"GOD! Does this mean I have to get all active and start caring about other people?"
AHAHAHAHA. Yeah.
(eta that I didn't mean "yeah, he has to start caring," rather, "yeah, I can identify with that sentiment.")

Yeah--I'm definitely one of the more the merrier types, and often SAY that on invitations. But if I don't say that, or if there's something odd about your guest (age? an ex? a straight man amongst lesbians?) it's definitely appreciated if you run it by first...

And even if they are ok with extras, what if they're not ok with that particular extra?
The extra function on evite being a default is a menace. Clearly.

ARGH. Evite strikes again - my sister has invited all FOUR of her roommates to D's birthday party. Now I have to call her and get them uninvited - 4 extra people at a one year-old's party is WAY TOO MANY.
And I'm extra-pissed she didn't ask me first. She should know better.

oh, and did I mention that he screwed up the dates (or was confusing in telling me), and it's actually NEXT week. Which is good for planning, but bad in that I have to leave the house at 6AM the next day to be on the plane for the F2F? This plus the extra people makes me SO tempted to cancel. But, it does give me an excuse not to go out to the cheesy college bar that I know he's going to want to go to on Thursday :)

Perhaps the first rule of technology should be, just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD.so true. Also should work on non-tech things. "well, there was no SIGN to say don't walk here!" Common sense... its not so common!

ok, maybe not. Maybe I just need more sleep.
QUESTION! I think Meara & Erin_O would have the most recent experience with this. For those who have recently moved, roughly, how much weight did y'all have? Just trying to guess what pound range to estimate my shit at. I don't have a lot of furniture, but I do have a fair amount of books and some audio equipment. MUST FINALIZE MOVERS SITUATION SOON! Ack! Stress. me? NO! ACK!

We filled out a movers' form recently and they said to estimate 1200 pounds per room (excluding bathrooms).

SOOOOo makes it easy to cancel and reschedule as a different party just for the people you wanted!!!!
I don't know how much weight it was Omnis, I wasn't paying, so I didn't have to know. :(

I think it totally depends what furniture you have. I had way more books than normal, but, since I was taking very little furniture, it evened out. I can look up what the weight was when I get home.
But I had at least two companies personally come look at my stuff for estimates. That way I knew in advance what it was going to be.

At my house:
"Well, this is where all the books are, and there are several hundred of them, probably should add a few pounds there."
"OK, this is the armory, with the swords and armor and hammers and sheets of metal and all. It may need a separate truck."
Which is why people like me move themselves.
