OK groupies, we expect up to date trip reports, if possible, with pics:thumbsup2
If not, when you get back to reality.
Most of all, have a great trip!!

Stocks dont worry me. I do look every so often just to see what is going on in my portfolio. I tend to buy stocks with historic dividends looking good. This way, when such matters as the last few days take place, my stocks will continue to pay something, anything.;)

But like so many here, I tend to focus on the glass half full. Stocks will come back, slowly, but will come back again. All the while, we can continue having our trips to focus on, and those of our buds here that allow us to share their trips as well.
 
I think we all need a joke. So here goes.

A man found a magic lamp and rubbed it. Out popped a genie who said, "I will grant you one of two things, to be the smartest man in the world or to have the most gold in the world." The man thought for a second and then replied, "I choose being the smartest man." The genie went 'poof' and the man immediately became the smartest man in the world. The man said, "I should have taken the gold!"
 
This time tomorrow I will be at the airport with the people who matter the most in the world to me, on our way to the happiest place in the world! Right off to court to try and win one last trial, then back home to reweigh the cases for about the fiftieth time! I reckon 36 hours from now I should be on that balcony at the lodge:cool1::yay::cool1::yay::cool1::yay::cool1::yay:

Yea!!! Me too! It has been a very busy week but everything is packed and just a few last minute errands to do today.

I hope you have a great flight over.

Kate

Safe travels! Wishing you both magical trips!! pixiedust:pixiedust:pixiedust:pixiedust: Don't forget we love pictures! ::yes::

I LOVE Groupie meets!

We did enjoy ours with you all last December - and it was even more special because of Stan and Carolyn!:thumbsup2

So it goes up, then down, then stubbles over here, and finally rolls there; the market, interest rates, and so on, can drive you crazy (ref: Eliza's comments - Love the word pandominum; well chosen!). And let's not get started on any of our elected leaders. (I don't have enough Tums)

For comfort, I looked at my portfolio of DVC points, and sure enough, they were all still there, every one of them, waiting for me to use, again and again. :cool1:

Aren't we all so smart for anchoring assets into something that gives such great joy; in the planning, in the discussing, and in the doing!

I love hanging out with smart people! :thumbsup2

Ah, the voice of calm and perspective. Everything you say is true and puts a different spin on it all.

I do genuinely love the fact that we can give them something which they will remember for a lifetime and feel that it is so worth it and paid for many times over by the excitement that is already on their faces and the excitement and looks on their faces that I know will be there on Friday when they finally get to experience the pure joy and escapism of Disney and the Villas in particular!

Have a fabulous trip. We took our families back in 2006 using our DVC points - and it was just a great time for everyone. It is one of the "perks" of DVC - being able to share with family and friends. Safe trip and take lots of pictures of faces as they enter the Lodge!

But like so many here, I tend to focus on the glass half full. Stocks will come back, slowly, but will come back again. All the while, we can continue having our trips to focus on, and those of our buds here that allow us to share their trips as well.

Now if more people would just share this philosophy - everything would be in much better shape around here! Again, another voice of calm and reason. :)
 
Hi all :wave:

We had company this past week. My sister (the one who had that life threatening condition this past winter) and my cousin were here. Wow, she is doing great. Still a little residual brain stuff, but for the most part, :thumbsup2.

I am enjoying the chit-chat, new Groupies sharing their excitement, lamenting the finances of our country. Good to be back!

The old guy won preseason tickets to the Philadelphia Eagles last night. I'm not a huge football fan but I do enjoy going to games (especially preseason ones when the weather is warm) and mainly people watching.

And let me tell you, football fans are some of the most entertaining people you could ever watch.

Some times I really do think men have way more confidence than us gals.
Last night in our section was a middle aged gentlemen painted all over green and white, wearing nothing but speedos and a cape and cowl combination.

I totally admired "eagle man". Women would never, ever think to do this, I mean most of us won't leave the house without a little mascara. I still know women still who haven't left their houses without lycra on their thighs since Carter was president. In fact we wouldn't even know where to buy a cape/cowl ensemble.

Yet Eagle man was happily running back and forth in his "leave nothing to the imagination" speedo beloved by all in the section.

Yep, way more confidence.


13 days to go...
 
Awwww man Eliza, no pics?! :rotfl2: Something definitely happens to some men when they attend sporting events. Football especially seems to bring out the most "creativity". ;)

Just gotta love it!
 
