[ ] So to us who part ties, Of tied knots and of stomach's wrench To nourish shadows as remains her honor, I, depart my once, I, as flocking doves, The twist'of fated never Bare I fear or fonder Where, where, for again (bare tied as to none) and again wakes as has but not in time, to grove– The box I paved and yet, Set aside not as slabs of stone Or ash and fire But there i wake In cedar pine and oak The turn of slumber as the glow of what I once did not know, Now has shined against My eyes as water Luminescence Oh Goddamnit. Peaking pride, the oath Again i wait and ne'er did I come, but forth I woke, and also thought Not one but worlds of color, And there i know, to heart the seas I parted Not shallow or in shallows waking, red as scarlet blood but mauve, and then, the coping stays of which I gathered here has Agape and aching, wet with pride and courage Forefront others As thought to know, I, And I become, as known, now not and. “All White World” Our ENSEMBLE awakens slowly in the void of light; an all white space seemingly endless and drenched in blinding light; slowly awakening as if upon a cloud, and yet, washed in the drenched brightness of an all white world–familiar and together, but also new; The uniformity of all white attire and the simplicity of symmetry–all alike but of many and also one. I promise there's pancakes; I promise there's porridge I primise there's light at the end of the tunnel (the end of the night and beginning of brunch) And yes, I promise a run And a run for the office (not by far) And not unpardoned I promise to pray And I promise to wait And i promise to ache In the acres I've laid Made of all green pastures And days and days Without saying my name Pass us over Now…. Hiatus, Hiatus, Hiatus! My maples for all of us, cornbread And cream of the coconut (cream of the coconut) Screams from the underworld (Calling!

No, There's no knowing the coat From the hotbox, the hoot from the horus, the laugh from the chopsticks, The room full of products Or coatrooms of corpses No, There's no knowing us But out of nowhere The hour comes running upon us, And so The show must go on The show must go on The show must go…. DIRECTOR CUT! WHAT! That was FABULOUS! I don't disagree with you. However– What is it now? A MAN hangs by nothing but seemingly a very tightly buckled pair of restraints, above his head–the source of the object from which he hangs unknown, he appears to almost float, in fact, in quite the sufferable struggle. Holy fuck, guy. You're still up here? The VOICE comes from above but is yet unseen, it appears as though two very tidy clean white tennis shoes appear to be holding the straps of these restraints in place. CONT'D That's amazing. No false ties, And no hard wars, And no jolly ranchers, Gob stoppers, or nerf ropes. No fruit roll ups, No lunchables, or gushers No hamburger helper And no candy crush Just Drugs And more Drugs And more Drugs and more Morons Donuts, and drag queens, Tim Hortons, And Mormons; Mothballs, and Roaches, And horseflies, And rodents – Now guess which long road you're on (guess which long road you're on) Guess which long road you're aaaaahhhhhh– HALT. Who goes there. What the fuck is THIS. Finally, two acts past intermission, The troll under the bridge has put his cancer in remission The redactions have acted as class-action warfare, McDonalds has sponsored us, But barely. Look: just. No. I'm not endorsing this. Why. Because! It's killing people! Shh! It is! He–'s uh–joking. Actors! Improvising! Hush. Left and right!

I was 9! “9 and a half!” “The half counts.” But not right now! Because i'm like a 60 year old guy! What! Gross. You're 60?! I think so! Then how old am I!?! I don't know! How old were you before!?

