Well the party that was to be held at my wifes work tonight seems to have been a no show. tHE PERSON/PEOPLE THAT HAD SET IT UP NEVER SHOWED NOR CALLED. i FEEL IT'S DUE TO THE TERRIBLE TEMPS AND WINDCHILLS. iT WAS A GROUP OF sOMALIS THAT WERE TO HAVE A SET MENUE FOR THE PARTY AND THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE A BAND AND AN OFF DUTY POLICE OFFICER AT THE DOOR AS WELL. So now she will be home within an hours time. It was scheduled to start between 10 & 11 tongight and last till 2 a.m. Her boss is giving her a ride home so I can play around here for the night now. Hahahahaha! She was kind of looking forward to this party hoping to make a decent tip. But that's gone now. So my wife will be well rested for our mcasino trip Sunday now. Wooo Hoooo! Hahahaha!!
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I'm guessing that is the case - I watch the national weather last night and it's looked horrid. It was extremely cold here also - son asked me to go pick up a friend of his who was home alone for the night. Usually the 'boys' take the Gator out for a run through the woods during the night but they didn't last night - just too cold to be out if they didn't have to. I was frozen just driving the short distance to pick friend up and straight home.

LOL - your having a heat wave at 14 we're at 11 right now and not expected to get much warmer today. I've not been outside but been watching the beautiful sun until just a few minutes ago - it's snowing again now, very light though.

I think it is cold everywhere. It is currently 14 here. I was talking to my sister that lives in the panhandle of Florida and she said it was only 31 there. Hopefully this artic air cold will leave as quickly as it came!

She was looking forward to the extra tips. It was sad they did not even call to cancel etc. 5 other employees could have went home earlier if they had. Oh well. Hopefully the owner learned his lesson. I tried to tell him to get a nonrefundable deposit on this.

Well, with your nasty temperatures I can see that it might have been wise to cancel. It is rude, though, for them not to have called. I hope the restaurant can get rid of, or serve, whatever it was on the set menu. I guess it is good though, that your wife can get her rest before you go have so much awesome fun.

That's what was frustrating to Debbie. Now the owner could
have called them as well but he decided not to. Go figure.

oh dear, i wonder what happens on occasions like this. cos the restaurant owner must have already stocked up on fresh food for this party.
does the organiser of the party have to pay? or did they already pay for some deposit that will be forfeited.
i guess it's just as well that it got called off. less stress and less busyness is nice sometimes. hope you have a great time relaxing at your favourite entertainment spot!

They should have at least had the courtesy to call and cancel. That is bad business for someone to just be a no show. Glad you were able to hang out on Mylot a little longer though and that your wife will be well rested for your trip to the casino today!

I agree, that is rude and un-professional to not at least call and cancel.

I remember you mentioning this party in a discussion.
Pity in a w3ay that it was called off.
Even though the very bad weather may have been a genuine excuse,m it is good manners to ring & let the restuarant should have called. Instead people are waiting around for nothing. Bad manner really.
Still, at least your wife got the extra time off work & you didn't have to pick her up.

What will the owner of the restaurant do with the extra food he baught? Has these people paid in advance? I feel it was really rude they did not call to let your wifes boss know that they where not coming.

Hello dear Happy Grandpa Bob. So I guess that you love it when the party petered out as you can have Grandma Bob have a good rest at home without getting too excited at the party as to influence her night's sleep if I am not mistaken. hahaha. You are such a caring Grandpa to Grandma Bob. But I am sorry that Grandma Bob can not enjoy the party this time as she expects to. Anyway, I wish you to have a very sweet dream and sound sleep to have more energy tomorrow.
