Superman!
oh only in ny will you meet superman. Standing in line at the ladies room (photo)...this line was 1 restaurant long and curved. I love the signs in Grand Central restrooms. Ladies Only....Men Only....well that didnt stop one woman from entering the mens room! Good for her, she was out very fast and we were all still standing on the same tile!....And along came a man, not dressed in very good clothes...and kind of not clean...there he is saying "superman!!!!" to everywoman and touching their arm...I thought "Oh no, do NOT give eye contact and he will leave me alone" ...no, he touched my arm too and said "SUPERMAN!" and the lady to people up from me was talking in the other direction & he made an effort to cut in front of the other woman & touch this womans arm and sing "SUPERMAN!" I noticed she turned around in fright...but she sang his "SUPERMAN!" song into the mens room now....
As I looked up towards the ceiling and at the light (Gee, there wasnt much to do waiting in line at the restroom) I saw lots of dust...look at this photo...its of the light in the hall near the ladies room...then to look in a corner of the floor (I didn't photo this one) they need some Mr. Clean to clean the floors, that is scrub the floors, especially in the corner.
Oh the things we think about and notice while waiting in the line so we would not think about how much I have to use the bathroom.
So after a wait of 18 minutes in line, it was now my turn. Well no wonder it took so long in Grand Central ladies room. One section of the toilets were closed off. And now I enter a stall. Good to bring your own paper...there was toilet paper but it was not in the container, so I wont use it. It might of hit the floor or better yet, fell in the toilet then was put back...NOT BY THE ATTENDANDS BUT BY THE CUSTOMERS...I have to say that the Attendants in the womens room keep it up very nicely and I praise them! Although at that time, they were not there, but a man was in the other section fixing the toilets....
Ok, time to wash my hands and along came out of one of the stalls, a roll of toilet paper rolling along the floor right in front of my feet. I didnt pick it up...just labeled it as ANOTHER ADVENTURE IN THE LIFE OF SPEEDY!...
So the moral of this adventure is
1: always (if you are a woman) bring some napkins from a restaurant with you in case you need toilet paper.
2: Never use the toilet paper if it is out of its protective metal locked holder.
3: Beware of "SUPERMAN!"
4: Love New York for all the adventures...
Adventure at Toys R Us!
Toys R Us...had to bring my friend who is from another part of the state..He has never saw such a toy store especially with the Ferris wheel inside the store and the legos! Oh i want the empire state lego building and the Chrysler building out of legos!!!!
So we are leavening to go to the DEA museum in the city and see and hear fire trucks police...& i said to my friend "this must be something heavy because look at the trucks going...this is not just a normal fire...well come to find out, it was pepper spray at the Toys R Us store we just left...The exits in the store are annoying and I am thankful I wasn't in there at that time...You really cant get out fast enough ..there is only one exit on floor 2 & I had to ask 4 times someone how to exit..."Go up one floor on the escalator" So I did...followed the exit signs to back to where I was ...so now what? Ask again...you went up 2 floors...go down to one floor and follow the signs...so I did...now it sounds as though it was only 2 times I asked but it wasn't, it was at least 4.............We got out!
and where was "SUPERMAN" though all this?
