Anyone else have anymore pics or stories?
Love the dirty rugby player.
Another day, another chance to not wear underwear.
Its hotter when its not "Sexually Intended" lol
Like when a straight guy is being a goof n pulls his pants up to show his junk!
Or when areal up-shorts moment happens!!
Ya deff man...when you see the guys doing it like to elevate their self esteem and their sexuality kicks in...smh totally kills it for me...
I seen soem college dudes I mean these guys are BIG BODIES Guys! Maybe have a gut sometimes but they dont giva a fuck they are drunk n their junk falls out and their like so fucken what!! lol
Freakin awesome!! Its that cockyness that makes it worth the while...not the IM TRYING TO ATTRACT State of mind that really well at least for me totally sucks...
upshorts pics
more upshorts pics
I hate to pop anyone's fantasy bubble, but whenever a man lets his junk show, whether he is "straight" or not, he always knows just what he is doing, and it arouses him sexually! If you think "he just doesn't care" and if that fantasy gets you hard, enjoy! But when a guy shows it off, he knows what he is doing and he likes it! Exhibition is actually an extremely common desire, and many men have discovered it. Now with all these cams, lots of guys of all ages have become hooked on the pleasure of showing off their stuff while other guys watch -- it is a very addictive pleasure, and the more the exposer is aroused by showing off his hard cock, the more I enjoy watching! I get a vicarious pleasure, since I know just how much pleasure the man is feeling when lots of guys are watching his hard cock shoot its load.
And, YOUR pics? Please? PLEASE??
Keep smilin'!!
WISDOM is the Knowledge you've gained ... After you could have used it! _Me
Yeah i've only lately got into freeballing in a big way.
Im always free balling on stage with my band. All the headbanging and jumping around it hard with undies on =D
Love those ballas peeping!
When I was 14 and in my first week in high school, we were all gathered for our first boys PE class, sitting on the grass with hands clasping our knees and a hot boy caught me looking up his shorts (I could see one ball and the end of his cock and was transfixed)--he lost no time in yelling out that I was looking up his shorts. I learned the hard way that you have to be discreet. The rest of high school wasn't fun.
I try to freeball whenever possibly and try to open my shorts legs when I sit down so guys can see. I'm bi but really only like to show guys my goods like this. My favorite is when I stop by my McDonalds here in town and sit in the swivel chair with my junk in 180 degree view of other men. I've never come across another guy I thought was purposely showing but would love it!
Bump!!! Bump!!! Bump!!!
This one has to be staged.
The joys of being in a college full of sporty guys! (baseball shorts)
I use to love to hang with my neighbor growing up. He use to wear the short shorts (in style at the time) and we would play cards, etc on their coffee table and sometimes he would sit on the edge of the couch and there would usually be a sac peeking out. Its enough for me to still remember after all this time.
He got that thickness, the kind that make you get up makin' biscuits with breakfast, so gone - Jill Scott - So Gone
WOW... That sounds so damn sexy
I'm a huge advocate of freeballing, I freeball every day, and my dick is a very nice size, so everyone will notice. On days off I exude a bit of an urban appeal, so it contributes to my "i don't give a fuck" allure. I'll wake up in the AM, from sleeping nude, bruth my teeth, smoke a blunt, shower, toss on some revealing clothes (wife beater & sweatpants/gym shorts) and walk around handling my business, or drive to certain locations and let it swing for the guys to see.
Does it turn me on when women notice? Yes, because I know they want me to fuck them. However, it turns me on more when a guy notices, because I know I would actually fuck him. I indulge in exhibitionism; i'm a sexy guy and I enjoy others being turned on by my choice of style and what lies beneath. I masturbate in public places, this morning I jacked with my fleshlight in my car and busted 2 very good nuts inside. People were walking past my car, looking, and I didn't care nor mind... Tonight i'm going to a bar with my friends and i'll be freeballing there also, i know some lil sexy bottom is going to want it, and he'll get it... ;-)
Fancy tossing the kabber?
Kilts are fucken hot!...Never know what to find under one
The first time I ever saw this in real life was also the moment that I realized I was bi. My stepdad was sitting on the edge of the couch, nuts hanging LOW! I have still never seen a nicer set of balls. Love this group!

Oak Forest senior accused of fondling teen
BY RUMMANA HUSSAIN Criminal Courts Reporter email@example.com January 29, 2013 3:43PM
Updated: January 29, 2013 5:15PM
A 76-year-old Oak Forest man fondled a minor on the CTA's Orange Line and masturbated in front of another teenager, Cook County prosecutors said Tuesday.
"Lies," William Papagianis muttered as he stood before Cook County Judge Donald Panarese Jr. Tuesday.
Earlier this month, on Jan 8., a 15-year-old old was standing up on the train with her sister when she felt fingers touching over her school uniform pants, Assistant State's Attorney Joell Zahr said.
Fifteen to twenty seconds later, the girl felt fingers rubbing over her buttocks. At that point, she turned around and saw Papagianis standing behind her, Zahr said.
The girl pushed Papagianis and told him to stop touching her before he sat back down, Zahr said.
The sisters got off the next stop and immediately told police, but the train left and officers couldn't get on to question Papagianis, prosecutors said.
An alert was activated and Papagianis was captured on camera, Zahr said.
The sisters identified Papagianis when he was arrested for a similar incident on Monday.
In that pending misdemeanor case, Papagianis allegedly masturbated in front of a 17-year-old girl as he sat across from her on the Orange Line.
Papagianis was making "hissing" noises as the girl to get her attention, a police report said.
The girl pushed the emergency button on the train and got off as Papagianis did, the report said.
A witness saw the girl crying and flagged down police who apprehended Papagianis, authorities said.
"That's a lie too," Papagianis said in a heavy Greek accent when Zahr detailed his arrest this week.
Papagianis blurted out in court that he is a former restaurateur and claimed to be good friends with the late George Halas.
"I know Papa Bear Halas. He was a good friend of mine. He and the Bears used to eat at my restaurants," he said.
Panarese ordered Papagianis held in lieu of $1 million bail for an aggravated sexual abuse charge related to the Jan. 8 incident.
Papagianis currently has a pending felony for harassing a witness in Maywood, Zahr said.
He was arrested in 2007 for grabbing a woman's knee and masturbating in front of her at Midway Airport, Zahr said.
The next year, Papagianis was arrested for masturbating in front of a CVS employee.

photos Brunch at Saks
This post originally went up on December 9, 2011 but I thought it would be fun to share once more since it's such a quick & easy way to wrap presents for the holidays. I used kraft paper on the gift in the photos, but don't be afraid to recycle and reuse that paper bag from your trip to the grocery store! The gold ribbon was purchased at Joann's and it's still available here (this stuff is a steal at $1.19!).
Wrapping a present for any occasion can be the most tedious part of the entire gifting process, which is why I tend to lean toward simple wrapping techniques to save time, money, and my sanity during the busy holiday season. As a base, I prefer basic kraft paper, allowing the added elements to really stand out. For this gift I chose a left over strand of glitter ribbon, which I cut into two pieces, wrapping each one individually around the gift (creating a cross) and securing in the back with tape. To finish, I placed the bow (DIY below) in the center. From start to finish this took about 5 minutes, a small victory in the game of gift wrapping.
1. Start out with an 8-inch piece of ribbon. Loop one end up and over to the center. Secure with double-sided tape. 2. Repeat with opposite end. 3. Place bow on the center of a 3-inch piece of ribbon. Wrap ribbon up and over bow, creating the "knot." Secure with tape. 4. Voila. Use on gifts or anywhere a little pizazz is needed.

