Once again the list is getting long, usually means the answers are coming soon!

ROFR is a four letter word.

Good Morning Sunshines!

Susan, I bet todays your lucky day! I'm crossing my fingers for you.

LadyKay, welcome! I'm waiting for ROFR on a tiny BCV contract myself. My home resort is BWV.

OK, April Fools Day everyone. Here's the story but it's long and it's true...

I used to work with my best friends in the world. Everyday was another reason to laugh. ( I sure do miss that job ) We were the contract weekend team and worked together every Sat and Sun. My three peeps are Becky, Nancy and Simone. They all carpool together to work. I live on the other side of the world.

One morning, ( noone even remembered at the time it was 4/1), Becky picked up Simone and Nancy as usual and off to work they went. They were driving up the interstate into Charleston when blue lights came on. It was still dark ( we work 7a-7p) outside. Becky pulled over. The cop asked for her license and registration and she passed him her wallet. He frowned at her and asked "What's this???" He had a tiny plastic baggie with white stuff in it, in his hand. "That's not MINE!" says Becky.

He takes her wallet back to the cruiser and the peanut gallery is doing this-
"Simone is thinking "We're going to jail"...OMG JAIL!"

Nancy is giving her best tried and true advice telling Becky to tell the officer that she has to poop. It's worked for Nancy in the past, she was pulled over and told the cop "I'm sorry, but I'm really in a hurry, I have to go to the bathroom and NOT #1". He let her go.

So Simone is invisoning jail, and Nancy is mumbeling "Poop, Becky, Poop" when the cop comes back to the car.

"Well, Ma'am, we've got a little problem", he says.

"Officer, I already told you, whatever that is IS NOT mine," she smiles prettily, "Anyway, isn't there a way we can work this out?"

"How do you propose?" asks the cop.

Beckie looks at Nancy, then looks at Simone and says.....

"How about if these two have s** with you??? "

That's when Becky and the cop ( her ex husband that no one had ever met before ) bust out laughing.

Simone said she had a stomache ache for the rest of the day....

That's an April fools story! Tell him you have to poop. As someone in law enforcement, that's awesome!!! Oh, don't worry about the drugs, you need to poop! Just get out of here . I can't imagine how many times that must come up when you all are together. If you are at all like my friends, then your friend has to be known as the "poop lady". Thank you for sharing that. With your permission I wold love to tell that to my fellow PO's and CO's.

 

[tammymacb]

Ed, of course you have my permission.

It has officially been 15 days today since we were submitted to ROFR. What is going on???

 

[HolidayRoad]

After reading your posts I decided to Email Nancy and find out how my little estoppels thing is going. She informed me that she has not received anything from DVC yet and if she received it today, which is doubtful, I wouldn't close until May first. Realistically she thought we wouldn't close until the 16th or 17th of May I was originally told April 18th. My big plan was to have this all wrapped up before then because, as you know, it then takes another week to ten days to get into the system before you can book your vacation. My big plan was to book at exactly 11 months out starting on May 19th because that would be exactly 11 months from the first night we want to stay next year I really want a BW-Epcot view for my first trip "Home" and now I'm becoming concerned about that possibility. Does anyone know how fast those rooms book up? Will I still be able to get one even if it's a week or two past the eleven month to the day window?

Tammy...I'd call MasterCard if I were you...that has "priceless commercial" written all over it! Frankly, I can't believe it hasn't already been done.

Just sending good thoughts and

They must be pretty busy. I was just submitted for ROFR last Thursday, and look how far I am down your list, already!

 

[Buckeye Fan]

My mind is just not comprehending why a seller who wishes to sell would take 6, and now 7, days to return paperwork. I am concerned they are backing out. We will see what today holds.

Good luck to all!! I just know today will be the day for some of us!!! I can feel it!

I really do understand. I'm pretty sure that the sellers have to get their stuff notarized. Not that getting to a public notary is a good excuse , but it may make getting stuff signed and back in a little more complicated. With that said, I'll send some extra pixie dust your way!!! Here's to hoping you hear some good news today!!!

 

[minniekissedme]

If you find yourself heading to Pittsburgh again drop a note! My first DIS'er meet!!!

Hope a bunch of us get some good news today.

Mama needs a new pair of shoes...I'm off to go look at houses!

Okay Ladies and Gentlemen, can anyone tell me roughly how long it will take for closing. I would like to keep the money in my savings account until after the 19th of this money, another interest payment gets applied

Great April Fools Story Tammy

 

[Princess Amy Lyn]

How often to sellers back out after ROFR?? I was thinking that ROFR was the hard part......

Well, we've run the gamut. Cheryl was supposed to close on April 7th and she already has her membership number...She closed a week ago. I was supposed to close April 9th and haven't seen paperwork yet.. I'm pretty disappointed at this point.

Ed, I'm sorry your date is also messed up. I think you'll be fine with your dates, though. You'll still be in the 11 month window AND it's not the cheapest points of the year ( Like the beginning of Dec ) I don't think you'll have much to worry about.

I, however, am seeing the June kids trip fade away. If I ever close, I'm sure everything will be sold out. As of yesterday only SSR was left.

 

[Verandah Man]

Just got in for lunch and still no word if our offer has been accepted yet or not. This goes real well with the morning I've had. I think the gods are playing April Fools jokes on me today..............

Walked around all morning in the rain reading meters, only to come home for lunch, and the stinkin' sun decides to come out now.........

Such is life.........

 

[Verandah Man]

Sorry to hear about everyone else's woes this morning...........