Idk it just seems like a ship sinking in very slow motion. [A pirate ship full of aliens is sinking in very slow motion in a thunderous maelstrom.] (in IMAX 3D) Wow. I like that. This is fascinating. JIMMY KIMMEL is pacing relentlessly; he is driving the other hosts up a wall. KIMMEL I'm hungry, I want pants. I'm hungry– I want pants– Jimmy... KIMMEL I'm hungry– Jimmy! KIMMEL I want pants! JIMMY! KIMMEL WHAT! I'M HUNGRY AND I WANT PANTS! Oh, is that when— CRAIG FURGUSON has had enough. CRAIG You want bloody pants! KIMMEL YES! I WANT PANTS! CRAIG You know what! Fine! I'll make you some fucking pants if you just–shut UP! KIMMEL AND I'M HUNGRY. CRAIG FIRST THINGS FIRST! CRAIG FURGUSON assembles some very eclectic pants from the drapery inside the mansion; this of course reveals the windows to be boarded up in a highly distinct bunker-like maximum security prison-ish fashion, but THE HOSTS at the very least now have makeshift pants; which are startlingly fashionable: read: bohemian chic. Why do mine have beads still attached? He pulls the decorative ripchord and his fly opens promptly. Oh. CRAIG FURGUSON For emergencies. He continues pulling it in sequence with the matching lamp; he alternates turning the lights on and off and opening and shutting his pants flap in admiration. CRAIG FURGUSON CONT'D In case you really have to go. (Facinated) Ooh! CRAIG FURGUSON is satisfied with his work. CRAIG FURGUSON CONT'D I guess you could say, “The curtains match the drapes” CONAN O'BRIEN (beat) …not mine. {Enter The Multiverse} Fearsome, fearsome friends– Fearsome fearsome few Fearsome fearsome tears Listen whispers Fearsome twin Silly hollows All the lies All that waits is Hollywood and chosen five at ends of times All that waits are kings and wisdom All that knows are far, and farther All that needs is nothing, lessons All that fears is our kind Waiting.

We're watching you. An ACHINGLY TALL red-headed fellow finds himself in a FIGHT TO THE DEATH, being cast over eons and decades, and cascaded in and our of portals throughout the ever-infinite dimensional portals of unknown realms as his grasp on life itself and reality begins to fade as he crosses in and out of parallels, one galaxy to the next and one lifetime to another, gripping death and darkness in one hand and light and living in the other. In this bloody brawl, scrawling across an expanse of unknown and unknowable times and realms, this mystic remains still yet as infinite and omniscient in himself as the Gods he looks to for mercy, as the journey has been known to become of these very same deities in its context and process. A folding timeline of blood and sacrifice melds itself into the rope of the materiel worlds; not one fabric of time but many twisted and woven fibers into one rope from which he climbs into the ranks of the upperworld–or heaven, then also slipping seemingly sometimes into the depths of the underworld, a Hell known to all man as this, existence not as one but many consumed in the shadow processes of wickedness and torture, war amongst one another, and the well known humanities of pride, faith, justice and wealth. …this is supposed to be Conan? Uhh… “Achingly tall red-head?” yeah I guess. –O'Brien? [beat] He seems capable. Don't pity me, For not I weep of our pride on doorsteps not allowed, But for the grace and hope of fortune in another world i've known But lest forgotten; Do not feign me for my ignorance in desire, For I am not of man, or woman, or grain, or stone But of the world itself and all ire. (Don't doubt me.) To be cruel not those who pass judgement That weighs in this way or that is utmost critical, In this the end of times and now the end of my desires, And yet the way that I have known, And the offer I have rung Is not here, but elsewhere. And yea, I walk alone. Amen. What the fuck does this have to do with show hosts. Almost always Irish Catholic Almost Always clothed in robes Almost Always fathers, aren't I? Almost always old, of Rome. Almost always birds of feather Almost always sticks and stones Almost always on the airwaves Almost always silver, gold Slither, Slither, Here i wait And Slither slither, Here I came And whether she will slit her wrists Is neither here Nor either there It's a comfort that I offer you to slaughter; That you'd rather not to love but instead murder– I'd be better off to love, then kill you after, Course, tarantula, or just as well, a spider. It's a comfort that I offer you to kill me; Lay my head upon a sanded wooden platter– That you'd rather me to say I'd kill than love you– So I rather just to love, then murder after. Woah. Good to God, God ought to know. I close my palms together full of laughter, So. Good to God, God ought to know, I sacrified my life for ever after. So far. Good to God, God ought to know, That all he wants, I want My heart is surely shattered. Now what. Good as God, God ought to know, That all I want becomes; The looking glass, The wishing well, The cross to bare The shepherd to the pasture. Amen. Omen. All men. Want none. But one. But– So.

