[Dawn]

I would like to meet people as "friends"

[Red Mule]

Wait, wait.

If anyone is interested in meeting a single "old guy," let me know when and where.

:)

[dancingqueen]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, there have been so many funny threads tonight and I have just been laughing out loud they are so funny. Remember ladies, you have to kiss a lot of toads before you meet your prince. At one time in my life I had a collection of adorable toads all with crowns that were given to me by friends. I am so glad I have met my prince.

[David_V]

Wait, wait.

If anyone is interested in meeting a single "old guy," let me know when and where.

They don't want us old guys. They want the young bucks.

[HIS_MOM]

at this point of your not in debt you have a job you have your own place your bank account isnt over drawn you havtn been to jail in the last couple years your not on drugs and you like kids. and have never had a domestic violence charge i MAY just consider you LOL

[Red Mule]

David_V,

Yah, you are right. But, who knows, maybe someone a little closer to my age willl give me a "pity date." :)

[yosemitewriter]

What do you call OLD???? I know a guy who is 89 and has a better body than most 20 year olds. Of course, he's been working at it all his life. Then I know some 20 somethings that are totally burnt out. It totally depends on the individual person. Age is, for the most part, just a number. And the state of mind and attitude toward life is a very important part of it.


Wait, wait.

[Yosemite Joy]

They don't want us old guys. They want the young bucks.

My husband is 12 years my senior. I like old guys. But you missed out.

[Kahlua Kid]

me too but we all seem to be girls LMAO

Yosemite Wolf, Messy, SheilaMae, Kim, BGW, and I occasionally go out to dance and kick up our heels - next time we do a girls night out we'll let you know so we can all meet each other!

YJ: And my hubby is 8 years my senior! (If I was ever to be single again, no young bucks for me - I would require seeing their financials and require a clear criminal record before agreeing to a date!!! :) )

[MtnBreeze]

ummmm old? I'm aged but I'm young at heart so I agree with Yosemite writer..it depends on your definition of old ;) I'm single I'd join all of you on an outing. Just let me know when :)

[kellieflan]

"Old" is about 86 and that's only because I'm "Young," I'm sure by the time I'm 86 I will have a brand new definition of "old..." My sister in law is turning seventy, I told her "that's the new fourteen!"

My husband is 7 years older than me. Men in their 40's-50's are THE BEST, I haven't tried a sixty year old yet but I plan to, in three years when my husband turns 60.

[BooBooBear]

They don't want us old guys. They want the young bucks.

Some may want the young bucks but I'm not a spring chicken anymore like some so come on you good ol' boys...show those young bucks how it's done :D

[Sierra Lady]

I have a girlfriend who is 51 and she keeps meeting or I should say people keep trying to fix her up with goobers. Nothing wrong with older men, my hubby is six years older than me.

Hey, Red Mule how old are you???

[David_V]

David_V,

Yah, you are right. But, who knows, maybe someone a little closer to my age willl give me a "pity date." :)
When I have visitors here in the evening, I point out the lights from the Chowchilla women's prison that can be seen from my place. I mention that's the only place I can get a date around here.

[Mysteefied]

My husband is 12 years my senior. I like old guys. But you missed out.


I've got you all beat, My husband is 19 years older than me, it's a perfect match! It takes men that long to catch up! LOLOLOLOL

No, but seriously, I have dated men my age, and they were a huge dissapointment.

[Sandman]

I dated girls the same age as me and I dated someone much older. I learned that age doesn't matter. The older ones can be less mature than the younger ones. So, I don't care about age... She can be 20 or she can be 40. I just want someone that is mature, without drama, trustworthy and fun to be around. I also wouldn't mind having some kids of my own.

[only1alphafemale]

I've got you all beat, My husband is 19 years older than me, it's a perfect match! It takes men that long to catch up! LOLOLOLOL

No, but seriously, I have dated men my age, and they were a huge dissapointment.

LOL, I have always dated older me too. My ex was 16 years my senior, and we got along great! ( it wasnt his age that made him my ex....lol ) My current boyfriend is 10 years my senior.
I have dated men my own age, but generally I find I have more in common with a man who's older, but the younger men can be a lot of fun though! I just tend to loose patience with a few of the antics after awhile....but then that goes for ALL men, regardless of age....:rofl:

[David_V]

I've dated younger women. Not worth the bother.

