The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[HolidayRoad]

Good morning everyone. Just checking in, kind of slow the past couple of days. I do find it funny how the weekends are so much slower here than during the week. Well, tomorrows Monday and Nancy told my wife to call her back on Monday so hopefully I will have some news. I really hope we can get this whole thing settled before our trip...Which is only 11 days 17 hours 5 minutes and 2 seconds before we head outta town sideways. I hope everyone has a nice laid back Sunday, I'll check back in from time to time.

Good Morning all!! I sure wish you luck tomorrow, HR. I think this is going to be a big week for this group. There are a bunch who should be hearing something this week on various levels!! Good luck all!!

It is supposed to be really nice here today also. And tomorrow even bettter! Of course, no lacrosse games scheduled so no rain. Both games on ESPN U yesterday were played in rain. I'm telling you, lacrosse is french for rain!!!

I think I will do some homework and then take the '68 Mustang for it's maiden spring voyage. Poor thing hasn't seen the pavement since last fall.

Enjoy your day guys!! TTFN

Good Morning Everyone...
Hope you have a blessed Sunday...we are going to be low key today..2 of the 4 kids have colds. Also we are trying to figure out the financing thing for our resale. Since we are first time buyers we wanted to buy a nice amount of points. We have some cash for some of them and wanted to finance the rest. We got a letter yesterday from the place reccommended from GMAC because we have not lived in the same house for one year they cannot finance it. We have lived in the area for 2 years and moved last Sep. to a new place. So we are trying to figure it out. Our bank loans are way more than most other places. Anyone have any suggestions??

You could do a home equity line of credit, you can get a lower interest rate than a regular loan, or a 0% on a CC depending on the amount. I know I got an offer from Capital One frecently for 0% for a year or 18 months.

Nice of them to let you know after the fact.

Good Morning boys and girls...I had a terrible time last nite with this site. Couldn't get anything to run or download so I shut it down. Really weird then...IE started to open up browser after browser on my computer, all trying to get to this site. Literally 100 browsers until I did a quick shut down.

Very weird...I need to post this on the tech site as well...not that anyone will look into it but...

Busy day today...probably won't be back until tonite! Plus it's going to be sunny and 60+ here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TTFN

You have spyware that has hijacked your internet web browser. Run anti-spyware programs like Ad-aware 7.0 and Spy Bot. Sorry to get OT, couldn't help myself!

You know I was thinking the same thing the way he said that it was opening the browser multiple times very quickly. I was hoping that since he said it was happening last night and he posted today that wasn't the case. I hate to say this but if his browser is hijacked adware probably wont get rid of it, it's usually too embedded in his system to get it out, at least in the cases I've seen.

Minniekissedme, just a suggestion go through your task manager (ctrl/alt/delete), check out your processes and cpu - your system idol process should be no less than 97-98 percent check the applications see if anything else is running beside what you know you have running. Unless you have a lot of stuff on your computer you should only have about 50 process or so if you double click on the top of cpu so that cpu usage is in descending order see if anything weird is eating up your system. I'd run a virus sweep, running adware is a good idea but I would also download windows defender and run that too. Of coarse if it's not happening anymore than this isn't really necessary but it couldn't hurt.

I refi'd my home. Did the calculations, 48K savings in interest and got locked in to a 5% rate. My justification for buying DVC and emptying the savings account Anyway if you own your home look at home equality or if you deal with the same bank look at a line of credit. There are ways around the problem.

Bob do a virus check on your computer. This happened to DH and he had a virus that had turned off his virus software. Took us forever to get rid of the virus, finally had to reformat the lap top. I learned one thing from that I nightmare, manually do a virus check each week, plus the scheduled checks. I wish hackers would find something better to do, then mess with peoples computers

 

[minniekissedme]

thanks everyone...running McAfee right now! Nothing unusual today. Just busy, busy, busy!

 

[Buckeye Fan]

For those of you ahead of me in the process, when do you think I'll get my closing docs? I passed ROFR on 3/27.

Thanks!

Also, lots of luck and pixie dust to those waiting!!!

Good morning...mine was pushing three weeks. Sent the check/docs on Friday so it should arrive today. Closing is scheduled for the 14th and may close this week if everything is in order.

 

[minniekissedme]

Good morning boys and girls...another beautiful day ahead. Supposed to be a perfect early spring day with lots of sun and blue skys.
Another busy day in store...working on a new listing this morning and this afternoon I'll be enjoying beautiful PNC Park for the '08 Pittsburgh Pirates opener! Tough duty in a suite today! Then more house hunting after the game.

My closing process should be rolling today. The settlement folks don't work over the weekend so there was no need to "overnite" the docs. As I mentioned to Buckeye Fan, they will receive docs today! Keeping my fingers crossed...

Allow me to propose a question for today. If you would be able to take anyone person to WDW with you, who would it be?? I'd like to be able to take my grandfather Burt. He died much to young...he was a blast. He was big time into horticulture...would have loved WDW. He was a great guy to hang out with, enjoy a good dinner and a drink, and would have been a great DVC'er.

I'll be around for a bit...hope everyone gets a little today!

 

[Laxmom]

Good Morning everyone!! Another spring like day here in Ohio. DH is traveling all week so if I hear something, he won't be here to share it with. I guess you all will be the first to know!

It should be a big week! We've got a lot of people who should be hearing something soon. I hope everyone gets really good news this week. And HR will be within 1 week of his trip soon, too. Lucky duck!

Have a super day!! I'm glad there is only one monday a week!

 

[Laxmom]

Thats a tough question, Minnie. I think I would have to say my brother. He works a job that has really robbed him of a family life; he travels 5 days a week. He also has been through some life experiences that have changed him. He really is a big kid at heart but just doesn't slow down enough to let him out very often. I think he would be a lot of fun to go to Disney with and he needs it!!

Have fun at the park! Should be a beautiful day for baseball.

That is a hard one - I passed ROFR on 3/20/08 and still have not heard a word or gotten through Estopple. One company out there seems to be moving faster then the others. Did you go through TTS?

I would say my sister and her family. She had cancer (Hodgkin’s) when she was 18 and it went into remission. She just got another cancer last August (40 years old) that was caused by the treatment for the first cancer. It was the most aggressive form on breast cancer out there. They have treated her, done the surgery and 6 weeks of radiation. She is now on a wait and see - which is hard. She has always wanted to take her kids to Disney - that is one reason that getting this closed and getting the Grand Villa is so important to me - she can stay with us when we go

 

[minniekissedme]

Like you Tig...I'm hoping the DVC will get my parents to go with us, too. They are getting a bit older and actually moved closer to us to be near my kids and my brother's family. Doing WDW would be a lot for them only in the sense they have no interest in keeping up with us. But to get them to "hang" at SSR would be very realistic!
