Huh. I have a fear of commitment. I'm afraid someone's going to commit me. I just made that up in my head but I am equally sure it's very old joke. The reason I'm "huh"ing is that I'm not sure this has ever happened before or even can happen: I agree with Zeek and Mavs. At the same time. Huh. oops i did it again.

Between friends it sounds like a committed activity. But, it seems a little open ended. It seems if the person couldn't make it they should call at the very least.

Okay now that we're all clear about that, MsG, what did you do? What are you trying weasel out of? Or did someone stand you up? (*gets out bapping gloves*)

actually it was me. My sibs invited us to go and I was too tired and called and said I didn't want to go. MisterG is very upset that I broke a commitment..

If there was a bunch of planning (bringing food/drinks, going somewhere, spending money, having heartfelt conversation) I can see that view.
Was the game that important?

The skies are incredibly dark here in MD - we are gonna get a Hella Thunderstorm soon...but my mood is pretty upbeat. Incredibly, my "No Smoking" stays in effect. I have stopped counting the hours smoke free. Weird, huh? I was really, really ready to quit. I just needed a mental kick in the butt to get over the emotional hurdle.
Thanks, Browncoat Friendlets!
For the first time in years, I like the way my hair smells. (And you know how I am about my hair...) I like not coughing in the morning. I like that my car doesn't smell like an ashtray.
I've had a few strong Nic fits, but nothing I haven't been able to talk myself down from. And Husband has been very supportive, smoking away from me, and keeping the carton in his truck. I am hoping my quitting will in turn help him quit.
EDIT: Kel, I love the pic of the Shatner first thing in the AM!!!

*FMF enters the thread to tick everyone off with her superiority* I quit smoking the day I got married. Never went back.......course maybe I should have kept the marlboros and quit the man.
Excellent work on the no-smokage- I bet your hair smells terrific!

Wahey, I'm back.
Seminar wasn't too bad. Didn't contribute anything since the majority of the two hours focused on the peasnatry before 1917 and all my reading was post 1917.
Now i am going to spend the weekend watching the Firefly weekend on Sci-Fi and attempt to do notes.
Great!

the word commitment
If you had been sitting around with a group of friends and one casually suggests " We should get together. You could come over the next night to watch a ball game" and you say " sure that'd be fun " Would you say you'd made a commitment to be there??

I would say yes, but it isnt a commitment written in stone, if you dont want to go you call and say - I am so sorry but I am unwell or something. Tell MrG to take a freaking chill pill!

Makes it easier on the research. Now you can speed read anything already discussed in the seminar. Have fun with FF on Sci Fi. (Wishes he had cable/sat)
ADD: Kinda figured it MSG. Not like you planned on meeting at a certain place and time, got a shirt cut for the occasion, and had your hair trimmed or anything. (Kicks the word committment across the yard. Stupid dog runs off with it and gnaws wildly at its corners.) I'm gone for a bit. Seems these kids actually need to eat so I'm off to shop.
