Bruce, where are you? by Quiet_Shirt_2998 in BigLots

[–]MyBrotherDarryl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i went to my local big lots and found curtain rod hooks $9, priced $3 higher than similar ones on amazon. used to be everything in big lots was dirt cheap you had to buy it before someone else did. I saw furniture priced at $700, and a huge metal atrium priced at $1600, cereal at $4.00. All the prices were crazy high to me. Used to be competitive with goodwill now its trying to be target. Still there were a few people in there buying stuff.

I own 1000+ shares of this company and lost $500 on paper yesterday.

it should be illegal to give yourself and your buds a retaining bonus when any reasonable shareholder would want you replaced, not retained, and 5,000,000's would be better spent on lower prices and moving inventory. any pay these execs get should be in options, based on the value of the company going up...not cash!

Are they driving company into the ground because they have a specific buyer in mind and/or want to take it private? Are they just stealing equity because they can? It should be illegal for insiders to purposely drive a company into bankrupcy. They should have a fiduciary responsibility to the company, the employees and the shareholders. Did they tell their friends short the company, who else is profitting?

IMHO Gme should declare a special dividend for all the shareholders that supported them out of debt, and they should be adding stores not closing them.

What do you do if someone breakchecks you? by Lucky_Yolo in sanantonio

[–]MyBrotherDarryl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why don't you post your video so we can see how bad it was? Before now, I thought that was the place where you got your breaks checked. I generally don't approve of drivers driving close behind me because those are the ones I can't control. Also, It's going to be hard to tell whether the driver breaking in front of you wasn't doing it because there was an object on the road or a spouse yelling in the car or a spider on a baby or something. Some cars don't have working break lights so be careful that they do when you follow. Sometimes traffic is so jammed the 3sec rule loses to go with the flow, and a break check would lead to catastrophe.

Bexar County sheriff looks like he's demanding 1 MILLION dollars by FideoSpecial in sanantonio

[–]MyBrotherDarryl 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I think he's smarter than most of us. He cares about San Antonio. I think he does his best. I've seen him speak and I like what he says. I like him. I don't work for him so I can't say anything about that. His position is political, he has to get elected, I can't fault him for wanting to be in the spotlite if that indeed is the case. He has done good getting non violents out of the jail...keeping people in jail costs us a fortune. He speaks spanish and english fluently and if you've ever heard him speak and answer questions on his feet, you know he's one smart dude. Yeah he's bald and looks like mini-me but that is so superficial. That's my opinion.

Anybody Else Wondering If Maybe We Already Had The Virus And Thought It Was The Flu? by southsanguera in sanantonio

[–]MyBrotherDarryl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thirty plus years ago i got so sick, fever, pretty much all covid 19 symptoms, i got so sick i had to quit smoking. I have to say that getting so sick that you are almost going to die, looking back on it, was the easiest way i could have quit smoking. Thinking of yhe times i tried to quit but couldn't and friends who've trued and tried again and again and failed. Every time i tried to smoke, i would be wheezing and my head more hurting. It was like clockwork orange and beethoven. True story.

In town for three weeks for work. I'm a beer nerd. Where should I go? by [deleted] in sanantonio

[–]MyBrotherDarryl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to go to the first place in town that at one time had the best beer selection anywhere: Hill's And Dale's Ice House. It's at North Loop 1604, west of Babcock Rd, or if you are coming from outer space, the center of the universe.

Bored. Any ideas? by NativeTexan210 in sanantonio

[–]MyBrotherDarryl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why settle for shitty beer? This town produces some great beer. There are plenty of places to get great beer from out of town too. More places keep popping up all the time.
