Sounds like the whole thing was manufactured or at least squashed between Angel and Caitlin. Check out this article about Sheryl Swoopes walking back some of her comments about Caitlin and how Angel intervened:

"Shortly after Clark took the top spot on the scoring list, Swoopes revealed that LSU star Angel Reese facilitated a conversation between her and the Iowa star."

"Honestly, a couple of weeks ago I reached out to Angel (Reese) and had a really good conversation with Angel over the phone and sent a message to Caitlin," Swoopes said

"If you have a buyer lined up this weekend, I do not want to stand in the way of that. However, if the deal falls through for any reason, here is what I want you to do. Pick up the phone first thing Monday and give me your BAFO on the vehicle. If acceptable, I will come in and purchase the vehicle. If not, I have two other options and will go there instead. No harm, no foul. Have a great weekend!"

Do Not give them a price
Do Not share competitive intel
Do Not mention trade
Do Not mention your approved rate

If they call you back with a compelling offer, use the trade and the rate to smooth out the final bumps

In Cypress here (Lakes of Fairhaven) HOAs are not that bad. They keep the place looking nice, enforce the deed restrictions, and keep the home values up. If not for them, we would have idiots tearing up the greenbelts with 4 wheelers and SUVs. Aggie Rednecks are something!

The suburbs suck.

People live there because they can't afford a truly desirable place.


Um, no. I live in the burbs cause I work from home, my house is 1/2 the price of an inner loop home, I have a large yard, and do not feel like I live in a concrete jungle. Also, I can send my kids to the school down the street and it is just as good as a $20k/yr private school. While inner loopers are praying that their house appreciates to fund their retirement, my home is paid off and my portfolio is diversified. It is called smart planning. And if I ever need something downtown, I can jump in my car and go there

Gets your kid on a watch list. Says he/she has above average talent that warrants investment. Funny how so many ppl here will dismiss this, but will spend $2000 for summer select baseball knowing their odds of making D1 are slim.

Mars has 38% of the gravity of Earth. The first Mars mission will be an orbital mission (i.e. no landing, similar to our Moon missions). Any landing mission like Mars One will be a one-way trip. It would be too difficult to launch enough fuel into space from Earth for the trip there, touchdown, return to orbit, and trip home. With that being said, over 78,000 people signed up for a one way trip to Mars via Mars One, so there is no shortage of volunteers

First in with Space Port

It is a bit of a catch 22 (Pun intended). If a Russian made radar was turned on and "painted" an F22, then we would know that they could see us. If painted, then we could try out our ELINT capabilities to see if we could jam it.

Also, if painted, that would be provocation to unleash hell on Assad (possibly our goal anyway). If we did that and Russia responded by sending up MiGs, we would want our most advanced fighter in the air.
