Uncle....uncle....(What the heck does Uncle mean?)
I was wrong – I apologize to everyone for my error.
I finally figured out what I had read – I crossed two stories a year ago and assumed the second story was related to the first – my error.
The original article in March 9, 2001 was about Ski Side Village the second article I read in Jan of 2007 was for another project that I mixed up with the previous article from 2001.
Thank you, LadyCody, for finding the second, totally unrelated article that I now remember reading. No wonder I couldn’t find the article. Thanks Dave for the research.
So there are some timeshare owners (have no idea how many) that have lost their usage of their deeded timeshare. Nearly 4% of the US households own a timeshare, 4,400,000 in 2006 I don’t know the percentage but I’m guessing it’s very very small.
Ok, so now to settle up the bet:
That’s a total of $5.44.
I guess I could award this to the winner (You’d pick the winner) but that would be a waste of money.
Instead, I’ve taken the liberty to donate $25 to my favorite charity the USMC’s Toy’s for Tots.
That way TUG will make one more child’s eyes open with wonder this holiday season who would normally have not. I found no way to say the gift was from TUG, so we will just have to remember it ourselves.
I’ve attached the PayPal eMail confirmation.
The great thing here is that the $25 came from my PayPal account that I use for renting timeshares! Some other non-timeshare person paid for my bet - is this great or what!
Hope this settles my debt to everyone’s satisfaction.

Ok, so now to settle up the bet:
- A single glazed Krispy Kreme costs 84¢ with tax at my nearest store.
- To send it USPS Priority Mail would be $4.60 for a Flat Rate Envelope (I believe the donut would fit in it)
That’s a total of $5.44.