URGENT: changing AWD to 2WD
Posts: 2
in Subaru
1997 Subaru Impreza sedan...Can you safely change AWD to 2WD? How? Does it increase fuel efficiency and/or performance?
w8ifi Posts: 78Removing the fuse to make it a 2wd is only meant to allow you to get to a place where you can get your car serviced due to a tire failure or some other drive train problem.. I think your manual limits it to about 50 miles maximum. Extended use will result in very costly repairs. Your mileage will not be noticeably affected because your are still hauling the rear wheels and the corresponding weight.
Check your manual.

pj43 Posts: 9Call me dumb I guess, I had some problem getting stuck in the snow last week when I was near Canada, only the RF wheel was turning, I was tottaly baffled. I went on line @ ANSWER.COM, a tech. said that my vicuios cloupler was bad, I said how is that possible it drives fine, no noise. I have had the 1997 Subaru outback for six years never notice if I did or did not have AWD. There is NO FUSE in the fwd box, I guess it never had one. Can anyone figure this out?
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,738The center differential is a series of clutch packs. If they're worn out and are just slipping against one another rather than grabbing, you won't get any power to the rear wheels. I am not sure that you would get noise. It is not unheard of for the center differential to go out.
No fuse in the FWD box is good - if you put a fuse in there, it activates a solenoid in the center differential that decouples the rear.
Perhaps put the car up on jack stands and put it in gear to see if you get any spinning out of the rear wheels with no resistance on them. If working at all, all four wheels should spin.2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon

An organic lawn or garden starts with healthy soil. Natural fertilizers promote the growth of beneficial bacteria, earthworms, and fungi that build soil structure and foster healthy plants.
The best fertilizer for your lawn and garden is homemade compost, made from food scraps, lawn clippings, and fall leaves. If you still need store-bought products, here are a few tips:
Compost and Soil Improvements: Commercially made compost has high levels of naturally occurring phosphorous and nitrogen that is released gradually and is absorbed more easily by plants. Other soil improvers, such as worm castings, Epsom salts and decomposed organic matter called humates, add nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Watch out for commercial fertilizers, even those labeled "organic," that contain harmful ingredients, such as animal byproducts or sewage sludge. Animal byproducts, such as bone meal or fish meal, may have come from industrial farming operations, and sewage sludge, could be contaminated with diseases or heavy metals.
"NOFA Approved" and "OMRI Listed": The Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) and the Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA), an accredited certifying agency for the USDA National Organic Program, approve products that have been composted according to USDA Organic standards. The only synthetic materials that can be added to NOFA approved compost are those allowed in organic crop production.

How You Can Get a Huge Number Of Free Instagram Followers
Getting followers for free is possible?
Many businesses and individuals have discovered the power behind social marketing. Instagram for instance has garnered a lot of popularity with photos and images enthusiasts. Instagram provides a platform where individuals can share their world of creativity with their followers all over the world. It is one of the social sites with a huge number of active users as of today.
Apart from socializing, business people have developed mechanisms to tap this traffic brought about by social sites to champion online campaigns for their products. The only secret to their success lies behind attracting huge number of followers to their accounts. So for any individual or business with interest in online marketing, they need to learn few tricks on how to get free Instragram followers for successful online campaigns.
How to get free Instagram users?
Increasing the number of Instagram followers can be very easy only if you learn and understand a few things.
· Make your posts regularly.
This is one trick that is very crucial for any online campaign to be successful. Your Instagram followers need to get fresh content every time they visit your profile. By creating new content regularly, you are able to develop a center of attraction for new followers. Remember that a huge percentage of Instagram followers are passive. The only thing they do is to log in and look at what other users have posted. The only way to attract such people is by posting captivating content to give them the urge to visit your profile more and more.
· Take support of other social networks
Instagram does not work in isolation. There are other social networks that work with and compete with Instagram. You can utilize these sites to market your Instagram account to boost the number of Instagram followers. If you are beginning a new business, then you need to get your content to as many people as possible. Share the best of the photos and content and you will be shocked with how the number of your followers will increase.
· Instagram followers tool
If your online campaign is successful, you may end up with a huge number of Instagram followers. Like for any other business, these are your potential clients and therefore you need to retain them. You need to track every follower and probably know them at a personal level. You can easily achieve this by using Instagram followers' tool. These tools enable you to track your email notifications, likes received, comments and the number of followers. From such statistics, you can track the most active followers for targeted marketing the next time you launch a new product.
New Playstation 4 features in 2015
The PlayStation has long been regarded as the most popular gaming console in the world. And with the fourth version of it, Sony seems to have introduced a new postmodern gaming console. Essentially, the Play station is a refreshing departure from the conventional gaming console. It is certainly more than just about gaming. The new features allow you to watch movies, stream games and videos online, and so much more. You can do just bout anything that can be done on a TV Screen, with this console.
There are some disputes about if the PSN will be shut down in 2015 but we can not know more until official statement from Sony. That would be really sad because it would make tools for Free PSN codes such as psncodefree.net no longer work.
Several input points
Of course, like the previous versions of Play station 3, you can enjoy several input options, including ultra-fast USB connection ports, HDMI cables, and a DVD drive for your games. More improvements have been done with the New PlayStation 4 features in 2015.
5 New and Totally Awesome Gaming Technologies
New gaming technologies
Developing faster than ever before, and this year has given dedicated gamers plenty of new and exciting options to choose from. Some of these technologies may not be considered revolutionary in the classic sense. However, all of them provide a new and totally awesome approach to online games. So, here are five of the coolest innovations in 2014:
1. Project Morpheus from Sony
This is not the first virtual reality headset there is, yet, in comparison to the previous models, it totally rocks! Sony made a huge effort at quality, definition, and calibration. When you strap on the headset, you actually 'get into' the screen. You can ditch cars, bullets, or any other obstacles with the move of your head. In comparison to a traditional console, such experience is truly unforgettable! Sure, there is some room for the improvement in terms of calibration, but Sony totally got the idea right.

