The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[colonialtinker]

Gloucester is actually in Massachusetts about 15 minutes from me and it's pronounced Glosta. Out west we have Worcester pronounced woosta. Up north there is Haverhill prononuced Havrill and Bedford pronounced bedfid. Anothe good one is Medford pronounced Medfa. OMG we do talk weird! How does anyone understand us?

I'm not saying how we say Gloucester down here, I'll just say its a little bit different then ya'll.

Is there any understand the decisions by Disney? We're in day 9 of ROFR, and we are as anxious as everyone else. As I wait and read, however, I am mystified by the decisions Disney seems to make. From the passed/failed thread, it appears they'll pass on one contract at $78/pt with a full year's points banked and excercise ROFR on another at $83 with no points banked. It seems there's no rhyme or reason. Any of the DisVets figured this out?

From what I have read on all the different threads, it seems to do with someone wanting to buy a particular YU at a resort that is usually sold out, but not always I think its Disney's way of keeping us on our toes so we don't get to cocky

See I told you it's not just about taking away the R's it's also about randomly placing them into words.

I understand your confusion. I think it also depends on if the need the points for a contract too. They can resell it and make a profit if they have someone waiting for those points. They can also break that contract up into several, from what I understan.

It would Glowchester here. I like Glahster better.

I shouldn't get into the football, but DH is from south of Boston so guess who I hear about all the time. I grew up in MN. Actually, football is ok - different leagues, and the Twins have won more World Series recently than Boston but basketball and Garnet to the Celtics - that's my sore spot. DH never watched a basketball game before in his life but now it's all about the Celtics. Gotta say though - you Boston people are FANS! Or is it fanatics?!!??!

Our check and closing papers arrived at the title company today according to UPS. We're getting closer!!

O.K. I'm not trying to start something but THE TWINS!!!! Two Championships total 1987 and 1991 what's that 17 years ago. Sox 2004 & 2007 for the last two and then there was a slight 85 year drought but still The Twins, more Championships, you were joking right!!! Sorry, I can't help it.

Ho hum...we're in that boring early portion of ROFR (six days now). There's little use even thinking about it for at least another four days... Perhaps the second time is a charm...?

 

[Laxmom]

Guys. Laxlad just rushed out of here. They let them go from practice early tonite and we didn't know why. He just got a call that one of his team mates tried to kill himself today. This boy is 15 yo. and lives in our neighborhood. We carpooled for the past 2 years. I am just stunned. I will keep you posted.

I hope so Mickey!! There have been people that have made it thru in 7-10 days so you may know by the end of the week. Got my fingers and toes crossed.

 

[tammymacb]

That's terrible.

I GFs husband recently committed suicide. She's my age and they have children my kids' age ( one just started college and the other is 12 ). It's messed up my GFs life. I feel so bad for her.

Hopefully, this will help get your boy straightened out.

Wow, that's horrifying and scary. I hope he's alright. How's Laxlad doing with this? I hope it turns out O.K.

So sorry to hear this Susan.

Today would have been my brother Tommy's 48th birthday. He decided 4 yours ago that life wasn't worth living and ended it all on May 22, 2004. I will be keeping this young man in my thoughts and prayers.

 

[Laxmom]

Just got the call. They disconnected his life support. Gotta go.

I'm so sorry. You all will be in my prayers.

In the grand scheme of things, this whole ROFR and closing is NOT important.

 

[TenThousandVolts]

Laxmom, prayers and hugs. I will pray for this boy and his family. Give Laxlad a nice tight hug tonight.

How sad for your son. My DS went through this when he was 14, it was a really difficult time for us. Your family and his are in my prayers

I really don't know what to say, just know that you, your family and son's teammate and family are all in my thoughts and prayers. So sad, I agree with Cheryl, sure puts thing into perspective.