How Should You Respond to a Lowball Offer on Your Home?

Learn three key strategies to respond to lowball offers and negotiate a better deal on your home sale. Dear friends and clients, Getting a lowball offer on a home can feel like a punch in the gut, but before rejecting it outright, it is important to consider a strategic approach. The housing market in 2025 has seen some shifts, with home prices still high and interest rates hovering around 7%. So, how should a seller respond to a low offer while still maximizing their sale? Let's explore your options. 1. Recheck the market comps. Before you react, double-check that the offer is actually low. The market moves fast, and home values can shift in just a few weeks. Some experts predict a 5% price increase this spring, so make sure your pricing is still accurate. You should also look at recent sales of comparable homes in your area. You can also ask the buyer's agent where they got their numbers—sometimes, they're just misinformed. If you can show them stronger comps, they may be willing to adjust their offer without much negotiation. 2. (Almost) Always counteroffer. Once you've confirmed your home's value, don't walk away too fast. It's usually worth countering unless the buyer isn't serious. Some buyers start low just to see if they can get a deal. If they refuse to negotiate or immediately shut down your counter, they probably weren't serious to begin with. But in most cases, a counteroffer keeps the conversation going and gets you closer to your goal. “Rechecking comparable sales in your area can help determine if an offer is truly low.” 3. Find a middle ground with better terms. Price isn't the only thing up for negotiation. Some buyers submit low offers because they're short on cash, not because they're trying to take advantage of you. Instead of lowering your price, consider asking for better terms—like a shorter inspection period, a rent-back agreement, or fewer contingencies. If price is the sticking point, offering to cover some closing costs or buying down their interest rate might help bridge the gap without sacrificing your bottom line. Lowball offers aren't fun, but they don't have to be deal-breakers. If you're selling this spring and want expert advice on pricing, negotiating, or market trends, let's talk. Call or email me today—I'm here to help you get the best deal possible!

