I love my sister and plan to do everything I can for her and her upcoming baby - but I just got the invite to the baby shower.

Sunday Sept. 26 at 1 pm

No, no, no. One of the last Sundays of my beloved reg season baseball PLUS week 3 NFL which is when I start betting it. It should be one of the most busy, fun, exhilerating days of the year for me. I can picture it. I can feel it. I got bets, I got pools. Lines being tracked, triggers being pulled, results coming in. I'm here at my computers with the TV on behind me, jumping back and forth as the action dictates. Probably order in Swiss Chalet for dinner in time for the end of the 4 o'clock games. Then right back to the computers for the late action. 12 hour day.

Man I love that day. Can you tell?

Trade it in for a baby shower?

No I must get out of this. And to just say I'm working I don't think will quite cut it in this situation.

What do I do?
 
I had a situation pop up like this a couple of years ago. I had a function to go to on a Sunday afternoon and I didn't want to go. I was to go with my gf, 2 friends, my friend's mother. I was rude and standoffish to everybody there and I came off as a total jerk - it wa sobvious I did not want to be there. But that's not me! I'm not normally a rude jerk! This is STILL brought up, even this past weekend actually, on how rude I was to everybody that day.

My advice is, DO NOT GO! You will not be in to it, you do not want to go, you do not want to be there, so why go? Overcompensate with a super great gift. Take your sister and the man who impregnanted her out for dinner, or lunch, whatever. BUT DO NOT GO! MUDDY, DO NOT GO!!!

send her this post. She might not even really want you there anyway. :dunno: Aren't those things for women only?
 
A wedding day and a baby shower are two completely different animals wally. He needs out of this. You will just have to get sick that day. Flulike symptoms. Nobody likes to hear details of the flu. You will give details. Bad seafood, 24 hour deal.
 
I try to make it a habit, as much as humanly possible, to not do things that I do not want to do. If it hurts someone's feelings, then so be it. My time is valuable.

But I understand that doesn't work for everybody. I'd like it if you were here talking some football with me online for Week 3.
 
Muddy, do you believe in karma?

If not then read no further.

If you in fact do believe in karma then what do you think karma will do to all your wagers and pools if you attempt to take joy in them at the expense of missing something so special to your sister? Karma just may very well make it a "Black Sunday", Muddy.
 
Come on. Karma? Do I look like I believe in karma?

Wally it's going to be a bunch of hens, making high-pitched noises about baby clothes. If anyone should be worrying about karma it's her for cruelly inviting me to such a thing.
