A Plea for Help from Locals

Please, someone, anyone, (in the area) I need a ride after work today from a train station (I generally come into Jersey Ave, but I can go to any station on the Northeast Corridor) to either my mechanics (if, that is, my car is fixed, which is possible, but who knows the likelihood... I'll maybe explain about the podmobile's latest issues later) or to my house. Please? Please please? It's really far to walk. Like, at least 6 miles to the mechanic, probably 10 to my house. Please? Someone? Anyone? Please? I'll be eternally grateful. I'll make dinner. Or buy dinner. Or something. Please?

Yeah, but I thought you were leaving earlier than that, so I wasn't going to ask really. :) I can get in to either station at anywhere from 5:30-6:30. I would greatly appreciate it, but at the same time, if someone else offers, you can still go to Philly as early as you had planned. :)

I was planning to leave for Swarthmore between 5 and 6:30, so it is no bother at all. If I go earlier I have to deal with a whole lot more commuter traffic. I have no preference for a train station, but 5:30--6:00 would be a good time frame.

I can give you a ride if you need it. Do you have my cell phone #?

I get out at 2 pm today and have a dr.'s appointment but I'll be free all afternoon and would be happy to give you a ride.

I believe I do have it actually, thank you. :)

I still need to talk to the mechanic and all. And since it's on [livejournal.com profile] nanne's way to where he's going, I may go with him. So. I will let you know for sure probably around 4pm. Is that okay with you?

I'm guessing you sorted out the ride with [livejournal.com profile] nanne right? Hope that worked out ok.. the rain is incredible out there!

Yes! Yes I did! Sorry I didn't call! Thanks again for offering the ride though! And you have no idea how much better my car is. It's freaky. And yeah, the rain was scary impressive. I just went home and vegged out with some dvds and a book.

It was raining heavily yesterday too. I'm glad everything worked out. DVDs and books are great to veg out to! :)

I'd give you one if I was closer!

I'm glad someone is taking care of you. I got distracted by work this afternoon otherwise I would have offered sooner. So, what's up with the podmobile?

That's okay. It was broked, now it's fixed. :)

But I miss you! We need to do something soon!
