Honestly I know I probaby should be more worried but I am not. Every time I get all stressed about a hurricane and get prepared, nothing happens. I am praying that everyone stays safe and dry.

Our property floods with significant rain; so yes we are preparing.

Texans love to not care about storms; not unlike Floridians, but I-10 was underwater a few years ago in Houston.

I am more worried about the flash flooding that anything else. My yard and lower tend to flood when heavy rain hits so that is I am concerned with but there is not a lot I can do about flooding :(. Hail is another concern but I am not too worried about that or wind or anything.

Not severely worried, but I do always have a little storm kit ready to go. More for peace of mind at any given time of year. Keep some water, non-perishables, flashlights, that kind of thing handy so just in case, not scrambling at the last minute when the power is out or something.

I'm a marketer and I'm having a hard time getting my clients to listen to me.

I have been in marketing for 10 years now. I've worked with hundreds of clients and have been able to increase their sales by over $1 million each year.

But every time I go into a meeting with a new client, they ignore everything I say. They just want to talk about their product. They don't seem interested in learning how to market it better.

I'm in Austin for the weekend, what's everyone getting into tonight?

I rented a house that had been vacant for a bit & the prior tenant didn’t do a thorough job cleaning up. Agent indicated the owner would be open to having the house cleaned but I would need to have the house professionally cleaned when I moved out (that was fine w me). I just received the bill from the owner for $250, which is super annoying bc there was no expectation communicated that I would foot the bill for this, more so bc the cleaner did a LOUSY job.
