Yes, you are the most important person...to you! In my world, James and I are the most important to me...in Justin's world, he, his wife, and his 9 month old are the most important people to him...etc etc, but you are not the most important thing to us, hence our priorities being somewhere else.That means working, or spending time at home on our anniversary, caring for the children/parents, etc etc. Hence things coming up and people not being able to come like they originally thought they would.

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.

Sure, the post had your info. Great. Does that mean everyone automatically knows exactly where you live? Even with mapquest, google earth, and a bunch of nifty technology, many people are still navigationally challenged, and usually avoid driving somewhere they don't know how to get to unless with someone. But, the point is, even if they know where you live or could figure out how to get there, there a TON of other factors, including whether they even like you, that dictate whether they will show up.

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.

**** happens. Emergencies come up. Real life gets in the way. I can see if it's the same people over and over that say they'll go then don't, but I don't think that is the case the majority of the time.

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.

No, I think it's wonderful you were willing to have people, whether you knew them or not, over to your house to party on your dime. I've had a few of these myself back when I lived at my dad's and he'd go away for the weekend. But I was happy with whoever showed up, even if only 1 or 30 people did. I didn't get mad at people because they didn't come. I'm offended that you EXPECTED more than 4 people to come...based on the response in the original thread, not many people were planning to join you anyway (of the 7 posts in the thread, 3 were yours, leaving 4 people who responded, all saying no). I"m offended you wanted expected ANYONE there, let alone the 4 people who did come.

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!

I didn't start any brawl. I just stated what I saw and how I felt about what you said.
And while I"m at it, I'll respond to this too...

I DO have to DO all those things. WOW! Now I see the light! Just like all you stiffs I guess I can't even afford to drink with me!  |
Yes, you have to do all of that too. Good for you. Except you didn't have to pay the gas bill to drive to YOUR house, since, well, you live there already. And, well, you weren't working that day obviously, since, well, you wanted to party. Others did have to work to pay the bills. AND, you didn't HAVE to buy $50 worth of beer...you could have bought a little bit, and if you needed more, bought more, or had people bring it. But, you chose to buy $50 worth, and then you get mad no one showed up. And, you didn't have something else come up preventing you from partying, like maybe some others did.
I could go on and on about every single part of the post. But I'm done. And unless compelled, I'm done posting in this thread.