I am looking for a woman with a tractor. I'll need to see the tractor first.

[HIS_MOM]

i refuse to date a man younger then me im only 24 but still they are way immature i will date from 25-34 as of right now but thats cuz im only 24. i am tired of games drama and lying. i dont play head games i dont lie and i dont have any baby daddy drama or any other drama.

im looking for osmeone who is fun to be around has there own place so that they dont plan on living off me. has a job can pay there bills. doesnt get jealous if i talk to my male friends. as i am not a jealous person. and someone who can have fun

kids i have 3 but want more..i know crazy huh LOL i plan on one day maybe having 8

[MtnBreeze]

hmmm...I date older some but younger most of my life I guess....I never grew up hahahaha...I enjoy doing things ...so many times men older than me only want to watch Tv etc hehehe....I am better with people who enjoy the outdoors, or travel or gardening....I'm pretty spontaneous but I'm also pretty self sufficient which is scary to many men... plus I'm eccentric hahahaha....oh well..I would still enjoy singles get togethers if any of you decide to do so....and btw ..when I was 24 I did date older guys but as I got older ...age didn't matter. Pretty much still doesn't...I just like to laugh and enjoy people who have open minds :)

[intheoak]

I'm single, almost 24, and make no assumptions or judgements based on age!! I wanna go to a singles night....

[HIS_MOM]

ok so we need to get everyone together that wants to go to singles night and set up a date and time.. maybe it could be a public place or even a members house for dinner.. how about the first weekend of dec?

[intheoak]

preferably there would be alcohol available...or is this a sober singles night? LMAO

[HIS_MOM]

i guess that would be at everyones own discression as you will be driving yourself home.

[intheoak]

i guess that would be at everyones own discression as you will be driving yourself home.
LMAO I thought the point would be not to be driving your own self home...just kidding I get it.

[HIS_MOM]

[Red Mule]

I've been busy and just got caught up. Lots of chuckles!

My age is: I'm young enough for long hikes, my sailboard, XC skiing, and sailboating. I'm old enough that my body complains the next day. How does that old saying go? I'm good enough once, as I once was. :) Oh, and the Met gives me senior rates.

David V, Where did you say that prison was? Do they have visitor's signup list?

[HIS_MOM]

David V, Where did you say that prison was? Do they have visitor's signup list?

hahahah thats hilarious you know you could go to www.writeaprisoner.com and find a lovley female inmate looking for a friend

If you are planning on the first weekend in December, come to the Christmas Tree Auction on the 7th. Meeting good people for a good cause. ;)

I'm old enough to know better and young enough to do it again.

David V, Where did you say that prison was? Do they have visitor's signup list?
It's in Chowchilla. I can see two big squares of lights about 25 miles away. On a clear night I can see all the way to the Coast Range and from Merced almost to Fresno.

They might have a list... but they also have some very big women there that might not like you messing with their women.:sterb200:

[David_V]

hahahah thats hilarious you know you could go to www.writeaprisoner.com and find a lovley female inmate looking for a friend
I'll stick with the tractor woman.:D

[Red Mule]

See if she's got two tractors. <still laughing>

:)

[kellieflan]

Now, just out of curiosity, can these be garden tractors?
What if someone has a boat and no tractor? Just asking.

[HIS_MOM]

hahahhahahahahaha



why not a life sentence?

[1roscoe]

Ok so I married an old guy also. He has 11 years on me.

I just want to bump up the sugestion that was made about attending the Christmas Tree Auction. They have great food, free champagne (there's your booze), and single men do attend. This is a charity event so people who attend do seem to have jobs and are looking to give back to our community while having a bit of fun.

rolleyes:If champange is not your drink, I believe there will also be bar there.

[David_V]

Now, just out of curiosity, can these be garden tractors?

A BIG garden tractor. What I need is a front loader, box scraper, and, if possible, a back hoe.

One of those cute mini excavators would work.

