Thanks to @ChoatieMom, here’s a link to the YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foGu5ZGwaOA&pp=ygUeODggb2x5bXBpY3MgaWNlIGJlYXRsZXMgbWVkbGV5

LOL - I think I tried 5 different screwdrivers (including eyeglass) once learning here to remove the little circular skid pads to find the screws. Threw it all in a pile before travels - time to get back at it :wink:

@ChoatieMom, you are so very kind but that is not what I was looking for. I sure did enjoy watching this couple, however. PS I Love You was not in this particular medley.
Thank you!!

Any TurboTax deals? Usually we get ads and email but don’t recall seeing any this year.

I have a suspicion that whatever videos of that skate existed on YouTube might have been taken down for copyright reasons, so AI can’t find them. But it is just a wild guess.

At the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, U.S. ice dancers Suzy Semanick and Scott Gregory performed their Free Dance to music that included “P.S. I Love You”. They placed 6th overall in the ice dancing competition. This 1988 free dance is available on YouTube.

Glad it is still out there! AI doesn’t always outdo humans :wink: when it comes to finding the right stuff.

BTW, these skaters are the parents of one of our ice dance athlete currently competing in Milan! :slight_smile:

Hope that’s the performance. That was AI that found the performance.

If you are a USAA member or have AAA they reportedly have a 20% off deal

Thank you so much for looking. But I watched this and did not hear P.S. I Love You. I did enjoy them very much, though. I think I dreamed this, LOL.

I found what team it was but alas, I can’t find a video of that performance.
…1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, the song “P.S. I Love You” was notably used by the Japanese ice dancing pair Noriko Sato and Takanori Chiba

A few months ago I asked a question here about my Uber rating dropping. Since then I have made doubly sure I did not slam the car door, have been exceptionally polite and thankful to the drivers, never not been at my pickup place in time, etc. I’ve always behaved well , but even more so now.

And my rating has dropped again…

I give up!!!

Interesting. Noriko Sato skated with Tadayuki Takahashi at the 1984 Olympics.

Oh gosh - I missed that discussion. Just checked - I am a 4.91, phew. (Google says average passenger rating is 4.7, with over 4.8 considered as reliable.) I feel like my tips are generous, though I don’t have a rule of thumb on amount/percentage.

I do wonder if sometimes there is impact by location / routes, ie factors unfairly not related to the passengers themselves. It feels like a driver might just be more grumpy in non-ideal driving conditions.

Part of me wonders if someone else isn’t using your profile too? Is that possible? Or you’re being hacked? It’d almost be worth trying to contact them. It’s just weird. I’m sorry!

@FallGirl you don’t strike me as the type who short tips someone or leaves trash in an Uber or bad mouths them as you’re leaving the car - maybe @ClassicMom98 is onto something!

Related uber question - can you see only the average, or also details of each ride/driver rating?

@Colorado_mom -you can only see the average. At one pointI found a way to see my individual ratings data ( I.e. how many 5’s, 4’s etc) and there were a few 2’s and 1’s -WTH???

I can’t figure out how to do that again. I’ll have ask my son. Or maybe it’s no longer possible.

As for my account being hacked, I have not been charged for rides I didn’t take and looking at my trip history since this happened, I don’t see anything that wasn’t mine.

I agree this seems like some sort of error/hack on your account. I don’t think you can get a 1 unless you throw up or have some other really messy accident.
