There is a brony meetup in Stockholm on the 10th, however my family are going to our country house to celebrate the 75th birthday of my grandfather that weekend. I don't want to miss the meetup, but I don't want to disapoint my grandfather and my family. What should I do? What would a brony with the lessons of the show in mind do?
What's more important to you, family or some guys who like the same show as you? Its a fantastic community, but I think you should go to see your family, personally. Family should come first.
Woah, 75th Birthday? Sorry, but screw the meet-up, he's family! Also, at that age, treasure your grandparents, they aren't around forever. :/
In my opinion, family comes first, always. If you're going to look to the show for advice, then look at it in this light: Your presence will mean a lot to your grandfather most likely. (I don't know him, so I can't really say, but that's not the point). So if we were to look for a specific thing that you might find in the show that might influence your actions here, it'd be that while you may want to go to the meetup, you should take the time and spend it with your family instead as there will be other meetups in the future, but you have no clue how long you will have your grandfather. Cherish that time. Edit: We all seem to be saying the same thing here. TAKE ME MERRI.
Family is always first. You never know when they'll die. My great-grandpa passed away of a heart attack on December 10th at age 99. We all thought he was going to live till August and be 100. In the end, it's up to you, but remember, family will always be there for you, there will always be other meetups.
Why are you even discussing this with us? No question about it, celebrate your folk's birthday. I may not have many friends IRL, and those I do have I tend not to hang out with often, but given the choice, I'd rather be with my family, ultimately.
Personally, it'd be pretty obvious for me. But I guess it isn't for you. Family is much more important than being surrounded by a bunch of guys smelling like cheetos and BO watching MLP (joking) don'tcha think?
if you can't have both, then family first. after all, this will be your grandfather's only 75th birthday, and there will be more than one Stockholm meetups in future. Family first.
Cheetos is quite a good smell. Okay, maybe this is the case when it's coming out of a bag that you just opened and your face resembles this: Spoiler: Huge Picture :I Otherwise, when it comes off of as person, it's kind of nasty in hindsight...
I find the smell of cheetos and BO to be quite nice actually thank you very much. Throw some sour cream and onion chips in the mix and I'm sold!
Family is more important. there will always be a meet up for another time. Go see your Grandfather. Do the Right Choice. :3
Thanks, I know what to do now. I just needed support to make up my mind, it felt like whatever I decided I would regret it and wish I choose the other. I hope there is another meetup soon. My two brony friend was going on this one though and I don't like to disapoint them either. We are starting a session on a pony roleplaying game soon though so I hope they may find a few more people on the meetup. This ruleset is way better than the one I was making myself.https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&...MGNlYi00OWRjLThlNjAtNDBkOGEzOTk3NjFj&hl=en_GB But I will see my grandparents, it is clearly the right choice.
You get to your grandfather's house and there's a note saying he went to a meetup in Stockholm. xD In all seriousness, meet ups tend to be fairly popular in your areas. Just go be with your family.
Family first, dear friend. A casual get-together like that can always wait, especially when others are counting on you to be there for them.
