very very upset!

I am really upset about the Maryland gathering that was set for this morning at Hard Rock Cafe. I changed my entire morning and day schedule around just so I could make it down there this morning I was supposed to go bridal shopping with my sis who is getting married. I rushed my gym work out this morning then rushed getting ready. Go down town in the traffic and paid for parking then waited and waited and NO BODY showed up that said they would be there. Another friend of mine from OH showed up and this was her 2nd time that she has been stood up from Maryland board plans. It's just very disappointing that I change things around and look forward to meeting new people that are going through the same things and then get stood up. If it was canceled then something should have been posted last night or this morning or even call the front desk and tell the people working there "if anyone shows up from OH for the gathering to let them know it has been canceled" Just something to give people a fair chance to find out that it has been canceled or no one plans to come.

Shannon I am so sorry no one showed up!! I was not coming but I this doesnt happen. Jilly always follows through on her plans and I know she was sick this morning and at the doctors. I hope this does not keep you from coming to another gathering.

Thanks honey (((Hugs))) Mike did email everyone else atleast he said he did but only one of them responded back that they were not going so he thought the others would be there. What a mess ;o(
And ofcoarse I am the one that is going to feel bad because I am the one that set it all up but I could not even see this morning let alone breathe............it was so scary. Had it have been a cold or flu symptoms or something mild I would have still went.........you know me. (((Hugs)))

I totally agree sister...... Its a shame that people make plans and dnt say a thing about it been cancel...I'm done wit the gatherings it dnt take me 3 strikes to get the point. I just hope for other people that see these plans on here to check a hr b4 time to make sure its still on...gl

Hi sweetie. I sent you a PM earlier. I actually am upset myself because my husband was GOING TO CANCEL THE EVENT this morning at 8:30am BUT he emailed and text some of the people going and only ONE person said they were NOT going to come if I wasnt there. Everyone else was still set to go so he did NOT cancel it. I was in a very bad situation. My airway was 85% closed and I was covered in HIVES and had no idea what was going on I thought I had chicken pox. When I got to the ER I realized I was having a severe allergic reaction to God knows what...............................................but I could have died. My eyes were swollen the size of apples and it was so scary!! I never miss a gathering especially one of my very OWN!! And the last time a few people were going to be absent from a gathering and I thought it was the right thing to postpone many got upset with me saying it was NOT FAIR to cancel an event just because a few did not show up. So even though 4 people were unavailable the rest of us went to dinner that night instead of canceling. My first thought this morning when I saw how bad my situation was......was to get Mike on OH to cancel ASAP! But he again did NOT because severeal people made it sound as if they would be there and he thought it would be better to let them still have a good time despite us not able to make it. So when I was at the ER I assumed everyone was there and having a good time. That is what I wanted. I had no idea until well after 2pm that most of them text Mike saying they never even went. That really really REALLY upset me because I knew you were there and Christie with her son. That angers me because if those same people would have just said they changed their plans Mike could have canceled. Im just frazzled at the entire situation and I am sincerley sorry. (((Hugs)))

I am so sorry that this happened. I am sure it was not done on purpose. Jilly does not operate like that. Jilly I hope you are feeling better. There are all adults here and for the future maybe you can delegate a second person who can get the updated info out. Sorry to all of you who made arrangements and changed plans for the event. I realize that sometime things occur that are beyond our control such as medical emergencies, family issues and lord know kids issues. I hope that all involved can be understanding and give it another chance. Jilly, I hope you are feeling better and don't stress over this. You take care of you girlfriend. That is whats important...

Thanks Jules (((Hugs))) I am truly upset over this.....Wes was going to go for me and I told him no because Mike sent an email and it seemed as if only one was not going to be able to make it. He didnt get other text of those unavailable until 2pm and thereafter this afternoon. So we truly thought people were there. We didnt know they all read that email and decided not to show up. If I would have know that we would have had one of those people post it on OH for me. Mike could not do that on his phone anyway but he would have ask someone else to had he known. He sent the email out at 8:30am. So I am really upset over this. I feel so so bad for Shannon and her family and just as bad for Christie and Andy (Whom I adore) because they too were there looking for me. It just makes me sad. But girl you are so right I felt like I had a COLD last night but a cold would not have stopped me.........I had no idea I was suffering an allergic reaction. I would have never known if my eyes didnt swell like they did. Thank  God for that or I would have just said I AM OKAY and I would have been way way worse off then I already was today.

Jilly,

You have nothing to feel bad about, maybe I am guilty of putting myself and my family first, but I didn't find out 'till late last night the girls were promised that I would take them swimming Sunday during a two hr block of "family swim" at the health club. Kids can't just go in anytime, it has to be during the "family swim" which is from 1-3 Sunday, this blew my whole week end schedule out of the water. So I guess I am guilty of putting me and my family first, But I have to protect myself from getting stuck with the repair bill,, or worse, years of raised rates for going through my insurance. I got royally screwed last year when I got taken out by a MTA bus, and hiring the wrong lawyer, so I cannot afford to make the same mistake twice. Well I have to stop here, I'm getting PO'ed and rambling. YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEEL BAD OR RESPONSIBLE FOR, MIKE DID SEND A MESSAGE, I GOT IT.

Tom

Oh honey he knew early this morning you were not going and he appreciated that you did  take the time to email him. He knew you would not be there so thank you for letting him know. Others didnt let him know until after 2pm and it hurt my feelings that all of this was out of my control. (((Hugs))) Im sorry you had a rough morning honey!!!  Your family always comes first!!!!!
