  1. Well first of all, I never once said I hate nor did I say anything that would imply I hate her, so nice reading skills. I said over-rated. The definition of that term means people over-rate her talent. That does not mean she has no talent. This concludes the English lesson for today.
  2. This thread is starting to make me think 80% of professionals suck, which means 80% of Surly are screwing people.
  3. Oh damn, I can’t believe I forgot this profession. Winner. By a mile. I’ve told the story many times of meeting this particular charlatan and talking with him one on one for quite some time. He’s a giant pussy.
  4. I remember your specific post because it immediately made me feel much better about them getting him. There was one other poster who also called it, maybe CTJ or one of the other recruiting board guys.

    Getting old sucks

    Could be. But my closest friends I’ve known for 50 years. As you can imagine when you’ve been friends that long, there are few topics that don’t get discussed. And I hear them often talking about certain things they will be doing 20 years from now. But, I guess it could be just optimism.

    Getting old sucks

    My wife and I were talking yesterday. We’ve both had some health issues and as a result are appropriately aware of the fact that we are starting to get up there in age and who knows how long we’ve got left on this earth. Could be a long time, or could be less than that. However, I’m fascinated by my similarly aged friends. It seems like none of them have any thought whatsoever that they won’t make it another 25+ years. They certainly may. Many of them are in very good physical shape. But it’s odd to me that they automatically assume it and just don’t consider any other scenario.
  7. My biased view of the RB room: Wisner - great after contact, great at cutbacks, pretty slow, reliable, good attitude. Solid contributor but not Ricky Williams, obviously. Baxter - showed a few tiny flashes as a freshman but basically a non factor until there’s evidence he can not only get on the field, but also produce. I’m skeptical. Gibson - the fumbling is slightly less of an issue than it was and there were a few tiny flashes at times, but also a lot of bury his head into the line and gain 1. I think he’s got something but he needs a fresh start I guess. Simon - flashed several times but obviously still learning protections, etc. I’d like to see him get more carries. Clark - just meh. Average at everything. Ricky Stewart - whispers of an issue there? Thin RB room, yet again.
  8. I forgot about realtors. That’s a good one. As I’ve stated in the real estate thread, I went out and got my own license after dealing with a few absolute realtor idiots. I handle my own transactions, and do family and friends if they need it. What I saw would enrage a typical consumer. The actual concept of a realtor is not terrible. Lawyers can do the paperwork, but are not equipped to deal with the analysis of properties and negotiations necessary to buy or sell a property. The problem is that 90% of realtors do a terrible job on both of those areas as well. And the commission structures are stupid. Expensive homes have way too high of commissions.
  9. A food truck park!
  10. Welcome to surly Preston. Eff Frisco (Plano dad here).
  11. Finebaum is the poster child example of a worthless human being.
  12. This is the truth. They’ve bought a lot of the roofing companies and those have become huge scams. Also plumbing,
  13. Unnecessary dental work. It’s huge. Sorry that you’ve got mouth full of fake cavities.
  14. One of my close friends knew Stephenson intimately. Said he’s an idiot. Which we all know from his disaster performance as CEO of AT&T.
  15. I can’t decide which industry is loaded with the most scam professionals. There are so many potentials candidates. Here are the three that stick out to me: 1. Air conditioning companies 2. Dentists 3. Lawyers I’m getting my AC fixed and it’s unbelievable how unethical and shitty these companies are. But my experience with dentists and lawyers is also pretty bad.
