[quote]Denise Richards as Christmas Jones (The World is Not Enough)[/quote] I thought Christmas only comes once a year....
I was for it a the time. Going to the games a few years before the pick was so boring and frustrating, Then you would have these teams visit with high profile athletes and I was jealous that the Saints had none of that. It was a franchise player with the potential to be the best RB in the NFL. I...
The build is crappy because Americans want the most you can get and the largest house possible for the cheapest price. You can use premium materials and hire an outstanding builder, but you will pay for it. For example, I recently designed a house with help from an architect using premium materi...
I heard on Fox business that the NBA made 6 Billion last year, and the WNBA made 60 million. That is the reason for the low salaries. With women's basketball becoming more popular, and some big names are joining next year, I would assume revenue would increase somewhat. Their goal should be t...
This is one example of advantages of having an HOA. I am with you. People are incapable of being considerate of others. It is like they live in their own world. I bet if you approached them about it they would get offended. Small dogs are ok. Those big ones that stink from playing in the m...

re: Very liberal Trump hating FB friend

Posted by Mariner on 4/16/24 at 9:58 am
I know a guy I worked with over ten years ago, who at the time was a life long Democrat. Over the past several months he has been posting stuff bashing Biden and the liberal media. I asked him on FB if he left the Democrat party, which he did and is now independent. ...
Look at the traffic of CFA vs Chipotle vs McDonald's. Like I said I was impressed and I would dine in a McDonalds now if I needed to. I just think its too little too late to achieve the old days and win back the masses. People moved on. What they should bring back is a nice modern gymset/p...
[quote]8. welcoming eating environment.[/quote] My kids wanted to eat inside instead of the drive-thru. I forgot that this location was newly renovated. It was impressive, modern, and welcoming. However, no one was in there at the time. I think its declining reputation of being a family resta...
I don't understand why pit bulls have yet to have ownership outlawed. They have proven time and time again that they are dangerous. This reminds me of the time a pit bull owner I know brought his pit bull to a company dog contest (which was full of kids) at his place of employment. He told me t...
I drive in the left lane at times when exceeding the speed limit passing slower traffic on the right. However, I monitor the road behind me and move over when someone closes in. I set the cruise control so I am not modulating speed which pisses people off. You would be surprised at the amount of ...

Real Estate Market

Posted by Mariner on 4/9/24 at 8:36 pm
I recently closed on a house. The real estate agent I have been dealing with over the past few months told me today that she has been busy as hell the past month with all sorts of buyers wanting to see/purchase houses. It surprised me given the interest rates and inflation. What gives? I am g...
[quote]Private schools are more than just catholic schools. Why this board hates on Catholics is beyond me. There are Episcopalian, Baptist, non-denominational, non-religious and secular private schools. There are schools dedicated to arts and music. Others focus heavily on stem. Competition will ke...
[quote]Don't buy a bigger vehicle for other people's kids. I'd strongly suggest not buying a bigger house for other people's kids[/quote] I appreciate the advice but I am not moving to a bigger house just to have kids over, but it is a nice to have. I am moving because we have been busting at the...
[quote]They're probably not coming to your house because you have rules of some sort. Who woulda thunk it.[/quote] This reminds me of my MIL and BIL. He was 13 and had a sleepover. His mom invited me and the wife to come over. We get there and it was college football primetime so I sat down an...
I am in a similar situation house wise. My house is just too small and I would be lying to myself if I wanted it to be the hangout. I have a nice playset with swings in the backyard but they rarely do anything with it other than swing. We have had his close friends over but I don’t push it. Th...
[quote]The only racial division I personally witness daily is on MSM and insane leftist. I live in SW Louisiana and my experience may be different than others living elsewhere.[/quote] If suddenly TV/radio and social media disappeared, you would be unaware that racial division exists. I have had...
Have the mindset that when you leave your house you are representing yourself which includes but not limited to character, personality, responsibility, values, and ethics. You never know who you will see or meet that day, and you don't want to wish you looked better afterward. My grandfather in...
I'll admit that I have not been to church in a while, and am not super serious about religion, but I know that those who are religious and who you see at church are great parents, adults, and children. They all seem to be level headed and understanding for the most part. I am religious in other...
I bought some stock yesterday. I did it with the intention to contribute to his campaign and show support of him with all these legal battles. I don't expect to make money off of this stock, but if it helps him get in office I will get a return back in other ways when he gets the country back on t...
[quote]You never know when something big will arrive, not destroying your financial holding and starting over is well worth the cost and piece of mind health insurance brings.[/quote] On the flip side, when it happens you see all these gofundme posts with a sob story and a plea for help. Ins...
