father in law threw a kink in our plans

[dis-happy]

...and now the OP has edited her location so it no longer says it's "Bourbonnais, IL".

Thank you. I thought I was going crazy.....thought I saw it and then I didn't.


OP: one way or another, I hope y'all get to the airport and have a nice trip.

^This!

You can erase posts, edit your profile and deactivate your facebook account but guess what? It's still out there! Just do a random google and then click on "cached" instead of the url link. You can see a "snapshot" of what an internet page looked like on the date listed in the google header. Works for Bing and Yahoo searches too.

Which should serve as a warning that anything you post on the internet is permanent.

Sorry to hear he has backed out on you. I'm not going into all the drama this thread is getting, but I'm in the camp that once you commit you are commited to something. If something important comes up, then I understand backing out.

I think it entirely possible that FIL agreed to a general "Can you drive us to the airport for our trip"....and then when he really thought about it, didnt really want to drive at 3 or 4am in the dark to a big city on the Interstate

Rollie(?) I've read it.
But I think she didn't expect to be attacked like this for being upset with her FIL.

I can pretty much guarantee that there have been a LOT of 'stories' on here. I can think of one poster in particular who you all 'LOVED' that I could have called total nonsense on her posts, but I didn't. Why? I'm not in middle school or in the movie 'Mean Girls'.

I just wonder why most of you are going to so much trouble to contradict and try to 'out' her.
It's a pattern for a few of you.

Isn't this the truth. Too bad even if you try to help people, let them know that they are really treading water, then they say, I used fictional information? So hopefully others will listen. Nothing is sacred on the Web!!

Now I do go back and read previous posts of people ON HERE, once in a while.
But to 'stalk' people to other sites, facebook etc. Doesn't anyone else see that as a wee bit odd? (to say the least)

Yes. I could easily see agreeing to drive someone to the airport but backing out 6 weeks ahead of time if I sudden found out they expected to be at the airport by 4 am and had failed to mention it. Perhaps he didn't think to get details up front because he assumed nobody would ask for a ride to the airport in the middle of the night for a vacation?

Tink thats how it is on here.

I see you haven't been a member for very long. Its not done on every thread, but I think this one has become such nonsense.

The story has changed so many times to suit the OP and always make her be the good guy.

I think most find it hard to believe a good deal of this story is even true. So alot of looking up past threads was done to call her on something. This story has taken so many turns its almost like a soap opera or a country song.

I can't believe the moderators aren't doing anything about these kind of personal attacks?

I totally agree!! The lengths some have gone to here to discredit someone who they don't even know is quite disturbing. I mean, what next, is someone going to drive up to her door and do something to show her how wrong she is in their eyes?

Scary. Word to the wise. This is getting creepy. I admit I have not read the entire thread but this appears very uncalled for. I would think this thread should have been closed looooooong ago.

I've been on here as a lurker for a while.

I'm on other boards where I sort of expect this trash talking, call em out garbage. Like sports boards. THIS is a VACATION board, with ancillary subjects.

My question is why do people feel the need to hunt her down? Is it going to impact your life?

I think, and this may be construed as rude, that some of you need to get a life.

Like I said, I read a trip report that I could have called B* on, and most of you were totally enamored with it. It was a good story that made the person look like they had an exciting wonderful life. Did it harm anyone? Not really.

This thing of 'I wouldn't go on vacation if I cut it that close' blah blah, personal attacks and so forth? Juvenile at best. The stalking to facebook, looking up values of homes? You may see that as being normal but I sure don't.

If you want to go that route I guess I could ask how many people are totally honest with their finances etc, especially when they feel they have to defend themselves?

But if it makes you feel better about yourselves then?????

 

[mrsksomeday]

NOTHING on the internet is secret!

Especially when someone with apparently no life tracks down old posts, does google searches on email addresses and then apparently looks for pictures of said addresses.

You are scary .

The OP was a rant, geez people seriously need a life around here.

Amen to both of you.
The responses and lengths some people are going to? NOW THAT is a LMN tv show in the making.

This reminds me of the year I decided to stop teaching 2-4th grade and take on the 7th graders. SAME type of behavior.
