in the lobby of a cheap hotel doing wifi

Another week on the road in South Carolina.

I went to Olive Garden for lunch to fill up on salad, and now I'm in the lobby of another badass Motel 6 because the wifi signal is weak in my room. A guy in a Lincoln pulled up screeching the tires. He ran up to the hotel desk and asked the woman there, "I need a room for 45 minutes, just 45 minutes, you got anything?" She stepped away for about a minute, came back and said, "$20...cash". He tossed a twenty, she tossed the key. I couldn't help but glance into the passenger side of the Lincoln. NASTY! lol.

Love for sale...rooms by the hour. :heart: We'll leave the light on for you.

Saldad, wiffi, women 1 hour. Did you get connection to myopera? That's my question.

By the way. This is midsummer day in my country, probably many others. St. Hans aften. So lovely here in Norway tonight. It's past 0100 and we had a marvelous night grilling, drinking and chatting:)

I went to a school with a 20 minutes "hotel" at the other side of the road. The musician room we had on third floor was on the opposite side of the street. The "hotel" had not money for curtains and ....

We had a German opera singer as a teacher and it sounded something like this. "Now you have to quite BE". Werb at last word. People from England would probaly have said. Please, may I have your attention. And USA "find the camera."

AHAHAHAHAHA........ Funny

lol. Find the camera. Exactly! We have to use that flickr account for something. One time we were near Merida, Mexico, after a few drinks and stopped at the Hotel Paraiso (Paradise Hotel). We got surcharged $10 for not being "conventional". There was a Denny's menu on the night stand and a mirror on the ceiling. We've had some ok vacations. :wink:

I left the lobby and am now in the room again. This cell phone wanks a little on internet. Laptop won't grab wifi signal in the room. Signal is better in the 45 minute room maybe?

LOL...oooh. I've done that. Tawdry, I know...:devil:

But you know, life is too short for cheap hotels....

Years ago there were two by-the-hour hotels across the street from each other in my city. There were traffic jams as hookers wandered out into the busy 4-lane road, cars slammed on brakes, police cars in the mix. It made the news when one of the hotel managers yelled out to the other in front of cameras, "you keep your whores on your side of the street, and I'll keep mine on mine." The city government stepped in and said you both will keep your whores off the street and sidewalk. From then on, the ladies walked the grassy area between the hotels and the sidewalk. Problem solved!

LOL - great story!

Renting a room for 45 minutes? That guy really knows himself quite well, eh?
We have those hotels here too. Also near a school, and here, too, the ladies are no longer allowed to parade on the streets.

So, JTazzie has been to, I mean, knows of The Seals Motel. j/k.

That makes me curious of some of the names of these places.

Here, a famous one was "El-Ranch-O". Then it changed to "Smith's Ranch Motel".

A downtown flop joint was called "The TravelLodge", then it changed to "The Downtowner", then to "The Golden Eagle" complete with a giant neon golden eagle whirling over it, now it's a "TravelLodge" again. Rates are $35.99/night per the sign, which is what they were 20 years ago.

So found my old hospital interesting?? hehe, well for some 16 years old schoolboys it was. We grew up in decent homes and the mobile phone was not invented. It was actually a tragedy what we saw in my opinion.

Summer is here i Oslo, it's midsummer it's the darkest of the night but a newspaper can be read without using electric light. I love this time of year.
A famous Norwegian song is about not to wast a summer night with sleeping it should be enjoyed beneath a tree with you:)

There used to be one here called "The Lucky Strike"; it's now a Howard Johnsons, now would that be Whore-Jo? Or HOJO?

slackwrdave 27. June 2009, 05:56

HOJO. Another old chain that defies logic that they are still in business.
