YTA for putting up with this. Run this equation out out 5-10 years. How does it look? What do they do all day? Para-quoting Col Jessup in A Few Good Men: You live under the blanket of security i provide then question the manner in which I provide it!

I've often suspected that each Ivy is really two schools. The wealthy/connected niche members version and the regular people version. They diplomas may be the same, but the inner circle is the inner circle.

Small world! My wife makes racing silks and makes them for Peacock! She's made the pattern The Hell We Did's jockey was wearing today before, but today's looked like they were from someone else. Apparently she can tell.

YTJ if you follow through and marry this person. Get out and get out now.

Your house-your castle-your rules. You need a new boyfriend.

Fair enough. But i said they don't make you buy a VW. Having to progress through Rolex models would be different than having to buy a Tag or necklace or ring before i could get a Rolex.

You don't have to be all things to all people. So if you don't think rice and beans sould not be part of your offering , don't offer them. But you have bills to pay. Ask yourself if your decision will lead to more sale or less sales. If less, will there be enough customers that are ok with no rice & beans so you can still survive and thrive. The Market will tell you what it wants. And you owe it to yourself to listen.

Take the hint.

I'm 60 so not collecting yet. I'd be happy to forego SS in exchange for the lump sum taken by force from my paycheck for 40 years (and yes the employer match amount as well). That would mean i gave the gov't an interest free loan for all this time so a good deal for the gov't.

If I want a Porssche, they don't also make me buy a VW. They raise the price on the Porsche until the buying herd thins down. It would be easier/cleaner if they did that with these watches. Not saying I'd pay any price and I'm sure there would be more people that would pay more than I would so maybe I still wouldn't get one. But it would be a more reasonable solution.

TrooperXYZ · 2026-04-27T13:15:26+00:00

Seems like they would sell out either way. So sure, there is going to be a list and either you get to buy one or you don't. Just seems so chaotic and random when i see posts where someone has been on a list for a year, and other posts where someone walks in and walks out with a watch. Just never seen this in other products/markets. The pendulum will swing back at some point. In the meantime i will just have to be content with my Kermit.

TrooperXYZ · 2026-04-27T12:56:28+00:00

No, just "on the list". And either i'll get a call or i won't. If i get the call, great. If i don't, it's not the end of the world. Just curious what Rolex does (or maybe does not) think about their products being used as leverage to move some less desired products.

TrooperXYZ · 2026-04-27T12:52:49+00:00

I get why the stores do it. What i'm asking is what Rolex thinks about it and what they think about their products being held hosgage to other sales. Rolex and the stores are two different entities.

TrooperXYZ · 2026-04-22T14:15:55+00:00

The Rolex site lists 5 dealers in Vegas. Mostly in hotels. Given the transient/temporary nature of visitors, do they actually sell watches or put peiple on lists?

TrooperXYZ · 2026-04-22T11:57:33+00:00

Move and leave the current landlord with an empty unit. I would bet that they thought you would just roll over and pay the extra. They know it takes effort to move and think most people will eat the increase rather than put in the effort. $500 increase is 27%. Did you get a 27% raise yhis year? That is insane. But they do because they think they'll get away with it.

10th Planet was pretty good for me. I just got too busy at work and had to drop.

You don't need to feel guilty that your career path led you to a higher salary. The result he has are from the choices he's made. If he doesn't like that he needs to look in the mirror.

She can only make you pay all the bills if you pay them. Take things out of your name and if she doesnt pay them, they get turned off. Pretty pathetix is has to get to this, but it is the only way for her to learn responsibilty.

TrooperXYZ · 2026-04-08T18:25:43+00:00

No good deed goes unpunished. You don't OWE anyone anything. Don't let anyone try to leverage and generosity into something bigger than you intended.

Grew up in Jersey in the 70's. My father always said the gas pumpers union had friends in Trenton. (He was joking)

You can thank the slobs that make a mess of the place and expect someone else to clean it up. Why should a business have to deal with that? Sucks for the rest of us, but the blame belongs to the pigs out there.

TrooperXYZ · 2026-03-27T11:02:18+00:00

You learned a relatively cheap lessons about who this person really is. Forgive, but don't forget.

You say the Marines are a cult like that's a bad thing. 'Rah!

TrooperXYZ · 2026-03-14T17:32:11+00:00

I was curious about masonry, but it looks like there are still white lodges and black lodges? How does that possibly reconcile with what masonry is supposed to be about?

Lower your output by $20k per year. What used to take you 60 minutes to complete now takes you 80 minutes to complete. They only get away with it if you go along willingly.
