  1. Obviously I don’t know your specific situation. But I work in the real estate business and see all the time things that cost sellers and buyers tens of thousands of dollars and they don’t even realize it. For example, sellers being shown pricing comps and recommendations that are poorly done. Or selling agents who aren’t responsive, causing buyers to move on. There are another dozen examples I could give. It’s great you got a very low price to sell your house. And maybe financially it was a great deal. But it might be difficult for many folks to really know whether they netted the maximum funds or not. I guess the last thing I would say is if someone is willing to do that work for such a small fee, it does raise some questions about the quality of representation you are getting, and what risks you are being exposed to without realizing it. .
  2. Just out of curiosity, would you still feel as good about the transaction if you found out you left $14k of price on the table?
  3. I didn’t realize he may not be Ketch. I thought that was confirmed. If he’s not, he might be really confused right now. He’s wondering why he got so many negs to so many posts. I wouldn’t have negged him if I’d known Ketch wasn’t confirmed.
  4. I will not reserve judgement. I’m serving it up starting right now.
  5. I can’t believe it’s the 30th anniversary . P1 day 1. I never liked skip Bayless, but I thought Cooperstein was incredible. I was trying to remember what online site preceded HornFans. I think it might have been a section of a news group or something like that. Can’t remember. I’ve spent way too much time on the same online sites and radio channels over the last 20+ years.
  6. There are very few posters on this site I remember. I just don’t pay attention to who posts something, just what got posted. In your case, you have exploded into my memory banks as the person on this site whose every prediction has been wrong. I can’t even think of one prediction that was right. I could rattle off a dozen wrong ones easy. You’re famous!
  7. 11 shots within 3 feet in the last several minutes OU has missed
  8. that might catch some kidney stones.
  9. What kept me off the ledge when Texas hired Terry was the belief that no other top coach was available. If that’s not true, that makes the hire even worse.
  10. This is what puzzles me. I know for a fact Davis is highly thought of in the coaching community, hence why LSU took him. He obviously can develop players. But the recruiting was good, not great. I don’t like losing him because of the fear of the unknown, but it could also be an opportunity to get someone that is better. Have no idea whether Wright will be.
  11. I quit following this thread closely because it seems there are mostly two types of posters: those that have closed their minds to the possibility of alien life, and those that keep believing all the bullshit being spewed. As to all of the alien stories today, I spend no time at all paying attention because it’s impossible to determine if someone is just grifting or trying to get attention. If real conclusive evidence really emerges, we will all know it pretty quick. To the closed minded crowd, for some people like myself it isn’t religion or defying the laws of physics. The “laws” of physic have been broken many times over hundreds of years not because the laws have changed but because man’s understanding of physics has evolved greatly. I’m just saying it can and will happen again. Whether it’s time travel, or time and space discontinuity, man can and will make new discoveries. So I don’t rule out those possibilities and really no one should. Because if you do, you are saying man has learned everything there is to learn about physics, which history has shown isn’t true. But the bigger reason alien life shouldn’t be dismissed is because of our existence. It’s not necessarily a religious question. For some people it is, and they could be right or wrong. But our existence can’t be denied. By definition our existence implies there are things we don’t understand about the world. How did we get here? What is this? Where do we go, if anywhere? Those are monumental questions, and dismissing aliens as a possibility when these types of bigger questions exist is a bit silly.
  12. Oh my god! A DB turned his head. What advanced technique.
  13. Shoulda had Poona clogging the middle.
  14. 6’4” 305 is fantastic. If he’s got some decent athleticism that will be a good fill of the DT gap.
  15. What amazes me is that negotiation at the luxury/high end isn’t even done often. If you are selling a modest home, that 3%, of which the broker often takes 30%, doesn’t leave a ton of money for the agent, given the long hours and expertise required. But for a higher priced house? The fees are ridiculous.
  16. I think the country is so broken that even a war against an aggressor that is clearly in the wrong still won’t bring the country together. Just look at Ukraine. Now it’s all about self interest, elections, and power, not good vs evil.
  17. Of course there are going to be wins and losses in a tough league like the Big 12. The record at this point is not the biggest concern. The biggest issue is what you see on the court every game. Poor defense. Poor defending of the three. A lack of hustle from some players, a stagnant offense with minimal movement. Poor shooting. Inconsistency. Weak switch offs on D. No exploitation of other team’s switch-offs. The list of bad basketball is long. While that Baylor win is great, I actually wasn’t very impressed with Baylor’s hustle or focus. If the team starts playing a lot better in the coming weeks, that would be encouraging but I’m doubtful.
  18. Subscribed. We are also planning to head there. Still working our time and itenerary but Isle of Islay is part of it due to peaty scotch obsession.
