  1. I would have told him it would be another grand to not post his search history to all of his friends and family on Facebook. CHIEF
  2. Same. I have to put my face up against the little top screened section, to see out, of the Port-A-Potty when taking a piss at our tailgate. CHIEF
  3. From the folks that can't qualify to purchase a home at the current prices (first timers, middle class, young people). When the market corrects, and that $450k house has been on the market for 22 months, and has had a dozen price drops is suddenly back to a realistic value of $295k. The owner only paid $225k, so he is still making a profit. Sellers are going to have to accept a declining market, or they will have that millstone for a lot longer than they want. Some sellers are receptive, some aren't. We have a house at $760k, that is the most valuable property in a mediocre subdivision, he wants $760k, it won't bring more than $650k. Put it on the market two weeks ago, hasn't had a single call or showing. People are going to have to get realistic. That takes time, but it is coming. The people that bought in 2020-2021 are going to get taken to the cleaners, they shouldn't move unless it is absolutely necessary. CHIEF
  4. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/housing-contract-activity-sinks-to-all-time-low-in-january-amid-high-rates-cold-weather-150240405.html We started calling our seller listings this morning. A few of the listings are vacant, or in estates. A lot of these folks want 2020-2021 prices for these homes, so basically the same price as when interest rates were 3%. It ain't gonna happen. They want to cut a fat hog, and get double, or triple what they initially paid for the property. Priced right, the homes will have a contract within a week. I think we are about to see a market correction on homes that were bought over ten years ago. The greed is finally going to be bled out of people. Forget $300k worth of profit, take your $100k and be content. Housing prices doubled in 2020-2021, and interest rates have now doubled. It isn't sustainable. This is finally going to give first time home buyers, middle income, and the youngs some relief. I can see this adversely effecting new home sales though. Building costs, in my neighborhood have now reached $225/sqft., not including land cost. 2300 sqft. homes are about $500k. CHIEF
  5. Living in NOLA, and making over a million a year would drive me to a gout ridden early grave. CHIEF
  6. Maybe not nuking. But there needs to be some accountability. CHIEF
  7. If a politician ran on nuking countries that hosted scammers, he would win 100% of the vote. People hate them with a vengeance. Studies show it is the third biggest industry in our country. Think about that, it is a multi-billion dollar industry, stealing money from our citizens. CHIEF
  8. Disloyalty is highly not tolerated in the organization? I mean, do they make you eat all of your vegetables to show loyalty? I'm out. CHIEF
  9. Both my Great Grandmother's wedding ring and my grandmother's were made of platinum. It was illegal to own gold when they got married. Both just look like white gold. Back in the 1980's platinum got really expensive. The country with the most platinum was Russia. They had whole pitchers and wash basins made out of it, like the Old West John Wayne Westerns. But instead of porcelain they were made of Platinum. They were worth, at the time, about $160k to $250k. CHIEF
  10. I told Mrs. CHIEF, she always loved Akina, and is ecstatic. I'm gonna go pull her panties off. Even if he shits the bed, I'll have tonight. CHIEF
  11. Got one today. The best was some dude that called and said my wife had a warrant in Bexar county. I asked him the date, he said it was in 2017. I informed him that she hasn't been to San Antonio since 2004, and she was with me, and she doesn't step out. CHIEF
  12. Back when my Dad passed and I was running his mobile deer blind business, I had a guy with an obvious Nigerian accent give me a call and raved about how he wanted one to hunt out of. He told me to go to a particular website, I think it was Google related, and upload a picture of one of the units (it was so he could list it at a too good to be true price, but still several thousand dollars, and I knew he was going to use it to scam people on Craig's List when that was still a thing). He said it is going to give you a password, and whatever you do, don't give the password out. So I did just that. I downloaded the picture and told him I had the picture loaded. What does he do? He wants me to give him the password. I told him, but you said not to give out the password. I was dragging my heels, so I tied him up for about 30 minutes. When I didn't give him the password, I had never heard such a beautiful profanity laced tirade as he unleashed on me. Finally, I told him I knew he was a scammer since I had picked up the phone, and that he was a complete idoit for thinking a decade old scam wasn't easily recognizable, and that my 90 year old grandfather wouldn't have even fell for it. I told him if he was this bad at scamming, I'm sure he was just as bad with the women, so he had to resort to getting fucked in the ass by his buddies to get any sexual action at all. I'm telling you, the worst insult you can give them is to question their sexuality and insinuate that they engage in a same sex interaction. I heard his cell phone leave his hand, then it hit something and immediately went dead. Mission accomplished. CHIEF
