Okay okay I stand corrected  HOWEVER let me add that you guys weren't near as funny until I got you all going............. and your blood moving....

[Gracy]

You missed my point. I wasn't referencing the camp outs you'd been on; I was talking about all the ones you said you wanted to go on but didn't sign up for or you signed up for them and then cancelled.  :p

Okay now this has just gone from funny to wait just a second...........am I one of one who has canceled a spot?  Have I not given enough time for others to take our spot when I've had to cancel?  Isn't that why there are waiting lists?  Whats the real deal behind your comment here?

There is no "real deal" behind my comments. I wasn't criticising you or accusing you of any of those things. I was simply teasing you b/c in the year you've been here, you seem to have a habit that whenever a new rally is posted, you express huge excitement in wanting to go, ask a bunch of questions about it, and then either sign up and end up cancelling or say you can't go after all. I'm not a meanspirited person, and I thought that since you had basically called us unfunny and old, you could take a little rabble rousing back. I'm sorry to have misjudged you. I meant no offense and I promise I'll be more careful how I respond to your posts in the future.

Memory serves me that the last snide comment like this alluded that I post to much for not being a member that long (though that was not from you Lori)...... so of course after that I backed off and have honestly tried to be careful what questions I ask and the frequency of them.  With that being said, you can't possibly think your friends here in this group would read what you just wrote to me and think that was being very welcoming, do you?  I mean I know you are a moderator and co-founder of this group but honestly where does it say you have to limit your questions and excitement about a rally?  I ask again, have I not allowed enough time when I have had to pull out of a rally so there was enough time for another person to take our spot?  Please point to when I have done so and I will apologize to the entire group.

Truth be told, I have a young family, my youngest is only 2 1/2.  I have a tight budget.  I want to camp more then DH does.  I get excited about wanting to camp and yes it doesn't always pan out for us.  I've been very careful as to not mislead or should I say TRIED to be careful and rather just ask questions to make sure it fits us before we commit.  If we have to cancel I give proper advance notice, people are never waiting around for me to make my decision.  I'm sorry you take offense to my adding in humerus remarks with the rest of the group.... its clear we don't exactly "fit" in here and I am sorry you feel so strongly that you have to roast me like this in front of everyone.

"It's a joke son......it's only a joke..."

With that being said, you can't possibly think your friends here in this group would read what you just wrote to me and think that was being very welcoming, do you? I mean I know you are a moderator and co-founder of this group but honestly where does it say you have to limit your questions and excitement about a rally? I ask again, have I not allowed enough time when I have had to pull out of a rally so there was enough time for another person to take our spot?

Again, the meaning of my post apparently wasn't clear.
 
To reiterate, I wasn' criticizing you for your excitement about posted rallies. I actually find it very refreshing. I thought I had also made it clear that I wasn't accusing you of pulling out of rallies and not giving enough lead time so that someone could take your place. You have never done that and I never said that you did. I understand and empathize with the scheduling and financial difficulties that come with raising a family. You don't need to apologize to the group for anything.
 
I didn't take offense to your joke; I tried to joke back instead and apparently my comments were misconstrued. I didn't say or imply that you don't "fit in" here, nor have I roasted you in front of everyone. I tried to offer the olive branch on my previous post (#53) so that you and I could get past what I still see as nothing more than an innocent misunderstanding.
 
If you're still unhappy with me or this post, please feel free to PM me so that that we can at least elimnate the public aspect of whatever this disagreement may be.
 
Edited to add: If you're satisfied with this explanation, let's just call it a day, let it all go, and go back to camping and having fun with one another.

Is it April yet and where are we going and Gracy Jim and I hope where ever it is you and your family will join us we do enjoy having fun and yes we do joke and maybe sometimes go over board.  I do hope I haven't said anything to make you feel un-wanted as a SCCamper.  As one of the older members this young group has always made us feel welcome and part of the group and by all this kidding around with you I always felt everyone thought of you as part of the group. Anyway lets start over.....[SIZE="5"][COLOR="Purple"]Welcome Gracy[/COLOR][/SIZE] and hope to see you around the fire sometime soon....:W

[Gracy]

Look... my joke was in general... it didn't point out any one person or situation.... I was helping a newbie to understand the joke about the "dues" since it was obvious they had some confusion about it and were trying to figure this all out.  I knew when they asked it was just going to make the rest of the group joke about it even more so I in turn, since I am still relatively new to the group decided that with the joking going on I should help them better understand this groups brand of humor about it.... of which I'm sure they have ran for the hills at this point  (hahahahaha)

Your joke Lori was pointed directly at me and pointed out something you saw in me that obviously irritated you enough to say it or tease me about it.  Thats all I'm sayin and I'm sorry I lashed back so quickly about it.......it just struck me as having a very personal overtone.  

Anyway as far as I'm concerned I'm sorry this got away from topic....... back to the matter at hand....... where is this April camp out taking place?  Can you have tents?  How about the pet policy?  Whats the weather going to be like?    How about a pool, WI-FI, rec-room or playground?  Are there showers?  Are they paid showers or free showers?  How about the toilets... do they have enough to accommodate this group?

:sombraro:  Happy Sunday!
