If someone stands you up for a phone call one night, would you cancel a date you had planned for the next night? - Inigo Jan 28, 13:42 28
- as long as she didn't take the call during the date and chat all evenin, at this point you're loose friends hanging out so give slack -- nm - breaking self impossed silence Jan 28, 14:13
- Not only would I cancel, I would burn down her garage (or similar structure). nm - Dignan Jan 28, 13:50 10
  - is "garage (or similar structure)" a euphemism? -- nm - amanda Jan 28, 14:03 1

        "Call me back if you don't want to get burned out. I'm really looking forward to our date!" -- nm - Max Jan 28, 14:22
    - Right. I'm not a monster. nm - Dignan Jan 28, 13:54

- Nah. I'd wait to see how the date went. -- nm - Qale Jan 28, 13:46

  - if i was stood up, in person, for sure i would cancel. -- nm - Andie Jan 28, 13:46

- probably not if it was a one time thing. -- nm - Andie Jan 28, 13:43 4
  - I definitely wouldn't have seen any red flags, if she had texted saying she couldn't talk. - Inigo Jan 28, 13:46 3
    - i agree she could have easily texted and said 'sorry, something came up! will call tomorrow." - Andie Jan 28, 13:47 2
      - but maybe she's just *testing* him to see if he *would call her if she didn't call . . . -- nm - charlie Jan 28, 13:56 1
        
        well, that would suck. -- nm - Andie Jan 28, 13:58

    - Tim, did Scrye die as a magazine? -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 28, 14:49 1
      - Looks like it made it to 2009 which was a couple years after it ceased to be relevant. - Tim Jan 28, 14:55
    - So I guess I essentially opened a box of Gatecrash this weekend if you add it all up. Time to start sorting. -- nm - Qale Jan 28, 14:27

Just saw this from the BSA on my Facebook feed. Link to their media statement - Jim Jan 28, 13:24 3
- I enjoy your comment on the Boy Scouts fb page -- nm - MDH Jan 28, 14:03
- Good start, but it sounds like they will allow charters to continue the discrimination if they want -- nm - amoxy Jan 28, 13:32 1
  - Sounds like it...but taking it out of our National handbook is a good start. Of course, the comments on the Facebook message make me sick... -- nm - Jim Jan 28, 13:40
