Location: ranson,wva | got robbed last night walking home from the bank. i withdrew my money for the tour and to get my prescriptions. called the police they said there isnat much they could do. so im out about $650.00.
its not the end of the world but it does make me sick because im on a fixed income anyways but i had been saving for the past 4 months...oh well waht do you do?? i gotta call amtrack and try to get that money refunded and call homewood and cancel my room because i cant afford to come now...im gonna try to borrow enough to pay for my room from my family if i can but if i cant then im defintly not gonna be able to come...jason |

Location: Boise, Idaho | That just makes me mad, Jason. So sorry to hear that. I hope you're alright. When we went over to Spain to visit my daughter, we met another family who had barely got out of the airport when the Mom had her purse stolen. Being robbed at the start of a vacation is just maddening. |

Location: Marlton, NJ | Jason - no problem. I'm really looking forward to this trip. I just got back from a customer conference in Hershey, PA. It was relatively uneventful until today. There was an internal sales meeting right after the conference and my closest buddy in the company got laid off right before the meeting. We both started at the same time, covered the same products, started in the same company together after college 22 years ago and so on. I'm a little nervous myself... |

We are not the only guests that use the lobby.

Location: Hicksville, NY | Sorry to hear about the unfortunate event Jason. On the bright side, it's good to hear that you're going to make it to the tour. Phil is a really nice guy, and he's the type who will go out of his way to help out in any way possible. You can quote me on that for he happens to be my neighbor. :) Even though we rarely meet, I know that I can count on him when I need his assistance ... come to think of it, he provided me with the driving directions to get to the factory from my home! LOL
I'll see you at the tour! |

I can put in whatever amount, plus about $2.50 processing fee. Since it's a credit card, I make all kinds of purchases ... even on-line! Should a thief gets into it, the amount in the card is all he/she could steal.
Just a thought ... |