  13. Oh Trixie. Poco, you absolutely own this thread. CHIEF
  14. I get so tired of daily texts, people trying to sell health insurance, grocery stores wanting you to spend time to input what you buy so they can push you ads, as a realtor, companies asking for your listings that are fixer uppers. I've gotten so sick of it, I actually started fucking with them. Today: Brookshire Brothers wants the location you shop at most to get tailored offers. Me: I don't shop at your ghetto ass, price gouging piece of shit store, I go to HEB like most true blooded Texans. Another: Hi CHIEF, it is John at Dallas Metro Holdings, your fixer-upper buyer, do you have any listings that need a cash offer and quick close. Me: I send them any pristine listing over $1 million that we have listed. Flock Chicken Snacks: We have a new flavor out for you to try. Me: Is it gonna be $25 for a two ounce pack like all the rest. Seriously, you need to fire whoever is over your pricing. Healthcare person: CHIEF, would you like some pricing on a healthcare program for you and your family. Me: Sure, it is me, my wife, and our eight kids. Currently we pay about $400/month, and our prescriptions are free. I know people have to make a living, but I had ADT calling me after every house sale, trying to get me to go back and sell the new buyers an alarm system. Finally, I told them, you have a job, and I have a job. I sell houses, you sell alarm systems. It is not worth my time to go spend an hour trying to sell an item with a $10 commission. ADT no longer contacts me, and the healthcare texts have dropped to almost nothing. Anyone else get these texts and fire back some shitty responses? CHIEF
  15. He did, I had met him, at a campus function just one time for a brief second or two. The next time I saw him was at the Alamo Bowl in the early 2000's, when the Horns played in the Final Four. I walked up to him, and he greeted me by name. I was absolutely flabbergasted. CHIEF
  16. Staying out of WWII was our foreign policy stance until Dec. 7, 1941. Sure, we had a lend/lease deal with Great Britain. But I'm not sure what our stance would have been had we not been attacked by the Japanese. Our Declaration of War on the Japanese meant that Germany and Italy declared war on the US, being their allies. We didn't start it, but we damned sure finished it. Our wartime defense manufacturing complex was the only one left standing, and it pulled the US out of The Great Depression. Am I glad the US stepped in, absolutely. If the war had dragged on a few years longer, Germany would not have only had the best operational jet fighters, and the V2, it would also have had the atomic bomb, and thus would have been the first and only nuclear super power. If that would have happened, I would argue that there wouldn't have been less loss of life but more. Instead it ended up being the US, as that lone super power, and what we wanted was for the war to end. Luckily, our German engineers were better than the Russian's engineers until 1949.
  17. This is kinda where I am at. As was discussed earlier, the whole loss of life has been very tragic for both sides. I’m very anti-Russian from having nuclear attack drills, in school as a kid. CHIEF
  18. Here is RFK Jr. from about a year ago. He gives a good explanation of why he thinks the war was over security not territory. Russia has always had a stipulation that Ukraine could never join NATO, he explains why. If Ukraine is full of foreign workers, and foreign owned mining operations, rebuilding infrastructure, and are heavily invested in Ukraine, it would be very unwise for Russia to do something that would endanger, or kill, those workers. I'm not saying a agree with RFK Jr., it is just a different point of view that I can't really remember if it has been discussed, and I'm not going to check all 1750+ pages. CHIEF
  19. Really a 1,1. But I’ll do it 1,2 and 1,2 based on facial features. CHIEF
  20. We have an embarrassment of riches. The amount of guys that would be “Home Runs” during the Strong/Herman era don’t see a way to get on the field. Especially when you have high four star and a five star with 1-2 years more experience in front of you. I can see this in the secondary, and at WR. CHIEF
  21. I hunt and fish in them as well. So yeah, four pair of it is a long fishing trip. And your other pairs get fishy. They can be worn for something other than trekking. CHIEF
  22. Who is the RB coach at Arizona State, and is he a good friend of Nansen's. CHIEF
  23. Sounds like someone hasn't discovered the wonderful world of fleece lined technical pants. I get the Eddie Bauer First Assents for less than $50 on Amazon Prime. Got four pairs. CHIEF
  24. When Mrs. CHIEF and I were dating, we had a friend that was really high as fuck one night. He asked if we could boil him up some "Roman Numerals" they are still called Roman Numerals at my house. CHIEF
  25. I know the year, 1993. The date is somewhere between August 3rd, and August 7th. CHIEF
