An agency that I’ve not heard rumors from before thinks referrals may be here early next week.
I’m going to be in and out of meetings the rest of the day. If anyone has information that might back this up (or anything on the cut off date) you may want to send it to the mod address as well as mine.

Arrive early next week seems a little much to believe, but being sent early next week is more likely, arrive by friday???? sounds about right!!!

Ladybug4 or anyone else…. I’m so new here I’m still trying to figure everything out. Wondering if someone could tell me what ” Mods, check out the Nov. room” means? Who are Mods, and where is the Nov. room? ha! Sorry to sound so dumb. lol! :)

Hi whenowhen,
If you look at the links on the right hand side near the top of the screen – there is one that says Forum – click on that and it will take you to the discussion forum. The Nov room refers to private areas for people with each month’s LID, so you won’t be able to see those.
Love

Whenowhen,
Along the right side you’ll see a section for “Important Posts.” If you’re new here you should read up on A Look Around the Site and the FAQ, plus the rules of the site. It will help you a lot to catch up on what goes on here.
July 27th, 2007 at 12:01 pm
I’m soooo excited!!!!!! I would love for this rumor to turn into a R4 or R5. I will keep my fingers crossed and hope to get my referral very, very, very soon. Hurry up referrals. I’m tired of waiting.
I’m Next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o) :o) :o)

This is not a rumor, just my calculations. There was a post 2 weeks ago of someone reporting how many dossiers were logged in for dates from now until middle of December for a large China only agency. Although I don’t know positively that I have the same agency, I am with a large China only agency in the US. When I added up all of those logged in (from her figures), from now until Dec 5, it was 80 dossiers. Earlier this year, according to the figures directly from my agency, there was a referral batch that included 81 dossiers (I think it was March). Not making any predictions here, just stating the facts.
July 27th, 2007 at 12:34 pm
Why did I just get shivers up my spine…..Maybe because of the rumors and all the open possibilities??? I LOVE this time of the month. I’m pulling for ALL you November LIDers!!!!!!!
July 27th, 2007 at 1:03 pm
These rumors give me such hope!!! Even if they turn out to be just that. At least they get me through the day!!!! What is the Nov room? So ajhoerr, your figures show through Dec 5? I’m November 22, 2005!!!! And cant stand it!!!! I’m super excited for lovingalyssa!!! Can’t imagine KNOWING I get to be next!!!!
July 27th, 2007 at 1:24 pm

For all of you asking, if you want to be added to an LID group (ex. Nov 05), click on Forum, then General Discussion, then If You’d Like to Be Added to an LID group. RQ explains everything on the first page. Hope this helps.

Sorry, they’re not here yet, as in terra firma (or maybe they are!!!). By next I mean I’m expecting my referral to be in my hands on Tuesday. I mean, I truly do believe they’re in the air, a done deal, arrival is immenient. . .
July 27th, 2007 at 3:08 pm
Has anyone heard of a cut off date yet?? You November LIDers have all the rest of us sitting on the edge of our seats. By the way, I am so happy for all of you!
July 27th, 2007 at 3:09 pm
adomom…RQ will likely post something on the blog later today I am sure..nothing is concretely known..but we are hoping what is already posted above on the main blog will be verified this pm…
July 27th, 2007 at 3:22 pm
I do know that a package was picked up in Beijing today and headed to our agency.

I’m not in the Nov room and I can’t get in until RQ let’s me in! And I can’t wait to be apart of the incredible bunch of people who are humble and modest above all other groups!
In the mean time…Is it what DougH said that makes you think referrals are on the way – or is there more to tell?
Please do tell all you know…
Thanks

July 27th, 2007 at 4:18 pm
Driving me all out CRAZY!!! What do you think the cut off date is??? Man, what a LONG weekend this will be!!!! I soooo want November 22 to be included but I do not that would be a lot. 11/22/05
July 27th, 2007 at 4:34 pm
It’s taken this rumor to flush me out and post after over a year of reading only, but reading every day. I’m sitting here at my desk, finally feeling like after 20 long months, we might/might/might hear something soon.
I think I’m gonna cry… :)

