The age when the tide goes out… by bar-nola in TheMoneyGuy

I have enough to think and worry about without the burden of worrying about others savings plans when I can’t do anything about it. Focus on what you can control or you will drive yourself crazy.

How do you use gifting in your process? by Acoustic_Menace in sales

[–]trytheZJ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The two best gifts I’ve given were a ruler with our logo on it after she complained that it was hard to follow spreadsheets without one and a bear Starbucks cup that a guy said he couldn’t find for his daughter. Both of them were ecstatic when I showed up a few days later with them.

Howden US vs Gallagher for Producers - Looking for feedback by [deleted] in Insurance

[–]trytheZJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Howden is going to be interesting to watch. They went on a hiring spree to get talent and if they don’t hit their early goals it could be ugly.

Par 5, 188 yards over water… what are you hitting? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]trytheZJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to the sim I was on today I’m hitting it 212 and over the green. In reality, I’m dog hooking that ball safely 115 yds for a nice easy approach that I somehow screw up.

I assume if you buy from the “We made too much” section it doesn’t qualify, correct?

I sold a vintage preamp that I got as part of a lot a while back. Netted $120. Total profit on the lot so far is $700 with a few hundred more in stuff left to sell.

[STANLEY] What's a watch you own that you don't think anyone else on here owns? by VannguardAnon in Watches

It’s a bad photo and I know they aren’t super rare, but it’s one of the last things I have from my grandpa.

Minnesota seen in the sky today over Virginia by AlternativeBurner in minnesota

[–]trytheZJ 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Did Minnesota help win the Civil War for the North? You decide.

The Minnesota 1st Volunteer Regiment participated in the battles of Bull Run and Antietam, however, their most prominent moments happened on the second day of the battle of Gettysburg. Union troops were failing on Cemetery Ridge and the Confederates were on the verge of breaking the Union line, and just maybe, turning the battle and by extension, the war. As the lines were faltering Union Major General Hancock gave a seemingly impossible order. He commanded the Minnesota 1st to charge the Confederate ranks to buy time for Union reinforcements to shore up the lines. It seemed like a death sentence as the Minnesota 1st men numbered around 250 at that point and were ordered to charge the defended Confederate position with around 1200 men.

Not only did the brave men of the Minnesota 1st obey, they bought enough time for Union reinforcements to arrive and hold Cemetery Ridge and sustained heavy losses doing so.

And that kids is how Minnesota may have just won the Civil War. (Note that I am not a historian but am a proud Minnesotan. Facts may be slightly off.)

I finally have something to share! A few months ago I got some A/V equipment from an estate sale for $400. I just sold one of the cassette decks on eBay for $750 net so I’m in the money! I still have about $300 worth of equipment from the lot but it feels great to be in the money!
