i am one of them that was Misty's roommate that has dropped. At first it was a burden/selfish/irresponsible feeling that made me reconsider, needing to pay a credit card instead of charging on it, wanting to allow my boys to do something this summer instead of myself etc...
NOW.... it is a necessity to drop. My husbands truck is breaking down so we are needing to get him a vehicle. This will intail paying off the hot tub, trading in mine & his vechicles then getting us both vehicles worked into a price range we are used to when paying my car & the hot tub... THEN... tag & tax on top of that.... soooo... bye bye meetup. Necessity comes first in my book though... sorry

I'm so sorry you are having to drop out, I was so looking forward to meeting you and your two babies. But I completely understand, things happen that you have no control over.

Thats My Plan Bump It and I think if we add something to our Signatures?
Can we do something to post in Profiles?

Hope someone bumps the thread up tonight, because I know it has gotten buried past page 1 in the general section today.

Maybe some of us should be telling newbies about it when we welcome them to YT -- I know I have told a couple people who live in the Midwest

You are So Great You know that I can not wait to give you a hug

I too am saddened to see people dropping out. It is to a point that Lisa is taking a loss. She really has worked so hard on this and I hate seeing her have to pay even more. I understand that "things/life" happens... but we do need to figure out how we can prevent this from being a disasterous financial loss for Lisa, who has organized this out of the goodness of her heart.

yeah that.

I completely understand what you are saying... but I cannot allow my "things/life" to take an even worse hit as well. Life is what it is & I cant help it. My opinion in the loss Lisa is having is that, this is a YORKIETALK meetup, Yorkietalk should fit some of the bill instead of allowing one of its members take the beating. JMO & we are all intitled to that, last I checked anyway
I am sorry this is happening & am not, "not going" just because. I hope that Lisa can understand & appreciate my reasonings for canceling.

So, how many are currently registered?

Angi, I understand what you are saying and agree that YT could maybe help out with the loss.

I had no idea this was happening or could happen if enough people don't show up!! How many people do we have to have so Lisa doesn't incur any cost?

I for one can understand real life happens. I don't think anyone will hold anything against you.

Me too I hope no one else drops out. I know life changes sometimes, and if I had some major financial crisis all of a sudden I guess I wouldn't be able to go either...but when I signed up I made a commitment to be there and have had money saved just for the trip since I registered. I just don't like seeing people dropping out at the last minute. I hope more people will sign up and no one else will drop out. I know we'll have a great time with the people that will be there, but I'd love for more to be there. I just want this to be the big event we had all planned for it to be!
