@kokomored1 @SeanTrende They charge you the $150 if you ask for help like an escort. If you do the walking of your child yourself and just need to get a tag to go through TSA, there's no extra charge. They try and sneak the $150 by you and think you need to pay it but you don't

Dropped my son off for an unaccompanied minor flight and they give you a gate pass so parents can take them to the gate. You have to sit and wait until the plane takes off. Nostalgic, because this is how it always was for flights until 9/11. You always sat and saw family off.

@shawngorham It may be because they're professional subs. A lot of GCs want their subs somewhat anonymous. And if you're a quality sub, you can get almost all your work from GCs.

I was never a wrapped van branding guy This week my neighbor had some work done at his house. 3 days - two sprinter vans - 4+ guys all in matching shirts NO BRANDING on the vans - plain white work vans. I live in a 1950's neighborhood where upgrades and repairs are always needed (old houses) Not having branding on the vans felt like a massive miss I have changed my mind again - wrap the vans Funny enough my other neighbor had a new roof installed. No yard sign, no signs on trucks, no branding.

That’s it. People have stopped answering their phones. So now what? It’s all-hands-on deck to find deals right now for our team, and I’ve joined them to cold-call brokers. Out of 10 calls I made yesterday - zero picked up. So I leave a voicemail: “Good Morning. My name is Don Tepman, I’m a principal, and we buy strip centers. I know that’s your focus - we’ve bought 45 of them, and we buy them all cash. Would love to find a way to work together. Please give me a call when you have a moment. Thanks so much.” 2 out of 10 called me back. If you try to reach people via cold-email, many of those go to a spam or promotions folder. People are staring at their phone all day but they’re not using it to actually be on the phone. So it begs the honest question, how exactly do you build new relationships in this new environment? How do you grow your business when the telephone and email are no longer tools you can count on? How do you get people’s attention at scale? I guess since people are scrolling social media every day - I guess that’s the only place you can really reach them and relay your message with any type of scale. In many ways, the cold-call might be dead.

@miles_commodore Watching one night I fell asleep on the remote. My wife was annoyed because she couldn't change the channel. She tried to sleep but started listening and then she sat up and watched. The next morning, "Hey, that Sanford and Son show is really good."

It's tough, but no show in my opinion had supporting characters like Sanford and Son. Aunt Esther, Grady, Rollo, Julio, Bubba, Woody, Ah Chew, and the two cops Hoppy and Smitty. I'm still a huge fan!

All through my feed I'm seeing shit talking Catholic priests taking verbal shots at one another. Since when did the clergy start getting into the religious version of rap battles?

Every Catholic Men’s Group during prayer requests: Older men - “Please pray for the conversion of my children back to the faith.” Younger men who grew up Novus Ordo, left the faith because of it, and then returned after discovering TLM - “Pater noster…”

🚨 Lehigh's Ryan Crookham is officially hitting the Transfer Portal. In his 4 years at Lehigh, Crookham suffered back-to-back injury-ending seasons following a 3rd-place finish at NCAA's his redshirt freshman season. Where do you think he'll land? A MAJOR addition wherever!

I think my ideas have reached the Penn State tribals. The amount of ignorant comments rolling in 😂 Don’t worry. That’s all I have. College wrestling is great. So much to love about it. But it could be better. And to quote someone you might know: “"Unless you continually work, evolve, and innovate, you'll learn a quick and painful lesson from someone who has.”

@BuzzPatterson I also suggest not sitting in a window seat by the wings. Seeing them flap and flex in turbulence can scare the crap out of even a hardened flyer.

Quick flying tutorial for those who get nervous flying. Turbulence is normal, expected, completely safe, and all aircraft are built for it. It’s not in any way, shape, or form, dangerous. It may be uncomfortable but that’s the worst that can happen. The pilots up front are constantly seeking “smoother rides” which is why we change altitudes fairly frequently looking for the smooth air. We’re talking with ATC, and other carriers, to search out the smooth air. Also, when we turn on the “seat belt” sign it’s to remind you to stay seated and to make the company attorneys happy. You never know when you might hit an unexpected pocket of rough air. I’ve flown through some of the worst turbulence you can imagine on several occasions. What we call “severe.” It’s not fun but it’s not dangerous. Pilots don’t like it either. But, you are safe. I promise.

