[ 2020 ] Tuggers I don't see posting any more? Where are they?

[jme]

Also there's Beaglemom3.

She lived in Boston but moved to Ireland to live her dream----a bucolic hillside cottage that should be a calendar photo!
We met her about 10 years ago on a trip to Boston, our first, and she drove us around the countryside and spent the day with us.
A most gracious and sweet lady. She was a nurse (RN) and also an attorney, and loved to travel---she loved France.
Tried to contact her several times but to no avail.
Jeanne, where are you????

 

[SmithOp]

How about ones we wish would stop posting?

oh wait, thats my ignore list…

She is out there somewhere! Her TUG profile shows she last visited on July 20, 2021.

I can assure anyone who is interested that I am not the same person as TUG PerryM. Neither was I ever a Wyndham attorney or a current or past Employee of Wyndham. I must, though, strike a certain conspiratorial cord with the Wyndham Mega Renters and ex-Renters.

I learned a lot from PerryM's posts back in the day about using my WorldMark membership to exchange through Interval International for unbelievable ski vacations during New Years. I vaguely recall posting about send him 100 bucks "thank you" if I knew his address. His advice, for me, was worth more than 10 times that.

I also learned a ton from PerryM, but I no longer own Marriott. I saw him on facebook many years ago, but not even sure if he is still alive now. He was a snowboarder (not skiier) and he also bought a 4 bedroom Elara (when it was westgate) and I often think about that when I am at Elara (as a Hilton member). I wanted to buy WorldMart after reading his posts, but decided it was too much work.

BocaBum99 did move to Hawaii and I am not sure what happened to him, but he was a bluegreen guru.

SteamboatBill was a huge DVC owner/megarenter and I have seen him on some DVC sites and his posts were always funny, but I guess he pissed off too many tugers. In fact, I bought DVC points based on some of his analytics and I can easily sell for a profit thanks to him and other DVC members posting how easy it was to buy and rent DVC.

Not sure about the others....

If one was PerryM, we certainly wouldn't expect them to admit it...

Wow, that's the first sign of life in a long time! I looked a month or two ago, and nothing! Thanks, I'll check it out.

Jeanne posts on another site where some of the "ladies" have gone. She's still around, but I haven't seen her posting much here.

I am Facebook friends with @Beaglemom3 - as far as I know all is well with her. Still in Boston/Ireland

Kathy Q passed away in 2018.

Fern, DaveM and KathyQ were the TUG leader of several TUG Group cruises I put together.

It has been some time since we did a group cruise. Not sure when cruising will be recovered enough to try it again.

I believe Bocabum is timesharing in heaven now.

Oh, no, really? I thought he was a pretty young guy. Sad to hear.

 

[rapmarks]

I thought he was young too. Hard to find an obit under his tug name

 

[rapmarks]

Conch Man passed away. He was a great guy. I didn’t know how to do an avatar, and he put Anika Sorenstam picture up for mine. When I met Lauren2 , she was expecting someone younger and blonder.

Yeah - I was thinking of The Conch Man, not BocaBum99. My mistake.

Pam Fuller has been in touch with Emmie the last 6 months.
She is no longer on the internet

A longtime member we lost who was the queen of RCI sightings and worked with @BocaBum99 is @lawren2

Many friends here @joycapecod and @IreneLF and @Avery and @wackymother and @happymum and @mpizza and @sydney and @jackio and @chriskre

Thanks for the tip. I touched base with Pam on Trip Advisor and she said she hasn’t been in contact with Emmy in quite a while. Emmy changed her phone numbers and isn’t using the internet anymore either. I tried and hope she and Peter are doing well. Maybe we will get lucky and bump into them in Laguna Beach.

Best regards.

Mike

I'm still here although I Don't post anymore.
I rarely travel out of South and Central Florida either, so I don't do much in the way of fancy exchanges anymore.
It's just boring Orlando and South Florida beach exchanges. Stuff that's fairly easy to get thanks to what I learned
here on TUG.

I'm more active on Facebook because most of my e-commerce and support groups are there. I wish I had the
time and the health to continue to travel but life got in my way. Sigh.

Great to "see you" - I think you posted on the DISBOARDS too. I think you have DVC too or exchanged into it often?

Wishing you good health and more traveling even if it's mostly in Orlando. Stop by here once in a while

I miss the argumentative, pompous, polarizing, condescending diatribes that only @jarta (aka”Salty”) could deliver. He was a Chicago attorney that passed away several years ago, and had a love hate relationship with Vistana, and this bbs. He would start fights just because he enjoyed fighting it out behind the keyboard, IMO. No one else has ever made my ignore list, yet.

 

[DeniseM]

I didn't know jarta passed away (or I've forgotten!) - how did you find that out? He got sent to Band Camp in 2013.

 

[dioxide45]

Not sure what happened to @Sea Six? Hasn't been seen or posted on TUG since January.

I thought for sure I read it on here in a vistana thread

 

[DeniseM]

It could be - as I tell my kids: I lost that brain cell!

 

[DeniseM]

He still visited TUG occasionally in 2014 and 2015.

He was brilliant. And salty.

Just refuting the conspiracy theory from the source.

I have no interest in Marriot Vacation Club, unlike PerryM. I do not recall that he ever posted in the Wyndham Forum, so there is that circumstantial evidence against the conspiracy theory.

What inquiring minds really want to know is where joestein came up with his conspiracy theory that somehow I am PerryM of old? That would be a hoot.

Perry still posts. I think he is CoSkier or something like that.
