Who Is Mari Torres? - 12/25/06 10:38 PM
I'm skimming my way through the Blogs-No Ads section of the dashboard. Page one is totally annoying as I've had to scroll from right to left. Historically this has happened but disappears when I go to the next page so I'm anxiously awaiting page 2. Thank goodness! Page 2. There are two posts (23 comments)
Christmas from My House to Yours - 12/24/06 12:58 AM
It's officially Christmas Eve and I don't feel like working or thinking about real estate. I do feel like having a cup of cider, hot chocolate, specialty coffee or tea around our nanosphere table and chatting with my blogosphere friends.

New Internet Explorer - 12/11/06 03:06 AM
The last day or so, a message has popped up periodically on my computer: "New updates are available. Do you wish to update now." Invariably the message pops up in the middle of composing a blog entry and if I choose to do the update, the system usually has to be (3 comments)
A Wannabe Vacant Lot - 12/05/06 12:27 PM
Most of us have seen a plat drawing like the one on the left. It is not a survey map, but usually a copy of what the county has on file in their offices. This particular map is my son's property. He owns all of lot 6, lot 5 and the (9 comments)
