I would like to say hello to the Sorrentino's as well. I hope she is feeling well, it is difficult to carry twins through a hot summer. Hope all is well and they are adjusting to the change of cities and climates.

:rolleyes: Oh, I hope this thread doesn't deteriorate into a debate on whether the OP on the other thread had a right to feel the way she did. Why don't we stick to the OP's topic at hand; a wave and hello to the Sorrentio's...

You have a right to your opinion, but the OP, myself and many others disagree with you. We all have a right to feel however we want. She felt hurt and attacked. I don't blame her.


I was not starting a debate however it seems as you are. I was stating an opinion.

ok, well, I think you are. ;) What's the point in stating an opinion, which differs from The Sorrentino's, in this thread anyway? Other then to debate whether she should have been hurt and should have closed the thread?? :confused3

It doesn't really matter what you or anyone else thinks, it matters what she thought. She was hurt and closed it. She had her reasons. Doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks of what happened. It's such a shame. She was new to the boards and now has been scared away.

And thanks to you my initial concern , as I am a new poster to these boards is now the same as hers. Thank you for making my day. This was my concern before ever posting. It's unfortunate that people have to do this to new posters.

Oh, I've scared you away? Why? You should take your own advice/opinion in your first post:

Just a few posters questioning things, but it was really not a big deal. I don't know why they would have gotten so upset over it. There are alot meaner things said on many threads.

Hopefully, you won't be scared away by a differing opinion then yours...
 
Don't people have better things to do with their time than to even CARE about someone else's life? I'm sorry, but there are a few people here that would be better served to find a life of their own.

My thoughts exactly....

Yes in deed. There seem to be many like that- there are probably many that embellish.
 
Some people do embelish on the internet, I have a single friend that tried internet dating and I was speechless when I heard some of her experiences. :teeth: I guess my feeling about those who discuss their personal lives is that I just accept what they say as the truth. Sometimes, with some posts, I wonder. But I give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I have had a very interesting life, I have worked at a nyc talent agency, as a reporter, and now as a social worker (along the way living in five states and one foreign country). When I tell people I used to work for the agency that represented Dennis Quaid or some other big star they can only half believe me. But it is true. So is the reporting job. But now I am a very comfortable middle aged mother of three that just went back to work as a social worker. It makes no sense at all, but it is my life. If I put it all down in a post I am sure there would many people who thought I was full of you know what. So, when I think..nah..can't be.....I say, well, sure it can!
 
Quite frankly, at the end of the day, why does it even matter? Who cares wheter the Sorrentino's are lying or telling the truth? Does it make your life any better to "call them out?" Are people sitting at home feeling good, thinking to themselves, "Oh yeah, I just called out random people on the Internet who I will never meet and who have no affect on my life whatsoever" and then take a long puff on their cigarette? Give me a break.

I don't care if the Sorrentino's spend $16000 on a Disney vacation or $1600. I don't care if you are a martian or have an ear growing on your foot and I simply can not fathom why it matters to anyone else.

Hop on a plane, hug your kids, take a visit to see the mouse, and just chill. Life is too short to be a prick - in real life or on the Internet.

:worship: ITA!! ::yes::
 
It's not a whole lot different than a lot people you come across in life. You never really know how much of what they say is the truth and how much is just made up to look a certain way. Unless they have an impact on your own life who cares how much fantasy land they want to display. For some people embellishing on here or even just giving their"made to seem" expert advice may be a need thatthey have that is just not fullfilled in their everyday life. It is like a fantasyland to them and may give them that morale boost they need. It makes me wonder by the amount time spent on here. If it is occasional or in streaks that is one thing, but on a regular basis- it makes me sad for them to not have anything to else take up their time.
 
The Sorrentino's----group hug to you :grouphug: I never read the post but get the idea of what happened...Please don't be afraid to come back. Most of the time the DISboard is a fun place to be!! :grouphug:
 
We miss you Sorrentino's!

I take a few days off from reading this board to go take the Bar Exam and my favorite thread disappears! From what I understand the new baby is now two new babies?! Wow and congratulations!!! I think that means definitely a van now - I still vote for the Toyota or Honda (cute, safe, and stylish).

Congratulations and I hope your trip is wonderful!

Well, another thread got somewhat mean-spirited to another poster who was posting about their home remodeling and pics. I don't know if it's because these are people with $$$ or if it's about people feeling the need to "call them out," but it sure is not Disney-like.

