The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

Too cool!! When DH was active duty AF, we were stationed at Wright-Patt. They had a huge airshow that the Thunderbirds performed at. My oldest was about 4. We went and there was a part of their show where they kicked in the afterburners. It scared him. From then on, if he was outside playing when the airconditioner unit turned on (it was loud, like a jet) or an F4 flew over, he would come running inside, covering his ears thinking the Thunderbirds were coming. Not a good thing to be afraid of when living on an AF base!!

Good Morning Everyone.
Welcome to all new waiting for ROFRers

Okay, who sent Aunt Edna to Virginia and can you please come get her. Yesterday at work I got a phone call from a female who there was no pleasing. If I said it was a nice sunny day, she would have pointed to the few clouds in the sky. I was wrong and she was right and that is the way she thought. She went over my head to my boss's boss. He called me up after hours and had me go into his office to discuss the matter I bring a copy of the ordience she is trying to get around and claims doesn't exist and he tells me " JUST TRY TO PLEASE HER" Why have rules if your gonna bend them for certain people. Only good thing that came out of this is I get a 2 hour call out. and she didn't get what she wanted, we were already closed for the day and I am not authorized to call people in to work. Please take Aunt Edna back before Monday, I don't want to deal with her again

 

[Laxmom]

Sorry, but Ohio doesn't want her back!!! She already made a visit to our office last week!!!

My Dad used to say,"if she was eating ice cream, if it wasn't the wrong flavor, it would be too cold." In other words, there are those who aren't happy unless complaining.

Maybe she'll fly back to the planet she came from and I'll have a peaceful day on Monday At least I have 2 days of not having to worry about her. Plus I'm taking DD shopping for some new clothes and shoes this afternoon, nothing like shopping to take your mind off your problems

 

[cybertea201]

GOOD MORNING ALL!!

just me and princess aurora.

Speaking of Aunt Edna's, My boss
Does anybody else hate it when you say that your 1 , 2, 3 year old loved Disney World then you have somebody say.
They wont remember that. I hate that. I've heard that more than once. I really believe that it Sticks in their minds, part of their psyche.
sorry for the little rant.

 

[Tigger & Eeyore]

I read through yesterday's posts and I would go to Hawaii so fast!!!! I want to go there in the worse way. I hear it is unbelievable!

No news from Nancy. I know she received my things per the USPS site, but no news from the sellers. That kind of shocks me how sellers take so long, you would think they would want their money as much as we want our DVC But the waiting continues for us.

Welcome newbies. This is a great thread with tons of support and people in differents parts of the process!!!!! You will be glad you joined us.

As for the 20 page count. Should we come up with the new name now so we can all find each other. Maybe a continuation of the current name with a #2 after it? Just a thought.

Well, little on is hiding behind the door so I know diaper duty is in my future. I know TMI - Gotta run

Great Saturday to everyone

You know, I agree with you. I have heard that so much since we told everyone that we are going. It annoys me because I with you think that what you do with your kids forms who they are whether they can remember it or not. Same is true for how they are treated. They may not "remember it" but they do remember it deep inside and they have so much fun who cares if they "don't remember" It won't be there only trip there.

Love the picture!

There are those people everywhere and I think the biggest mistake we as a society make is giving them their own way because they bi^^h to the right people. That just shows other if you are miserable you get your own way and that is not the way it should be. I hope she goes to Alaska for you and you don't have to deal with her again on Monday

 

[Laxmom]

So what if the kiddos don't remember....you will!!! And the memories will be priceless!

Don't send her to Alaska! I hope to go there someday. Lets send her somewhere like.........Tuligreenubastan!! (That is a bunch a places thrown together that most people will never go!)

Like my new tickers? I have been exploring various Disney sites.

 

[Tigger & Eeyore]

CONGRATULATIONS TAMMY

 

[colonialtinker]

Laxmom - Love the new tickers
Cybertea201 - Who cares, people told me that when I took DD when she was 5, that she wouldn't remember. I still have the memories though.
Tigger & Eeyore - I agree about society. People now know that the squeaky wheel will get the oil.

