Krazykats that dude is clearly using you to buy down the competitors offer. It's his job to do that as much as its yours to sell.

Ultimately you've got to stand your ground, call him on it, and let him know you're in this to do business, not to be a quote machine. But that being said, you've got to be in a position to tell him to F off (when you literally don't need his business in order to win), and not in a position of desperation (which you probably are, and he can sense from a mile away).

Great advice!

I'm almost there to be able to "train" bad customers to be more loyal or go elsewhere, because I have a few. They are the most time consuming and always looking to me to make up for others mistakes.

Love my job though, so good with the bad and that sort of thing.

How good can Bloodline be (SPOILER ALERT) without the star of the show? He was the engine.

He's gonna very involved this season, do some reading. Was the plan all along...they have 6 seasons already written -- the opening season was a 'prequel' to the starting point of the actual show/story, per the writers.

"We knew we were taking our time with the storytelling, and as the season progressed, it turns into a thriller. So in the second season, we're no longer in that place," he explains. "There's a very hot opposition out there that they have killed someone. I think that we now have greater flexibility in our story, because something we already know has hugely happened for these characters."

And there's potentially more to come after that. "When we sold the series, we sold concepts for six seasons, and it's really a deep dive into further relationships in the family," Todd Kessler says.


Interesting concept, but the show is awesome, so I'll trust them for now. Love every character.

John Leguizamo is gonna be a new central character, apparently.

This is a major concern for me, and frankly its something that has kept me up at nights. Ben Mandelsohn made the show- every scene of his was creepy. Per IMDB he still seems to be in all of the episodes of season 2 which will be interesting.

People will look back on 2015 Kentucky and be absolutely astounded that team did not win the national championship. Towns is a future MVP. Booker an All-Star. WCS All Defense. Ulis will play a decade in the league. Lyles will play a decade in the league. They'll also say whatever happened to those Harrison kids.

-Went to the baseball game last night. Good to see them actually win a mid-week game. The deck in right field was f'in packed with students. That is a good *** setup. Park in that lot behind the deck, pack a cooler in the car, and openly drink (as long as its in a cup). Had a pretty good time last night.

-Date party tonight, with the awful theme of "Cowboys and Angels." I'll never get my dream of 'Golf Pros and Tennis Hoes,' unfortunately. Should see some pretty good outfits tonight from the angels, tho

Yep. That team was even better than we thought.

I'll never understand how both Booker and Murray a year later could be cold when we needed them most.

Really happy for Booker nailing 40 foot 3-pointers consistently in a meaningless late season NBA game, just like he was able to make them when it mattered last year in the final four. [sick]

Social Chairman was by far the best and most important office to hold in the fraternity.

If your parties suck, then so does your frat. TS

Booker was never really left in the game to shoot out of a slump. With Murray, IU was able to put an athletic freak on him and keep him bottled up. He shot pretty much his typical game in the first round. Hot one half, cold another. In the SEC Finals, I think Murray's legs were just absolutely spent. Before that he was on fire.

-Feel like I have broken up with UK football, and it sucks. Sparingly reading any practice reports. Not believing any of the seasonal "progress" claims that I have seen. Stoops, a man I was ALL IN on feels like a complete stranger. My only hope is that, true to form, they would turn the corner the year I had finally given up, but then I look at the schedule and realize how silly that is. Oh well. It was fun (some years).

Yep. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me every damn year for as long as I can remember despite the fact that historically we have had less talent than every SEC team except Vanderbilt and a pretty weak recruiting base and tons of evidence that this will simply never work, shame on me.

It's not about you, CoolCat. It's about these kids and their families, and helping end cycles of generational poverty.

You think that 2015 team lost? Well, look at how much money those kids are making now.

I'd say they won.

How is "Cowboys and Angels" a theme??? "Cowboys and Native Americans" or "Cowboys and Aliens", sure but those other two don't go together.

"Hey guys don't forget our annual 'Longshoreman and Nursing Student' theme party is Saturday!"

vets who played key roles.

I think that's an important distinction. Players don't become vets in this program unless they are inconsistent or their game is somehow limited. You need the freshmen in the starring roles and the older guys as a steadying influence. Our team sucked this year because we had to rely too much on veterans, as dumb as that f'n sounds. Poythress and Lee were still here because of all the **** they couldn't do, not because of how much they loved their time in Lexington.

We never really got Aaron and Booker on the same page as far as shooting. When one was hot, the other was cold.

And Calipari deemphasized the 3ball way too much. Wisconsin was terrible at guarding the 3 and we only took 5.

And Lyles shouldn't have played SF. He was a college 4.

The thought of krazykats putting his foot down and demanding to be treated like a "partner" is , by the way.

I'd tell your desperate wannabe salesman *** to get pumped swiftly. Hell, you're not even pitching me, and I'll tell you anyways. GET PUMPED.

I don't think the Harrisons were to blame for anything EXCEPT not making the shots/plays they normally made down the stretch against Wisconsin.

Calipari's 1-2-3 rotation should've been equal parts the Harrisons and Ulis and Booker.

That's why it's awful. Doesn't really make any sense.

Aaron Harrison will always have a special place in our hearts, but he and his brother were as much a nuisance as anything else. Don't mind saying it -- they sucked. Particularly Andrew, who somehow shot like 27% for his career. Competely inexplicable how they could be so marginal. F off.

And I'm already sick and F'ing of every GD hen I see asking me when I'm going to get engaged. These are the same bitches who LOATHE when people ask them, "so when are you going to have a baby?????" Yet, they have no problem pestering the **** out of men about that stuff. This isn't an isolated incident. This is damn near every woman I've had a conversation with in the last month.

I'll do it when I'm damn well ready. Leave me the F alone.

2014 bought a LOT of goodwill for me re: Aaron Harrison. I'd probably be OK if Cal gave him some random made up ring in an awkward awards ceremony in a few years, honestly.

These last posts have made me realize one thing. I'm in the 3rd of the 7 stages of grief, I've made it past "pain" and am firmly in the "anger" phase, how exciting! Now everyone STFU about the game thanks.

Am I the only one who has always thought the Julius Randle is a little off. I mean I get why he thinks he has onions after hitting that shot to win last night, but seriously, he's playing for the worst Lakers team. There's not a lot to brag about.

I'm just ranting on you because you're a dear friend and I can't cuss out my friends' wives and co-workers. [winking]:grimace:
