The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[HolidayRoad]

Hey, Albert. I never asked you if you rode Rockin Roller Coaster for me!!

Of coarse I did!! I got on the ride and right before the light turned green I yelled out "This one's for Gretchen!!!!

We are so going to confuse our new buddies!

Bill and U2...good luck...

I received the AK add on...it's the same pricing they have been offering, $8 discount. My answer is a resounding NO! My #%) is enough.

Ed or is it Gillette today...here's a link to Kennywood's site, http://www.kennywood.com/# If you find it of interest at any time, let me know and I'll be glad to help. There are always discount tix available...I think $22 is the discount price this year. And yes, PNC park is THEE best ballpark in the US.

A reminder for those of you still interested in voting for John, today is the last day! The vote tally has been removed from the website but the last we knew he still has a comfy lead. Thanks for your help.

Thanks, for the link and the offer of the discount tix. I will definitely keep that in mind. Oh and as for best parks there's FENWAY PAAAK and there's the rest. You can't compete with the GREEN MONSTA!!!!

My kids love that ride and I can't wait to try it. I was pregnant last time I was there so all I could do was watch them have fun. I love coasters!

I really doubt your guide hates you. How could anyone hate you? Your personality prevents anyone from hating you. Look how much everybody on these boards missed you while you were gone!!

Your sweet, that's very nice of you to say . I wonder how important the guide really is, I'm sure in the beginning they are very helpful but I suppose after a while you really don't need them all that much..unless you need to add on.

That reminds me I really need to add on, ASAP, I want 60 more points! Why, I'm not real sure but it must be 60.

It distracts from the anxiety of ROFR!

 

[Laxmom]

That is the one ride I insist on riding more than once. I am not a roller coast nut but I LOVE that one! Now, DH and I ride that while the kids do TofT and then do it again when they get off of that one. I like Space Mountain and I really like Big Thunder but there is something about Aerosmith and a rollercoaster........I just love it!

I think it may very well be my favorite ride at WDW. Probably won't get to ride it on either trip this year. I think I have been over ruled on what parks we are doing. Oh well. I will sacrafice somehow...

....and estopple.......and closing.......waiting to get in the system........waiting for points................

 

[minniekissedme]

Hey Laxmom...I was out with a client yesterday...cruising the streets and I saw a car parked in a driveway with PA plates LAXMOM3. Made me think of you immediately!

 

[Laxmom]

Love it!!!! I would have probably gone for that one but the 68 Mustang has vanity plates on it - shesa68 - and that is expensive enough. If I got that plate, DS would want Laxlad, then I wouldn't have any money left for DVC points!!!!

Guess you has addonitis, guess you has addonitis!!! That didn't take long HR!!!

Its A Beautiful Morning (LA LA LA)
Hey all....Day 22 of Estoppelwaiting and nothing! LM-when did you ROFR?? How many days have you been waiting. I don't want to go back and search...those of you who are already past this...how long did you wait for this?? It seems like it has been a little long!

Ed-I had a Chargers Hat on...but, in my own defense..I had Charger season tickets my 1st year of marriage...and our guests were not treated like that around me. By the way it was a very sweet stadium...it will be real nice when all the shops and food places are in.

Gettysburg-I have been quite a few times with my DH..his grandparents lived near Hershey. We had met a couple on our honeymoon cruise who live close to Gettysburg. So the man gave us a tour when we visited...he grew up in Gettysburg and is a scholar on the area...it was the best tour I have ever had...he knew everything, every bullet hole in the buildings, facts, stories..I can't wait till the kids are a little older we are going to rent a motorhome and travel the East coast and hit all the Civil War Sites.

We passed on 4/14. We are taking a side trip on the closing DVC road thru an attorney in SC. We were notified by GMAC the week we passed that the attorney had contacted them and had our paperwork. I got the impression that he was an attorney that is contracted with Disney to do whatever it is he is supposed to do according to SC law. Then a week later, I got an email from the closing company in SC introducing themselves as doing our closing. They said we were "tentatively" scheduled to close on 5/13. I would think that I would be getting some more information in about a week if this is to happen on time. We'll ee......tick......................tick.................tick

Well see, that's the problem, the chargers hat. After a couple of years ago when LT and the boys cried after getting beat by the Pats a lot of people around here don't really care too much for the chargers. I mean they do talk a good game but...