Please let me know if you would like one of the specials as soon as you come into chat.
Top quality reader! Experience the difference of a professional reading with a compassionate, ethical, realistic and down to earth psychic-intuitive empath. Accurate and trusted adviser A STANDOUT among readers: I provide truthful, detailed readings at affordable rates. I specialize in complicated relationships, but have experience with all areas. I use tarot cards, my psychic ability and my guide to deliver the truth in a kind way, whether good or bad news. I provide time frames if I pick them up. I am generous with my time, but be prepared to make payment when the payment request comes up. If I need more time I will pause the clock or extend the introductory period, but I do expect payment to be made when the prompt comes up. I do not do any free readings for new or long term clients. First three minutes are introductory time to gather questions and prepare.

Clairsentience (empathic) – I can feel energy & emotions from other people. I am an empath, can pick up your emotions, as well as the emotions of those you are inquiring about.
Clairvoyant – I have the ability to "see" or gain information about an object, person, location or physical event.
Claircognizance (knowing) – Visions come from time to time during readings. When this happens I can describe the image in detail.
Tarot Card Interpretations – 14 years experience.
Empath – feeling the energy and emotions of client and others involved in the session
Non-judgemental reader – You can ask me anything, without hesitation and without fear of ridicule. I accept all circumstances with an open mind.
14 years experience providing readings professionally in my office and 5 years experience providing chat readings online.
I've studied many aspects of the esoteric my entire adult life.
It is rewarding to me to feel a clients energy shift from distraught – in to a healing calm and peaceful state – or to become empowered and take control over their own lives and find their path to happiness. Many times I perform distance healing sessions during a reading (or after on request). It is not uncommon for a client to feel a great sense of peace or relief after a reading with me. However, I won't tell you what you hope to hear in order to give you false sense of relief that hinders progress. I will give you what you need, the truth, help you to explore the options that lie before you, and provide insight into what your choices/options will lead to.
If you feel that you are impulsively contacting psychics for readings as a means of "quick fix" to an emotional state, this is not what readings are intended for. A psychic reading can provide you with insight into situations & the feelings of people, as well as provide you with likely predictions and time frames based on current circumstances. The actions of those involved in a reading can change both time frames and outcomes. This is why advice is generally given along with predictions. Psychics can provide you with advice on the best possible action to take to reach the outcome you desire, IF the desired result is something that is attainable. A psychic reading should leave you feeling more empowered, relaxed, and peaceful, not dependent on more readings in order to feel emotional stability.
NOTE TO ALL POTENTIAL CLIENTS: Often readings are needed at very emotional times~please keep in mind:
I'm not here to prove my abilities or convince anyone of anything. My feedback is my reference. I don't provide free 'connection' time, but I do not read without establishing a connection. I will not entertain novelty type questions. If you're skeptical, don't come for a reading with out a positive, open mind. I will also not tolerate rude, disrespectful, or obnoxious behaviour. I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone at any time.
Be nice. Don't take your frustrations out on me, I'm here to help.
Be respectful of my time and energy. Don't come into a chat session you don't intend to pay for. This includes coming in to update or chit chat. If you have something you want to tell me but don't want to pay for a session, please leave me a message.
I prefer to cover Questions/topics – 1 at a time please.
Relax. Be patient. Rushed, hurried sessions tend to contain more limited detail than relaxed sessions. There is an icon at the top of the screen that shows I'm typing.
Asking for free readings, stalling to make payment, or taking excessive time off the clock without payment may affect your access to get readings from me at all without notice.
*All Paid readings are Final, No Refunds given, under any circumstances. As we are Intuitives working with Spirit we cannot guarantee any outcome due to Free Will of the client *

Mexico City. Show 1.
Having got to bed some time after 4am, I was deeply unhappy when, at 8am, the alarm spontaneously went off on my sodding Mexican Blackberry. Having traipsed across my massive suite in a complete blur in order to stamp on it, imagine my joy to discover it had put itself into snooze mode and continued to go off every five minutes until I flushed it down the toilet.
I managed to get back into some level of sleep, with dreams punctuated by incessant whistle blasts of a traffic cop on the gargantuan traffic intersection outside my window. One can only assume that the windows of the Hotel Fabulous are double-glazed and relatively sound-proofed, so with the constant traffic noise, horns and that bloody whistle I can't imagine how local residents in less armoured buildings ever sleep at all.
It was a muggy day so our van ride was a tad sweaty but we had the happening driver who took a seemingly completely different route and got us there in record time. Maybe it was the heat but conversation was slow in the van so I spent much of the journey just watching Mexico City go by, the city of a million roads and many million vehicles. Between all the cars and concrete though, I began to notice the colour. In every direction, the houses, the stores, the billboards, the roadside stalls and the clothes of the people manning them. It's a big, loud and sprawling city but extraordinarily colourful if you look in the cracks.
Around dinner time the weather broke and the heavens just opened. There was an hour-long deluge, which is always a chore to deal with, accompanied by inevitable technical glitches. Happily the rain stopped just as Snow Patrol took the stage but it was a soupy night throughout.
Azteca is a huge stadium with high, steep sides so the atmosphere was just electric, with something close to 100,000 people in there. The air was so thick that you could practically see the electricity. The exit route for me to get to the 'runner' was not easy, being directly across the stadium field and then ramping up through one of the grandstands. I left in plenty of time, making it to the top of said ramp just at the beginning of Moment of Surrender, where I met Paul McGuinness. We watched the last song from this vantage point, with the whole stadium laid out below us. As ever, Bono asked the crowd to take out their phones to create the electric Milky Way – this is always a fantastic moment but tonight with so many people crammed into such a high-sided building it was exceptionally intense. The light from the thousands of cellphone screens was dazzling – quite seriously I think you could have read a book by it. Paul commented that this moment of the show has got consistently brighter over the past two years as the tour has progressed. You could probably chart the release dates of each new generation of mobile phone technology by the brightness of Moment of Surrender.

Moment of shining lights
Hi Willie, I am sorry for you that the alarm of your Blackberry woke you up after only four hours of sleep (I would also hate that). Thanks for your wonderful descriptions of "Moment of Surrender". I am always overwhelmed when thousands of lights coming from the cell phones turn the stadium into a universe of bright stars. That very special moment creates such a spiritual and peaceful mood in every place.

Milky Way
Hi Willy, back in 1992 with the ZooTV tour in the Palacio de los Deportes venue Bono started the milly way with a fire lighter that he got from a fan from the audience. The highest point of this kind of lumity was with the Pop Mart tou at the Foro Sol while playing New Year´s. Greetings !

Colorful ah ? I lived in Mexico city for years. Did not see the color, tough . I was allways angry, I guess, by the fact I was allways surrounded by cars, concrete, buildings, stalls and houses.