[Sandman]

Hey, I got a pretty girl's phone number tonight. ;)

[dancingqueen]

You are a very lucky man, you deserve a very pretty girlfriend with a great big wonderful heart, just like yours. So pick up the phone already........

[intheoak]

Ain't that the TRUTH!!

[intheoak]

If you are planning on the first weekend in December, come to the Christmas Tree Auction on the 7th. Meeting good people for a good cause. ;)

Sounds like a great idea to me. I cannot speak for the other singles but I think it would be a blast. Where is it located? and what time?

[HIS_MOM]

maybe i will attend...

i got asked to dinner by this handsome guy last night

[monkey]

maybe i will attend...

i got asked to dinner by this handsome guy last night

WooHoo! Anyone we know?

[HIS_MOM]

WooHoo! Anyone we know?

actually a few people do know him..and i even found a babysitter for that night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!wooo hoo

[MtnBreeze]

damn I don't have a tractor large or small hahahahaha..... I'd enjoy just meeting more people from here...Dec 7 auction sounds good ..I'll have to take off work to go.... or are we going to plan a singles get together? I only need to know so as to not sign up to work.....

[BooBooBear]

My opinion is that the singles should go out to Dinner at say El Cids or something. I think the Xmas thing is going to be to chaotic, noisy, crowded and who's to say we'll all be sitting together?? It won't allow for us singles to be able to chat and get to know each other which is what the whole purpose of the Singles night should be. For those wanting to go to the Xmas thing maybe we can have an early dinner so that those who want to go do that still can.

i agree if anyone wants to do dinner how about thursday night at 6 pm????????? at el cids?

[BooBooBear]

For me Mon are always good. El Cids might be closed that day, not sure. Tue & Thu are never good. Other dates that work for me in the near future: Sat 11/29, Sun 11/30, Sat 12/13, Sun 12/14

[MtnBreeze]

I can do whatever everyone else wants except I work tuesday, thursday, sat, sun nites. I think rima said they were serving food at the christmas tree auction...so ....would be better to plan a dinner another time imo or meet up there and sit together...let's see what others want to do? I was going to go to that board game thing the other day but ended up having to work....any kind of get together would be fine with me...David? Red Mule? Dawn? IntheOak? who else expressed an interest...Matt?

[HIS_MOM]

any monday night can work with me as long as i know in advance so i can plan on getting a babysitter that night.

how about monday the 24th of november at El Cids at 6:00?

imo i dont think the christmas tree auction is a good place as it is a fundraising even for buisness and if a nunch of us are sitting there chatting and laughing it might not look good exspecially if no one is going to be bidding?????????? i think unless we each plan on bidding on something we shouldnt go. it's up to everyone else though let me know and let me know how monday sounds?

[Red Mule]

I would welcome meeting any of my new on-line friends, single or married. Give me a date and time and usually I can make it.

Re: Singles only meet. I don't want to disappoint anyone. I'm old, short, and somewhat chubby. If the group of ladies are looking for young bucks for possible hook-ups, I should pass. If it's just a meet and greet between friends who just happen to also be single, I'd be happy to come. Or, should I be so lucky and there's an older lady that might want my "number" I'll be there early. :)

Red Mule this is just a meet and great between the forums singles. i guess if anyone else wanted to come they are more then welcome too. and who says some lady wont want your number you never know who will show up!

[David_V]

Any night will work for me. I don't have to be to work until April.:D

[dancingqueen]

Don't forget the part about the tractor.

[David_V]

Don't forget the part about the tractor.
Yes. Bring the tractor and then we can talk. :D

[intheoak]

Hmmm. Mon.-Thu. I have class until at least 8:30PM so I don't think I could go unless it was a late dinner. Fri, Sat, And Sun are usually good for me. However if you guys are planning on the 24th I could go but only if it was at 8:30PM and I don't want everyone to have to go to such a late dinner...

[Red Mule]

I know there has been talk about a dinner, and I'm up for that.

But, maybe it would be easier if we just met for coffee and conversation at a local coffee house. I'd say at Yosemite Coffee, but I don't know if it's still open for just coffee. There's Claybors, or Cool Bean, or whatever it's called now. Or where ever...