:grouphug: So sorry for you Kathy. Your stories of taking care of her, and the different things you did for her were such a blessing to me, as you were no doubt to her. I am praying for your comfort at this time, as well as for your family. Thanks for sharing your news and know that the Groupies love you from afar. People come in and out of our lives, even now in this virtual age, from across the miles and screens, that just touch you - and you have done that for many of us. Life can definitely give us different struggles and challenges, and so often it seems people just don't listen or care when you share things - but know that you have friends here that do care.
My condolences Kathy on the passing of your mother. What a blessing that you were able to be with her in her final days and I wish you peace as you adjust to her being gone. :hug:
Couldnt agree more. :grouphug:
I am also sorry Kathy, for your loss. It was a long battle, and now she is at rest. Know that you are in our prayers. :hug:
Thoughts and prayers go out to you Kathy...:grouphug:
Kathy...very sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers going up for you and your family at this difficult time.
I too am quoting Stopher because I couldn't say it any better than that. My deepest condolences to you Kathy. May the beautiful memories you have of your mom bring you comfort during this difficult time. :grouphug:
Kathy, So sorry for your loss. It was a long hard struggle, but I'm sure she was grateful for your love and support. Take some time for yourself. You definitely deserve it.
Kathy, sorry to hear about your Mom.
Kathy - my deepest sympathies to you on the loss of your mother. May she now rest pain free and in peace.
How eloquent and heart-felt Christopher. I could not write anything more perfect, so I will simply offer my deepest condolences, Kathy. May God bless you and your family at this difficult time. :hug:
Kathy, so sorry to hear about your mother. As so many have said before me, you have beautiful memories of her and that will be a comfort to you. You are in my prayers.
So sorry Kathy to read of your mom's passing. Our prayers go with you and your family as you go through these difficult times.
My deepest condolences and I'm so sorry to read about your mom. You were a wonderful daughter and did everything you could to help her through a difficult time. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.:hug:

I thank each and everyone of you for the thoughts and prayers. It has been hard and some days seems impossible, but we are adjusting. I have not done a whole lot at her house yet. Just turned the internet and the cable off today, but AT&T kept me on hold too long, so that will have to happen next week for the phone. I am slowly getting all the paperwork turned in, just don't know how much more will turn up. Heard from a couple of policies I did not even know about. Momma is taking care of me just like Daddy took care of her. But I would oh so much rather have her back, just without all the pain she was in.

As I had told you before about our heat. . . we were within 1 day of tieing the 1980 record of 42 days in a row of 100+ and we had a "cold front". We never thought any of us would say that 95 felt really cool!!! So anyway today is the start of a new round, and we are still hurting for rain. There are some parts of the state that have received some small showers, but so far none have reached this area. I hope everyone is staying cool and enjoying the rest of the summer before schools go back in session.

Kathy, hang in there, this is a difficult time. Unfortunately the "agencies that be" don't make it easy on the survivors, all the red tape you have to go through. But eventually it will come to pass. You will make it, just keep going. :hug:
 
What..... No posts yet today?
We must all be totally absorbed in the Jim Lewis fired thread.....

Here's hoping our Groupies at the World are having a great visit!


:grouphug: Kathy. It will get easier as time helps to heal your aching heart.

I've been busy refrigerator shopping. :crazy2: Already been to 2 places this morning & heading out again in a bit to Lowes. Think I've got it narrowed down & will likely purchase at Lowes if it's in stock. Sales tax free holiday weekend here in MA & as coincidence would have it my frig seems to be on the fritz again. Good or bad timing depending on how you look at it. We'll likely try to keep the old frig as a spare if we don't have to put too much more $$ into it to get it cooling properly again.

Di - all this talk of groupie meets has me really looking forward to ours in Oct! Can't wait! :yay:

Have a great weekend friends! :wave2:
 
Hello Groupies:

How's everyone doing?
For those traveling "home" soon... have a fantastic vacation! :cool1:Looking forward to your trip reports and photos!

twokats ~ Just take it one day at a time and in baby steps. Going through the paperwork is a difficult task as well as belongings. Each day will get better. :hug:

horselover ~ Good luck refrigerator shopping! :)

Have a great weekend everyone!

Awww. So sweet. It is good to hear from you. :hug:
Can I ask, do you have her kitty? :flower3:
