Happy 50th Birthday

What a sad commentary of the Cocklebur/AndersonTalks membership. After all that posturing, all those commitments and all the threats of asswhoopin's, not one person showed except the two of the dedicated bloggers who were stood up completely.   Very unfortunate you two were not even considered for an e-mail ditching-out. Wyatt may not have, how was it put again, couth or Suthern manners. But surely would have contacted you to say I ain't showing ( actually we DID a week before).  Guess my courteous Yankee manners trumps that rude rebel heritage stuff.

Sorry Ladies, you surely would have enjoyed our event instead of being stood up alone.  Promise, next time  y'all come!

Wyatt, we would have liked to have attended if anyone had let either of us know.  One irony is that Noeline and I both dislike Golden Corral but agreed to attend due to wishes of the others.   I have no idea what we did to be excluded.  You can rest assured I personally will NEVER attend any function again.  It was frankly embarassing to have asked for the room, had people say they were to attend, and then no one show.  Let's be blunt - you hurt the feelings of two women who would not hurt any of you.  IBV, you should have let me know.

I do not care about football games or other reasons.  If I give you my word I will be somewhere, I will be there.  It was simply rude to have done this.

I must agree with Noe on this count.  With so many personally knowing one another here, a simple human phone call would have sufficed.  I have at least 6 bloggers phone/info and several more's e-mail. Another flaw of the electronic age, lack of personal contact

 (If I had your #, I'd call ya if I no-showed.).

I've been to the last two. As Mr. Meat Loaf sings, "Two outta three ain't bad."

"I waaaannnnt you ... I neeeeeddd you .... but there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you, now don't be sad ... 'cuz two outta three ain't bad."

Enough of that. Mrs. Tippett just fired a couple of warning shots and told me to stop singing.  That'll teach me not to make hasty judgments based on what I can see by the dashboard light. I'm sure she was packin' back then ... but I have no idea where.

Anybody have a watch handy? How long 'til the end of time?

I probably deserve to be put in the "rude" category sometimes, but as the above comment on the thread "Blog Lunch" that I posted on August 31 - almost five weeks before the Oct. 4 date - indicates, I told everybody a long time ago I wouldn't make it to the Oct. 4 luncheon, regardless of where it was held.

I checked. That was my last post on that particular thread, so nothing I said afterwards could have indicated otherwise to anybody.

I get myself in enough trouble here without being written off by the lovely and gracious Queen and Noeline for allegedly standing them up after making a date.

A friend of RINO, eh?  Surprised YOU aint also banned by association! 

Great idea, Honkeydonkey. If I wanted to meet him, will RINO be bringing you, Sexythang, Dadsgrl and a whole bunch of late-night thumbs downs to innocent posts with him, or will he be bringing only the one screen name?

Uh-ohhh, he knows the family!

Honky, if you are the stud that Rino is, we'll have to hold the women back from attacking you.   Rino was just giving all you other men a chance.  So to have a real crowd at a luncheon one of you two will have to be there.  So where are we meeting?   (I'm sorry only 2 people showed up, but I don't recall too many people saying they would be there.)
