[Don O'Brien @DonOBrienWriter]

@enthusmiasma @DOB23 It is a fun game for old people like me!

[Don O'Brien @DonOBrienWriter]

Did you know that it's National Consumer Protection Week? Well, you do now thanks to this story from @WGEM - https://t.co/nhTqQrnO4f

[Don O'Brien @DonOBrienWriter]

@IamRobSimms @andystrickland Rob, I still have not received an answer.

[Don O'Brien @DonOBrienWriter]

@andystrickland I ask because I didn't know Maryville had hockey and I'm in a town, Quincy, that has a school in the Great Lakes Valley Conference with them.

[Don O'Brien @DonOBrienWriter]

Mike makes a great point. I see this a lot in complaints file to BBB. A lot of $ after the total. Are we teaching anything these days? (Not a shot at educators. You have your hands full.)

[Mike Egenes @BallCoach_Mike]

@DOB23 While we’re at it, the dollar sign comes before the numerals, not after. $10, not 10$

[Don O'Brien @DOB23]

I’ve seen a number of accounts, some school accounts likely run by young people and other young journalists, who report losing scores first.

The proper way to list a score is the winning score first every single time. Your team did not lose 68-75. They lost 75-68.

Thank you.

Thanks to @WGEM for shining the light on rental scams in the Quincy area. https://t.co/xPGbL6CCDB

Pro tip: You don't really have to hit "reply all" on that email. You can email the person directly congratulating them for a new job.

Shout out to Oquawka.

[Don O'Brien @DOB23]

Thanks to @KUCardsFan for sending me a screenshot of my ugly mug popping up on Quad City TV. I popped up in SW Missouri last week. Always like to see/hear about where my BBB work shows up.

[Don O'Brien @DonOBrienWriter]

What a time to be a sports fan! Super Bowl Sunday is near. The winter Olympics this year and the World Cup is coming. Who else loves it? Scammers wanting to push bogus merchandise. Thanks to @WGEM for having me to talk about what to look for - https://t.co/LmjBnRVJOE

[Don O'Brien @DonOBrienWriter]

@GMcVey4 @NATYCAA2 @NACDA Officially jealous!

[Don O'Brien @DonOBrienWriter]

@coachbdixon It almost makes me miss the old days of Wednesday-Monday-Saturday playoff rounds.

[Don O'Brien @DonOBrienWriter]

Thanks to @MuddyNews for covering the latest @StLouisBBB release on subscription services. How many streaming services do you have? This is a good time to take inventory. https://t.co/l1uk1Jgn8N

[Don O'Brien @DonOBrienWriter]

Thanks to @WGILNews for having me on this morning to talk about how to stay scam-free in 2026. https://t.co/9Q3aFDlTSK
