This is Nancy (Nanc65093) and Kelly, at Discovery Cove while staying at Vistana Villages. We are WKORV bound on 4/26 and would love to meet other Tuggers while there.

nodge! nodge! nodge!

I could just ban him from TUG until he sends me a picture! :D Or I could find a picture on the internet that I think looks like him, based on personality and posts....yeah....I like that!


Here we go - Nodge in all his glory!

Nodge - This would be a great avatar for you!!!!

Now normally I'd post a picture and all, but if I did, I figure our good friends at SVO would put together some sort of "most wanted" poster, and I'd be doomed to a lifetime of dumpster views and bad service (that is assuming of course, that I'm not already there). To get off the "most wanted" list, I'd end up having to change my level of SVO reporting a bit to be considerably more of an SVO kiss-up.

Plus, I'm shy . . .:rofl:, but our beagle would be more than happy to pose for (or at least chew on) the camera.

Your choice.

-nodge

Regarding my proposed new avatar, I agree that between SVO and me, one of us is the devil. I just dispute which one of us deserves it.

(If I post a picture, I'd have to change this to read . . . "I love SVO. I'm going to buy even more developer purchases from SVO. I hope they build even more resorts, especially in cheaper third world countries, but still charge full price so that I can buy there too! . . . and I'm going to finance them all through SVO. I also love combo convection oven/microwaves, and queen sized beds! Cozy." Boy, that won't get old.)

While normally just as shy as Nodge (but for different reasons - those SVN folk don't scare me!) I'll join the ranks of those brave souls who donated their image to the common good... :)

Really?

Before Starwood, these folks were sleazy, but harmless. With Starwood's help and our money, they are now also very wealthy, which gives them power.

Sleazy people with power are very scary, especially to those who stand up to (or at least point out) their self-serving antics and seek to hold them accountable.

I’m not backing down here. I’m just not going to open my family and myself up to personal inspection and ridicule by such people. SVO Management has done nothing to earn or deserve it.

Now if we all go scuba diving and can get our pictures taken with full gear on . . . that's another story.

Yup. But your point is fully understood. The people behind SVN wouldn't be on my short list for...anything. Then again, I think I can say that about almost any of those who develop real estate of almost any kind...

Nodge-

How about one of those 60 Minutes-style silhouetted shots? Or maybe something in a CIA-type disguise? You gotta give us something!

What a great idea this is. Denise L, I found your picture of you and your family. We just posted about it here.

Grayfal, Pat, why don't you start a similar thread for the Marriott owners too? It would be fun to put faces to their user names too. :)

So has anyone seen nodge's friend to take its picture? Or is the friend still packing the one small suitcase to go to Harborside with the lovely view of the loading dock?

LOL, because I didn't REALLY start this thread, Denise M 'stole' my pictures from another thread and started it - and we don't want to make out TUG mom MAD :ignore:

Besides, the Marriott Owners can't possibly be as good looking as this group :rolleyes:
