bad.
Rath once lost her brand new phone in a cab. We called it and the guy who found it agreed to wait for us to come and pick it up from him. He didn't ask for anything but we gave him some drinking money anyway.
Btw, he had already called her emergency contact number to try and return it on his own. Nice guy.

Yeah, I definitely agree with you, Shamey. I mean, most people that I've met or run into in New York are great. Like I said, the woman that I saw Eddie Izzard with was a lifesaver.
And I've learned my lesson - even if it's just for 60 seconds, always keep the purse ZIPPED.

Posted: 6/30/08 at 1:57pmAlways keep everything zipped. Until you're quite sure it's safe to unzip.

Okay, I missed the original post due to finding out that an employee in our group, while on a cruise to Alaska has been in an Alaskan hospital since last Wednesday, with what they think is Mangio (sp?) Encephalitis.
Where does Eddie Izzard fit into all this, and how did the thief get in touch with you? I'm confuzzled.

DD - I swear I had a response typed, but then decided to 'keep it zipped' - but thanks for thinking of me

Posted: 6/30/08 at 2:07pmWell ... usually I think it and you post it, so I have an idea.

Because, you know, everyone has a blog, I actually just added it to mine. I started my blog for other reasons, but just kept updating it with New York stuff. It's in slightly better shape than the mangled form I posted earlier.

Posted: 6/30/08 at 2:08pmGirly - Eddie Izzard met a woman through craigslist who had bought a cell phone from someone in the cab that turned out to be cheffy's mom's phone.

I typed sounding it out, I have no idea what it is yet. Have to go google.
I was hoping she had it saved in Word and could PM it to me or something. I don't know how long it was. Was it epic?
HEY! Cheffy could start a thread about her adventurous day in NY!

I spent the day floating naked in my new boyfriends pool on his ten acre country estate. I like my story better.

Posted: 6/30/08 at 2:11pmI actually thought about starting a thread, but I felt like I'm already pretty obnoxious at times. Did BWW need another obnoxious thread by a naive NY newcomer?
