sorry to hear about your mom, i'm sure we all are. what's CCU anyway? sounds bad. is it a "hospital" thing?
on a neutral side, this is one big misunderstanding, however, caused by you yourself. for not taking initiative to inform before hand or even during the times they're calling (you're actually aware that they were calling). i'm sure they'd be more than happy to wait even an hour and only to find out you really had things going on. I ever recorded a band whom everyone showed up except the drummer (we were recording drums that day) and turned out drummer's mom was admitted to hospital. good reason, (I emphasize the word reason, not excuse) , i even gave them a discount. shit happens.
as for sircool, you're at fault for posting up numbers. it is against soft forum rules / or even against the law. try to compose yourself well the next time, I understand how it feels to be "tua-ed". thats why I either deal at my doorstep or deal at buyer's. no "random meet up place" because if buyer / seller can't even accomodate a simple "at your convenience or his" rule, none of you can be trusted. find another deal.
I strongly encourage to those who called or are going to call, send a friendly sms.
cheers
