I don't mind throwing parties, but when you have had enough, it's easier to leave one then to tell folks to hit the road. My sweety likes throwing parties, and she usually doesn't mind if I just sneak off and hit the sack ... Of course when we let the kids have parties as they got older, I would need to stay up to watch out for drinking, drugs, rowdiness, carrousing, fights, gambling, thievery, vandalism, unlawful sex, vomitting and other youthful pleasures ........... So I guess I would rather go to a party ..... so I can leave when I want to .........
