...but there's room for 1,000.

It's November. The member fees slips are in the mail. I'd say there's room for far more than a thousand.

Happy Thanksgiving from me and our special guest.

Amy, I just wanted to quickly share how differently other people may view this by sharing my own experience. I LOVE the show and was surprised to read the comment because I actually have the exact opposite perspective. I actually told my husband the other day how I always think your insights are so interesting and entertaining and how I wish we got to hear more from you.

Now, I am a woman married to a guy who can talk for a LONG time seemingly without taking a breath. So, I often will chime in with my own thoughts in the middle of one of his monologues and will then subsequently hear complaints of how I interrupt SO much I am also a professional woman and have had similarish experiences in the workplace. So, all just to say, different people will have different reactions always and I agree with @AstroBlasters, please keep being you!

I also know I’m like a week late to this thread so sorry for the late reply. I just had such a different reaction that I had to share.

Awww thank you. You’re so sweet.

I'd say you should interject more! You give a good balance and perspective. Sometimes the guys ramble, as is okay to do of course in that setting, and I often think we could use to hear from you more at that point.

Maybe when the time is right to fill Panda's spot there might be another women to join in and balance the panel a bit more.

Either way, keep the show going! We enjoyed meeting you and Paul at a DHS Moonlight Magic this year. And yes, we now eat that pizza too.

So nice to meet you too. Glad you like the pizza, haha.

Wow 10 days and through ROFR. Wasn’t expecting that quick of a turn around for some add on points.

Never said I didn’t enjoy her perspective or value her input on the show. Ever. She’s very nice and a vital part of the show. It was a simple point that it’s hard to listen to a podcast when people interrupt each other in the middle of a person making a point. Nothing to do with her being a woman or any of that nonsense. And the last show on this $500 nonsense and the new point charts was great.

But it’s interesting how you didn’t point out that Jeff is the one who is CONSTANTLY interrupting with his opinion. Which, once again, I am 100% on board with because that’s how people would actually act if they were just hanging out and talking with their friend group.

Pointing out that a female is doing it while completely ignoring that a male is doing it comes off as “sit there and smile and let the boys talk unless you’re called upon”.

I don’t want to get into details to prove a point because it will come across as picking on Amy which is not what I want to do. But the perception of my comment is more “ink blot test” than reality in that it’s just showing how you subjectively perceive the world.

Do you see that didn’t address the point about only pointing out Amy and not mentioning Jeff….You’re just trying to double down on Amy….

I’ll drop it after this, but the issue has nothing to do with how I subjectivity see the world.

I do see that - because I don’t want to pick on anyone (or “double down” on anyone) in replying to you. Let’s just get back to getting news from the meetings.

Move on please.

I know we are all moving on, but I’m just getting back to this thread and just wanted to say that my comment wasn’t intended to be targeted at you. Super sorry if it came across that way! I just have a different reaction and wanted to share it. It wasn’t meant to be critical of your comment or you and sorry if it came across that way.

Ever get cold feet on selling a contract? I’m supposed to sell two contracts. One I’m happy to let go. The second is a mini contract, and with the new $500 fee…well, I can see it being useful to hang onto since I’ll probably end up eventually buying another mini contract in the future because it could be useful for point eaters like an Aulani 2 br in the offseason.

I would feel bad for the buyers though. And I assume I’d get blacklisted from that sales site. So I probably will just sell it after all.
