    the quiet car ...

    We are on AMTRAK ...and in the quiet car...and? Well, you guessed it! A loud passenger! But this woman tops everything in that not only is she very loud (even if we were not in quiet car) but is working two cell phones. Sooner or later some other passenger is going to tell her to shut up since she is driving entire cars nuts. No, I can't and won't since I don't want to read about it tomorrow but I am sitting waiting for someone to explode all over her. By the way, you can hear her even if you have headphones on (I tried it.)

You should have bought her a doughnut and told her you're doing a study of multi-tasking while eating a doughnut.

You know what I would do? Just get on my cell go and stand right next to her - dial any ole number - and talk twice as loud as her. Then, I would look at her very sweetly and smile but continue to speak as loud as I can. Believe me she would get the message.

HI GRETA, I'am surprised someone did not go get the conductor.

Greta, you should have asked her in your very unique way of asking questions, if she minded having duel cell phones discussions recorded for your evening segment story. I'd be willing to bet she would have shut both phones down and moved her seat.

THE JOKER

The O man looked like he had a big pout when he appeared today to say that AARP supports him.He left the room in a big hurry and wouldn't answer a question.Is AARP getting some of that stimulus like ACORN? Its pretty hard to respect A Presdent that lies and cheats to get what he wants.

My weapon of choice in a situ like this is a really stinky fart, and I am a professional at that, just ask my wife. Pops...

Wow Brickster acting like he is Greta's agent. I suggest brickster, when your life becomes perfect in every sense, then you can ask Greta if you can interfer in her life and pursuits, work related or other wise. Perfecting your life brickster, I am sure will take up most of your remaining life time and beyond. Take a cell phone to the grave to you when you die, and we will have some one call you Collect and tell you how you are doing. Pops...

What's really funny about that is there certainly not any seniors backing AARP. We don't need them anyway-or Obamanation's HC. We're already rich, ie., silver in our hair, gold in our teeth, stones in our kidneys, sugar in our blood, lead in our feet, iron in our arteries...not to mention an inexhaustible supply of natural gas!

I didn't know Amtrak even had a "Quiet" car ! I would have requested it a long time ago.

On your pole, Greta. The last answer, which I would choose, is None of the Above.

More Whining

Greta, if it's that miserable for you traveling, just stay at your desk. You need to be working on the NEWS story about the majority of Republican senators who voted against protecting victims of kidnapping, sexual assault, gang rape and false imprisonment and about Senator Burr (R-NY) who supports the policies of America's health insurers to deem domestic violence a pre-existing condition anyway. Get back to DC, work hard and get this done!/s/ Brick

To the email who asked about "AARP"--the "messiah" announced today that AARP/AMA are approving his Healthcare bill. I think they both will"fall" choosing this bill,hope so."O" sounded like his H1N1 isn't working or he doesn't keep his mouth shut enough. I too think they are ignorant(staff/him)to decide executies need the H1N1 vaccine before our kids. Greta,I miss the old "On The Record",why are you doing politics instead now-- Ailes decision? I don't watch any longer,are others?Go back,please

Well, Greta, I'd rather be listening to some loud woman talking on two cell phones than have to hear the latest surg of lies by our so-called Commander in Thief. He said on a press conference today that the AMA stands behind the HC. Someone needs to explain to this idiot that a few doctors in white robes in a photo shoot does not a majority make... God help us impeach this imposter!

I am beginning to think we live in a very selfish society. The cell phone issue is ridiculous. Sorry you had to experience that, Greta. Last weekend, my husband and I were at the movies and a woman (not a kid) was on her cell phone (that had rung during the movie). She was laughing and carrying on. Finally, a bunch of us couldn't take it any longer and yelled to her to be quiet. Do you know, she continued for a few minutes longer?!!! Someone actually went and got security.

Too bad you are having to suffer. Some folks have not consideration for those around them. Great rally on capitol hill today. I hope the dems are listening. If not, several of them will lose their house seats in 2010. I have already put my congress person on notice. He made me mad when he voted for Cap & Trade aka Cap and Tax and Tax and Tax some more.

I would like to suggest that Gretta get a Sleeper room-that way you don't have to deal with idiots like that. we go from Indiana to Denver & we always get a sleeper. We get 2 meals & a bed & wonderful people to work with on the Amtrack...We spent moeny with them this year since it was cheaper & they did the driving. Besides the food is great!

I don't have a cell phone and I don't answer the telephone at home if they are not my kids. So, once you have worked in a communication department on telephones 8 hours a day. you will never want to talk to anyone much. Your ears need a rest. I disagree with you, You should have stood up.This is America, no one needs to be talking on 2 CELLS in a quiet car or any other car. NEXT TIME GRETA,,,,,,YOU NEED TO STAND UP. INTERVIEW THIS PERSON. TELL THEM THIS IS A QUIET CAR, NOT THE LOUD CAR!