Since different schedules might not match up for everyone, we could even do it on more than one night and we could go to more than one if it worked out.

Just a thought...

[Red Mule]

Almost forgot. :)

A place that serves alcohol works for me too.

[Sandman]

You know, I'm pretty content being single. :cool:

I really do not need a relationship in order to be happy.

I'm sure that will change when I meet the right one, though.

[intheoak]

You know I feel that same way now too. I used to think I wouldn't feel as though my life was complete unless I had that somoeone special to share it with, I ended up feeling lonely, and all too often sorry for myself. I think it was in August after I enrolled in community college, when I finally started to feel good about myself agian, and realized you have to happy with yourself to be happy with anyone else. SO now I'm happy and single. Who would of thunk it? :grin:

[Sandman]

I'd rather be happy and single than be unhappy in a relationship... that's for damn sure. :yes:

[yosemitewriter]

That's why we all have cats :-))

Mon 11/24 works for me...is El Cid open on Mondays?

[BooBooBear]

I'm sure that will change when I meet the right one, though.

Ditto!! I think I'm probably to set in my ways now anyway :p

[HIS_MOM]

i liek being single but this wasnt a meeting for an instant relationship it was just to see what else was available in oakhurst. it wasnt for anyone to find love or romance...maybe even just a friend to hang out with...after my last relationship i dont think i ever want a "relationship" or "live-in relationship" anyways. guys are drama i am learning that real fast...even when your single there still drama...

[Sandman]

I think El Cid is open 7 days a week.

When I do get a girlfriend, Hunter is gonna have a problem. She sleeps with me at night. A friend spent the night in my guest bed. She asked me if I'd lay next to her until she fell asleep. Hunter did not like that one bit. I had to lock her in the other room. :lol:

[Red Mule]

Yes, being single is just fine with me too.

In years past, I worked for a large company and hung out at the local watering hole. There were always friends to joke with or go see an event with. It didn't matter age, sex, weight, etc. They were just my friends. And occasionally two people would realize they had something else going on and they could go off and do it. It was all good.

Now days, things seem have changed. Maybe it's me and maybe it's where I now live. But, I no longer want to spend the evening in a bar and still drive home. Nor do I want that next day, "why did I do that last night?" feeling. There are few other, if any, places in Oakhurst to meet and talk to new people. People tend to avoid talking to strangers in most situations. You all know this.

I'm not looking for the next love of my life. But, a circle of friends is hard to beat. That's what makes this forum so nice. If we can translate it to face to face, thats great too.

[Sandman]

Drama sucks. I have been doing my best to avoid it as much as possible lately. It's usually created by people that are bored with their own life so they have to create drama for others.

When there is drama, I am learning to not let it bug me, not to participate, I step away... I am learning the hard way. I have had some friends that are full of drama on a day to day basis. I'm sure they are dealing with drama right now.
:leaving:

As far as El Cids goes, I'm definitely cool with meeting new people and it sounds fun.

[Sandman]

But, I no longer want to spend the evening in a bar and still drive home. Nor do I want that next day, "why did I do that last night?" feeling.

I agree 100%. I don't go to the local bar anymore. The last time I went there I was cornered in the bathroom and threatened by an ex's new boyfriend. Apparently he fealt threatened by me and wanted to make sure I wasn't going to talk to his lady. And you know what? I have been having more fun since I stopped going to the bar. I have hung out with some great people lately.. .and friends I had not seen in ages. It's a nice change.

[MtnBreeze]

Monday works for me......and I too am just looking for friends...I seldom have anyone to do anything with so meeting others who would like to share some experiences is great :) Dinner or coffee house or whatever is fine with me too.....coffee houses all close early tho....the Cool Bean at 5 or 6 I think and the other at 2...:/ El Cid's sounds fine ...(wonders if they serve veggie tacos LOL) actually I do eat meat sometimes so no problem anyway....and Red Mule I'm no spring chicken plus I'm overweight so don't be putting yourself down hehehehe....I think meeting others is fun and who knows we may form some friendships where we will have companions for either nites out, exploring, travel or hiking or something :)

[kellieflan]

You know all us happily married people are snooping on your singles thread, and I have to tell you, this lady is getting a little envious of all the camaraderie. I'm thinking you may need a supervisor! Dang! You know how hard it is for a married person to get a date around here (with her own spouse, I mean)? Where do we go to dance? Up close?