Nightmare of a morning commute: 'I thought I was dying'
BY BECKY SCHLIKERMAN Staff Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com April 18, 2013 1:32PM
A car sits under water on the Edens Expy. south of Pratt on Thursday. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times
Updated: May 20, 2013 7:52PM
Sunjoon Kwon was on his way to work Thursday morning when he drove into an unexpected pool of water on the Kennedy Expressway.
"I didn't see the water," Kwon said of the 5 a.m. commuting nightmare near Elston Avenue. "The water came into my car."
The engine of the tan Toyota Camry died, so the 64-year-old Skokie resident tried to get out of his car.
"I couldn't open the door. I opened the window and go out from the window," he said.
Hours later, a reporter spotted the car abandoned on the highway in a pool of water that reached the top of its tires.
"I am so scared," Kwon, a pressman at a printing company on Chicago's South Side, said, recalling his fear as water gushed in. "I thought I was dying."
Though not all experienced the same horror as Kwon, many had their own hellish commute following Thursday's deluge. About 5 1/2 inches of rain fell Wednesday and Thursday. It was the highest two-day total for April, according to the National Weather Service, but it's nowhere near the all-time two-day rainfall record of 9.35 inches in August of 1987.
The rain caused major flooding, which led to road closures.
Multiple expressways were closed at some point Thursday, including the Edens Expressway, the Kennedy Expressway and the Bishop Ford Freeway. But by the evening rush hour, most of the highways were re-opened, easing people's return home.
"This is a pretty rare event that we've had closures on multiple expressways at the same time," Illinois Department of Transportation spokeswoman Jae Miller said. "It hasn't happened in recent years."
Several Metra lines were delayed earlier Thursday due to the flooding and switching problems caused by a lightning strike.
On the CTA, officials monitored water levels in subway tunnels and rerouted buses away from flooded areas.
But in at least one instance, a bus drove through a flooded viaduct and was inundated with water.
Dmario McDonald, a passenger on a Kimball-Homan bus, said murky water gushed into the bus through the front and rear doors. Passengers put their feet up on the seats as the bus filled up with three or four inches of water. McDonald, a 38-year-old graphic designer from the Irving Park community, snapped a photo that circulated online Thursday.
"It was completely unexpected," he said. "It was exciting if anything because normally it's a dull day on the ride in. That was really the highlight of my day."
But for many, the flooding didn't add a sense of excitement. Rather, it was a pain.
George Chivari Jr.'s commute from the West Loop to the western suburbs is normally 35 minutes but on Thursday it lasted more than three hours.
After bumper-to-bumper traffic on I-290 and deep puddles that Chivari "floored" his sports car through, the 31-year-old ended up parking about five blocks away from his Berkeley office.
He took off his dress shoes and socks, rolled up his slacks and walked the rest of the way through knee-high water.
"I'm surprised I even made it to work," Chivari said.
For Waukegan Public Schools employee Jody Spina, commuting from Crete is a haul on a good day — 90 miles and about an hour and 40 minutes door-to-door. On Thursday morning, she added another 40 minutes and struggled to stay on the Tri-State Tollway pavement at one point.
"When I was south of Hinsdale, there was so much rain that I can't even explain it — my car was completely covered in water," she said of the squall that hammered the west suburbs around 5 a.m. "It was like I was sliding down the roadway more than driving on it."
Meanwhile, Kwon said he was going to salvage as much as he could from his soggy car.
"The car is all messed up," Kwon said. "We have to throw it away, I think."

The Autumn is well and truly here... The days are shorter and the the leaves are gold. I don't know about you, but I am not very keen on staying outside when it is dark and cold. One thing I love doing in the Fall is watching my favourite movies. There is something truly comforting about watching a brilliant classic - and it can also be very inspiring. If you have already seen a film, you can freely focus on the minor details, you don't need to concentrate as much on the main story line. You can truly dive into the director's mind and explore the celluloid world.
I have compiled a list of 10 stylish films for you to enjoy. I am sure you have seen most of them, but watch them again making sure you look at everything, every object, every detail, every expression. You will be surprised by how refreshed you feel afterwards!
- Love Story by Arthur Hiller (1970) with Ali McGraw and Ryan O'Neal.
- Rear Window by Alfred Hitchcock (1954) with Grace Kelly and James Stewart.
- Annie Hall by Woody Allen (1977) with Diane Keaton and Woody Allen.
- 500 days of Summer by Marc Webb (2009) with Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt
- Exotica by Atom Egoyan (1994) with Mia Kirshner and Elias Koteas.

