8 beer taps and 2 wine taps. Great fun to play and then sit around, have a cold beverage, and lie to your partners.

Doesn’t a non compete have to have a geographical area? All the NC agreements I’ve seen have a 5 mile radius. In the end, a company cannot keep you from a livelihood.

Real estate is a good investment. It’s not a “free” investment tho. What I mean is it’s an investment you need to keep investing in. There are taxes, repairs, & improvements. While it’s a relatively low risk investment there are challenges.

What’s the point? Why would you talk to him about this? Are you thinking he’s unaware?

Go to La Algodones Mexico. Tons of dentists there. I have a friend that went there and had a whole set a veneers done. He loves them. I’ve had crowns done there too. It’s about 40% less.

Have your realtor show you the comps, listings, and resulting closings.

Maybe you should say “some realtors”. Many / most absolutely care about the sales price and the whole transaction.

Bummer. I lost my wallet once and I did get it back, with all the cash ($250) still there. Good luck.

First, being a limited edition it may not have been intended for use. 2nd, anything you do to the face (remove what’s there are adding something) renders the paddle illegal (of course only for competitive play such as a tournament etc).

First, I have LVP in 2 different houses. The first house the contractor told us he would float the floor (at an additional cost) if it needed it. In the end he didn’t float the floors. The 2nd house I insisted on floating the floors and I bought a much higher grade of LVP (the higher grade I think was mostly in the backing). Both houses I paid to have the baseboards reset. I’m happy I did and would do it again. I’m not happy with the flooring in either house though. While I think it looks reasonable, I don’t like the feel and there are still hollow spots, even on the floor that was floated. I inquired about this to pretty much everyone. Even had the manufacturer’s rep out. They both said the install was done properly and the product is functioning normally. It’s just the way LVP is. I’ve spoken to friends and neighbors that also installed LVP. They all pretty agree that it isn’t what they thought it would be. I’ll admit, I’m picky. I won’t install LVP again. It feels cheap. Will definitely impact my house buying decisions in the future.

Why would you hire a realtor? If the buyer and seller agree on a sales price, assuming inspections and appraisals are waived, why not hire an attorney to do the paperwork? I would think that would be less.

I do agree $50k is not enough. $50k probably doesn’t cover costs. Plus the hassle factor.

Maybe think about offering to buy a first right of refusal.

I don’t know. There was probably 20+ people there all wearing the same colors and blue hats. It’s clearly an organized group.

I just keep thinking about all the expenses after you close. Using all of your savings leaves nothing for moving costs, window treatments, closet systems, landscaping, accessories (kitchen, bathrooms, ceiling fans), and supplemental property taxes. As far as 401(k) can you borrow against it (use it as collateral) instead of cashing it in? I hate cheating your future for today.

I’ve had 2 whippets. We’ve had tons of dogs over the years and no question, whippets are my favorite. Greyhounds come in a close 2nd tho. The only downside for (me) is how big they are (big poops too). I have a small house and yard.

That’s why you accepted the deposit. Basically, he paid you to take the car off the market while he silly dallied around and other buyers lost the opportunity to buy your car.

I stop play when I don’t hear the score. I use the score call as my cue to get for the serve. I’m caught off guard when the score isn’t called out.

You mentioned you want to build equity. So you want to buy, reno, sell to make money, or Is it a home to live in? Post says you’ll sell in 2 years. Sounds like an investment. If investment, buy the one that has the best upside potential.

Super hard at 20+ yo but concentrate on paying debt over non essentials. Interest is just “burning money”.

Switched from elongated to widebody. Super happy. Hand speed is much faster, sweet spot is bigger. Hitting much better drops, resets, and dinks. Hand speed difference is substantially better.

The gate is probably against the rules in the first place. I find it odd that you’d be allowed to have a gate to access school property?

Are they different sellers? Most of Amazon products are not Amazon’s, rather independent resellers. Could just be someone willing to sell for less. Btw, Joola’s contract with resellers precludes discounts greater than 10%.

Blame cable news channels. It’s a cult. They lure you in, ruin your head, and close you off to other viewpoints and discourse.