[HIS_MOM]

drama sucks big time exspecially when your not out looking for it and it just comes knocking on your door. i hate small town people talk and then other people twist it up.. its like that game operator we used to play when we were younger the story never came out the same..

i love being single.. i hate sharing my bed. i dont like waking up next to someoene who has morning breath and i cant stand being touched when i am asleep.i hate being told what i am making for dinner and at what specific time. and i dont like answering to anyone..I GUESS I WAS MADE TO BE SINGLE!!!!!!! unless i can find someone with my same dislikes LOL

i dont see any change in the future.. my ex made me this way LOL

kellie, lets just get a dj and we can all dance together!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sandman]

:lol: I agree with most of that HM.

As far as the "cant stand being touched when i am asleep". That's one thing I actually miss when I sleep by myself. I like to wrap a woman up in my arms and fall asleep together, then wake up wrapped in her arms. Or visa versa :) I have been told that I am a good cuddler.

My husband won't dance with me. :(
He doesn't know the hippy hippy shake.
But he survived some concerts with me, while I danced and he stood there.

I was actually thinking that most of the married people that post on this forum speak very lovingly about their spouses. But this is probably the wrong thread to have said that on.

Nah, any thread is good for that. I was just kidding around earlier. And yes, we have a lot of very happily married people on this site. Maybe I'll be one of them one day. :lol:

[yosemitewriter]

I wouldn't mind a few 24-hour relationships :-))

[MtnBreeze]

Hahahahahaha! Freinds with fringe? Lmao...well are we doing this Monday or?

[yosemitewriter]

Friends with benefits would be cool. Friends with 'fringe' might look really funny. Remember Cousin It from the Adams Family?????


Hahahahahaha! Freinds with fringe? Lmao...well are we doing this Monday or?

[MtnBreeze]

uh I just didn't add benefits ;) I think most of us like benefits hahahaha....but I enjoy your sense of humor :)
Mostly I was trying to see if we have confirmed Mon 24th at El Cid?

Thinks you should just show up and join us :)

[BooBooBear]

I'll be there. Monday, 6pm @ El Cids right?

Maybe we should get a red balloon to put on the table so when people arrive they know where to go. Do we have a head count yet?

[MtnBreeze]

Not sure about head count...seems a few said they wanted to go.....red balloon is a good idea...keeps us all from looking stupid wondering if anyone is there yet hahahahahahaha. I'm going to be there...are you bringing balloon then or?? I'll help pay for it :)

I can bring the balloon if you'd like. I think it's only a buck so no big deal

[HIS_MOM]

i will be there too.. el cids at 6 oclock its a date.. so far are we all women going??????????

[Red Mule]

I have a standing Monday Night appointment. But, I'm going to try and make el cids at 6.

[MtnBreeze]

That would be great :)

[Red Mule]

Just a few words on our forum’s “singles night.” And, I’m sure I am speaking for more than just myself. I’m perfectly happy being single right now. In fact, it’s much more preferable than many partnership options I see or have been in. That’s not to disparage those relationships that so many people enjoy and are happy in.

I have recently started making excuses to avoid groups because it seems like I am always the only single there. All the other singles stayed home with a good book or just decided to wash their hair. What's bad with that is every conversation I have is with a couple and seldom a person.

You could be a 20-something girl or a 70-something man that enjoys conversation and laughs, and I’ll be happy to do both with you. I almost found myself trying to generate excuses why I couldn’t come to this dinner. Although, watching Monday Night Football with family is real.

I’d still like to find a coffee house open evenings, a theater with intermission, chess club, or basket weaving (well, maybe not basket weaving) class that I could show up for unannounced that included couples AND a fair number of singles. You would think there would be a profitable business for someone to provide this, but maybe not.

