folks,,, Wordle 548 1/6 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

@SimpleCRE This is a lesson for lenders as well. I've had a couple of uncomfortable situations over the years (but thankfully never a lawsuit)

ONE word can make a huge difference in an email or even a text. Craziest example I've seen: Seller emails his broker asking how much he'll net at closing. Based off settlement draft, broker responds "You will net $650k." Closing was two days later. There was an adjustment to the settlement statement because some pre-paid rent hadn't been accounted for. No big deal, right? Nope. A few days after closing, seller sends a lawsuit to his OWN broker asking for damages to include the $5k difference in what the broker quoted and what he actually got. He felt comfortable doing this because the broker said "WILL" instead of "SHOULD" and didn't add any qualifier like "ABOUT" or "APPROXIMATELY." Knowing this client, it was a fight not worth taking, so broker paid him just to end it. First lesson is - don't work for bad people no matter how much they pay. Everyone watching this happen was not surprised that this client would do that. But a close second is to choose your words VERY carefully in any written correspondence no matter how casual it may be. If you are a professional advisor in any capacity, saying someone "WILL" achieve a certain return or amount can come back to haunt you.

@SteveNomadic @scottiebateman @CaptBob_Nomadic Omg how am I just now finding out about this?!

Cockpit Casual: The Podcast EP 4 is up! This week, after the normal ramblings - we interviewed @scottiebateman and chatted about his new book •JUMBO• and all things 747. It was a fun one! #AvGeek (video version will be on YouTube in about an hour)

@ChrisHBoschult Keeps you on your toes

An Upstate observation: Spartanburg has an Old Asheville Highway. Asheville has a Hendersonville Rd. Hendersonville has a Spartanburg Highway. It’s the same road

@Predamame This is Natick slander and I will not stand for it

What’s the US’s “fourth” city? Boston, Cambridge, and Somerville are pretty clearly the top 3 but the 4th is more ambiguous. I feel like the main contenders are probably Hopkinton, Wellesley, Newton, or maybe NYC?

@davidmellyruns @Predamame Wait he's up to THREE now?

@Predamame When you’re on my news feed I think “holy smokes” Because you’re on my mind More than Predhome’s three jokes

Roses are red Violets are blue In an 8:05 4by8 We all broke 2

@iowahawkblog @3YearLetterman Good list, but it's important to point out that he did not *buy* the panty-dropping 2011 Ford Taurus. It was part of his suite of company bennies.

• be @3YearLetterman • start youth football team • pioneer Oklahoma drills for 7 year olds • collect championship rings • so many rings it's impossible to use doorknobs with ease • write award winning books • get licensed as a notary public • parlay into waterbed financing company • buy sweet fully loaded 2011 Ford Taurus • create account on X • write hard-hitting patriotic American facts • get 12 million views from angry Europoors and Harvard Mensa club weenies • Brink's truck backs up, empties a load of Elonbucks • Buys the Beef O'Brady's restaurant chain • Buys the entire town of Pigeon Forge • Sells Pigeon Forge time shares to Europoors and Harvard Mense Club weenies

Just another reason why @3YearLetterman is an absolute genius

@pescami Vexillology Corner is back!!

One of the flags presented by Bad Bunny at the halftime show was Bonaire. Rare flag to display

@jarvis_best Of course this is Rovell

If you don’t have at least 250 Super Bowl posts sitting in your drafts ready to go, you’ve already lost the game.

@Predamame You should hear what happened to Bowerman Track Club star athlete Grant Fisher while you were gone

Hey, sorry about all the spam. Got hacked. Got my account back. We all broke 2 in our 4x8. No thanks to Coach Emily.

@SimpleCRE Speaking of which, when are you taking me to lunch?!

One of my favorite local restaurants changes their lunch menu (including drink specials) daily. Aggressive feature for a Wednesday lunch menu, but… YOLO I guess.

@Predamame An entire semester dedicated to the mechanics of hand-timing your 4x800m

Every school should have a mandatory class called "life," which teaches you how to: sew, change a tire/oil, do nutella tricks, do taxes, cooking, etc. Basic skills that you need in real life.

@SimpleCRE This does not surprise me one bit

A buyer I know discovered that the actual square footage of a strip center was quite different from the sum of the leases. In short, the size in each lease was wrong and had been for decades. No buyers or tenants had ever measured. This is much more common than people think.

@FueledbyLOLZ Hi to one of my oldest mutuals on this dumpster fire website 👋

Hi. Hello. I haven’t been on X in months. Hope you are doing well.

@JeremiahDJohns It's definitely the dad.

Who's the main character today? Seems like it's either Maduro again, or maybe that dad who said he hates spending time with his kids

@SkimMilkey Thank u

@SkimMilkey Which one is she

18-year old Zhang Ziyu is set to make her professional debut in China tomorrow morning. She is reportedly 7'5 and 330 pounds. Would love to see her in NCAAW at some point.

@Predamame Alex, Hills are but slanted flat parts. Much to think about. Go birds. Matt

These hills are tougher than I remember, but the birds have the division and cowboys have been eliminated so it's a good day.

@Predamame They just realized that bowl season is Too Early, that's all

Notre Dame is listed as a DNS.

@lovertoblame I don't know what the context is here AT ALL but hell yeah

@ChrisHBoschult Greenville Half heck yeah 💯

Turkey Day 8K after a few weeks of barely any running went better than expected. Healing up and scheming next year’s race plans 😎
