Hopefully if this is a party, the guests are your friends and will understand possible tech issues, last minute kid issues, etc. It is a party, relax!

Shelley Green

My zooms are usually late. I'm always on time or early.

Tina Bouthillier

No. Be on time for wherever you are expected to be. Keeping people waiting is rude.

rover6rover

On time is the right time.

Robert Davidson

I want to be on time for everything except my own funeral.

Jane

No. I don’t appreciate tardiness for any reason so I’m almost never tardy.

Mary Claus

Everyone's time is important and we should respect it. Set an alarm and be on time!

Being late for anything is never OK.

Elizabeth Holden

Zoom has to be set up and arranged in a specific timeframe: who wants to stare at an empty screen?

Kaitlin Mills

you should never be late unless there is a problem

Bertha Goggin

If you are given a time to start, then that means it is time to start. If it is a VERY informal party, you should still be no more than 5 minutes late.

Nancy Cohn Peled

Never cool to keep people waiting. In fact being late is a feature of passive aggressiveness. If you anticipate issues that might delay you, then start earlier.

Lrac Snave

Early is on time. On time is late. Late is unforgivable.

I like veggie burgers (Morning Star brand)

Lisa Gray

I thought it tasted just like meat. I have gastrointestinal issues, so this is a great alternative.

YUCK! "Where's the Beef?" as an old commercial said.

Bonnie Batten

I have no desire to try fake meat or milk.

Bob Pickett

rover6rover

Our vegetarian daughter ate some of these once upon a time -- but us, never.

When I lived in the city, I'd take the bus if I didn't have a car or it was unavailable. I'd do the same in this small town if there were any, but the local gov't doesn't want to put money into it. We need it badly. If you don't have a car or a ride, you are screwed! Espacially, when very hot/cold!

Robert Davidson

I live in NYC, which has an extensive public transportation system. I do not need a car and using public transportation is better for the environment.

Tina Bouthillier

I own a car

Phyllis

I live in the county and no buses available. I drive a car now, but in 3 months will turn 80 and want to stop driving. I will sell my car and pay people to take me to appts and vets etc. I have groceries and pet supplies delivered.

There are no buses in the country. If I lived in a big city, maybe I would.

Shane Hill

Because i don't have to.

Valerie Lantz

I live in a rural area without public transportation available.

Theresa Scherf

It's not an option. I live out in the country ca. 5 miles from town.

Lori Johnson

Public transportation is not an option where I live.

rover6rover

Living in the country it's not an option. Sometimes ride the L in Chicago during family visits and we were on and off the subway in NYC last fall -- the only way to get around!

linda tansey