Hey, you guys are being brutal! Give a Dec 05 Lidder a bone!!! What’s up RQ. Are your meetings done yet? How ’bout now? How bout now? Anti spam word bottles, I’m headed for the wine right now!
July 27th, 2007 at 4:48 pm
I’m with Grover. You Nov peeps are driving us Dec folks to drink!
Or at least, to check this blog like 15 times a minute. Sheesh. If i’m this bad now…
LID Dec 8, 2005
July 27th, 2007 at 4:50 pm
Ok there is really nothing to tell at this point. You guys know as much as we do. That a package has been shipped from Beijing. But no one knows what is in the package it could be TAs or SNs…anything. There was a brief excitement that there might be more but it did not pan out. With the cut-off date…. again no one knows.
Sorry, I wish there was more. RQ may know more but we’ll have to wait and see
Hope

July 27th, 2007 at 4:53 pm
Guys, guys, as c-the-g says, nothing much different from what RQ already posted above. And nothing certain, and we can’t confirm a cutoff, and even if we could the date would not be a surprise to any of you. Forgive us our bursting excitement; after 20 months crawling across a desert of waiting, any thimblefull of info seems like a river, like an ocean.
Oh, and on top of being humble, we’re sexy.
Very, very sexy.
July 27th, 2007 at 4:57 pm
Dido what threebluesteps said…..
Hope
July 27th, 2007 at 5:00 pm
so very sexy, just voluptuous with information
July 27th, 2007 at 5:08 pm
Nov., you’re torturing us! Why on earth would you do that?? Anyway, the buzz is so big this month, that it means the let-down will be HUGE!! But I still love the buzz anyway. I live for this stuff!!
July 27th, 2007 at 5:11 pm
You guys kill me…stop with the overkill for the November room already…too funny (but not if you can’t get in!!).
Honestly..the packages today do not look like referrals. I think they may be SN TAs…but I cannot be 100% sure.
The cut-off date..we don’t know yet…and I don’t think we will know till next week…but honestly I can’t be sure of that either…
I am thinking RQ will come up with a way better summary of things..this is all we really know…I just wanted to help you out a little by telling you what we know. Lets hope what Dough H says (see above) that we will see some more packages arrive next week…
RQ..please don’t be mad at me for reporting what I think..but those guys looked pretty worried…HopeforRiley and threeblue probably did a better job at telling everyone stuff…okay I am done…
July 27th, 2007 at 5:42 pm
Wow – I hope I fit in OK w/ the Nov Room people…y’all sound so wonderful…I do think I can be as humble as the rest of you seem…LOL!

Ahhhh…but us in the December Room are vixens…
:)
July 27th, 2007 at 7:04 pm
c-the-g: “a better job”? You’ve been one ofd the few sane voices today. I’ve been peeing myself with overly optimistic excitment. You’ve held the fort. Hope RQ rates this afternoon’s info tonight sometime, so I can get back to my real life/job/deadlines…
July 27th, 2007 at 7:10 pm
Not only vixens but intelligent, bodacious and we can cook! Anti-spam word: bottles – again!!
July 27th, 2007 at 7:14 pm
What is ‘this afternoon’s info’? SPILL IT!!!!!!!!!! I’m not going to beg.
OK, yes I am….PLEASE, PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE??
July 27th, 2007 at 7:15 pm
OK guys,
Things have not changed much from this morning from my perspective but RQ often gets many many more PM’s than us lowly mods. :)
She has had a busy day and will check in once she gets a chance.
It is way to early to state ANY absolutes.
Just be aware that it is not quiet any more and we are bound to hear something definitive soon.
I have heard of the rumor above and a couple others are saying similar but you have to wonder how much they feed off each other.
I think things are going to start to come together and I am as anxious as anyone hear to see what the rumorqueen gets today.
Hang in there. It is getting to be the exciting part of the month.
AW
July 27th, 2007 at 7:45 pm
We do not have much more than this morning and we are waiting for the queen to check her PM’s and report back. I am as anxious as any of you.
Things are iffy but definitely not as quiet.
AW
July 27th, 2007 at 7:53 pm
This is going to be a long weekend if I don’t here something soon. I’m hoping someone will here something and be kind enough to share with the others. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the big package coming in is a large group referrals. Let’s all cross our fingers. Maybe that will help speed things up (a girl can wish can’t she?)
