Kilt Boy 29353 Report post Posted May 7, 2017 I'm just finishing up a craft show in an agricultural hall in a small town. Unheated. It snowed. I'm in a kilt and tee shirt and am doing fine, but everyone else is losing their minds. I may be the only truly Canadian one here. Selling a bunch, though. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest st*****ens**ors Report post Posted May 10, 2017 I had scheduled a rare visit with someone lovely this evening, but a five hour meeting stretched to eight, and to make matters worse I was on camera throughout, and couldn't slip away to text. We hadn't confirmed a time, but I know she was expecting me sometime in the evening, and by the time I was free to cancel and apologize (profusely) it was nearly supper. She was very gracious, but I still felt badly to cancel. I never have before. Plus I missed seeing her :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emiafish 30979 Report post Posted May 10, 2017 How about sending a sexy text message to a Lyla lady friend only to realize too late that I actually sent it to a Managing Director at my firm. Imagine me explaining a lunch time trip to the pot shop was actually to the Pottery Playground in Stittsville, cause I love painting custom crockery in my spare time. I told him the message was meant for my wife. I can't wait till I see him again in the office. Yikes! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nntsci 11076 Report post Posted May 15, 2017 My wife was out of the house all day with her Mother... and her daughter... and planned to stay over with her mom. So I thought I'd have some fun. Yes on Mother's day... Anyway, I know this fabulous Asian lady who I've seen 5 times before. I contacted yesterday and she was excited about the idea of getting together. I told her I'd confirm it in the afternoon and did so at 12pm and we arranged to meet at 6, and I booked a hotel. Well at 4:30 as I was getting ready to go and see her, she texted me she had to see her mother (it being mothers day) but would join me at 10 and stay over... I quickly replied that 10 was too late and I couldn't do an over night because I have to work in the morning and asks if she can she see me earlier. Apparently she didn't get my response because her battery died. I think she had forgotten it was mothers day until her sister showed up and told her the family plans. I didn't hear from her again until 8 at which time she said she can see me at 9, but by that point it was too late. For 2 reasons... Its an hours drive to the hotel... and meanwhile my wife texted me and said she's not staying over at her mother anyway, and will be home around 9, ruling out forgoing sleep and visiting the lady anyway. And so the hotel room never got used (and was non-refundable). Anyway the lady apologised profusely for misunderstanding about the over night. She assumed that because my wife was sleeping over with her mom, we could spend the night together... I did correct her but I don't think she reads too carefully (may also be some language issues)... add to that apparently her cell phone battery died while she was out with her mother, which was why she didn't get back to me until 8. She's a sweet lady and has promised to make it up to me... but no specifics were given. Anyway, overall its been a very very disappointing day... one more disappointment is that my wife who had said she would be home at 9... is still not home... at 10; with my luck she'll get home at midnight... meaning that I could have seen the lady and got back in time... Anyway, it probably serves me right for trying to cheat on the mother of my children, on mother's day. LOL She got back at 10:30. Funny... I just found out my wife thought I wanted her home tonight... that's why she came home... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest n*gu**6 Report post Posted May 15, 2017 When you send someone a text message and certain ones get ignored. You can be having a fine exchange and you may send one suggesting something and it will be totally ignored. Yet they will reply with some obtuse question or completely unrelated statement. Or worse they just suddenly clam up and say nothing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest n*gu**6 Report post Posted May 22, 2017 The sound of silence... and not the song.... I always find it frustrating how sometimes when people are having a difficult time, when they need some support the most, is when they close up the most.... It always reminds me of the line in the movie "A Bridge Too Far" "Is something bothering you......" "I have said nothing..." "Yes... your silence is ethunderous..."

Kilt Boy 29353 Report post Posted May 23, 2017 I'm the Emergency officer in my building in the same power outage, so badgered by people for information I couldn't possibly have. Traffic is a nightmare, busses are insane. I'll just wait in my cozy little workspace for another hour and hope things have improved. This is one of the reasons I keep liquor in my office. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
