Allegheny,

I sorry this is confusing to some, I'm trying. 

Carol is the newest neighbor who does know Susie better than I do and Susie has been very kind to her.  

When I was setting this up if Carol had said she would like to ride with Suzie and the OP I would have never given it a second thought.

But when Carol apoligized and said she felt obligated I got that they pressured her.

We have moved (Army) and lived in many neighborhoods and never experienced juvinalle behavior.  

Now that I'm in an "over 55" I guess there will be games. I expected maturity and joy from other retired neighbors.  I am grateful for all the friends I do have here! 

[Jackhound Mom]

Almost everyone here has been kind enough to try to help me process this tiny part of my life.  Thank you!  Just like the ladies on the street, there's always one...

My goal when I am in QVC's forum is to also help or suggest when I can actually ad something to a question or concern.

I appreciate my long distance friends here!

Have a wonderful day,

Cathy

*Miss Got Rocks* means to me - Oh, you've got money!

Not necessarily in a condescending way, more of in a joking way....but amongst good friends, not aquaintances.

Would never take it as you've 'got a pair'.  No, not at all.

Anyhoo, that was a nice gesture of you to do (and your 80 year old neighbor who thought of doing something first).

There is a bit of childishness going on, with an invitee asking if you called someone already as though she is the liason between you two.  Ha!

And then the 'ride with me, don't ride with her' bit.  Geesh.

So suzie, her friend next door didn't speak to you the entire lunch.  How awkward!  Did they speak to Barb--the hororee?

You did good.  Suzie is an arse.  So is her *petrified friend*.

Obviously, Carol said something to them about you to which they took offense. I doubt that she intended the result which explains her profuse apology. Carol seems someone who speaks without thought as to how it will be perceived. She innocently goes about causing misunderstanding and hard feelings. I'd distance myself from her.

Sounds fun.  When is the next luncheon?

@Jackhound Mom   No good deed goes unpunished.  LOL

Seriously, l'd let it go.  It's not worth your time.

Next time you plan a luncheon invite me instead. 

[Jackhound Mom]

Lucky & Occasion,

Wow!  Thanks for your thoughts.  The "2" did say a few things to Barb.  All but them thanked my friend and I for doing the lunch.  The best part of all is that Barb had fun and got to know us all which was the whole point of the get together.  

Perhaps I should have collected $1 from everyone for Barb's lunch but I thought that was my place.  At least Susie offered but it is the way she did it. 

[Jackhound Mom]

Scooby,

Thanks   I needed that.  When do you want to go?

[Jackhound Mom]

Cakers,

Come on over, you are invited!

When there are 12 people at a table it's not easy to talk to everyone.  Unless they were sitting right next to you and/or were intentionally icy, I wouldn't think much of it.  I would just continue to treat the women as I always had either way. 

It sounds like you have a nice group of neighbors/friends.