I'm sorry, I shouldn't do this here I don't want to be the one starts the bad karma on here. Its A Beautiful Morning (LA LA LA) I have to think happy thought like you do. It doesn't matter what I or anyone else thinks of a particular team, you don't treat people like that and since I represent New England on this thread, I want to offer you our most humble apology and please understand not all of us are like that, you are more than welcome back here anytime wearing any team hat you wish.

Good morning! Looks like we have some additions to our "family"! Good luck with your contracts!



I got this too. We won't be taking "advantage" of it.

Ed - Our guide is Nick Tamberrino and he's great. He's a southern kind of guy and very helpful.

Hi Cheryl, forgive my ignorance, what do you mean by "southern kind of guy" I'm from the north and without trying to restart the Civil War, that could be taken many ways, to us. There's the image of Atticus Finch, one of my favorite literary characters, if that is what you meant then I'm all for that but then there's that whole Deliverance thing too that makes us northerners a little nervous.

You know when I first traveled in the south and being from up north you have stereotypes of how you think people will be, what I found was far from it. I expected, a lot more "southern hospitality" a little more laid back, polite and well mannered maybe it wasn't fair going in with those thoughts, but I really found people are all basically the same some good some not so good. Y'all just talk funny, that was the only real difference I could find.

LOL! Your idea of "southern hospitality" is Nick....laid back, not pushy, polite and just an all-around nice guy. He even has a little bit of the accent! I think he's been a guide for 11 years.

 

[Laxmom]

"Ya'll just talk funny....." sorry. I couldn't resist. I have a question for you guys who have a "regional dialect". Do we midwesterners sound as funny to you as you do to us? Just curious if it sounds like we have an accent. I never thought to ask anyone before.

Do you notice how I am staying out of the football discussion? Have you ever wondered why there are stripes on the Bengals uniforms? What, 9 arrests last year? And this year, so far, one suspended player is reinstated from legal trouble and another is let go because he was arrested yet again.

To me anyone who pronounces his or her "r"'s at the end of a word sounds funny to me. It just seams like way to much effort to do that when your almost done with the word anyway. I find people pick right up on my accent where ever I go. I love the sound of a southern drawl and no football coach sounds cooler than when they have the drawl going and throw in some of that southern humor, I just think that's awesome. I was at a Coaching Clinic a couple of years ago when this old southern coach stood up and very politely tore apart this young coaches theory on blocking technique. When the young coach pointed out how the block had worked on a particular play he was showing the reply, with the drawl was just priceless to me. "Yes sa, but even a blind squirrel 'll find a nut every once in a while". I wish I was that cool.

 

[Laxmom]

Here in Ohia, many change that last letter from an o to an a. I'm the weird one; it is Ohioooooo to me. They do it with the "i" at the end of Cincinnati also. It then becomes, Cincinnata.

Working on my final....ugh! I'd rather be Disney dreamin'! (Notice how I dropped the g, Ed. Just for you! )

 

[Princess Amy Lyn]

you are more than welcome back here anytime wearing any team hat you wish.

Thanks Ed....lets start a new group "nice fans"
By the way after going to that game...sorry I went for the Giants in the SB.
It looks like you guys got some good players in the draft. We had a weaker draft year, but I think we still have a strong team for the coming season. I love football!!! I can't tell you had bad I want to go to London for the Saints and Chargers game in Oct. Football and a little shopping at Libertys and Harrods...what more could you ask for????


I went and looked back on an email from Gmac and they said it was more like 4 weeks for the Estoppel stuff...ok I will patiently wait 6 more days (4 hours and 22 seconds).

Ed, I'm willing to bet I'd have a hard time understanding your accent..

I just rented "Gone, Baby, Gone" and had to watch it twice because I couldn't understand the heavy Boston. It was like watching the "Full Monty".

Yes, my Bernard is the same as your office neighbors. I've already left him a message this morning and he's already called back.

Did anyone see AI last night? What is up with Paula? Is she drunk, or has she had a stroke or something?
