Full Version: Would You Come To Us For Dinner?
If we had a H.com dinner - men, women (and well-behaved babies) invited, would you come join us?

.What a nice and thoughtful invitation. Unfortunately, I'm too far away but I really appreciate the offer.
[that said, my mom is in Cedarhust tonight. Can I tell her she can come to you guys tomorrow?*]
*I'm kidding. I think she's coming back tomorrow morning. And she's not a member of h.com.

.Hi. I'd love to come. Its really nice of you to think of such a thing. At this point any night is fine. Weekends are probably best though. And I have an empty car so I can bring 4 people from Brooklyn (Flatbush/Boro Park.)
If that comes with a free ticket (to T.O too) I'm more then happy to come.

I'm waiting for posters to find something about this invite to bash...really tried hard to word everything in the best way possible.
BTW, if people are uncomforable posting, they can also PM us.
Really, Far Rockaway is not as Far as y'all might think and the food will be free! Plus you have a chance to tell Silent J just what you think of him and the site, up close and personal!
what a great idea! You guys are awesome.
I think Motzai Shabbos or Sunday would be best, since people have different work/school hours during the week.

Maybe someone will be insulted that only well-behaved babies are invited? Discriminating against difficult babies.

Yeah, I noticed that one, but people are understanding and I can't imagine anyone bashing you for that I think anyone would take that as it was likely meant, as a tongue in cheek jest. And anyway, everybody's own baby is always the most perfect shayna berachah.
Again, I think the invitation is sweet and really nice, and I just feel badly that I can't join you.

I would in theory.... Provided of course that the "well behaved babies" won't be breastfeeding in public.......

This isn't at your place is it? The one with the table with exactly 4 place settings?
Hey, I found something to bash! If you're having trouble making ends meet (or anticipate having trouble in the future CH"V) don't throw dinner parties for semi-strangers.

Yep - we're going to take turns sitting
. Or, if we really get a crowd, move out the couches and put in the other table. But it's probably going to be somewhat tight.Good point about not being able to afford this...maybe we should charge people?

Let's put it this way.
We're all friends here (I hope), and we have a mutual understanding.
Anyone who expects you to host an entire internet-board load of people is really...uh...unusual, to say the least.
So now that we have that understanding, don't you think we'd appreciate your invitation and want to contribute?
(Not that this is an RSVP)

Good point. I have had like 10 girls for Shabbos and many girls offered to contribute something. I doubt I'll get an entire internet-board load though...
I think I know how I'll word things when I post the official info of when it will be.
truelife, it will be great to see you again.