The apostle cautions the Philippians against judaizing false teachers, and renounces his own former privileges. (1-11) Expresses earnest desire to be found in Christ; also his pressing on toward perfection; and recommends his own example to other believers. (12-21)
Verses 1-11 Sincere Christians rejoice in Christ Jesus. The prophet calls the false prophets dumb dogs, ( Isaiah 56:10 ) ; to which the apostle seems to refer. Dogs, for their malice against faithful professors of the gospel of Christ, barking at them and biting them. They urged human works in opposition to the faith of Christ; but Paul calls them evil-workers. He calls them the concision; as they rent the church of Christ, and cut it to pieces. The work of religion is to no purpose, unless the heart is in it, and we must worship God in the strength and grace of the Divine Spirit. They rejoice in Christ Jesus, not in mere outward enjoyments and performances. Nor can we too earnestly guard against those who oppose or abuse the doctrine of free salvation. If the apostle would have gloried and trusted in the flesh, he had as much cause as any man. But the things which he counted gain while a Pharisee, and had reckoned up, those he counted loss for Christ. The apostle did not persuade them to do any thing but what he himself did; or to venture on any thing but that on which he himself ventured his never-dying soul. He deemed all these things to be but loss, compared with the knowledge of Christ, by faith in his person and salvation. He speaks of all worldly enjoyments and outward privileges which sought a place with Christ in his heart, or could pretend to any merit and desert, and counted them but loss; but it might be said, It is easy to say so; but what would he do when he came to the trial? He had suffered the loss of all for the privileges of a Christian. Nay, he not only counted them loss, but the vilest refuse, offals thrown to dogs; not only less valuable than Christ, but in the highest degree contemptible, when set up as against him. True knowledge of Christ alters and changes men, their judgments and manners, and makes them as if made again anew. The believer prefers Christ, knowing that it is better for us to be without all worldly riches, than without Christ and his word. Let us see what the apostle resolved to cleave to, and that was Christ and heaven. We are undone, without righteousness wherein to appear before God, for we are guilty. There is a righteousness provided for us in Jesus Christ, and it is a complete and perfect righteousness. None can have benefit by it, who trust in themselves. Faith is the appointed means of applying the saving benefit. It is by faith in Christ's blood. We are made conformable to Christ's death, when we die to sin, as he died for sin; and the world is crucified to us, and we to the world, by the cross of Christ. The apostle was willing to do or to suffer any thing, to attain the glorious resurrection of saints. This hope and prospect carried him through all difficulties in his work. He did not hope to attain it through his own merit and righteousness, but through the merit and righteousness of Jesus Christ.
Verses 12-21 This simple dependence and earnestness of soul, were not mentioned as if the apostle had gained the prize, or were already made perfect in the Saviour's likeness. He forgot the things which were behind, so as not to be content with past labours or present measures of grace. He reached forth, stretched himself forward towards his point; expressions showing great concern to become more and more like unto Christ. He who runs a race, must never stop short of the end, but press forward as fast as he can; so those who have heaven in their view, must still press forward to it, in holy desires and hopes, and constant endeavours. Eternal life is the gift of God, but it is in Christ Jesus; through his hand it must come to us, as it is procured for us by him. There is no getting to heaven as our home, but by Christ as our Way. True believers, in seeking this assurance, as well as to glorify him, will seek more nearly to resemble his sufferings and death, by dying to sin, and by crucifying the flesh with its affections and lusts. In these things there is a great difference among real Christians, but all know something of them. Believers make Christ all in all, and set their hearts upon another world. If they differ from one another, and are not of the same judgment in lesser matters, yet they must not judge one another; while they all meet now in Christ, and hope to meet shortly in heaven. Let them join in all the great things in which they are agreed, and wait for further light as to lesser things wherein they differ. The enemies of the cross of Christ mind nothing but their sensual appetites. Sin is the sinner's shame, especially when gloried in. The way of those who mind earthly things, may seem pleasant, but death and hell are at the end of it. If we choose their way, we shall share their end. The life of a Christian is in heaven, where his Head and his home are, and where he hopes to be shortly; he sets his affections upon things above; and where his heart is, there will his conversation be. There is glory kept for the bodies of the saints, in which they will appear at the resurrection. Then the body will be made glorious; not only raised again to life, but raised to great advantage. Observe the power by which this change will be wrought. May we be always prepared for the coming of our Judge; looking to have our vile bodies changed by his Almighty power, and applying to him daily to new-create our souls unto holiness; to deliver us from our enemies, and to employ our bodies and souls as instruments of righteousness in his service.
Philippians 3:1-21 . WARNING AGAINST JUDAIZERS: HE HAS GREATER CAUSE THAN THEY TO TRUST IN LEGAL RIGHTEOUSNESS, BUT RENOUNCED IT FOR CHRIST'S RIGHTEOUSNESS, IN WHICH HE PRESSES AFTER PERFECTION: WARNING AGAINST CARNAL PERSONS: CONTRAST OF THE BELIEVER'S LIFE AND HOPE.
1. Finally--rather, not with the notion of time, but making a transition to another general subject, "Furthermore" [BENGEL and WAHL] as in 1 Thessalonians 4:1 . Literally, "As to what remains," &c. It is often used at the conclusion of Epistles for "finally" ( Ephesians 6:10 , 2 Thessalonians 3:1 ). But it is not restricted to this meaning, as ALFORD thinks, supposing that Paul used it here intending to close his Epistle, but was led by the mention of the Judaizers into a more lengthened dissertation.
the same things--concerning "rejoicing," the prevailing feature in this Epistle ( Philippians 1:18 Philippians 1:25 , 2:17 , 4:4 , where, compare the "again I say," with "the same things" here).
In the Lord--marks the true ground of joy, in contrast with "having confidence in the flesh," or in any outward sensible matter of boasting ( Philippians 3:3 ).
not grievous--"not irksome."
for you it is safe--Spiritual joy is the best safety against error ( Philippians 3:2 , Nehemiah 8:10 , end).
2. Beware--Greek, "Have your eye on" so as to beware of. Contrast "mark," or "observe," namely, so as to follow Philippians 3:17 .
dogs--Greek, "the dogs," namely, those impure persons "of whom I have told you often" ( Philippians 3:18 Philippians 3:19 ); "the abominable" (compare Revelation 21:8 , with Revelation 22:15 , Matthew 7:6 , Titus 1:15 Titus 1:16 ): "dogs" in filthiness, unchastity, and snarling ( Deuteronomy 23:18 , Psalms 59:6 Psalms 59:14 Psalms 59:15 , 2 Peter 2:22 ): especially "enemies of the cross of Christ" ( Philippians 3:18 , Psalms 22:16 Psalms 22:20 ). The Jews regarded the Gentiles as "dogs" ( Matthew 15:26 ); but by their own unbelief they have ceased to be the true Israel, and are become "dogs" (compare Isaiah 56:10 Isaiah 56:11 ).
evil workers--( 2 Corinthians 11:13 ), "deceitful workers." Not simply "evildoers" are meant, but men who "worked," indeed, ostensibly for the Gospel, but worked for evil: "serving not our Lord, but their own belly" ( Philippians 3:19 ; compare Romans 16:18 ). Translate, "The evil workmen," that is, bad teachers (compare 2 Timothy 2:15 ).
concision--Circumcision had now lost its spiritual significance, and was now become to those who rested on it as any ground of justification, a senseless mutilation. Christians have the only true circumcision, namely, that of the heart; legalists have only "concision," that is, the cutting off of the flesh. To make "cuttings in the flesh" was expressly prohibited by the law ( Leviticus 21:5 ): it was a Gentile-heathenish practice ( 1 Kings 18:28 ); yet this, writes Paul indignantly, is what these legalists are virtually doing in violation of the law. There is a remarkable gradation, says BIRKS [Horæ Apostolicæ] in Paul's language as to circumcision. In his first recorded discourse ( Acts 13:39 ), circumcision is not named, but implied as included in the law of Moses which cannot justify. Six or seven years later, in the Epistle to Galatians ( Galatians 3:3 ), the first Epistle in which it is named, its spiritual inefficiency is maintained against those Gentiles who, beginning in the Spirit, thought to be perfected in the flesh. Later, in Epistle to Romans ( Romans 2:28 Romans 2:29 ), he goes farther, and claims the substance of it for every believer, assigning the shadow only of it to the unbelieving Jew. In Epistle to Colossians ( Colossians 2:11 , 3:11 ), still later, he expounds more fully the true circumcision as the exclusive privilege of the believer. Last of all here, the very name is denied to the legalist, and a term of reproach is substituted, "concision," or flesh-cutting. Once obligatory on all the covenant-people, then reduced to a mere national distinction, it was more and more associated in the apostle's experience with the open hostility of the Jews, and the perverse teaching of false brethren.
