    Ooo, that's an even MORE Louisiana thing.

    People eat crayfish up here...occasionally, but it seems really silly. Up here, they just don't grow all that big. I prefer to get more calories from the food I'm eating than the amount of calories I burn eating the food.

    I saw a funny video about a guy ringing a bell at a football game. It's not exactly safe for this site, even though there isn't anything at all dirty going on.

    Edge sucks. Won't even launch on my Surface Pro 2. Can't remember what the suggested fix was - I know I was not wanting to apply it.

    Re: Post Race!

    Edge had a lot of optimism surrounding the initial release. I believe I have used it in a few places (including on my Surface Pro 2, by the way, but I came to doubt that just yesterday, and I haven't checked, yet), but it seems a bit buggy, to me. That's not a total surprise for such a new item, though.

    Re: Post Race!

    Edge is not a good browser, and you appreciate that more if your doing web development and testing it on the separate browsers, also i have never found Edge faster than Chrome.

    I have just downloaded the new Firefox browser its seem pretty quick but i will have to use it more to judge it properly, i do like the new GUI it just feels nicer and less bulky than old firefox

    Re: Post Race!

    I've used FireFox enough now for me to replace it back as my numero uno browser. I then use Chrome, not because of how quick it is, but because of the apps that I use on it (piggy, the great suspender, and HTTPS everywhere). I use IE for work and flex just sits on the toolbar.

    Re: Post Race!

    The little bit that I could gather is that he got stupid drunk at a party last night, fell and hit his head. Apparently he would randomly start blacking out and finally one of his friends (also drunk) drove him to the hospital. From what I understand, his lungs slowly stopped working last night and his brain wasn't getting enough oxygen so he would blackout.

    Dude, you ARE young....though not dumb. Up until 27, each year lasts like about 400 days (even more when you are younger than 12). For a decade or so after 27, years are roughly 365 days, then they just start getting shorter and shorter.

    On the other hand, some people just never do get older.

    Must be great to see a legacy in action! We've certainly exceeded your original challenge of 1000 posts!!

    To be honest Post Race is in a bit of a lull right now - it's been much hotter just a few months ago!

    All of chit-chat is in a bit of a lull...or a lol, but lull is more accurate. The Post Race went through a revival a few years back when Niya tried for the crown, only to find out that posting many thousand posts in short order is boring.

    I can finally release this good news because everything's has gone through. I was recently given a portion of a book of business from an agent who decided to sell her book of business back to the company.

    That is great news. What does it represent as a percentage of your total book now?

    Re: Post Race!

    Before, my total book of business was roughly $500k and the premium assigned to me was roughly $324k. The only catch is that I only get paid 3.5% commission on the policies unless I cross-sell the insured another policy; so basically the name of the game is to cross-sell.

    Re: Post Race!

    Say an insured has an auto policy that was assigned to me and the premium is $1,000. At my current "assigned" commission rate I would only receive $35 (or 3.5%) off the renewal of the policy. However, let's say that I then sell the same insured a homeowners policy or a life policy, then I would receive $100 (or 10%) off the renewal of the policy.