In this episode of Shrink for the Shy Guy, Dr. Aziz delves into the fourth principle of sanity and victory: Almost Always On My Own Side (AMOS). Building on the previous principles—taking ownership, surrendering to life's flow, and embracing the process—AMOS introduces the idea of being consistently compassionate and supportive toward yourself. Dr. Aziz explores the concept of self-compassion as a transformative tool, helping you to let go of self-criticism and cultivate a nurturing relationship with yourself. He draws on both personal experience and years of clinical research, illustrating how shifting from self-attack to self-support can profoundly impact your confidence and overall well-being. Dr. Aziz emphasizes that being on your own side is not just about boosting self-esteem or acknowledging your worth when things go well. Instead, it's about offering yourself kindness and empathy, especially when you face setbacks or challenges. He provides actionable steps to practice AMOS in daily life, including simple yet powerful questions like, “What would I do or say if I were truly on my own side right now?” Whether you're new to the concept or already practicing it, this episode offers fresh insights and practical tools to deepen your self-compassion and unlock greater confidence. Tune in to discover how to step into a more aligned and supportive relationship with yourself.------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to today's episode, where we dive deep into the fourth principle of sanity and victory—a concept that can truly transform your confidence. If you've been following along, you already know the first three principles: I am the captain of my ship—taking full ownership of your life. Surrender is the ultimate life skill—accepting that you can't control everything, but you can control how you respond. The process is the purpose—embracing the journey rather than obsessing over the end goal. If you're feeling intrigued, then the next principle will change the way you see yourself, forever. It's called Almost Always On My Own Side (OMOS). What Does "Almost Always" Mean? At its core, this principle is about learning to be on your own side. It's about treating yourself as you would a close friend—compassionately, with understanding, and without judgment. You're probably familiar with the term "self-esteem," which refers to how much you value yourself. High self-esteem is about believing you bring value to the world; low self-esteem, on the other hand, is when you feel like you have nothing to offer. But what happens when you don't feel valuable, especially after making a mistake or when you're in the process of learning something new? This is where self-compassion comes in. Unlike self-esteem, which is dependent on how well you perform, self-compassion is unconditional. It's not about being perfect or achieving greatness; it's about acknowledging your struggles and treating yourself with kindness, regardless of the outcome. What Happens When You're Not On Your Own Side? Imagine being constantly followed around by someone who critiques everything you do. They point out every mistake, call you stupid, and tell you that you're not good enough. You wouldn't tolerate this behavior from someone else, so why do we allow this internal critic to rule our lives? For many of us, this critic becomes our default mode. We spend our days beating ourselves up, never allowing room for compassion or understanding. The truth is, this is insanity—it's a toxic pattern that drains our energy and holds us back from living fully. But when we practice being on our own side, we begin to shift from self-attack to self-support. We stop judging ourselves harshly and start lifting ourselves up with compassion, understanding that we are enough just as we are. The Power of Practicing OMOS When you begin to practice being on your own side, something amazing happens: You start to shift how you approach life's challenges. Instead of hiding from difficulties, you embrace them as opportunities for growth. This change in perspective is incredibly freeing, and it can radically alter your confidence. Why This Principle Is Key to Your Confidence So why is being on your own side so essential for building confidence? Because confidence isn't about being perfect; it's about embracing your humanity, mistakes and all. You need the courage to face your fears and take risks, even when things don't go perfectly. When you're on your own side, you develop the strength to keep moving forward—no matter how many setbacks you face. Take Action Today Now that you understand the power of being on your own side, it's time to put this principle into action. Start by asking yourself: How on my own side am I today? Can you treat yourself with kindness and compassion, even in moments of struggle? To take it a step further, think about one area of your life where you've been critical of yourself. Maybe it's your work, your appearance, or your relationships. Now, instead of criticizing yourself, show compassion. Acknowledge your struggles, give yourself some grace, and move forward with kindness. If you're ready for more transformation and support in this journey, check out my Unstoppable Confidence Mastermind, where we take principles like OMOS and apply them to real-life challenges, helping you build lasting, unshakable confidence. Remember, you're awesome, and you deserve to be on your own side. Start practicing today, and watch how your life begins to transform.

Grip It and Rip It: Why You Should (Almost) Always Hit Driver

Golf is a game of strategy, and nowhere is that more evident than on the tee box. While conventional wisdom might suggest playing it safe with irons or fairway woods, there's a growing argument for unleashing the big dog on every hole. Here's why you should seriously consider gripping it and ripping it with your driver more often:1. Maximize Distance, Minimize Strokes:The driver is the longest club in your bag for a reason. By maximizing distance off the tee, you shorten your approach shots, increasing your chances of hitting greens in regulation and ultimately lowering your scores. 2. Modern Drivers are More Forgiving:Today's drivers are designed for forgiveness, with larger sweet spots and technology that minimizes the penalty for off-center hits. Even if you don't always find the center of the face, you're likely to achieve better results than you might expect.3. Fairway Isn't Always the Goal:While accuracy is important, hitting the fairway isn't the be-all and end-all. Modern courses often offer generous landing areas, and even a slightly missed drive can leave you with a manageable approach shot. Don't be afraid to take an aggressive line with your driver.4. Mental Advantage:There's nothing quite like the feeling of crushing a drive down the fairway. Starting the hole with an aggressive, confident swing can set a positive tone for your round and boost your mental game.5. It's More Fun!Let's be honest, hitting driver is just plain fun. It's exhilarating to unleash your power and watch the ball soar down the fairway. Embrace the thrill of the game and enjoy the satisfaction of a well-struck drive.When to Dial it Back:Of course, there are exceptions to every rule. Here are a few situations where you might consider clubbing down:Tight Fairways: On extremely narrow holes, the risk of missing the fairway might outweigh the reward of extra distance.Forced Carries: If there's a hazard you can't carry with your driver, choose a club that guarantees a safe landing.Trouble Lurking: If the rough or hazards are particularly penal, playing it safe with a shorter club might be the smarter play.The Bottom Line:In most situations, the benefits of hitting driver outweigh the risks. By embracing an aggressive mindset and trusting your equipment, you can unlock greater distance, improve your scoring opportunities, and add an element of excitement to your game. So, step up to the tee box with confidence, grip it and rip it, and watch your scores plummet.

