Call them in afternoon around 3PM. Much quicker than the que before lunch. And also the cust serv rep/agent that answers is way more helpful and in a better mood by then.
As far as walking (not jogging), it is usually a certain demographic I've noticed doing this.

Standalone
I went to a small venue in '87 or '88 and paid $30 to watch him destroy Michael Spinks on CCTV on a huge screen. He hit Spinks so hard with a body shot hook that Spinks' feet were lifted off the canvas. 91 second KO. You could see the fear in Spinks eyes after he took the first jab to his head.
Most "decent" suits will look ok provided you have them tailored well after you buy it. I have 2 from Jos A Banks I got on clearance and they don't look any different than a $1,000 suit.

Genuinely laughing my head off :lol: :lol:
Most of Oregon east of the Columbia River is very conservative and baw. Its just that the media focuses on Portland and the left leaning Pacific coast
I got rid of FB about 14-15 years ago.
I will never forget walking out of the stadium that glorious night in early November 2022 after we beat Saban and Bama feeling like we were one year away from another national title. I really believed we had hired the right person.

Next week we squeak by a bad Arkansas team playing with a backup freshman QB due to KJ Jefferson's injury. I attributed it to the freezing arse temps and a road SEC game the weekend after beating Bama. Then two weeks later, we get handled by a terrible Aggie team in a game that was worse than the score. That's when I knew it was a worse version of Les Miles.

Probably after that hot AF Auburn game or Georgia around 2018 or so


That was the Auburn game. The UGA game that year was beautiful. But that Auburn game was next level of hell hot.
I would not at all be surprised to see the Fed raise rates .25 at their next meeting. Regardless, there will be no cuts in 2026 and probably not even the first half of 2027.
If those races were reversed, there would be Altimas burning in Flatbush.

My in laws play this daily. Every.Day.
The problem with American tennis started in the late 80s and exponentially got worse in the 90s and early 2000s. The WSJ or Time had an interesting piece on this about 10 years ago. Once soccer rose in popularity in the U.S. among kids, it took young players away from tennis. In other words, per the article, the kids who would have been taking tennis lessons and been playing tournaments, were now on the soccer fields. I will try to find it, but it was a good, interesting read. Basically, soccer fckd U.S. tennis.
I don't care what anyone says...taking the hit by trading it in at the dealer is worth every penny of not having to deal with idiots showing up at your house or office to whip your nuts over your asking price and their various bullshite questions.
I like Curiel a lot, but I cringe every time he does that thing when a pitch is out of the zone and he quickly spins back talking to himself and making the exaggerated hand gestures of where the ball was (low, outside, up, etc). Its whiskey tango douchey.
I usually respond and mess with them. Telling them I will sell for $900K and they pay all closing costs.
You can find a guy that used to work for one of the big companies that will do it for 40-50% what they charge. I had a Safelite guy several years ago give me the number of one of their former installers that was doing it on his own. Your local mechanic can probably get you in touch with someone.

I shouldn't have said the whole world...but they got a lot looser with who could join. They don't advertise it, but if you have pretty much ANY connection to a federal employee...you can get coverage now.
