woke up in a gambling mood/Passed ROFR 7/11

[DizBub]

Well, the battle rages on into Day 27 with still no news. Feeling i have this fight won, the monkey is chasing, tired, throwing useless drunken haymakers while i duck and move, schuck and dive. Just awaiting the final bell and the celebration will be on

You should hear tomorrow. We heard the good news on day 28.

Fingers crossed.

The longer it takes the better. I think your odds have moved a lot higher than 50-50.

Good luck tomorrow or Thursday if they drag it out to the very end.

Just to recap...

You came out all loud and proud, taunting the monkey and basically daring him to ROFR your contract.

Then a bunch of ROFRs happened and you got scared, so you tucked tail to run and hide.

Now, without an final decision on your contract, you are back taunting the monkey again.

I find your lack of consistency troubling, Mike. What is it they say about counting chickens?

I don't know how to count chickens before they hatch, I see the first egg and my mind races and immediately wonders....... what came first? And I remain fixated on egg one



The fact is I was going away when I went silent, and from that point on, I, just like the monkey, have remained in a semi-conscious state. Today just happens to be the first day back in the swing of my semi-real life, and trying to restore some order and direction to my affairs

 

[fmer55]

Well let's see what happens, had an offer accepted at OKW 55pp will post details once contracts are signed. Went a bit higher than i would have before the spat of ROFR.

ok here are the details

90 OKW jun UY $55pp 2012 180pts 2013 90, buyer pays closing and split maintenance(buyer pays $156)

I truly think i have a 50/50 shot.

Asking 60, offered 55 on friday, off to ROFR today

Down goes the monkey

Looks like those banked points are going to ensure my march 25-29 add on trip

Congrats Mike! Glad to hear someone got the better of that monkey!

Now we both own at OWK and VWL, party time!

No, No, I own BWV and OKW, but my focus will now turn to VWL, i really want to own there for christmas trips. I believe this one will be hard to come by because i am going to try to match up with one of my other UY's. Don't want to have 3 seperate UY and will also be searching for something in the 100 point range. Those 2 things may make it very tough to find, but will be patient due to the fact that i am now planned out until Feb 2014

Congrats on passing, Mike. Now can you go back into silence until you find a VWL contract?

The hunt for what i want at VWL may be harder than slaying the monkey

And as for silence? No chance, have to spend alot of time in the real world making money. The Winter of Disney trips begins in a mere 3 months and those Southwest flights are out of control

How does that relate to silence? well what better way to pass the time at work than surfing the boards

Why are you worrying about Southwest? If you're on the island, can't you just take Jet Blue out of JFK or Laguardia?

I am 10 minutes from ISP, as well as a resident of the town of ISP. Town residents park for free. About 40 minutes to LGA or JFK and 4 night parking about 100 bucks. Takes me 20 minutes from my front door, park , through security and at the gate at ISP. About 1:10 to the NYC airports IF no traffic. Also wife is a teacher, the majority of our trips we leave on a wed or thur and pick her right up from school. Prime traffic times towards the airports. If a southwest flight is $50 bucks more than Jet Blue or Delta it pays in peace of mind to fly from ISP.

I'm the same way, in southwestern CT. So we pay more to fly out of White Plains every time just for the convenience.

The ease and peace of mind are so worth it, but the prices are up about 35% across the board on 3 different trips that i am taking that are the same exact as last yr. Oh well, you play you pay

We only fly out of MacArthur also!! NYC is too far for us, we live all the way out east. I was just checking Southwest for flights for Feb and they have really gone up. Two new airlines are coming in though, Alaskan Air and i forget the other one.

Last yr feb8-12 was 201pp round trip. Same trip, Feb 6-10, same flights this year is $329. The nice thing is that you can rebook once they go down and get the credit. We are doing 4 trips this yr so as long as the prices aren't out of control it is worth to check every day, they always change, often within the same day

You need to get back into training. That monkey won't be easy to beat twice. Six raw eggs for breakfast and 200 push ups per night... ADRIAN!!!!