3. "We are the (real) circumcision" ( Romans 2:25-29 Colossians 2:11 ).
worship God in the Spirit--The oldest manuscripts read, "worship by the Spirit of God"; our religious service is rendered by the Spirit ( John 4:23 John 4:24 ). Legal worship was outward, and consisted in outward acts, restricted to certain times and places. Christian worship is spiritual, flowing from the inworkings of the Holy Spirit, not relating to certain isolated acts, but embracing the whole life ( Romans 12:1 ). In the former, men trusted in something human, whether descent from the theocratic nation, or the righteousness of the law, or mortification of "the flesh" ("Having confidence," or "glorying in the flesh") [NEANDER] ( Romans 1:9 ).
rejoice in Christ Jesus--"make our boast in Christ Jesus," not in the law: the ground of their boasting.
have no confidence in the flesh--but in the Spirit.
4. "Although I (emphatical) might have confidence even in the flesh." Literally, "I having," but not using, "confidence in the flesh."
I more--have more "whereof I might have confidence in the flesh."
5. In three particulars he shows how he "might have confidence in the flesh" ( Philippians 3:4 ): (1) His pure Jewish blood. (2) His legal preciseness and high status as such. (3) His zeal for the law. The Greek is literally, "Being in circumcision an eighth day person," that is, not one circumcised in later life as a proselyte, but on the eighth day after birth, as the law directed in the case of Jew-born infants.
of the tribe of Benjamin--son of Rachel, not of the maid-servant [BENGEL].
Hebrew of the Hebrews--neither one or other parent being Gentile. The "Hebrew," wherever he dwelt, retained the language of his fathers. Thus Paul, though settled in Tarsus, a Greek city, calls himself a Hebrew. A "Grecian" or Hellenist, on the other hand, in the New Testament, is the term used for a "Greek-speaking" Jew [TRENCH].
touching the law--that is, as to legal status and strictness.
a Pharisee--"of the straitest sect" ( Acts 26:5 ).
6. Concerning--Translate as before and after, "As touching Zeal" (compare Acts 22:3 , 26:9 ).
blameless--Greek, "having become blameless" as to ceremonial righteousness: having attained in the eyes of man blameless legal perfection. As to the holiness before God, which is the inner and truest spirit of the law, and which flows from "the righteousness of God by faith," he on the contrary declares ( Philippians 3:12-14 ) that he has not attained perfection.
7. gain--rather as Greek, "gains"; including all possible advantages of outward status, which he had heretofore enjoyed.
I counted--Greek, "I have counted for Christ's sake loss." He no longer uses the plural as in "gains"; for he counts them all but one great "loss" ( Matthew 16:26 , Luke 9:25 ).
8. Yea doubtless--The oldest manuscripts omit "doubtless" (Greek, "ge"): translate, "nay more." Not only "have I counted" those things just mentioned "loss for Christ's sake, but, moreover, I even DO count ALL things but loss," &c.
for the excellency--Greek, "On account of the surpassing excellency (the supereminence above them all) of the knowledge of Christ Jesus."
my Lord--believing and loving appropriation of Him ( Psalms 63:1 , John 20:28 ).
for whom--"on account of whom."
I have suffered the loss--not merely I "counted" them "loss," but have actually lost them.
all things--The Greek has the article, referring to the preceding "all things"; "I have suffered the loss of them all."
dung--Greek, "refuse (such as excrements, dregs, dross) cast to the dogs," as the derivation expresses. A "loss" is of something having value; but "refuse" is thrown away as not worthy of being any more touched or looked at.
win--Translate, to accord with the translation, Philippians 3:7 , "gain Christ." A man cannot make other things his "gain" or chief confidence, and at the same time "gain Christ." He who loses all things, and even himself, on account of Christ, gains Christ: Christ is His, and He is Christ's ( Solomon 2:16 , 6:3 , Luke 9:23 Luke 9:24 , 1 Corinthians 3:23 ).
9. be found in him--"be found" at His coming again, living spiritually "in Him" as the element of my life. Once lost, I have been "found," and I hope to be perfectly "found" by Him ( Luke 15:8 ).
own righteousness . . . of the law--( Philippians 3:6 , Romans 10:3 Romans 10:5 ). "Of," that is, from.
righteousness . . . of God by faith--Greek, "which is from God (resting) upon faith." Paul was transported from legal bondage into Christian freedom at once, and without any gradual transition. Hence, the bands of Pharisaism were loosed instantaneously; and opposition to Pharisaic Judaism took the place of opposition to the Gospel. Thus God's providence fitly prepared him for the work of overthrowing all idea of legal justification. "The righteousness of faith," in Paul's sense, is the righteousness or perfect holiness of Christ appropriated by faith, as the objective ground of confidence for the believer, and also as a new subjective principle of life. Hence it includes the essence of a new disposition, and may easily pass into the idea of sanctification, though the two ideas are originally distinct. It is not any arbitrary act of God, as if he treated as sinless a man persisting in sin, simply because he believes in Christ; but the objective on the part of God corresponds to the subjective on the part of man, namely, faith. The realization of the archetype of holiness through Christ contains the pledge that this shall be realized in all who are one with Him by faith, and are become the organs of His Spirit. Its germ is imparted to them in believing although the fruit of a life perfectly conformed to the Redeemer, can only be gradually developed in this life [NEANDER].
10. That I may know him--experimentally. The aim of the "righteousness" just mentioned. This verse resumes, and more fully explains, "the excellency of the knowledge of Christ" ( Philippians 3:8 ). To know HIM is more than merely to know a doctrine about Him. Believers are brought not only to redemption, but to the Redeemer Himself.
the power of his resurrection--assuring believers of their justification ( Romans 4:25 , 1 Corinthians 15:17 ), and raising them up spiritually with Him, by virtue of their identification with Him in this, as in all the acts of His redeeming work for us ( Romans 6:4 , Colossians 2:12 , 3:1 ). The power of the Divine Spirit, which raised Him from literal death, is the same which raises believers from spiritual death now ( Ephesians 1:19 Ephesians 1:20 ), and shall raise their bodies from literal death hereafter ( Romans 8:11 ).
the fellowship of his sufferings--by identification with Him in His sufferings and death, by imputation; also, in actually bearing the cross whatever is laid on us, after His example, and so "filling up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ" ( Colossians 1:24 ); and in the will to bear aught for His sake ( Matthew 10:38 , 16:24 , 2 Timothy 2:11 ). As He bore all our sufferings ( Isaiah 53:4 ), so we participate in His.
made conformable unto his death--"conformed to the likeness of His death," namely, by continued sufferings for His sake, and mortifying of the carnal self ( Romans 8:29 , 1 Corinthians 15:31 , 2 Corinthians 4:10-12 , Galatians 2:20 ).
11. If by any means--not implying uncertainty of the issue, but the earnestness of the struggle of faith ( 1 Corinthians 9:26 1 Corinthians 9:27 ), and the urgent need of jealous self-watchfulness ( 1 Corinthians 10:12 ).
attain unto the resurrection of the dead--The oldest manuscripts read, "the resurrection from (out of) the dead," namely, the first resurrection; that of believers at Christ's coming ( 1 Corinthians 15:23 , 1 Thessalonians 4:15 , Revelation 20:5 Revelation 20:6 ). The Greek word occurs nowhere else in the New Testament. "The power of Christ's resurrection" ( Romans 1:4 ), ensures the believer's attainment of the "resurrection from the (rest of the) dead" (compare Philippians 3:20 Philippians 3:21 ). Compare "accounted worthy to obtain the resurrection from the dead" ( Luke 20:35 ). "The resurrection of the just" ( Luke 14:14 ).
