I have been eating terrible food at The Ditch (El Arroyo translates to “the ditch”) for 30 years. That sign has been out there since the early 80’s. They publish a book of their sign quotes every year. My all time favorite was (and this is 25 years old) making fun of new tech back in the day:

“I remember when ‘Palm Pilot’ was an unfortunate high school nickname”.

Eggs are not "chicken".  Just like milk is not beef.

Yes but, they are both "Cow" if that's where the milk was sourced from.

@lousubcap

That is amazing ball movement right there.  Try to sort that out in well less than a second and that's after you pick up the spin.  The skill set across the spectrum of these guys (in the field and at the plate) is incredible and too largely overlooked by the non baseball sports enthusiast crowd.  
Thanks for that-perhaps a few converts will emerge.

I've killed two roommates in the past, so what's your point?

Yep, money is too expensive..

It slowed progress, unfortunately 

if we can’t buy it with cash, we are holding until Q1/Q2 of 2024

banks are saying Powell won’t stop until fed interest rate is 5 to 5.5%

That’s when they are hoping people start losing their jobs..

outstanding administration running things on the hill right now..

So… wait.  That house you were crowing on the forum about first buying and then building, crowing for months, not only wasn’t bought but hasn’t even started to be built yet?  And you’re blaming it on Biden?

I don’t think any of this is cool man, but…

THE TEACHING OF THE DONKEY

(worth reading)

One day a farmer’s donkey fell into a well. The animal cried loudly for hours, while the farmer tried to find something to do to get him out.

Finally, the farmer decided that the donkey was old and the well was already dry and needed to be covered anyway; that it really wasn't worth pulling the donkey out of the well..

He invited all his neighbors to come help him. They each grabbed a shovel and began to throw dirt into the well.

The donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly loud. Then, to everyone's surprise, he quieted down after a few shovelfuls of dirt.

The farmer finally looked down into the well and was amazed at what he saw... with each shovelful of dirt, the donkey was doing something incredible: It was shaking off the dirt and stepping on top of the dirt.

Very soon everyone saw surprised how the donkey reached the mouth of the well, went over the edge and trotted out...

Life is going to throw dirt at you, all kinds of dirt... the trick to getting out of the hole is to shake it off and use it to step up. Each of our problems is a step up. We can get out of the deepest holes if we don't give up...

Use the land they throw you to get ahead!!!

Remember the 5 rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hate.

2. Free your Mind of distractions.

3. Simplify your life.

4. Give more and expect less.

5. Love more and... shake the dirt, because in this life you have to be a solution, not the problem!
