Detonating Ursine
This fiasco takes things to a whole new level.
In an attempt to make my dear one happy on the anniversary of his birth, and with the collaboration of a friend, the friend and I had come up with 2 plans for a birthday celebration. Option 1: a potluck dinner at my home and watching of superhero/animated DVD's. The decision between my place and the friends place was based on only one comparison: she has the bigger kitchen for the prep of the potluck, I have the bigger living room/seating area. Not once did she mention that it would be better for her 5 month old and sticking to some sort of schedule for him if we had it at her place, and honestly it slipped my mind. Hopefully she knows that we gladly would have tried to pack people into her smaller, more cluttered, overheated place if that constraint had been mentioned. Option 2: random game night at Wright State with snacks and a "bring your own food". I sent out an email to a small group of people we were inviting, offering both options and seeking opinions. Responses received: 2, including the collaborating friend. Both were good with either idea and offered no leanings.
Doug finds that the Boonshoft is having a Dragons (and I don't mean the Dayton baseball team) exhibit, and posts details about it, and that he would like to go to this before other plans. 2 people who had not previous responded pipe in that it sounds really cool! But Doug (not the person who sent out the planning email) reads on here about how the new responder is broke, and receives a private email from the collaborator backing out of everything due to money, making it seem like no one wanted to be around, leads Doug to cancel the party, even to people who were not originally in the list.
This leads to several new people saying "You should still have your party, even though everyone is broke", and the collaborator making it sound like she had brought up the baby in the first place and that the plan had been to have it at her place the entire time.
I have disabled comments here because of how rarely I am on here and don't want a fight here. I would not be able to respond in a timely manner. I can be contacted by email. This journal's handle at gmail, or prhodes2 at woh dot rr dot com.