12. Translate, "Not that I," &c. (I do not wish to be understood as saying that, &c.).
attained--"obtained," namely, a perfect knowledge of Christ, and of the power of His death, and fellowship of His sufferings, and a conformity to His death.
either were already perfect--"or am already perfected," that is, crowned with the garland of victory, my course completed, and perfection absolutely reached. The image is that of a race course throughout. See 1 Corinthians 9:24 , Hebrews 12:23 . See TRENCH [Greek Synonyms of the New Testament].
I follow after--"I press on."
apprehend . . . apprehended--"If so be that I may lay hold on that (namely, the prize, Philippians 3:14 ) for which also I was laid hold on by Christ" (namely, at my conversion, Solomon 1:4 , 1 Corinthians 13:12 ).
Jesus--omitted in the oldest manuscripts. Paul was close to "apprehending" the prize ( 2 Timothy 4:7 2 Timothy 4:8 ). Christ the Author, is also the Finisher of His people's "race."
13. I--whatever others count as to themselves. He who counts himself perfect, must deceive himself by calling sin infirmity ( 1 John 1:8 ); at the same time, each must aim at perfection, to be a Christian at all ( Matthew 5:48 ).
forgetting those things . . . behind--Looking back is sure to end in going back ( Luke 9:62 ): So Lot's wife ( Luke 17:32 ). If in stemming a current we cease pulling the oar against it, we are carried back. God's word to us is as it was to Israel, "Speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward" ( Exodus 14:15 ). The Bible is our landmark to show us whether we are progressing or retrograding.
reaching forth--with hand and foot, like a runner in a race, and the body bent forward. The Christian is always humbled by the contrast between what he is and what he desires to be. The eye reaches before and draws on the hand, the hand reaches before and draws on the foot [BENGEL].
unto--towards ( Hebrews 6:1 ).
14. high calling--literally, "the calling that is above" ( Galatians 4:26 , Colossians 3:1 ): "the heavenly calling" ( Hebrews 3:1 ). "The prize" is "the crown of righteousness" ( 1 Corinthians 9:24 , 2 Timothy 4:8 ). Revelation 2:10 , "crown of life." 1 Peter 5:4 , "a crown of glory that fadeth not away." "The high," or "heavenly calling," is not restricted, as ALFORD thinks, to Paul's own calling as an apostle by the summons of God from heaven; but the common calling of all Christians to salvation in Christ, which coming from heaven invites us to heaven, whither accordingly our minds ought to be uplifted.
15. therefore--resuming Philippians 3:3 . "As many of us then, as are perfect," that is, full grown (no longer "babes") in the Christian life ( Philippians 3:3 , "worshipping God in the Spirit, and having no confidence in the flesh"), 1 Corinthians 2:6 , fully established in things of God. Here, by "perfect," he means one fully fit for running [BENGEL]; knowing and complying with the laws of the course ( 2 Timothy 2:5 ). Though "perfect" in this sense, he was not yet "made perfect" (Greek) in the sense intended in Philippians 3:12 , namely, "crowned with complete victory," and having attained absolute perfection.
thus minded--having the mind which he had described, Philippians 3:7-14 .
otherwise minded--having too high an opinion of yourselves as to your attainment of Christian perfection. "He who thinks that he has attained everything, hath nothing" [CHRYSOSTOM]. Probably, too, he refers to those who were tempted to think to attain to perfection by the law ( Galatians 3:3 ): who needed the warning ( Philippians 3:3 ), "Beware of the concision," though on account of their former piety, Paul hopes confidently (as in Galatians 5:10 ) that God will reveal the path of right-mindedness to them. Paul taught externally God "reveals" the truth internally by His Spirit ( Matthew 11:25 , 16:17 , 1 Corinthians 3:6 ).
unto you--who sincerely strive to do God's will ( John 7:17 , Ephesians 1:17 ).
16. The expectation of a new revelation is not to make you less careful in walking according to whatever degree of knowledge of divine things and perfection you have already attained. God makes further revelations to those who walk up to the revelations they already have ( Hosea 6:3 ).
rule, let us mind the same thing--omitted in the oldest manuscripts. Perhaps partly inserted from Galatians 6:16 , and Philippians 2:2 . Translate then, "Whereunto we have attained, let us walk on (a military term, march in order) in the same (the measure of knowledge already attained)."
17. followers--Greek, "imitators together."
of me--as I am an imitator of Christ ( 1 Corinthians 11:1 ): Imitate me no farther than as I imitate Christ. Or as BENGEL "My fellow imitators of God" or "Christ"; "imitators of Christ together with me" Ephesians 5:1 ).
mark--for imitation.
which walk so as ye have us for an ensample--In English Version of the former clause, the translation of this clause is, "those who are walking so as ye have an example in us." But in BENGEL'S translation, "inasmuch as," or "since," instead of "as."
18. many walk--in such a manner. Follow not evildoers, because they are "many" ( Exodus 23:2 ). Their numbers are rather a presumption against their being Christ's "little flock" ( Luke 12:32 ).
often--There is need of constant warning.
weeping--( Romans 9:2 ). A hard tone in speaking of the inconsistencies of professors is the very opposite of Paul's spirit, and David's ( Psalms 119:136 ), and Jeremiah's ( Jeremiah 13:17 ). The Lord and His apostles, at the same time, speak more strongly against empty professors (as the Pharisees), than against open scoffers.
enemies of the cross of Christ--in their practice, not in doctrine ( Galatians 6:14 , Hebrews 6:6 , 10:29 ).
19. destruction--everlasting at Christ's coming. Philippians 1:28 , "perdition"; the opposite word is "Saviour" ( Philippians 3:20 ).
end--fixed doom.
whose god is their belly--( Romans 16:18 ); hereafter to be destroyed by God ( 1 Corinthians 6:13 ). In contrast to our "body" ( Philippians 3:21 ), which our God, the Lord Jesus, shall "fashion like unto His glorious body." Their belly is now pampered, our body now wasted; then the respective states of both shall be reversed.
glory is in their shame--As "glory" is often used in the Old Testament for God ( Psalms 106:20 ), so here it answers to "whose God," in the parallel clause; and "shame" is the Old Testament term contemptuously given to an idol ( Judges 6:32 , Margin). Hosea 4:7 seems to be referred to by Paul (compare Romans 1:32 ). There seems no allusion to circumcision, as no longer glorious, but a shame to them ( Philippians 3:2 ). The reference of the immediate context is to sensuality, and carnality in general.
mind earthly things--( Romans 8:5 ). In contrast to Philippians 3:20 , Colossians 3:2 .
20. our conversation--rather, "our state" or "country"; our citizenship: our life as citizens. We are but pilgrims on earth; how then should we "mind earthly things?" ( Philippians 3:19 , Hebrews 11:9 Hebrews 11:10 Hebrews 11:13-16 ). Roman citizenship was then highly prized; how much more should the heavenly citizenship ( Acts 22:28 ; compare Luke 10:20 )?
is--Greek, "has its existence."
in heaven--Greek, "in the heavens."
look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ--"We wait for (so the same Greek is translated, Romans 8:19 ) the Lord Jesus as a (that is, in the capacity of a) Saviour" ( Hebrews 9:28 ). That He is "the Lord," now exalted above every name, assures our expectation ( Philippians 2:9-11 ). Our High Priest is gone up into the Holy of Holies not made with hands, there to atone for us; and as the Israelites stood outside the tabernacle, expecting Aaron's return (compare Luke 1:21 ), so must we look unto the heavens expecting Christ thence.
21. Greek, "Who shall transfigure the body of our humiliation (namely, in which our humiliation has place, 2 Corinthians 4:10 , Ephesians 2:19 , 2 Timothy 2:12 ), that it may be conformed unto the body of His glory (namely, in which His glory is manifested), according to the effectual working whereby," &c. Not only shall He come as our "Saviour," but also as our Glorifier.
even--not only to make the body like His own, but "to subdue all things," even death itself, as well as Satan and sin. He gave a sample of the coming transfiguration on the mount ( Matthew 17:1 , &c.). Not a change of identity, but of fashion or form ( Psalms 17:15 , 1 Corinthians 15:51 ). Our spiritual resurrection now is the pledge of our bodily resurrection to glory hereafter ( Philippians 3:20 , Romans 8:11 ). As Christ's glorified body was essentially identical with His body of humiliation; so our resurrection bodies as believers, since they shall be like His, shall be identical essentially with our present bodies, and yet "spiritual bodies" ( 1 Corinthians 15:42-44 ). Our "hope" is, that Christ, by His rising from the dead, hath obtained the power, and is become the pattern, of our resurrection ( Micah 2:13 ).

