I have asked Dingbat to contact the LaQuinta and instruct them to communicate with HIM about SSR Florida business.

I assure you that we can handle this on our own.
Our Florida Ambassadors are more than qualified.
Your help is turning into interference!

Dingbat is only a few miles away from the LaQuinta.

I suggest you let us finish the preparations and you and Kim come to Florida and have a good time.
We will be glad to see you.

DICKTATOR!!

Dick, Did you type the above post or has someone hijacked you Fanatic Name?

First of all, If you had a problem with me or what I arranged with the LaQuinta why didn't you send me a pm, email, or call me at home or my cell phone? Why do it this way?

It's not like you haven't contacted me those ways in the past.

March comes first to mind, when I made what myself and many others thought was a rather comical post about an evening at a favorite eating establishment of mine after being blasted in a post by one of your friends following a Daytona function which also wasn't an all SSR Show and I wasn't in a SSR.

BTY, I DID hold the line in June for a lot more Fanatics and lot longer time that that evening...Seems like you were one of the ones I stayed in line for.

You also sent pm's and have called several times to tell me "what to do and not to do"---"AFTER"--- I secured the LaQuinta while Kim and I were in Daytona back in June. Where were You while we were doing that while on Vacation ???
Let me answer that question. You are fine with and are staying at the Hilton.


NOW TO REPLY TO YOUR ABOVE POST :

First Of All, It Is Not Your Place To Dictate Dingbat Or Anyone Else To Contact The LaQuinta And Dictate Them To Comminucate With You, Him Or Anyone Else.

"Florida Business"? I think you have taken this "Dicktator" thing way to far.

It's obvious you are now "NOT OK" I made the LaQuinta arrangements. I didn't know I was required to ask you or anyones permission, and I just didn't see anyone else in Florida making any effort. We just wanted to be on the Beach and be able to watch the Cruise without driving.
I DID keep You and Dingbat informed.

Again it seems I remember you posting you were still staying at the Hilton. It's a real nice place...

I'm almost sorry (but not real sorry) that I have made jokes and light of the fact that someone not from Florida made Beach lodging arrangements.

I'm not pating myself on the back... I'm being myself as in "making fun and wise cracks". Seems I remember you doing that on ocassion.

I'm not hurting myself...sounds like I hurt you but want you to know "I didn't mean to".

The LaQuinta Manager "Called Me". Not You or Dingbat!
Not that you cared to ask me before your above post, but FOR YOUR INFORMATION, I even had to sign a contract with them. Not You or Dingbat!

Just because it is located in Florida doesn't make it Florida business. Others besides me and Kim from other states besides Florida are planning on staying there. I don't have a Dictator nor do I need one!!! Seems like I was at that dinner meeting under the bridge in June. Seems like I stayed in line for over an hour, for you and others.

I Have And Will Continue to take care of the LaQuinta. Thats the arrangement I made with the Manager. Again, Not You or Dingbat!

You and who you "dictate" please take care of the Hilton. The LaQuinta is already taken care of...

My interferrence as you call it is because a few of us wanted to stay on the Beach and not at the Hilton...I had a tough time the last time I stayed there...

I know Dingbat is only a few miles away.
I also know I am more than 500 miles away.
We didn't see or hear from him in June while in Daytona. Since then he has informed me of his absence due to maters beyond his contol. I respect that.

I suggest you finish what you started and let me do the same. I also suggest you send me a pm, email, or call if you still have any problems with me or the LaQuinta. Again, Not You nor anyone else made the arrangements with them.

Dad Gum, I still can't believe you made the above post you did ???

Interference may have been the wrong word.

I for one and I am sure Dingbat would be glad to let you continue your planning of the event.

Dick

Dick, why did you not see this was not the place until "AFTER" my "REPLY POST" to yours?

Who started this? Not Me!

Interference: That was just one of MANY wrong words.

For the humpteen time, All I did was arrange a place to stay on the Beach with a few perks...I'm not planning any events...

Again for the humpteen time, When in Florida we like to stay on the beach and eat seafood.

I'm not going to speak for Dingbat as you are doing.

I have said more than once: He had the idea and started the Thread and I Truly Thank Him...Again.

He was busy beyond his control in June, I believe him and am completely comfortable with that.

One More Time. WE LIKE TO STAY ON THE BEACH AND EAT SEAFOOD WHILE IN FLORIDA.

That's enough and I'm through with you regarding this matter.

Dick

And this is the FIRST I heard about a contract.

Dick,

I tried to stop but you won't let me.

I see you edited your post at 9:45 by adding:
"And this is the FIRST I heard about a contract."

That is incorrect...This is not the first time you heard that, because I have told you before. You replied to me: "You shouldn't have done that but let either you or one of your "ambassadors" sign it."

I asked myself... I said "Self, Where were THEY while I was making the arrangements"?

Again, you have taken this "dictator" thing WAY TO FAR.

This just goes to show you don't really care what I went through to obtain the LaQuinta and I realize now that YOU REALLY DON'T NEED TO KNOW WHAT I DO OR DON'T DO.

We (and at least couple others) are still planning on staying at the LaQuinta unless you "dictate" them not to let us.

I am not the only person to notice you posted after the LaQuinta was in the picture that you were remaining at the Hilton.

I DO NOT REQUIRE OR NEED A DICTATOR!!!

If you don't mind, how about posting the "EXACT" pm I sent you a while ago and ALSO, while at it how about posting the exact pm's you have been sending about me behind my back in the last few days.


I'VE NEVER BEEN A "BEHIND THE BACK" PERSON.

No, I just get these strange little bruises all over me.

[PRPLHZE]

I haven't made reservations yet, but me and my husband were planning on staying at LaQuinta ( thats a great rate for an ocena view room plus thats one of the hotels on our rewards card so we get credit for it)

I hope this is ok.... sounds like there's some controversy?
Please let us know so we don't make reservations there if it has changed as a choice. Coming from Michigan, don't want to be stranded w/out a room!

Thanks

Update on the Dream Cruise site shows a Show and Shine with a drive in movie scheduled for Saturday evening.

Looks like a bunch of you made reservations on the beach. Is anyone still wanting to stay at the Hilton?? I spoke with the manager the other day and knocked our block of rooms down to 15. If we are not going to use them the polite thing to do would be let her know. So whats up?

I am working on the final design for tshirts. They will be Jerzees 50/50. I'll set up another thread for ordering shortly but wanted to give everyone a heads up on this.

Now if Fay finally moves out of here...

Is there going to be t-shirts? I just read a post towards the end that said no t-shirts that its not a rally, but then i saw this that says there will be.

I am a t-shirt ( and a patch) lover as many of my fanatical friends know. I am always the one to ask the t-shirt question in a post.

I hope there will be shirts, if so, please direct me to the thread to order.
I definitely don't want to miss out!!!!

I know I said we where coming down, but I now think we are going to pass on this event.

A large group will be at the La Quinta. No problem with staying there.
Controversy was a bit of difference of opinion with a couple fanatics. All is well.

I ran into a bit of a glitch with the shirts. Should have everything worked out shortly.

Hey Y'all add me to the list I'm not as much fun as Big Ed (Rebel) but I'm almost as big. I signed up so I'll see you in October. :^D

Hope everyone is doing well and looking forward to a Great Fanatic Time.
Surely the rain will be gone by then.



Just received a call from the LaQuinta this morning.


There are only 4 rooms remaining from the original 25 Ocean Front rooms blocked off for us.


If you want one, Ya'll better be "getting on the stick".



Toll Free number for them is: 1-866-841-0060
