What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
My husband planned a party for fellow managers from work, since their job didn't have anything for Christmas. Three sent an RSVP for themselves and spouses, but none ended up showing up. We prepped and cooked for 10 people. At least we don't have to cook this weekend or clean house, I guess. He texted them after they should have been here and asked when they were going to show up. They all forgot about it. He didn't remind them days ago or anything, but they are adults and could have remembered.
We'll probably never do that again.
Sorry it happened that way, but things have a way of taking care of themselves. You may have been saved from an awful evening of people you may not have anything in common with, and that would be miserable. Enjoy your clean house and good food. At least you can relax. Not everyone is as wonderful as your friends here at GAW ❤️
That’s so inconsiderate. If you don’t want to go to something at least make an excuse. There’s no way everyone forgot. I guess some adults have been spoiled by doctors and dentist calling to remind you of an appointment.
Should have reminded them. We've all got literal plastic in our brains and the entire culture has a minor case of ADD due to phone notifications. We do not have the brains or bodies that those who died in the 50s or 60s did.
Also, if you send invitations as an email, most services like Gmail and Outlook will use AI to offer the recipient to automatically put the event in their calendar for them. Of course, I recognize that this only increases a reliance on notifications for us to remember anything, but I still thought the functionality was worth mentioning.
Take some extras to a nearby homeless!
I agree he should have reminded them, and I believe the invite he used sent a reminder as well.
Sorry that happened, their loss. I would come help eat that food for you if I could! People can be so inconsiderate, but, as you say, you and he can enjoy prepared food and a clean house, so, take the weekend off and do whatever it is you would like to do!
That’s rude. Especially in the smartphone era.🥺
BTW, have a hug and flowers, LQdy!💐🙏🏻
Thank you, kind friend!
Sorry Fren, that sucks!
Thanks, friend. :)
I did walk over 14,000 steps, so it wasn't for nothing. 😉
Hey that's pretty good. My teenage son and daughter have both started tracking steps and stuff, and last week both of them had a day that they were excited to share with me that they'd taken 16k steps in a single day.... And that's a 13 and 14 yr old.... so yeah, damn, you're moving like a teenager! Well done.
Haha! Thanks!! Not bad for a 44 year old with a bad knee, eh?
It is worse when it is family that doesn't show up. I had that happen once.
That would suck! I'm sorry it happened to you.
Sadly, that is people these days. I don't enjoy very many of them very much.
Sadly. My husband rarely puts himself out there, and when he does, this happens. He will not do it again. We were looking forward to hosting them. I do have a plan to invite my pastor and his family over at some point. They live in the neighborhood adjoining ours. He's really neat to talk to. I don't expect he'll flake out.
You and your husband sound like great, honorable people. He should continue to put himself out there if he wishes to, don't let one bad experience change his course of action to be more "out there"
