I tell my kids that all the time; maybe you, Mr. Salesman, need to go back and remember what your dear Mama taught you!<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed your timeshare stay at least - we've taken advantage of a few of those, and are getting better at convincing the guys we really mean, "NO!"Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17532625642319909028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3532908409154044407.post-86505346627758202482010-06-01T13:23:30.440-04:002010-06-01T13:23:30.440-04:00Now that's funny, I don't care who you are...Now that's funny, I don't care who you are!!! You hit that nail on the head. Sounds like you got a good deal. We sat through one of those wretched presentations and all we got was dinner and a carriage ride. I guess you could say there was some slight entertainment value there if nothing else though. Thank goodness we didn't have our kids with us though...I'd just as soon poke myself in the eyes with forks.Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03910017620708515641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3532908409154044407.post-78419146912231093852010-06-01T12:05:18.608-04:002010-06-01T12:05:18.608-04:00Oh my!

So we were trying to get out of there to go to our first day of Disney World, and it was a nightmare!!! We had similar slick-guy experiences, too, and then the whole 'calling in a manager' thing, it was horrible.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10702958291049563341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3532908409154044407.post-15327494157960754852010-05-31T08:01:55.842-04:002010-05-31T08:01:55.842-04:00I went to one of these and the guy told me to be a...I went to one of these and the guy told me to be a man and make a decision for myself.
