Helaman 9

20 Saying unto him: Thou art confederate; who is this man that hath done this murder? Now tell us, and acknowledge thy fault; saying, Behold here is money; and also we will grant unto thee thy life if thou wilt tell us, and acknowledge the agreement which thou hast made with him.
21 But Nephi said unto them: O ye fools, ye uncircumcised of heart, ye blind, and ye stiffnecked people, do ye know how long the Lord your God will suffer you that ye shall go on in this your way of sin?

I looove that response. When can I ever say something like that and it be deemed justified? Probably never. That is just common language then. 

I don't have a job yet but I'm not nervous and instead I'm worried about having enough money to pay my real estate fees. I should be fine especially since I have 2 checks left before I need to pay it. I'm going to read the book Keller Williams gave me. I REALLY am happy with my broker choice. The company is very agent-centric and the agents serve on local councils. I like their values and their training available. 

Curtis gets 14mpg on his truck. That didn't mean anything to me so I looked up my car and it is 18mpg. George's van is 14mpg too so it's just as bad as Curtis' truck but he has to drive from Utah Valley. I don't think it really costs him $100 to go from there to here. 

I can drive to my mother's house and back for about $20. Does that mean it'll be 30 or 40 for his truck? I'd say that would make George's entire trip closer to 85-100 instead of one-way. He is exaggerating. 

I just called George and he said it was around $50 one-way, $100 round-trip so I asked him why I thought it was more than that and he said because I'm stupid. Hahaha!!! Alright, so that's going to make it from 60-80 from Logan to Salt Lake City round-trip in Curtis' truck. That is still pretty bad. Alright I'm going to look up my desk now online.

I found it on Amazon for 22.00 BUUUT the shipping is 44.00. Sooo about $70 if I order it from Amazon. It is inexpensive, I just like it and I probably won't buy it online for myself. My assistant said her son has a pickup and it cost 106.00 to fill. She told me $50 would be a fair gas amount to give. That's what George said he'd have to spend one-way. Of course I wouldn't give George ANY gas money just because that is his Tongan cultural responsibility as my brother, PLUS he'd have to buy us dinner too - BUUUT I don't want to take advantage of him either. I know what my assistant said but I think with what George said $60 round-trip sounds like a fairer estimate. What sucks is George could be exaggerating because he knows I'm not going to give him any money for doing it.