I'm waiting on DH to finish mowing the yard. It's suppose to rain again today and after 4 days of rain on and off earlier this week the grass or weeds have grown about a foot

I am going to concentrate on happy things to day. Like owning a DVC and my upcoming trip I close on my refi on the 17 and then I hope to get the email that my contracts are ready to close. A girl can dream

 

[minniekissedme]

Hi all...closing is scheduled for Monday...hope it happens. I was eager to get the email yesterday but...

Big weekend here...DS11 and DD8 have their tamburitzan group concert today. DW has duty there before the show and backstage helping with costumes. Huge effort to get 40 kids on cue with the right clothes, instruments, dances. I get to enjoy the show! Big party after!

Tomorrow we party for DS6 who will be DS7 on Monday. Cooking for 30! Have to start prep work on the chicken!

Monday I'll be pooped and hoping to celebrate just once more...

Everyone have a great weekend.

 

[dvcnewgirl]

Sorry for all that are dealing with Aunt Edna's, I am sorry she is visiting and I hope she does not make her way to Williamsburg. I HATE when they say the children will not remember..btw my son has been 4 times and he is 19 months. They might not remember but I do and they are family memories we have. I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

 

[Princess Amy Lyn]

I agree it is more important to go on the trips...

Growing up my parents took us on a lot of trips, some I was very young...I LOVE LOVE LOVE to look at all the pictures still. Sometimes my family will be talking about a certain trip and I will say some memory I had, and my mom will say "how do you remember that you were too young to remember?" I felt like I could remember it plain as day....was it the picture??? was it a memory?? It does not matter....we had great family trips growing up and we felt loved.... and now I want to do the same for our children....

My husband on the other hand can think of one trip in all of his childhood where he went on a vacation with both of his parents...it was always one parent or the other.... I felt bad for him when he told me! SO now we are going to make lots of happy memories for our children as a family....

 

[icouldlivethere]

Doing the single digit dance! We're scheduled to close a week from Monday. I'll be really surprised if it doesn't happen on that day because they've had our money and papers from both buyer and seller for a while now and just waiting for current owners to finish a vacation a week from Sunday.

I have photos and movies of our kids at Disney World when they were young. One movie was taken with DS1 and DS3 and we just had it professionally transferred to a DVD. We watched it with our now DS25 and DS27 and it brought a smile and laughter to all of us. Even though they were too young to remember it they really enjoyed watching themselves in the movies.

We've had many great family memories at Disney World. When my dad was alive and my mother was well enough to still travel we used to all camp at Fort Wilderness. Those are precious memories I will always cherish. For all of you who have parents that are still living and able to travel I hope you are able to take your folks along to your new time share and cherish every last second you are there together.

sorry for the little rant.

I have known some people who can remember so much from when they were little that it's scary. I must admit I'm not that way but wish I were.

Having been one of those little tykes (Disneyland at 2 1/2) I tend to think that I remember the trip although if I really think about it I mostly "remember" it from the pictures and my first mouse ears! I start remembering more at 4 YO - especially a couple real standouts. First - we stayed at my Aunt and Uncles who lived in Long Beach and in the evening after I was in bed we had an earthquake! I didn't even move an inch from my bed until my older cousins came in to check on me. Second - the mean pig came after me at Disneyland and this is proved by pictures. What the pictures don't show was when I squeezed his nose and that started the stalking - that part I do remember! I still don't like that pig though!!!

Somewhere along the line I think it all does sink in because I'm an absolute Disney addict and have always gone whenever I get a chance. Disney was one of the few vacations that happend when I was little so the good memories of us all being together was very important I'm sure to my love of Disney.

So, who cares what others say. You'll have great memories and even if your kids don't remember all the details they'll remember the fun and do a lot of "remembering" thru the pics (I love to look at the ones taken from when I was little, although that was a whole different era and there weren't that many) and the older kids will share memories with the younger ones!

 

[Laxmom]

I just hope I pass ROFR by then!!

Well, another good day for Kings Lacrosse!! JV and Varsity both won again! Laxlad had 2 assists!! And his parents haven't thawed out yet!! It was probably the coldest sporting even that we have attended. The wind made it bitter.

Trying to find rolling duffle bags for our cruise. There will be 4 of us in one cabin and I want to be able to stuff the luggage under the bed. I didn't think it would be so difficult or expensive!

I fessed up on the whole smokey bear fiasco and DH said he would never have known. He could smell nothing. DOH!
