September 8, 201412 yr Author today I go out into the big wild world im going to attempt to get on the 2 buses I need to get to the animal shelter and do my first stint of volunteer work I am nervous but excited i know once I have done this once i will be ok I seem to have lost some of my confidence I had in my youth but Im guessing this is a good thing to be a little cautious at the beginning I have spoken to a few fellow animal loving neighbours so thats nice and I have met a nice lady who wants to go for walks with her dog and have coffee the only down side to this is she wants me to go to church with her - my salvation days are long gone lol but it might be an opportunity to meet more people and to do some more volunteer work as they they volunteer in nursing homes, prisons, homeless and addicts so its an avenue I will explore as long as they dont want me to preach! will update you later hopefully not from detroit!!
September 8, 201412 yr This post put a big smile on my face..... It's nice to hear you have stuff to do,and chatting to folks....little steps angel.....

September 8, 201412 yr Lol. Just caught up with this thread. Tracey keep your top on while volunteering. :)
September 9, 201412 yr Author I did it B) although not without drama! I get on first bus and say to the driver please tell me when I need to get off as I dont know where to :imnewhere: - oh "yes mam no problem" 30 minutes later and I am nearly in Cleveland! - driver calls me to the front "oh mam your stop was way back, I gone and forgot about you" :girl_cray2: WHAT????? "i will set you down right here and here is a free ticket go across the road and get the 51 bus right back" Holy crap and all that is furry where the hell did he set me down? it looked like Beirut! I did not feel safe there at all and I did not wait for the 51 bus i jumped on the first bugger that came along to just get me out of there! Met a nice driver on this bus and she set me in the right direction and then i had to get another bus to the shelter Yay I made it to the shelter, walked 1 dog and then the power went out and we volunteers had to leave OMG! thank goodness rez was picking me up as i was exhausted by now lol on the plus side I met a nice Lebanese Volunteer so I might be getting lifts in with her in the future :) Rez and I retraced the bus route and i wrote it all down :) so although quite nerve racking I was thrilled to have done it and confident i can do it now without any drama! going to the mall today is going to be easy as cheese cake which before yesterday seemed daunting :) things are getting better :P
September 9, 201412 yr Ohhh I'm sorry the bus driver forgot about you. I know that is horrible! :( New shoes at the mall today might make it better!
September 9, 201412 yr jimmy just liked her company, didn't forget. stick with walked dogs and not addicts. addicts will like to walk you to real bad places. plus they stop and smell each other's butts more
September 9, 201412 yr Author jimmy just liked her company, didn't forget. stick with walked dogs and not addicts. addicts will like to walk you to real bad places. plus they stop and smell each other's butts more Yes I will probably not do the prison or addicts way above my league but will do the nursing homes they sniff butts too :)
September 9, 201412 yr Aww. Tracey..... I was full of fear for you reading that.....plonked in the middle of nowhere....scary.... You did the right thing high tailed it out of there.... Let's hope it gets better,ya a lift sounds ideal..... I would have probably curled up in a ball .....your a gutsy lady..... Hugs xx
September 9, 201412 yr Ya, but to be stuck in Cleveland is THE worst possible situation for anyone visting this wonderful country.
September 9, 201412 yr Dear Tracey, Your adventure had the potential to have scared the pants off me and I am pretty street smart and live in a dangerous city ! I have been in your boots and it sucks. Below is a link to google earth where you can get directions, get bus routes, bike routes, walking routes etc. PLUS, you can have a look at 'street view' and really identify where the f-ck you are going and what it will look like when you get there. I use this ALL the time, in town and especially in towns I visit. I have found it ESSENTIAL. It took me a while to figure out all the things you can do on the site but, it was time well spent Glad you have your third eye watching behind you and guardian angels working overtime for you. here is the map, https://www.google.com/maps/place/Ohio/@40.1903624,-82.6692525,8z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x8836e97ab54d8ec1:0xe5cd64399c9fd916 I have it on Ohio but, I don't know where you are so, just type in your town and have a virtual stroll around. Hope this helps, bebe. S
September 10, 201412 yr Hey Tracey - glad you made it through - and did get to the shelter - sounds scary but look on the bright side - you really are getting to see all parts of the states ... Even the bits you probably didn't want to !
September 10, 201412 yr Author sally the google map thing is a fantastic idea I panic a bit when I dont know my surroundings or if I get lost and dont know whats around me I didnt even think of this so i will be doing the research tonight thanks so much I thinkn this will help me get familiar real quick without the risk factors you are a gem thanks so much xxxx I managed to get to the mall ok yesterday, I had to wait an hour as 2 buses that should have turned up didnt but I was at my own complex son I was chilled about it then when the bus did turn up I asked "do you go to the mall" "ummm I dont know I think I do im new I just drive the bus round a route" "FANTASTIC I THOUGHT THE BLOODY BLIND LEADING THE BLIND!!!!" after the days before fiasco I decide to just get on the dam bus and figure it out! stupid driver drives right around the mall has he got blinkers on its the bloody size of parliment! getting a lift with new friend today into shelter and she is dropping me back home too - slight risk factor but am using my instincts on this one she is lebonese lived here for 30 years us foreigners need to stick together lol