That's Why Airplane Seats Are Almost Always Blue

Have you ever noticed how airplane seats are almost always blue, and have you ever wondered if there's a special reason for that? We're going to answer this and other popular plane-related questions and also help you pick the best seat aboard as a bonus. With the stress and apprehension that comes with traveling, especially by air, airlines understood that it's important to calm passengers down and reassure them that everything's gonna be alright. It turns out blue is the perfect color to send that message. As for materials, the seats can be upholstered with either faux leather or fabric. As a rule, in aircrafts used for long-distance flights, like transatlantic ones, the seats are upholstered with fabric because it's more breathable for the skin, so passengers won't sweat, chafe, or experience any discomfort. Tracks on the floor of the aircraft allow rows of seats to be organized at the airline's discretion, so companies take advantage of this in order to install as many seats as they can physically cram into the space. That's why plane windows don't line up with the seats. Most planes are painted white to save money on fuel. The heavier the plane is (and it gets heavier when painted), the more fuel it needs. The color white also reflects light better, which means the plane won't overheat because of the sun's rays. Plus, white makes it easier to notice cracks, leaks, and any other damage that needs to be fixed. The temperature onboard is kept close to freezing for a reason. Many airplane passengers get hypoxia, which is when a person is more likely to faint at high altitudes than on the ground. It happens when bodily tissues don't get enough oxygen. To minimize the risk of it, airlines keep the temperature low. Music: Rondo Brothers - Special Ed https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/...

If you had pitocin in the past and it felt like your birth was out of control, it was. Pitocin means your birth is being control outside your body.

Encore! EP297: A Driver of Patient Engagement and Clinician Team Success That Is Almost Always Overlooked, With Jerry Durham

