For your information, people, it had nothing to do with weatherboi's post...that was a simple miscommunication.

And further for your information...may I remind you all that my father just had a triple bypass not two weeks ago? So why did was a bunch of freaking drama and assumptions automatically drummed up because we simply said we were not attending? Why didn't anyone wonder if something came up with my dad's convalescence and maybe my parents need me instead?

This is exactly the kind of bullshit that caused me to stop posting on the dash site.

Mrs. Strutt,

Your announcement was sudden and no explanation was offered. Under such circumstances, of course people are going to wonder and look for a cause-and-effect in the realm in which it occurred. That is human nature. You had quite a few people planning on coming from out of town for the get-together. Did you not feel that any explanation at all was due? Even a simple, "it's a family/personal issue", would have sufficed and all this could have been avoided.

You say that people shouldn't conjecture, but yet you scold others for not considering it may have to do with a surgery your dad had 2 weeks ago. Would that not also be making an assumption? Regardless, I hope your father's convalescence goes well. My father had the same procedure a few years ago and did very well. I hope yours does, too.
