Gregg with 3G's

Back at the boat school (when we still used pay phones and paid for long distance), I would call my friends back in GA. My roommates (CA and MI natives) told me I was running up the phone bill adding extra syllables to my words.

So sorry for your loss

That’s my dad (Army) and I (Navy) for the next few weeks. Beat Army!

Lived there while in the navy, can confirm. DINK in Coronado riding a bicycle to work was amazing.

I was a customer ops exec for years and I was eternally frustrated by how many people just don’t get this. Marketing, Product, Customer Service…so many didn’t get this.

“They’re not calling us because it’s Tuesday and they want to talk to their friends at randomecommerce.com!”

Thinking about this earlier this morning (I'm a vet). I think we should swap Memorial Day and Veteran's Day. Lots of folks without a connection to Memorial Day actually think of it as another Veteran's Day. Swapping would tie Memorial Day back to Armistice Day/Remembrance Day.

I actually thought this was a decent play. If R’s say “okay”, it puts the ACA right back in the conversation during mid-terms next year. Since they said no (as expected) it makes the messaging really clear and pins the whole thing directly on the R’s.

I was in UK for Remembrance Day a few years ago. I didn’t wear all of mine because I didn’t want to carry the whole lot with me but I wore miniatures and no one batted an eye. Don’t worry about “current” - you earned them.

I’ve been to a lot of Seders. I’m a Christian. It didn’t contradict my faith.
My FIL was Muslim, he loved Christmas Dinner.
Celebrating meals and holidays together is a great way to “love your neighbor” as we Christians like to say.

Wait, Columbia County went blue for the PSC seats??? Holy cow!
I grew up there, it’s a hard-red county. They went for Herschel Walker by 25 points!

Someone once told me "If you aren't paying your lawyer at least $300/hr, you need a better lawyer." That was a good while back, so maybe $400 now.

95!!!!!!

FYI, the incident happened in Augusta. Which is arguably worse since Augusta is a pretty racially diverse city.

Yup, good stuff

Wahoowa!!! Congratulations!

My favorite English professor at the Naval Academy, sadly now deceased, said "If you start reading Joyce at the first sentence of Dubliners and read straight through, in the order he published them, to the last sentence of Finnegan's Wake, you can see a mind going mad sentence by sentence."

I think this is all bad also, but I don’t think MG Knell lied. He references a request from FPS for the court house. If FPS overstepped their authority, that doesn’t make MG Knell a liar. As a former military officer I read his declaration carefully and thought it was a “just the facts” statement.

But for small businesses that would disfavor building the car wash in the first place by making it harder to sell it when you’re ready to retire. Big PE makes it a game, but that structure is the lifeblood of small business sales allowing a lot of “little guys” to build wealth.

If you keep enough points in your Marriott account, redemption stays count towards your elite night status. With “four nights - fifth night free” you can book one five night stay somewhere and another one night stay and hit your nights for the price of five.

Mortgage Rates HIGHER (Not Lower) After Fed Rate Cut Several things happen on Fed Day--especially on the 4 out of 8 examples with updated rate forecasts from Fed members.  The official announcement of a rate cut is typically the least important...

Gunner comes on in 10 minutes! Go Dawgs!

I’ve been out of Tomahawk a long time but I suspect it is because INS alone isn’t accurate enough for terminal guidance when GPS is being successfully jammed/spoofed.

Fair point well taken, intermodal for the win

Interesting. I would have probably put interwebs first because of the impact on both information distribution and commerce, but could physical good e-commerce really have happened in a break-bulk world? Maybe, but probably not to the same extent.