Should I show up Monday, please don’t think I’m there trolling for a mate. I’m not! Nor, I’m sure, are most of you. See you there. (maybe…) J

I used to go to a coffee house in Oakland called "The Bishop." I had many a great conversation there and many backgammon games. I'd love to have a place like that somewhere around here. I'm not into the noisy bar scene, nor would I want to "pick up" a woman that is. While I do have a nice, small, wine collection, I'm not into booze or drugs.

I'd start such a business, but I don't have the cash. A real coffee house, not a yuppie barista hangout, might do alright. There are 3 groups it would have to serve; during the day the housewives wanting a break, then in the late afternoon the teens getting out of school, and then in the evening the adults wanting a place of intellectual stimulation to hang out.

if I show up, I won't be "trolling" either..... unless she brings a tractor. :D

[Red Mule]

Not to get too far off the Singles topic, but...

When I was in college, I remember always hanging out in coffee houses. Then I "graduated" to bars. That was NOT a good change, either in people or in results. At the coffee houses we had backgammon, chess, and conversation was big. Sometimes, even a little evening entertainment as long as it wasn't so loud people couldn't still talk. I met many good friends there. Anyone remember DePit?

I think that's where Yosemite Coffee lost it. It just got so loud that all you did was talk real fast between ear bleeding sets. Maybe an existing coffee house will see this and try providing us with an evening "hot spot." Hey, how much would it cost an already operating biz to try it out for a couple of weeks.

Shucks, as soon as I get my biz sold, I might volunteer to work there a couple of nights a week real cheap.

[MtnBreeze]

I wanted to buy the Grind before it got sold to present owners but had trouble getting financing (mostly because I didn't have much cash plus the then owner would never present me with books so I could present the option to the bank for a loan)....I sooooooo agree that we need a good "hangout" that doesn't involve booze and loud music...I mean u could do that occasionally but a coffee house that stays open on like thursday, friday, saturday nites at least....one with books (like DePit used to have)...one where people could have card games etc...one where local clubs could meet ( I mean special interest clubs or card and game clubs) One where people can socialize w/o the loud music etc.....today I really would like a good but simple raw foods place plus!!! LOL...with all the above but good organic and healthy food offerings as well (even shade grown coffee) :). And Red Mule you should most definitely join us on Monday...I think most of us have the same idea...just kinda get to know other singles in the area....I spend alot of time online due to lack of single friends also...most of my friends are married and I do enjoy them but I understand what you said above.

well...they would need to do it more than couple weeks here LOL.....it takes this town a while to get with the program so to speak...and sadly the economy is not conducive to "starting" much of anything right now it seems.....maybe I will talk to Grind and see if I'm willing to try it if they would try it....hahahaha...don't hold me to this right now....but I might ;)

[intheoak]

Unfortunaltly I will be un-able to attend on Monday. I have class until 8:30PM, and I am sure you will all have dispersed by then. I hope everyone has an awesome time and hopefully I will be able to come if you decide to have another SINGLES NIGHT!!

David V- I sure hope you find your lady with the tractor!!

[MtnBreeze]

I'm sure we can do more of this.....and it isn't really only limited to singles....anyone is welcome :)

[intheoak]

:lol: I agree with most of that HM.

As far as the "cant stand being touched when i am asleep". That's one thing I actually miss when I sleep by myself. I like to wrap a woman up in my arms and fall asleep together, then wake up wrapped in her arms. Or visa versa :) I have been told that I am a good cuddler.

I gotta admitt this is one thing that I hate about being single. I love to fall asleep with someones arms around me!!!

[Sandman]

I have also been told that I am a human heater and radiate heat while I am sleeping. So on those cold nights, I'm a good person to have sleeping next to you. :)

[kellieflan]

I sooooooo agree that we need a good "hangout" that doesn't involve booze and loud music...

What about the Queen's Inn beer garden? I have heard from friends that it's a nice place to hang out (they have wine and soft drinks, etc., too)? Anybody been there? I think that's the name.

[MtnBreeze]

My daughter says it is very nice....we might have to try it on another time... good idea Kellie :)

[intheoak]

The Queen's Inn has a beer garden? At the risk of souding very uninformed and rather dull...what all does a beer garden entail?:grin:

[kellieflan]

In answer to your question, Intheoak, I have created a new thread entitled "Queen's Inn Wine and Beer Garden," with the website and some information provided by the establishment. Looks like fun! HUGE selection of beers!