Like I stated in my other post it's not like they were hiding their identity or anything. I've been on other boards where people have claimed to be a dr. but wasn't, feigned death or illness to get things from other members, and far, far worse. Cadence and Mark are harmless...rich, but harmless. lol j/k

Now I am just irritated that the thread got deleted because there was stuff I was taking notes on, too, for our vacation.

I particularly liked that thread and TNKBEL's (sp?) which were from 2 extremes - frugal to extravagant.

Ho hum...I'll just chill, too...

Take care, Sorrentino's! :grouphug:
 
:wave:

The original title of this thread was to say hello and give a wave to Mark and Cadence, so HELLO!!!


And just so you know, they thought about closing their thread on other occasions because of negative feedback on both it and on TNKBELL's thread also. Its such a shame because they learned sooo much from the "majority" of friendly Diser's about Disney and I am sure appreciated every bit of it. I have learned so much too and would never think of running someone down on these boards that I don't even know. I would have been hurt by the comments she received as well, might even have scared me away all together. :sad2:

So in closing..... :grouphug:
 
I want to wave hi also

congrats on your twins!!

I went to Disney when I was 24 weeks pg with them :) good luck!
 
I am soooo sad the Sorentinos are gone! I have been away from the boards a few weeks and feel like we have lost a friend. I don't even know if Cadence was able to get CRT for her princesses! I hope so; I was going to offer to call at 7AM for her...

I have been on the board mostly as a watcher. I too enjoyed the Sorentinos thread. Does the term "call out" mean that you are calling a person a liar? I was stunned to see the posters questioning the Sorentinos thread. It seems to me that rude people never see themselves that way. They say what they want without any consideration of the targets feelings and feel completely entitled to say what the choose. Not everyone is of the same financial means and to suggest that if you have money you would not be on the board is ridiculous. I know this as a fact because their lifestyle is not much different then my own and I came to this board for ideas for my own trip in April. It seems that the rude posters are kind of like the school yard bullies, they never think they are wrong-even when everyone else is shocked at what they have said-and they don't apoligize. To the Sorentino's-I hope your trip turns out fantastic and your new life in Texas settles in quickly for you. Hugs!!
 
I am posting here because I am one of the people you are all accusing of "calling out" the Sorrentinos. Just wanted to set the record straight. One poster posted saying something like, are we suppose to believe all this? Another poster said she had been telling her dh about the Sorrentino's and he too doubted the post. I have been reading about the Sorrentino's since the beginning, and even offered advice about their trip. My dh was reading over my shoulder Cadence's latest post about her 1. going to the doctor in the am and discovering she was carrying twins, 2. spending 3 hours in Walmart that same day and 3. moving into her new house also that same day. My dh said no way can all this be true. I then posted on the thread my dh was also a disbeliever and that some people do things differently than others and that if I just found out about twins, I'd have to lie down somewhere! I guess I wanted to clear my name that I wasn't saying anything mean about anyone. I guess people didn't like the questioning of Cadence's life.

I feel bad that she closed the thread, I think it gave a lot of information to others planning trips. Many have said that others were jealous of the Sorrentino's and that's why mean thins were said. Again, I didn't think I was mean, and I could care less how many kids this family has or how much money they have. I think what bothered me is soooo many people were so involved with this family, really going out of their way to give advice and research things for them (as opposed to others who have asked for advice, but because they were looking for budget ideas -5 in a value room, refillable mugs, etc. they were shot down immediately and called thieves and cheaters...). When it was discovered she was pregnant, many gave advice aobut doing WDW pregnant, she didn't respond to those posts, when it was announced she was carrying twins, again others advised her to look into transferring her points for another trip, telling her twins is a shorter pregnancy and she probably wouldn't be able to travel in October - she didn't respond. Then when all those things happened to her in 1 day and someone questioned it, the thread was closed.

Like I said, I don't know what is true and what isn't, I just wanted to clear my name and give my reasons for saying what I said. Sorry this went on so long!

I hold no ill feelings towards the Sorrentino's. I wish them luck with their trip, kids, twins, house, van and whatever else comes into their very busy life. I do hope she posts a report about their trip since so many helped them plan it.

LOL Mom of twins posting! I have twins and then when they were 6 months old I found out I was pregnant again... I was shocked when I found out but I never stopped my life for it (either time)... I still went on doing everything - including moving to a bigger house, including a disney trip when 24 weeks pg with the twins (yes, 5 weeks before they ended up being born but my pregnancy had been uneventful till the day I went into premature labor)... including shopping... etc.
