Just a general pop in thread

That's really sad you can't go to Broadway and see Kieran, fingers crossed he does make a guest appearance with his brother though. It's so annoying when you can't do the things you want to do for whatever reason, like health, money, distance etc. It's a real shame :(
mare:
Thanks, Steph! good news. I did get tickets for Macauley's show on November 30th. I'm in terrible seats. It's a small win, but I'll take it.

I'm glad you got most of Chloe's things back, but wow, Amy sounds terrible!
That makes more sense why the ship wasn't as accessible as it should be. I get that it takes time and money to bring older facilities up to code when it comes to current ADA guidelines. I'm sure the newer ships are much better in that respect. Not sure how old the hotel was, but that's pathetic that they can just put bars in the shower and call it "accessible." I've come across the same kind of issues in my research, too - showers that are supposedly roll-in still have a lip/step, beds are too high or too low, toilets don't have enough space to allow a transfer from a wheelchair... but, hey, as long as there are bars on the wall! 🙄 And there usually aren't as many photos as you'd want to see when trying to assess whether or not a place would be accessible, or the photos they include are not representative of the actual room you're reserving. It has to be so defeating to only discover places are inaccessible when you get there. That seems like an ADA violation to only have stairs and no ramp or elevator, but I know older buildings that haven't been renovated since ADA was passed can get away with more. And it's even harder to find private homes that don't have any steps to get inside.
I'm sorry about NYC! Planning a trip can be stressful enough without having to figure out all those logistics you listed. I would be overwhelmed by it all too. I'm glad you at least got tickets for the Macauley thing in Buffalo! That sounds fun!
I hope you can churn up some inspiration for writing! It's always hard for me to get back into my writing groove after a vacation. Speaking of fanfic, I don't know if Tracy DMed you too, but Whatever the Night May Bring was mentioned in a BSB fanfic thread on Reddit! https://www.reddit.com/r/BackstreetBoys/comments/1fdms7b/lost_fanfiction_from_early_2000s/
Steph, I'm so sorry your concert got cancelled! Did the artist give a reason? That is so strange to cancel it six days before the show! Very frustrating that everything else you booked was nonrefundable too. I'm glad your daughter will still be able to use the train and hotel, but that's still very disappointing.
Like Mare said, it does seem like this happens more often lately. I could understand it when live events started happening right after Covid, but that wouldn't explain canceling a whole tour. Between BSB canceling their Vegas Christmas shows and all Nick's canceled shows and convention appearances in the past few years, they've gotten kind of flakey lately. It makes me more reluctant to travel long distances to see them.
mare:
We still haven't gotten Chloe's things back. She hasn't dropped anything off yet. This woman!
Thanks for letting me know about the reddit post. At first, I was just going to give her a like until I saw her asking if I was a Trump fan! Yikes!!! Now I'm thinking maybe I need to put an Author's Note at the top of that story to explain the reason I picked him was because I was confident the man would cause an apocalypse!
My house isn't accessible either. There's no way to get into or out of this place without having to climb at least 5 steps. I can't even use my wheelchair in the house easily because the hallway is too narrow. I can't access the basement or the upstairs bedroom so I can only really hang on the first floor. I have to depend on my sister to do my laundry since the washer and dryer are in the basement, but that's fine because I'm the only one whoever washes the dishes in this place. Eventually we're going to have to decide to either invest in a ramp or move.
How has your first few weeks of school gone? Do you have an easy class this year?
Carter-Orange:
Mare I can't believe that pet sitter still hasn't brought the things back to you. I hope you left her a bad review! And I hope you manage to sort out your house too or move somewhere more accessible. I can't imagine what in inconvenience that must be.
Julie, no the singer didn't give a reason for the tour cancellation, he just said he only found out it was cancelled when we did. His management said something about the local promoter, but to cancel the whole European and Dubai tour seems a bit harsh.
It seems a lot of singers/groups cancel these days. I was supposed to see Shawn Mendes last year with my daughter but he cancelled too.
