    People are nuts, one woman had her agent put pressure on our agent to see the place before Monday. Women that want something that bad are a pain in the azz.

    Customers like that are easy to say no to. Already being pushy just wait until they make an offer and send over the TRR.

    And speaking of real estate.. The wife is on a quest to purchase more commercial property but only if its distressed. She knows a contractor that apparently likes to work for free and doesnt mind listening to her line of bs.

    So yesterday as the poo truck emptied our septic tank my college-educated daughter who is way smarter than dad opens the garage door and house door and then wondered why the entire house smelled like poo:rant:. I informed here that truck in the driveway is filled with poo.

    The longer all these COVID-19 restrictions remain in place the more we learn two things about our country; the 80/20 rule is real. About 20% of us are carrying the other 80% of the the citizens. And government on all the levels is even more woefully incompetent and useless the previously assumed.

    Hahaha... "Poo truck" hahaha sorry that is a first I 've ever heard them referred to in that way. They're " Honey Dippers " in our area. Which is way more gross and not as funny.

    No, those are the ones you play hard ball with. Hopefully, your agent has this persons name. When they make an offer, you tear it to bits by stating the "earnest" money will be 10% of the sales price. There will be no refund x number of days, make that 1 day, after inspection.

    She will run for the hills.

    I was about to agree with you, but then it made me think of my Ruger Mark IV and I realized how wrong you are.

    I can think of at least 4 players off the top of my head that I would say were better than Gretzky. And at least 2 of them are still playing.
    You want to talk about being best of their generation or era; Gretzky is the poster child of that. And I am old enough and a big enough hockey fan to remember him and how good he was- in that era. But Ovechkin is definitely better, Lemieux was almost certainly better, and I would seriously argue that Datsyuk was a better player (still playing in Russia.)

    https://www.nhl.com/news/capitals-gm-ovechkin-can-catch-gretzky-goals-record/c-313678118

    Gretzky was a defensive liability every moment he was on the ice. I found this little bit of treasure...



    granted, that was towards the end of his career; but still...getting deked by a goalie?

    goalies are a different conversation altogether; and I am not going to get into pre-1980 hockey. Gretzky wouldn't have lasted one season in the 50s, 60s and probably the 70s. They would have ripped his head off and crapped down his neck. Those were some mean sonsa-bs....Ovie would've been right at home in that or any era; and I hate his guts. But I still thinks he's the GOAT.

    hate is a strong word. I don't care enough about pro team sports anymore to get that emotionally involved. But he is a mean cocky SOB but he backs it up so there is that. If only he wore a Winged Wheel.

    Thank you, this is nerve wracking. We want the place to sell this week so I don't have to do a bridge loan when I close on the new place June 30.
