Gobblin' Crank and or Goblin Crank Are added to the list of bands I might have to see for the name.

Maybe. In another world. But this world of corruption will absorb all information and AI will pretty easily identify any dissent. Or do you think the folks standing in line to get even richer beyond imagination are going to restrict data access? You won't be able to buy the rope, because of your search history.

Despite Elon having the back side of his hear look like nearly every guy at the nursing home... he got that salute pretty close the first time, but point on the second time. Good news is 1/3 of the country is gleeful, 1/3 is terrified. And 1/3 thinks Elon is cood and doesn't know what the fuck a Nazi is. But that symbol dealie is sort of cool, what's the big deal?

I saw that sell off as well. It was apparently shutting down Pilot's Oil Trading? Hell I didn't know there were anything but gas stations with high covers that won't fuck up my RV trailer on the way out of San Antonio.

If you are concerned about claw back just tell you siblings not to use the money you give them until Christmas. It should all be sorted by then. But this thread reminds me, my Mom passed in August, and one of the best things for me as the primary on everything, was that they had their cremation and end of life stuff in order. I was so happy about this for me that my wife and I did the same thing. Neptune Society was who we used. When my Dad passes the same easy peasy system will be used. It was REALLY nice to simply have the hospice person contact them, and then about the only question I needed to answer was the quantity of death certificates we would need. And Hospice is awesome if you get the right one. Helps a lot with end of life stuff, we as individuals simply do not have much experience with. ANYTHING that keeps a child from the vultures at the funeral home is worth a lot more than the $3500? we paid to take that concern off the table. Sorry for you loss. And I can only imagine the frustration of trying to help your mome. and indirectly siblings with good financial advice, tossed in the circular file. But seems like a split the money, tell SS, Federal government and move on. Or just delay distribution of the money if you have any real concerns, it's in your control.

Be careful what you wish for. Team sucks under son. Dallas won't give free money to Cowboys for whatever the next ask is. Then you find out there is an agreement for a new Dell Stadium in Round Rock, and the logos for The Texas Cowboys start circulating... Made me smile all over again! Anyhow misery loves company I think we all can agree.

Well... Why would such a wonderful system of self aggrandizement without the downside of accountability be changed? For Wins? For Championships? Who do you think has groomed and taught the new grasshopper? Your post actually brought a smile to this old Oiler face!

As a born and bred Oiler Fan I have to watch fucking Tennessee bastardize the memory of my former hometown team. And my newly minted competitive Texans still have a way to climb the mountain. But I have hope! If you are a Cowboys fan what hope do you have? That Jerry dies? Jerry's system is fantastic! He makes most of the big decisions on personnel. He gives record breaking contracts that on a per snap basis have proven to be beyond stupid. But he has the one thing he needs most! A scapegoat! IF 500 coaches could win it all, with Jerry's amazing personnel choices, why the fuck doesn't Jerry just step in for one season and coach the fucking team? Because... that would eliminate his secret genius preservation mechanism. A lack of actual accountability for the teams performance UNLESS it's the obvious genius of picking a team any of 500 coaches can win with! Jerry owning the Cowboys, is the one light that takes the bitterness away from my painful Oiler saga...

I think at this point in our life cycle, the main thing we should be happy about is that our win/loss record is not BUFU U any longer

That's actually my only hesitation. The KA stuff is apparently NOT that good from a reliability standpoint. I actually like some of the GE profile stuff the best. Interestingly my Dad is actually interesting in the quality and not wanting to buy based on that. AND the one thing that makes me think maybe spend more money is if my Father passed and my Sister and I see how a 30 day plus furnished rental might fare for us? THEN I would really care about reliability! I have no doubt unless the market collapses that the house will sell. But if rates are high, that could hurt my top line number. As JJ says above - I would always spring for a Home Shield Policy as a seller, as it's a cheap safeguard for my moral side, as I never want to screw somebody over, even accidentally. So maybe the shit Kitchen Aid wins out! 😉

The idea is I am going to replace the double oven. I think I could get by with a range oven and a speed micro, convection micro, Advantium or whatever branding you want to call a microwave that can function as an oven. Maybe, but it was my folks full time place. And as somebody who likes to cook and entertain, I (we) use both the double ovens on our range, most anytime we have anyone over. What we like the best is the smaller upper oven, because we can preheat it quickly and perfect pizzas, and roasting vegetables. A LOT more efficient that the full size convection oven. After looking through a bunch of comps at and above price range, I have decided I don't really need to go too big on the oven. As in don't need to drop in a larger 36" unit, as I like my cabinet layout better with the same 30 inch spacing replacing the cooktop and the range. This smaller profile microwave, and the double oven kitchen aid freestanding range (with the elevated control panel) with a re-skin of the dishwasher to stainless steel is probably the cheapest of my choices. Cost breakdown $300 for DW stainless front, $1100 for micro and $2300 for range. $3600 for the look, sounds good from the financial math side right now. ROI

That's like our Profile over range microhood. But with the double oven range we rarely use it as an oven. Unless we are trying to cook some extra casseroles for a big family event on the wife''s side. I am thinking that if I have a built in (likely a drawer) that can operate as a second conventional oven would check that second oven box. Or third oven if a double oven range. I am leaning toward conversion of the Double oven space into some sort of pantry space. Or make a hybrid pantry/ micro-oven space to take advantage of the existing electrical. This is more my second choice if I can't find a good home for an under counter unit. Grays are out, and were never my preference even when they were in. Not enough room for a freestanding tub (but I tried!). Want a microwave that could double as conventional oven as well, preferably under counter unit to free up space for pantry space. Clarify on the "except for badass range? I'm reading as go bigger on the range? Thanks for all input. I will have some time to sit down and lay out some options this week while freezing... assuming the power stays on.

Oak Knoll/183 It was a blip. But did reset everything.

Well just got a brownout here in Austin. I will be so pissed if the grid goes down again!

What? I'm a Guy! I don't even look at instructions until things are half assembled! 😉 I spent about 3 hours total with two designers doing a walk through on the house along with my Dad. The first was a designer turned lead listing consultant for the better Agent group. The second was a designer that was going to go a bit beyond what even I was thinking, but not much. That proposal of $127K for the full project turnkey, with basically the identical ideas that I had already laid out, was as much confirmation as consultation. That was important to me as feedback. But it was more important to me as far as each designer mirroring my ideas. Especially the stuff my Dad was very unsure about. My Dad was all of a sudden cool with the extra expenses I said were necessary for top dollar. A third builder/realtor I interviewed probably spent two hours brainstorming and validated the actual designer gals. I am going to spend money with my Interior Designer niece. Who is kicking ass with her work, and I know that she's will give it some extra detailed thought for us. As well as likely insisting on not charging me the true value of her time. She's gong to be the last validation gate keeper on my choices. More than willing to pay for an expert here. The transformation of my home was pretty radical after I did a reconstruction after it flooded back in 2021. About the only thing I was mildly surprised about was that LVP was the first flooring mentioned by both designers. The hardwood flooring pick was a direct result of the suggestion of varigated hardwoods by the listing designer. I also have colors from here as well. All of which I will have my interior designer niece vet or re-spec. The Reason I post on this thread about this is for a more seasoned perspective from the sales side of the equation. I know a lot of you guys are agents as well!
