11:29 @RochelleVeturis yes, we eloped

nobody@vox.com(chris) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 03:15:04 -0800

11:29 @RochelleVeturis yes, we eloped - just the 2 of us & the officiant. Can't get more intimate than that. #
14:08 UPS delivered our package to the wrong address. let the nightmares begin! #
14:14 UPS customer service told us to drive over to business park to get package they misdelivered. Tried calling to see which business. No luck. #
14:21 ironically package was sent from UPS Store. If they can't find it no one can. #
14:22 now UPS has called & are working on it, but can't call us again - have to work with the shipper (aka the UPS Store). This is driver is sue. #
14:24 @frogtosser this is MAJOR issue with all shipping services - the receiver is not in control. Sounds like someone is on it. It's 3 miles away #
14:26 sad thing is have been here before with UPS. They misdelivered a battery to CompUSA that was supposed to go to my apartment. #
14:38 @undomesticdiva they are going the wrong way! thought things were headed to year round school. #

14:20 @ladyguenivere sad thing is I have mobileme, but hadn't set it up. good news is that it would appear no one has used phone. #
14:29 @hermorrine I've used the nose swabs. It helps if you catch at first sign. Definitely made symptoms go away more quickly. #
19:03 @ladyguenivere at this point we have reactived the sim. no one used it, so either it ended up in the hotel laundry, or was picked by a pro. #
19:05 @hardlynormal i used to volunteer on crisis line. there is no way to prepare. if he called though, he wants help. it's when they don't call. #
19:14 @hardlynormal it's impossible to know what motivates people. you did what you can do. you were there. #
