What’s It Like To Attend A Timeshare Presentation

what is a timeshare presentation like

This is what it’s like to be on the receiving end of a Wyndham timeshare sales pitch. Here goes:

I vaguely knew what I was getting in to. My girlfriend and I arrived at an MGM owned casino. We get a bite to eat and as soon as we began our exploration of the Casino someone approached us offering vouchers for free play in the casino worth $75. I’m usually hesitant to ever get sucked into something like this but my girlfriend insisted that we do it. “They give it to you for showing up, we’ll just say no, I’ve got friends who did this too, etc.” I went along and decided to keep an open mind about it.

Why Do Christians Believe Non-Procreational Sex Is Immoral?

(photo: @olivia_snow)

In Christian theology, the sexual act is an icon of the Trinity and of the saving relationship between Jesus and the Church.

It is an icon of the Trinity because God is a communion of persons, who all completely give of their entire selves to each other. The person of the Father subsumes his entire existential being and substance to beget the Son, who, composed of the same divine essence, gives back the same total self-giving love in turn to sustain the Father. This total self giving of two divine persons begets the holy Spirit, who is interpreted to be the love between the Father and Son that is shared between them.

dealership markup

Insane dealership markups on a base model Bronco for a total of 83,000. MSRP 37,965.

What is dealer ship markup?

Car dealer markup is what dealerships add to jack up the price of a car. It’s above and beyond the factory MSRP.

A dealership makes its gross profit on a vehicle from the spread between what it must pay the factory for a car and the amount it collects from a customer at the point of sale. Once a dealership subtracts expenses, such as the salesperson’s commission and so forth, that’s their net profit on the vehicle.

There’s your wiggle room for negotiations on that new car.

Picture of the Day

room-306

Room 306 at the Lorraine Motel is frozen in time since the day Martin Luther King Jr. was murdered in Memphis. It still contains the ashtray with the last cigarette MLK ever smoked.

Room 306 of the Lorraine Motel is exactly the way it was on April 4th, 1968. The bed is made. The food tray is on the coffee table. The ashtray with a partially smoked cigarette is on the desk. As you peer into the hotel room, you see Dr. King’s surroundings during the final minutes of his life — frozen in time.

Dr. King stayed at the Lorraine Motel numerous times while visiting Memphis. In April 1968, he came to the city to support striking sanitation workers. On April 4th, he stepped onto the balcony outside room 306 to talk to friends in the parking lot below. He asked the saxophonist, Ben Branch, to play ‘Take My Hand, Precious Lord’ at a rally that would be held that evening. As he turned to walk back into his room, a bullet struck him in the neck. He died instantly.

Being Overstimulated Is The Cause Of The Lack Of Discipline

overstimulation

It sounds simple, but when I’ve realized it – it helped me a lot. I’ll try to share it.

The root problem with many productivity issues is being constantly overstimulated.

People often tell “I was doing nothing the entire day instead of working” while the truth is that you were not doing nothing. You were stimulating your brain all the time using social media or something else.