What is wrong with @Uber ? In the last few months their GPS is taking new routes and not the most efficient or fastest. Is the Uber fee by mile? That may be why…my driver to airport just took a turn in the OPPOSITE direction of the airport which UBER GPS directed. I have lived in DC for decades - I know how to get to the airport and the fastest. My driver is not from USA so he didn’t know and was simply following UBER GPS. I told him to go past the VP residence and the nice driver said he did not know where that is…..

I’ll be telling people all 2026: It is of NO BENEFIT to your Lats to let your Shoulders rise when doing Pull-Downs or Pull-Ups Instead, keep your scapula depressed and refrain from overextending at the top of your reps GAME CHANGER for Lat gains!!!
Nate Yamasaki | Physique & Nutrition Coach@nateyamasaki

Shoulders down cue is still missed by so many I see a lot bros lifting heavy with no lats Why? Tension leaks off the lats when you don’t keep your scapula down into mid traps / rhomboids Nerd term: glenohumeral depression matters

Bishop Robert Barron
Bishop Robert Barron@BishopBarron·
Over the past several weeks, Carrie Prejean Boller has complained that she was removed from the Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty because of her Catholic beliefs, and she has called out myself and other Catholic members of the commission for not defending her. This is absurd. Mrs. Prejean Boller was not dismissed for her religious convictions but rather for her behavior at a gathering of the Commission last month: browbeating witnesses, aggressively asserting her point of view, hijacking the meeting for her own political purposes. The Catholic position on matters of “Zionism,” to which I fully subscribe, is as follows: all forms of antisemitism are to be unequivocally condemned; the state of Israel has a right to exist; but the modern nation of Israel does not represent the fulfillment of Biblical prophecies and hence does not stand beyond criticism. If Mrs. Prejean Boller were dismissed for holding these beliefs, it is difficult to understand why I am still a member of the Commission. To paint herself as a victim of anti-Catholic prejudice or to claim that her religious liberty has been denied is simply preposterous.
Carrie Prejean Boller@CarriePrejean1

Your Excellency, you shared with me through text message to me that my position reflects Catholic teaching, especially that the modern state of Israel is not the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. That is the position I expressed, and yet I was removed from the Religious Liberty Commission. Respectfully, it is difficult not to conclude that this commission does not truly care about religious liberty when a Catholic can be removed for faithfully articulating the Church’s teaching. Asking me to deny Catholic teaching in order to satisfy a political ideology is itself a violation of my religious freedom. As Pope Leo XIII warned, “To recoil before an enemy, or to keep silence when from all sides such clamor is raised against truth, is the part of a coward.” Whether I serve on this Commission or not, my voice will only grow louder for those being persecuted for their faith. I believe this appointment was ordained by God, and I will not abandon my Catholic faith to keep a position on a commission that has abandoned its mission. If my religious freedom is not protected, then no one’s is. Please speak up. Please stand up for Catholics. Be brave, Bishop Barron. The world needs brave men.

@MeanDeanHeil It's also an echo chamber of the top .0001% of wrestlers. Does anyone ever ask the opinions of the 99.999% of former HS wrestlers and families that represent 99.999% of the viewing audience?

Been saying this. Every year theres a new trend. People complain and beg for changes. Changes are made. Refs are forced to learn new rules. We then complain about refs not making correct calls. and repeat.. This is on top of also making it harder for spectators to follow..
Bryce Meredith@bmeredith001

Idk why wrestling is obsessed with talking about every rule change possible after the tourney. I think wrestling is hard to follow because we change the rules so often. People who wrestled in college 15 years ago are now confused with calls, maybe we just chill out sometimes.
