you know most people would not just leave someone they know hanging, but people on craigslist and freecycle do it ALL THE TIME.
My meatspace friends used to all the time. I was forever finding out people couldn't go do stuff only when they failed to show up. It came to a head when I sent 14 invites to my Angel 100th episode party, got 11 affirmative responses, and had ONE guest actually show up. (Thankfully the birthday of a co-worker I've been friends with for 20 years was the next day, so I ended up unexpectedly catering her birthday lunch with about $150 worth of party food.)
Kathy, maybe you should throw an impromptu barbeque.
My mother's first realization that she had moved to a whole new planet (Manhattan to the Midwest) came when people showed up to a dinner party precisely on time and she was in her bathrobe about to get in the shower.
I gotta hand it to lisah. When asked by my neighbor how we knew each other, she came out with "Social networking!" Of course, I blew it with "that's better than invisible internet friends" but still, new term!
Loki likes the deck and is pretty well behaved on it, for a psycho kitten.
It's not how many people come to the party, as long as it's the right company. I'm glad you had a good time with lisah and bob and the neighbor.
I have kids in the tub. Dang but they come home grubby. I think I'm going to try The Sound of Music on them as DH has to work late tonight.
Isn't just perfect-I have a job interview tomorrow and last night a mosquito bit me on the face! I'm allergic so it is very swollen and red, and on my face!
Wish me luck, I'm gonna need it.
Yeah, no really except for the good few who showed, it was a bust. A good bust, but a bust. I accept that. Thank god for bob & lisah & Anna.
sara, I'd come if I were on the same coast.
Oh man. I have to get Noah headed towards bed time. I have ZERO motivation.
I'll take the Noah bedtime! Oh wait...wrong coast. Again.
Called 311 and they say I get a redo on the recycling pickup. Will spray paint the can with RECYCLE anyway.
