[Did you ever say you'd be somewhere and something else came up and you didn't go? Is it really that unfeasible that people's plans do change, where something more important comes up? Yes - there are things more important than UBG, sorry, it had to be said.]
No, there are not things more important than ubg. Do you have a job? Do you take care of a family? Do you pay your bills? If you do those things, doesn't that make your priorites # 1 to you? Well, I learned a long time ago that the only person that is gonna take care of ME is ME! So, yeah, I am the VIP in my world. As we say in racing: Second place is the first place of LOSERS!
[There may be 1800 members, but only 300 are active. Of that, I"m willing to bet nearly half live too far, especially with the gas prices. Another portion of members are too young. Another portion work on the weekends. Another portion rarely have a weekend to themselves. Others have kids they can't leave alone, or sports or other functions to attend. You get the point. In the end, maybe only 50 have any possibly of coming. Then it's a matter of seeing the post, knowing where you live, liking you to even want to hang out, and a number of other factors.]
The post had my addy and my phone #. What other info should I give? And as I stated before, this was just another episode in a long list of stiffs. There are people here who live w/in God damn walking distance of my house and are nothing but mouth breathers.
[Look at the monthly meets for the board. Of those 300 active members, maybe 20 - 30 max come to any given meet. And those are with a lot of planning ahead of time. And those meets have some people that say they are coming and can't for some other reason.]
Yeah, I know all about people giving lip service and playing ghost when it's time to show. But that is Justin and Tim's bag to deal with. And if they dealt with it by canceling all meets due to lack of interest, people who never put any time in would jaw break about that, too.
[People are not f'ed up. You are assuming a board with 1800 members (200 active) would drop everything and run to your house for a meet with little more than 24 hours notice. Calling people f'ed up is a sure fire way to get them to come the next time, right? [/sarcasm] Personally, I'm offended that you would expect myself and my husband, as well as the rest of this board, to drop everything and come to hang out with you with very little notice, assuming everyone had seen the post and had the free time to drop by.]
Um, now lemme get this straight: YOU are OFFENDED that I invited people [of which were You, Jim, and whoever else ya wanted to bring] over to my house to party on my dime? What is this, are we playing Bizarro world, where everything is the opposite of reason? If being invited to party offends you, I'd hate to see what you'd do to the Publisher's Clearinghouse folks if they showed up on your doorstep w/ a BIG check for ya. What would ya do, mow 'em down w/ an uzi? And they call ME unstable! lol Note to self: yup, peeps still b f'd up.
But, you are right. I've learned my lesson. NO MORE MR NICE GUY for ubg. Nice guys finish LAST, and ubg is a WINNER! Tonight when I shave my head I'm gonna carve a "666" in my forehead. And tomorrow, WATCH OUT WORLD! I'm gonna start by making old ladies cross the street WHEN THEY DON'T WANNA CROSS THE STREET! I'm gonna go to an Over Eaters
Anonymous meeting and order in a buncha loaded Domino's pizzas! I'm gonna do **** that makes Charlie Manson look like Mr Rogers! And hey, **** on Wheels, since you started this brawl, here's something really foul just for you. I hope you enjoy it!