[1roscoe]

While I am not single, I have had heard wonderful things about the Queens Inn. I am very sorry I missed the wine tasting they had last Saturday.

Yes I too also miss DePit. It was a great place to go when you were feeling low.

Thanks. I really need that tractor. I have a lot of dirt to move around and a lot of llama poop to pile up.

Those brats... they wait until I'm finished cleaning up a spot and then bypass all their favorite poop piles just to poop on the one I just cleaned up.

[HIS_MOM]

ok just to give everyone a heads up...

i know i am the one that set this all up but i most likley will not be able to attend monday nights meeting. my babysitter backed out on me and i am not gonna be able to find one in time on a school night. i hope you all have a good time. so sorry

[Red Mule]

Too bad, His Mom.
I was looking forward to saying, "Hi."

[HIS_MOM]

me too red mule but we will definatley all have to do it again.. maybe like a friday night at 8:00 at elcids fridays are easy to find a babysitter LOL.

[dancingqueen]

I think we forget that one of the hardest part of good parenting is finding a good baby sitter. Just when you get them all trained they either get their licence to drive or start to date. But week nights are usually out of the question unless you know the parents and they allow them to spend the night. Good luck in finding good sitters to all of you with children.

[dorseygirl]

I can't wait for my 10 year old to get older for her to babysit - what a great experience. I babysat A LOT when I was in junior high and high school, I had a couple of families that were exclusive and now the babysitters make way more money then I use to.

[MtnBreeze]

Looking forward to meeting anyone who comes tonite :) Just fyi I'm going to start a new thread called "get togethers" because when some of us had lunch the other day we discussed the fact that the heading of that was 3rd wedenesday lunch and it wasn't the 3rd wed LOL...so I figure we can have one for get togethers so all of us have a chance to attend when we want or can....hopefully people will post there for any get togethers :)

[BooBooBear]

I unfortunately won't be able to come tonight either. One of my fur-babies had a seizure last night and until we get to the vet to find out what might be causing this on Wednesday I'm keeping a close eye on her and keeping her quiet. Lucky for me I can take her to work with me.

[Red Mule]

As fast as everyone is bailing out, maybe another place or time would be better?

[Sandman]

Sorry to say, but this is how it usually happens. Everyone is excited to meet one another, then everyone backs out. :lol:

[MtnBreeze]

As fast as everyone is bailing out, maybe another place or time would be better?

Well I'm not sure David will get the msg so I'm going to be there...no balloon tho unless I go get one from Pizza hahaha....I will still go so anyone planning to go won't be left in the lurch....I think I will wait outside tho in case none of you show. (oh heck I'll get a balloon just in case )

[MtnBreeze]

Only 4 of us showed up for lunch the other day..it was still good company :)

[Red Mule]

Maybe rather than trying to plan a big dinner type event someone should do something as follows: (Just an example)
~~~~~~~~~~
Hey folks, I going to be at Ceasar's eating cheap pizza tomorrow night at 6pm. Anyone that wants to can join me. I'll be the guy wearing a red shirt. If I'm by myself, I'll probably be reading a book, so just sit down and say HI!

If nobody shows up, no harm - no foul. I'll still get to get some reading in and eat some cheap pizza.
~~~~~~~~~~

That way nobody has to commit to anything. You know how single people are about committments! :)

[Sandman]

:yes: I know this very well. :yes:

When she is worth making a commitment to, I'll commit. :lol:

[kellieflan]

NOW who am I going to live vicariously through?

[intheoak]

I would not like you guys to think I "backed out" it's just that weekdays don't work too well for me. I have class until at least 8:30 and a little one in Elementary school...Friday or Saturdays work the best for me...I think we should plan another Singles Night in Jan... after all the holiday hubaloo...maybe planning on it this far in advance would mean more poeple will be able to attend...I like El Cid's too...just a thought. Oh and by the way...NOT being in a commitment doesn't mean you CAN'T commit...
