Thanks for all your anniversary wishes and compliments!! On a side note, we just went to Mr.'s cousin's wedding yesterday and our 11-year-old daughter just surprised us by getting the M.C. to let her stand up during the dinner and make a speech. She wanted to wish us a happy anniversary and the new couple a good wedding day, and hoped that the kind of love that her parents have is the kind of love that they will have too. Wow. I don't think there was a dry eye in the house. I was so proud of her! We were very touched.

Anyway, back to the issue at hand. I'm glad to hear that we were being realistic. It's true; the guy might've been legitimately late, but when someone is an hour and fifty minutes late, the least one should expect is an apology! There was none. AND I expect a pretty good damn excuse. Traffic just won't cut it. I understand that traffic can cause up to about an hour delay, but it's after 10 pm on a Saturday night...not exactly rush hour...and we were watching the traffic reports on the lounge TV! There was nothing about congested traffic in the area he was supposedly in. We figured he was buying himself time. When he said he was just getting in the shower, he was likely just leaving his soccer game, and when he was actually just getting in the shower is likely when he said he was 10 minutes away in Scarborough.

We spent over two hundred bucks this weekend that we didn't really need to spend (we would've had just as good a time at home), and because of Mr.'s work schedule, we only two weekends a month off together. Our liesure time is very valuable to us! It really pissed us off when it was wasted waiting for someone who had absolutely no respect for that. Well, lesson learned. We'll be changing our profiles on the two or three sites that we're on to reflect that our time is precious, and if you feel you can't manage your time within about 1/2 an hour, don't bother contacting us. The only way this guy's behaviour could've been excused is if he showed up in the back of an ambulance, or was shouting into the cell phone over the sound of the jaws-of-life cutting him out of his mangled car. Ok, that's a bit extreme. But really, would HE have waited around that long? From the sound of it, his own time was his priority, so likely not.

Thanks for all your posts!!
