Guest guest Posted December 31, 2000 Report Share Posted December 31, 2000 Probably not NCC, I suspect a lot of the single people on this list are in similar situations. New Years Eve 2000, the dawn of a new millennium, and it is a *very* quiet night at my house. I was invited to two different parties, but I have a difficult time driving, especially at night. My best friend, who lives about 7 miles away, has called several times, trying to convince me to come over. He is well aware of my difficulties with driving. However, all of the taxi services here are overloaded. I have tried for about two hours to get in contact with a dispatcher, and both major taxi services have rung busy for the entire time. It feels odd that my friend has not offered to come over and get me. We have been friends for many (17) years, he knows that I would be there with him, his wife, my godsons and his friends if I could. Somehow, I don't think it right for me to ask him to interrupt his evening to come and get me (it's about 20 minutes each way). Or perhaps he has been drinking, and he doesn't feel safe to drive... Or perhaps I am making excuses. Plus, my immediate family is out of town over the holidays. Or maybe I am just whining, but I feel more alone tonight than I have felt in a long time. In any case, I hope that each of you, and your loved ones, have a happy, prosperous and pain free year. I am glad that there is someplace that I can write about my feelings. -- -sylvan http://www.braintrustfund.org (under construction) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
