MotoQueen  13195     |  Subject: RE: Nibbs XXIIJen, I'm sure you could do the half mary. If you are unsure of running fast enough, just sneak up near the front of the pack when you all leave. They will be going by the time of the last person to cross the starting line anyway. Depending on the size of the race that could buy you a few extra minutes.  Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. I personally would not want to do a race that large in August. Don't like the heat (says the girl in Hotlanta ) |

MotoQueen 13195 | Subject: RE: Nibbs XXII Okay, now for my rant. Baseball game last night was good. One problem. The couple that we had invited to go with us did not show. There we are sitting at home wondering when they would get there. Supposed to be at our house at 6pm. At 6:15 pm Frank calls the guy. "Hey where are you?" "On my way to the Y." "Um, we're supposed to go to the Braves game tonight." "Yeah, that's on Monday, right?" "Yeah, Today is Monday." "It is? Well, I'm going to the Y." So, needless to say we went to the game without them (Those tickets that weren't used were $52 each and we could have invited other people to join us if they weren't going to really go with us). Thing that really bugs me is this guy has now done this to us several times in the past 18 months. First time was Franks birthday. Wife shows up without hubby. Frank calls him and he is at the Y. I feel like this has happened for everything we have tried to do as couples for the last 18 months. These are people who have gone to Mexico with us 3 times for vacation so it's not like we are just trying to get to know each other as couples. I told Frank that I am done. I don't want to even try to do anything with this guy any longer. Told him he can still be friends and do lunch, etc. But the couple thing is over. Am I just being a beeatch? |

My first thought was maybe he's not just avoiding doing stuff with y'all (see also: you guys), but maybe his wife as well. He went to the Y while his wife showed up and Frank's birthday party. Then, at the Y when he and his wife were going to meet you for a game. Granted, this only two examples, but in both he's off by himself. A huge leap into assuming things I know, but it is an odd situation. Oh, and to answer your question, no you're not being a beyotch. You're justifiably frustrated. What kind of person turns down free baseball tickets anyway? It's un-American. |

| MotoQueen 13195 | Subject: RE: Nibbs XXII Thanks Bill & Bill. I agree. If you aren't going to show, then just say no. If you are avoiding your own wife (or the other guys wife ) then just say no. Don't leave the people hanging. Edited by kns57 2008-07-29 9:40 AM |

| MotoQueen 13195 | Subject: RE: Nibbs XXII Yeah, the Braves lost, but since I'm not a big fan of baseball (or football, or basketball, you get the drift) I didn't really care who won or lost. The Cardinals really played well, and the Braves just didn't. It has also been so long since I've been to a game (4 or 5 years) that I only knew one name of the Braves players. All the others I did not know. But it sure is fun to go and enjoy the whole atmosphere. We even snuck into the club deck because that was the only deck that had calzones. Being a veggie, the hotdogs and hamburgers weren't going to cut it for me and I didn't want to just eat popcorn, peanuts and stadium nachos. the club deck has a whole bunch of TV's all over so you can't miss any part of the game even if you were trying to. Even the elevators have a tv showing the game. hysterical. |

It's definitely all about the the product off the field now. They've even got big arcades and stuff where kids can go play XBox and stuff during the games. Kind of defeats the purpose, but I guess whatever sells tickets.

Yep, I think our family vacations will now revolve around going to an MLB game There is a whole play area on the 4th level. Might not have what you normally see on a playground, but lots of fun stuff for the kids to do. Also on the first level are carnival type baseball stuff for parents to spend more money on. Several areas where you can throw the baseball to see how fast you can throw the ball. So, it is a really good place to take the kids. |

I agree, sometimes you wonder why did you pay for a seat when you aren't even going to watch the game. Just go to Dave and Busters. |
