it's 3 or 4 times a day! Plus, I get mail three times a week. I gave my time share to a family member who wanted it, even though I warned them what a mess it was. He's trying to get out of it now, and I feel awful. The "management companies" are so far removed from the time share properties....they are an extortion racket. They jack up the "assessments" and "dues" every year, and then leave the properties in poor order.

The lawmakers in washington are too busy trying to screw kids out of their breakfast money to worry about some good capitalist corporation screwing everyone.