Relentless Health Value

For a full transcript of this episode, click here. This show has implications for provider organizations of all stripes, especially those looking to succeed in value-based care or those who need patient trust and relationships for any other reason, including just patient volume. This episode also is for provider organizations who are trying to prevent clinician burnout better. It's also for practices trying to get themselves into narrow networks where patient satisfaction is surveyed at some point in the process, and this includes Centers of Excellence networks. You know what the rate critical is that I talk about on the show today with Jerry Durham that rarely, if ever, gets talked about in any of these contexts? It's not some fancy data artificial intelligence thing or something else the doctor needs to be clicking on or nurses need to step up and handle. Nope. I'm talking about the front desk. What an overlooked secret to success or a clinician and clinical failure point! Consider that what goes on on or about the front desk is either gonna set up the doctor or other provider for success or make it really really hard for them. This is what I talk about today with Jerry Durham in this encore episode from a couple of years ago that is still so incredibly relevant because the insights that Jerry shares are so often overlooked and they impact both patients but also doctors and other clinicians in ways we don't often think about but, in this era of staff shortages and burnout, I'd suggest maybe we should. Here's something I never really understood: how physicians and nurses more often than not get to be responsible for the entire patient journey, including, start to finish, patient satisfaction. But if you just take one look at any random poorly rated physician's reviews, they're usually littered with complaints about the front desk in the practice. Negative reviews, of course, are not limited to front desk diatribes; but there's often a lot of front desk commentary in them. It has always seemed to me to be a common and strange phenomenon in healthcare provider practices where the front desk is like a totally separate little fiefdom with a different mission statement and goals from the healthcare providers in the same exact office. Isn't that odd when you think about it? I mean, first, the front desk is literally physically separated from everybody else. No matter which direction you approach from, there's at a minimum a half-wall barrier surrounding them. Sometimes, in directions most likely to receive an attack, I suppose, there's been added a big glass barrier. Liliana Petrova pointed this out in episode 236 of the Relentless Health Value podcast, and it was really the first time that I had thought about it at all and also thought about the implicit message this sends not only to patients but also to clinicians. That whole physicality of the setup, it just screams, “We over here have nothing to do with the mission or vision of anyone else in this place. We have our own thing going on over here, and to do it, we need to be protected from you all and all of your chicanery and untoward goings-on, you doctors and nurses and patients!” So, I was really inspired the first time I heard Jerry Durham from The Client Experience Company talking. His message, as I understood it, was that a practice really on board with helping patients achieve the best patient outcomes and, nothing for nothing, erode clinician burnout includes the front desk in their thinking. Jerry has said that there's four phases in the patient life cycle, as he calls it, which is sort of a synonym for the patient journey: 1. Marketing 2. The moment that a patient/person engages with the clinic or office 3. Provider interactions 4. The post course of care So, all of these phases—all four of them—are critical to both patient outcomes and experience but also, really, to business success. So, you kind of almost have to do well by doing good. The front desk is mostly responsible for that phase two: what happens when that person/patient engages with your office or clinic. In this healthcare podcast, as mentioned, I'm talking with Jerry Durham. He's a former physical therapist and practice owner who has worked with a whole lot of PT (physical therapy) practices and also other MSK (musculoskeletal) specialties among other clients. His message transcends the specialty, however. In this healthcare podcast, we get into a lot of aspects in terms of how a front desk can work for or against patient experience and outcomes. One of them is how a front desk can help secure a patient's relationship with a practice. Without a relationship and trust, patient outcomes are meh at best. But a lack of trust is a big hairy factor behind disparities in outcomes among different ethnic groups, for example, as one point to ponder. Also mentioned in this episode are Liliana Petrova and Julie Rish, PhD. You can learn more at clientexperiencecompany.com or by emailing Jerry at jerry@jerrydurhampt.com.   Jerry Durham is a healthcare consultant and physiotherapist with a singular passion for leveraging the entire healthcare practice team toward improved patient outcomes while increasing the practice bottom line. Jerry has 30+ years' experience as a physiotherapist, including 20+ years of business ownership, including practice ownership, business consulting, and a virtual front desk sales solutions for healthcare practices. Jerry has spent a lot of time on the front line of physio practices answering calls and learning why patients think and act the way they do when interacting with the front desk team. He has learned how to leverage the information at first contact carried all the way through to a completed plan of care, and these are the systems that lead to greater patient outcomes and greater practice success. Jerry defines these systems as “the rules of client engagement.”   05:49 What is the patient life cycle? 06:48 What are the milestones of the patient life cycle? When does it start? 10:05 “This isn't a business solution; this is a patient-driven solution.” 10:21 “What is best for the patient is best for business.” 13:25 “The takeaway there is that your team members are all driving toward the same goal.” 14:34 How does the front desk impact health outcomes? 16:41 What is the objective of a front desk to reduce provider burden? 20:03 EP236 with Liliana Petrova. 21:18 “There's actually three roles at the front desk.” 30:37 EP228 with Julie Rish, PhD.   You can learn more at clientexperiencecompany.com or by emailing Jerry at jerry@jerrydurhampt.com.   @Jerry_DurhamPT discusses #patientengagement and #clinicianteam success on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #healthcareleadership #healthcaretransformation #healthcareinnovation   Recent past interviews: Click a guest's name for their latest RHV episode!

Gere was the crew chief for both of Sam's championships and can testify first hand to his talent behind the wheel of a race car, his strength and his ALMOST ALWAYS gentle demeanor and the terrible accident that ended Sam's driving career. We then take a deep dive into the March 1, 1984 issue of Grand National Scene.  Cale Yarborough caps off an extraordinarily successful week with a win in the Daytona 500 AND Ricky Rudd comes back from a vicious wreck in the Busch Clash to win at Richmond and in the process, gives co-host Steve Waid a quote for the ages. There's also coverage of serious Daytona accidents involving three part-time competitors, including one who would go on to be named one of the 75 greatest drivers in NASCAR history. Darrell Waltrip wins Daytona's Busch Series event after mechanical trouble foils Sam Ard's bid for the victory and Joe Ruttman's team taps young Kenny Wallace as its co-crew chief.
