Book Club
Hey ladies! I was wondering if it would be possible to have the book club on a certain Saturday every month so that I can make sure to get the night before off from work? Like the third Saturday of every month or something? I really want to join you guys again but I have to have my schedule set up a couple of months ahead so it's hard for me to rearrange it when I find out the date.
What do y'all think?

I think this works out best... but, what about getting them set two months in advance? Like, we can go ahead & hammer out March's date at my house, and then at February's we can pick May's hostess & date? Would that help any?
I have actually thought of proposing this before. The last book club I was in was always on the second Saturday. This way everyone knows when it is and if you can make it, you can make it and if you can't, you can't.
However, since we always seem to find a date that works for nearly everyone, I have never suggested it. It's not a bad idea -- but I will go with what the majority decides.

Just do it!

True, I don't know of another way to get everyone's input in advance... they could always come back for a quick clicky poll
No, not at all, but I think it's worth a discussion at the February meeting.

Angie alerted me that there was book club discussion going on here.
My two cents:
We have had book clubs with 5 people and book clubs with 15+ people...and those were the ones that everyone agreed upon.
If you guys want to take it and make it a certain Saturday, that's fine with me. However, it will definitely lower the overall attendance.
Angela - I get where you are coming from on this, but there have been a few times that you were off work and still didn't come. If the group as a whole is willing to change it for you, are you going to make the commitment to attend?
O hai, Tiffany!

I'm cool with a couple of months advance notice too, but when I've asked for that in the past I was ignored.
You most definitely were not ignored. I answered you when you asked about setting a date in advance for January. I told you we usually decided the date for the next month at the previous month's book club. January was the first book club where we discussed two months in advance.
As someone who lived in a house where one person was on nights I can speak from experience that it affects the body in ways you can't imagine. Also, I would think that being sick and throwing up (sorry to spread your information, Angela) would be a good reason to NOT come to the book club.
LOOK! A PUPPY!!

AND ANOTHER!

I'm confused as to why you would even comment on this. Tiffany gave her opinion, Angela responded to what Tiffany said. There wasn't any drama involved. I'm 100% sure that Angela can stick up for herself if she felt she needed to do so. Let's not stir up drama.
Puppies?

I'm confused as to why it matters. I'm also ready for kittens with rainbows.
Geez, this is part of why I left to begin with.
I guess I will go ahead and quit book club, too, since I am not allowed to post on something that I am actually a part of. As I recall, you do not participate in book club so this is really none of your concern.
Also, it apparently matters to you a lot, since you decided to speak about it on TK as well. If you have something to say to me, you can say it to my face.
Kthanx.
Whoa. Thank you Julie. I understand that it can be frustrating with me not being able to make it when I say I will try, but like Julie said it is HARD to know how I will feel the next day. And if you saw my earlier posts I have been having health problems on top of everything. I am NOT asking anyone to change their schedules to accommodate me, I am just asking if we could set the schedule earlier so I can have the best chance to make it. If you guys are not interested in that, that's fine, I just won't participate.
And I'm sorry Lacey, but saying that everyone picks the date for the next month at the previous month's book club is pretty much ignoring me. That doesn't solve any problems.
I'm not apart of Book Club, or this whole discussion - but can I just say: please stop.
Tiffany, you disappeared on everyone, and no one knew why. It sucks, and I wish that you'd come back or at least give us a heads up... you're a part of this group of people and we would like to have you around. We are friends with you and it felt like you totally ditched all of us. Yes, you are apart of Book Club, but you're never on here (and I would like for you to come back... let me make that clear). I think that saying you're going to quit Book Club is extreme.
Julie, I agree that you shouldn't have gone to TK. I understand that you were trying to defend Angela on this thread... but it seems that Angela was okay with the whole thing.
Seriously, this drama is exactly why this whole group left TK and now we're all over here doing it too.
GOOD GRIEF.

I can see why you would think that. I honestly wasn't trying to ignore you, though. I saw your question and I was trying to tell you what we usually did. You never replied to what I said, so I thought you had nothing more to say about that. I wasn't trying to solve the problem, I was trying to start the discussion.
I really don't understand all of the hurt feelings. No one said you can't post here. And I thought Julie has been to book club before, so she can post too. She was just sticking up for me because she knows a lot more about my health problems than I put on the board. Your comment Tiffany could've hurt my feelings, but I know that's not what you meant so I didn't take it personally. There is no need for all of the drama.
Because I see your entire post as trying to start drama. Oh, and your post on TK. Why would you post about it over there?
Like I said before, I agree that was wrong. But Tiffany's initial post in this thread was very "out of the gates swinging" kinda feeling. I think that there are muliple people here that should back away and just say sorry.

It came across to me as saying, "This is how we do it, so get used to it." That's why I didn't respond because if you guys feel that way I'm not going to try to change your routine. If that's what y'all like & have decided on that's fine with me.
I get what your saying Bri, but my post was for Julie.
Angela - I was not trying to hurt you. Nor was I trying to "come out of the gate swinging" as Brianna suggested. I apologize if it felt that way, it was not my intention.
Brianna - I didn't leave anyone hanging. You are all my friends on FB, and I would love for anyone and everyone to contact me there. Only one person asked me why I left, so I figured it was water under the bridge by now.
I've spoken my peace now, and now I will go.
I hope that you meant me, because I've contacted you - twice. Text and Facebook.