Ooh - BAD timing for travel to Hawaii - and if not booked by now you probably just about have to have a travel agent. Good thing this is just the honeymoon and not the wedding, if you are booking now - so an agent will be even more important to you in this case, though I guess you might get a decent deal with an airline-sponsored package deal for two as well, if any are still available.
My experience - a good travel agent is worth their weight in gold - we give ours a thank-you gift each year. We have one that charges $35 a person fee for all but extensive foreign travel packages (they make most of their money off booking commissions). We use her for all travel except simple mileage-plan-paid there-and-back trips when there is no rental car or motel involved, because when she does the booking she generally saves us about $25-50/day just on rental car and hotel/motel. For instance, on one Disney World trip we were able to take the 4 in the family PLUS our kid's two best friends for about 5 days there, staying on-property with preferred passes, for the same amount as just the normal two adult cost - a thousand plus in savings. We can go online and see zero mileage or discount seats available for an entire week - yet she is able to get us seats on the day we want in most cases, or at worst one day away, and almost always on mileage even though the airlines themselves say no mileage seats are available - including at high travel periods.
Of course, you need a conscientious one with lots of experience who knows the system ins and outs, and preferably running on the Sabre reservation system because it shows a lot more than competing systems and makes finding alternative booking easier, as I understand it.
Using a travel agency (preferably one with several people working there and 24-hour emergency service) also gives you a firm point of contact to solve any problems or rescheduling - we have had 10 minute rebooking several times when a flight was cancelled - generally before the airline even got around to starting to help passengers get on other flights, and an agent carries a LOT more weight with rental car agencies or hotels or airlines than you do if the reservation is screwed up by them. Oh, and our agent always gets us a free car upgrade too - typically jumped up 2 grades at no extra charge.
Don't leave it ALL to the agent - give a synopsis of what type of lodging and seating and such you want and things you want to visit, then let him/her come back with a concept plan for approval modification, then to a hold reservation for your approval - typically an agent can put a "hold" on reservations for 24-48 hours for your approval, though that does require you stay on top of your eMail to respond back with OK or not in time to allow cancelling or confirming the reservation within that timeframe.
Travel Agent reviews in Walkerville
We owned two separate Vacation Resorts time shares (one 120,000 points and the second 556,000 points). We had explored selling them back to and were told they did offer a buy back program called Pathways but it required us to make an additional purchase of approximately $15,000 and then hold it as well as the two we already owned for five (5) more years. At that time they would purchase back any and all of of our points for an approximate 20% of our purchase price(s). Of course the salesperson could not or would not commit to the specifics without proceeding forward to the additional purchase. It would have cost us the $15,000 plus approximately $20,000 in monthly maintenance fees for a total of at least $35,000 for the five year period. At the end we could expect to sell back for approximately $25,000. Of course, we were concerned when the five years passed they would tell us something different.
Over the phone asked us about our ownership status (i.e., we owned and had no loans, mortgages, liens or outstanding assessments and were up to date with maintenance fees). They reassured us that they were confident they could successfully transfer our and thus get us out of our time shares permanently. They scheduled us to attend an upcoming seminar in our area within the next few weeks. In the interim they emailed us some preliminary information, forms to complete and a list of items to compile and bring to the seminar.
We attended the seminar where they reviewed the pitfalls of owning timeshares. It was eye opening. They explained how they go about transferring the (s).
After this group presentation my husband and I met with a counselor. She reviewed our documents, and explained the timeline and steps that would occur. It was anticipated to take approximately 90 days before the transfer would occur and we needed to stay current with the maintenance fees. As it was the end of June we were hoping for an October transfer date. We paid the fee ($3,500 for each of the two time share ) and received a 100% guarantee in writing. The counselor explained that e shares were somewhat desirable by their potential clients and they most likely had a purchaser already lined up.
There was some additional paper work that was mailed to us. Some required notarized signatures.
As it turned out we were told that since we had used all our points for calendar year 2014 the transfers most likely would not occur until after the first of the year. We either misunderstood or were told incorrect information at the seminar as we were under the impression that we should use all our points for 2014 and we did.
In December we received two separate letters (one for each of the two ) from that the transfer of ownership for our time shares was complete.
Although it cost us $7,000 to successfully transfer our time share we are saving $4,142.22 in maintenance fees for 2015 alone and much, much more in the years to come. And we are relieved that our beneficiaries will not inherit life ever lasting fees for something they did not want. On the flip side we would have paid at least $10,000 and had use of the timeshare points for an additional five years but we were concerned that would find a way(s) to reduce what they would buy back the for.
During our meeting, she spent some time explaining how she had helped another client book a tour of Europe with her granddaughter, and it was going to be a great trip. I left the meeting with high expectations. The next evening at 10 pm she sent an email and said she did not have authorization to book train tickets in Europe, and it would take 48 hours to get approval for that, so she would not be able to help me. I wrote back asking what this meant, was she saying she did not want to help me, as in I was being let go as a client? I asked if she could respond so I would know whether to get another travel agent. I received no response until the next day. When she responded, her reply was a very terse, We're slammed this week - no apology, no referral to another agent. So I wasted four days and was abruptly dismissed.
