There were/are other factors (like me GROSSLY underestimating how dog-ass tired I would be after walking around for like 9 hours), but yea, let's all go in on something that a) doesn't concern you, and b) you don't know everything about. I do feel really shitty about this - I do. If I had known what the day was going to be like I would probably not have planned this. It was my first time going to this thing and I didn't know what to expect. But yes - I am a horrible person who deserves to be taken out back and shot. I understand that this makes me look unreliable and I apologize- I have already apologized - but it has been done. Just because I find what you did to be extremely rude, doesn't equate to taking you out and shooting you. Sorry, I would have sucked it up and met up with everyone...I'm a big believer in following through with plans, especially when I'm the one that makes them. I get that you are differen't... And no, this meetup didn't concern me as I was not one of the ones meeting you. However, I will remember not to drive several hours to ever meet you...you might be "dog ass tired" and blow me off, too! Luckily, when i drove 6 hours to get to Beer's house she wasn't too tired to walk to the door and let me in

Tina, well noted. Thanks for the heads-up.
Cael, it's cool. Luckily I have people in my life that won't judge me as completely irresponsible or rude due to one cancellation.

Dammit - I can't edit my post. Oh well. I'm feeling even more guilty because MIL called to tell us that DS is running a fever again and that they're taking him to the ped. Meanwhile we are stuck in traffic on 95.

Meanwhile we are stuck in traffic on 95. Give him some Motrin and a cool cloth and he'll be fine. Shit happens and don't feel guilty for taken some time for yourself. Younare way too hard on yourself and one of these days I'm afraid you're gonna snap.

Well, *I'm* still alive and kicking. Malarky, however...

She is everything she said she is -- she even wore the hair boots!!! Well, separated by all 5 feet of her or so. She's fun and funny and knows her way around a Guinness -- even taught the waitress and the bartender a thing or two about the dark brew. She's also really good at figuring out how to split a check when everyone has twenty dollar bills (if only I could remember to add my share once I got change, LOL). I saw pix of her daughter -- absolutely beautiful and no doubt who her mother is. We learned that we live quite close to each other. She works at a place that I have actually been to. Unfortunately, we were just starting to discuss all of you when we, the last customers, were finally asked to leave by a really kind and patient bar staff. We'll have to continue our analysis and evaluation of each of you real soon. So, if your ears are burning some night... As for MJ, IIRC, this trip to Boston was planned last year by MJ as an effort to get her DH to travel more. He is the gamer and she was trying to show him how fun travel can be. The fact that she ended up not meeting up with us, and instead spending the evening with her DH, is absolutely understandable. I'm just glad that she was finally able to get her DH out of Jersey.

I'll post them when I figure out how to...stay tuned. ETA: Don't know what's up with all of the crappy code in my post. Virgil, we never even got to you when we were talking about other posters, so cut it out or you'll be the FIRST one we discuss the next time.

Virgil, we never even got to you when we were talking about other posters, so cut it out or you'll be the FIRST one we discuss the next time. I have to ask - did Malarky think I was drunk when I answered the phone last night? she called about half an hour into the nap I was taking before getting my butt in gear. in my half-awake haze, I was so focused on trying to figure out why my phone was ringing instead of bleeping the alarm horn that I wasn't really sure why I was actually talking to someone. sorry, Malarky I had a not-so-great night at the casino the night before, not at all related to winning or losing $, that I was all set to try and explain to y'all to help me work through it myself....and I guess my brain just decided to shut off, shut the alarm off when it finally sounded, and let me sleep everything off until I woke up around 2, or whenever it was that I posted last night. I still feel like I want to just sleep today, and put this whole weekend behind me, but I have a hockey game to play later tonight. I really hope I don't hurt someone, I might take a swing if someone looks at me sideways. good thing we're playing a team that usually puts me into that sort of mood anyway, right? anyway, good to hear that you and Malarky had a good time. I think we should all plan to meet up some time soon anyway, whether we have out-of-towners around or not. it would have been nice to meet Jen, but I can understand why she had to bail.

I'm so glad GRG and Malarky got to meet and had a nice time! GRG - good attitude about it all and I agree. However, I have to point out that it was MY generation that hung in there and the babies of the group here are wussies. But I love our wussies!

LOL, GRG and I started talking a mile a minute right away. Our waitress couldn't believe that we didn't actually "know" each other. Near the end, the waitress asked us about the message board we mentioned. We said that it was originally about money and budgeting but that it had evolved. The waitress sat right down (it was late and we were the only people left, not counting staff) and joined is talking about budgets and kids and sports and all kind of things. Honestly, if the bartender didn't want to go home we might still be there. We'll definitely be getting together again. We weren't done talking.

Sorry you couldn't make it, Jenny. I wouldn't worry about it. I'd be more worried about the the parking lot known as I95 although Saturday usually isn't as bad as Monday through Friday. Did you have fun while you were here though? That is all that matters. Also nice to read Malarky and GRG got to meet. I feel jealous. But I got my Polcari's fix for my birthday so maybe not so much. If anybody lives in the North of Boston area, besides me and Cael, we could always find a neutral area for a meetup. Maybe Peabody or Danvers or even Burlington? Enough restaurants and bars between the 3 to choke a horse. Or suck the bank account dry. Or hell, go to the beach. I have one at the end of my street. Don't particularly like the ocean but there you have it.

No harm, no foul, MJ. I wish you could have joined us, but maybe another time.
Empress, I would definitely be in for a meetup. I really liked finding out how my impressions of Chiver and GRG played out in real life.

That is awesome that GrG and Marlaky got to meet up and have fun. I love meeting people from the board and seeing how they really are in real life versus my perception of them...so far, no one has let me down

Oh my! Yay for GRG and Malarky! Ya'll have to meet up again since the place closed and you weren't done talking. The world didn't end. There can always be a next time for everyone in the area to meet. I'm going to pick on chiver and say we'll have to talk her into setting a back-up alarm the next time.

lmao....if any of the people who texted to check on me had actually called, I'd have heard the phone. it's a different ringer than the alarm. that said, I'm usually a go, go, go! person. if I crash out for the night like that, odds are I really needed to do that about a week before I actually do. I am incredibly bummed I missed out on a fun night, but I'm totally game for another night out. hockey's done in a couple weeks, so I'll get my weekends back. keep me posted!
