Absolutely. Bring them in. Work to death wringing out every contact they have. Then spit them out. The employees only exist to provide sales for their immediate contact list. Real estate people often live in a bubble. They live and breathe it. All their people are in the industry. They assume everyone else is too. It’s all about constant exposure and bombardment. This lender is too far deep and just assumes you are into the business like they are and enjoy the game and phone calls rather than trying to move on to th next step in the process so you can resume your life.

So it’s on you to prompt them to give their best final offer?

Wow... that is fun. Immaculate Grid 88 8/9: 🟩🟩🟩 🟩⬜️🟩 🟩🟩🟩 My score was 267. Picking Lou as ROY and Cecil Fielder as the Tiger/Blue Jay helped a lot I guess.

My only surprise is it took until now for this to come out. You just know he peeked in the shower or bedroom on her. I'm 100% convinced of that. He probably paid some dude to take her out and all that just so he would report back to him on all of her tricks.

Nobody is leaving anybody behind. Just because you try to address one action doesn't mean you are ignoring the other thing. Supporting Breast Cancer research doesn't mean you don't give a **** about prostate cancer. Or black lives for that matter.

Does AA apply to sports? I know the answer. Just being rhetorical.

He sure did. I cringe when I see people share him.

but the displaced white people could move to other nicer neighborhoods. The displaced black people couldn't. Not because they weren't capable. They weren't allowed to.

This will prove out my theory that when your lone all star is a reliever then it means your team sucks.

Throw in the building of urban freeways through middle class black neighborhoods as something else that helped set them back, due to direct government action. They had choices where to build and they almost always picked the black neighborhoods. Some would say they were targeted. I 375 in Detroit is a prime example but it played out in places like Baltimore and San Francisco.

people going to bitch about the training staff on that one too?

My view on the AA issue is that if blacks and minorities benefit from that when maybe some shouldn't.... oh well. There's so many other examples where they get the short end that I can overlook this if it happens. There's always outliers and anecdotes to show it might not be needed or someone got hosed but.... life isn't fair. We don't always get what we want and what better way to start adulthood than learning that. (This isn't directed at you Romad, just a general statement). I have a friend who claims his hatred of UM football, etc. is because they didn't accept him and he had to settle for EMU. He's got a good job. Met his wife at EMU. He's not close enough for me to ask "What the **** are you bitching about? You turned out ok" and following up on G2's points... if those issues that crop up earlier were addressed then I'd be fine addressing AA at the college level.

I enjoyed the great lakes shipwreck museum at Whitefish Point. That was over 10 years ago. If you hate Gordon Lightfoot you might not like it though. I really liked it up there and would love to make it back. Life is different in the UP. I see the attraction.

We have suppliers in town who were looking forward to Greenfield Village. I told them not a good idea. I wasn't going. It looks like July 5th at 1:30 am.... everywhere you look it's smoke. Like everyone's having a bonfire in their backyard. The sun rises through my bedroom window and I see this orange ball surrounded by haze.

I learned in my space readings that his uncle Lee Silver was a key geologist that trained the Lunar astronauts. His guidance led to the discovery by Apollo 15 of the Genesis Rock. They thought initially to be part of the original formation of the moon but later discovered it was 'only" 4 billion years old.

how are the bookies supposed to know what the line is going to be?

Yeah I saw that. It was in response to someone complaining her boyfriend/husband had her full name

Tigers went 15 years between Gold Glove winners, Pettis in 1989 and Pudge in 2004. Tigers have only won one since 2009.... Ian Kinsler won in 2016.

my wife's list is a mess.. "Sharon" "Sharon work" (Not the first Sharon's work Number, a different Sharon that she works with) things like that. Just random names, some last names, some nicknames... a few Aunt ***, Uncle ***.... and some uses of Polish references because the tradition is certain aunts/uncles get the Polish designation.

6-3... Roberts/BK/Barret join the libs. This was a big one I think.

He was on the 2006 team so he's "one of the boys". The casual fan who has the game on during the summer because nothing else is on and they aren't really paying attention. They ask "why do we always get rid of our good players?" Brandon Inge fans. They are glad to to still see Dan Petry on the broadcast and care about "pick to stick" or whatever it is. They don't like national broadcasts because "those aren't our guys" and complain about them being biased. The umps hate the Tigers.

My real estate friends insist the market is still good. They are busy. I thought when rates jumped it would cool but they insist it's not. Of course they always say everything is good because they want to encourage you to buy/sell. Dirks is much better than I expected him to be. He gives really good insight into techniques. It's like he's talking to a peer sometimes.

His defense team will say that what they were looking at wasn't real, he was just showing off because he's a salesman.
