The lost pet signs always tug at my heartstrings, but at what point do you stop?

This is great advice. I did this (volunteering), and it was great b/c it benefited others, it re-focused my mind on something positive/helpful, it kept me busy (so that I wasn’t idle/thinking about sad stuff). Staying busy for awhile was really good for me. I found it easier to process things when the breakup wasn’t…

Holy sweet mary mother of jesus christ in jesus name amen.

I want BD Wong instructional videos in every topic imaginable.

Shitty agents abound. In MA, you were only required to take a 24 hours course (read: 20 hours after breaks etc) that you could complete in a weekend, then take a test, and you were a certified salesperson. Now it’s up to 40, but you still get plenty of people who say “well I suck at everything else I tried, or…

If your price point is below a threshold or the home is older, those are selling features, especially if the home doesn’t really have charm or “curb appeal.” Certain buyers are looking for certain things. These line items quickly add up to over $20k.

Yup. We just had our roof recoated, but guy said to replace it would be about $50k. Any good inspector would point that out, and that number comes right off the top of anything anybody but a fool would offer to pay for your house.

Yeah, this is one of the things we look for in the disclosures-- most of the houses being sold around our area are 50+ years old, in varying states of livability. Roofs are one of those unglamorous things that need to be in good repair, or else you’re in for a costly fix that you don’t get to admire much.

Where I live, hail is a thing. Everybody knows somebody whose roof’s gotten wrecked by icy death crumbs, and everyone knows 20XX was a bad year where all the houses in the area took huge damage. Or you can find someone who does.

I once viewed a house built in the late 70s and they actually extolled the “original appliances” like a nearly-40-year-old dishwasher was a plus.

It doesn’t sound like your friend really did his part to get the best use out of his agent. If your home is small and your agent is busy, they’ll still answer questions and give you input, but you’re going to have be proactive to get it.

The new roof thing can be a huge selling point if you are trying to sell a house that is...say, 30 years old. A new roof can run $15K + so knowing you have 20-30 years before you even need to worry about it is key.

Both Ethan and your opinion can fuck off. He killed 3 people and feels no remorse. He’s old enough to know his parents are shitheads. The legal system has been telling him that for years.

Couch then showed the police a badge and something that looked like an ID card

Wow Billy! How’d you get all those presents this year?

I especially like to confuse them with the question, “What comes after ‘L’?” Before elbowing them in the face.

My last few workouts have been like this. My levels of strength and energy go up and down, no matter how well I eat, hydrate and sleep. I just remind myself that it’s not going to be forever, and hope that the next one will be better.

While I agree with all of the reasons for having bad workouts already stated (anybody say sleep? sleep is key), there is also another thing to remember: bad workouts happen for no reason at all. Sometimes you’re just tired, your body just needs to rest.
