fayetteville arkansas real estate: Have you known clients and agents who show “ostentation”?
- 05/27/11 11:45 PM
In reality I have not been in this business for an extended amount of time. But during my short time I have noticed people who exhibit this. Do I really like what I see not so much? If you have it there is no need to flaunt it people will know. I believe people who do this are insecure and this helps them cope with their insecurity. So now for the meaning of (as’ten ta’shen) showy display as of wealth, knowledge, etc. So how many people do you know or have known who has this problem?

fayetteville arkansas real estate: LOGIC 101
- 05/27/11 01:11 AM
"If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq Theater of operations during the past 22 months, and a total of 2,112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers. The firearm death rate in Washington , DC is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same period. That means you are about 25 per cent more likely to be shot and killed in the US capital, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the U.S., than you are in Iraq . Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington

fayetteville arkansas real estate: Do you know of agents or clients who suffer from “ennui’?
- 05/24/11 11:16 PM
OK here we go… I don’t know about you but I know of agents and clients who suffer from this problem. To be frank I also have been known to suffer from this problem but not since I became an agent.
The question(s) I ask you is have you suffered or know of clients who have and even now suffer from this problem? Now for the meaning of (an’we’) weariness and dissatisfaction resulting from inactivity or lack of interest. Enjoy the day

- 05/23/11 11:29 PM
Colonoscopies are no joke, but these comments during the exam were quite humorous.... A physician claimed that the following are actual comments made by his patients (predominately male) while he was performing their colonoscopies:
1. 'Take it easy, Doc. You're boldly going where no man has gone before!'
2. 'Find Amelia Earhart yet?'
3. 'Can you hear me NOW?'
4. 'Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?'
5. 'You know, in Arkansas , we're now legally married.'
6. 'Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?'
7. 'You put … (15 comments)

- 05/23/11 12:11 AM
A man was leaving a convenience store with his morning coffee when he noticed a most unusual funeral procession approaching the nearby cemetery. A black hearse was followed by a second black hearse about 50 Feet behind the first one. Behind the second hearse was a solitary man walking a dog on a leash. Behind him, a short distance back, were about 200 men walking single file. The man couldn't stand the curiosity. He respectfully approached the man walking the dog and said, "I am so sorry for your loss, and this may be a bad … (10 comments)

fayetteville arkansas real estate: Golf Poem
- 05/22/11 12:10 AM
In My Hand I Hold a Ball,
White and Dimpled, and Rather Small.
Oh, How Bland It Does Appear,
This Harmless Looking Little Sphere.
By Its Size I Could Not Guess
The Awesome Strength It Does Possess.
But Since I Fell Beneath Its Spell,
I've wandered Through the Fires of Hell.
My Life Has Not Been Quite the Same
Since I Chose To Play This Stupid Game.
It Rules My Mind for Hours on End;
A Fortune It Has Made Me Spend.
It Has Made Me Curse and Made Me Cry,
And Hate Myself … (14 comments)

fayetteville arkansas real estate: Bubba Had Shingles
- 05/21/11 01:02 PM
Bubba Had Shingles those of us who spend much time in a doctor's office should appreciate this! �Doesn't it seem more and more that physicians are running their practices like an assembly line? �Here's what happened to Bubba:
Bubba walked into a doctor's office and the receptionist asked him what he had. �Bubba said: 'Shingles.' �So she wrote down his name, address, medical insurance number and told him to have a seat.
Fifteen minutes later a nurse's aide came out and asked Bubba what he had.� Bubba said, 'Shingles.' �So she wrote down his height, weight, a complete medical history and told Bubba to wait … (5 comments)

For several years, a man was having an affair with an Italian woman.

ruin his reputation or his marriage, he said he would pay her a large
sum of money if she would go to Italy to secretly have the child. If
she stayed in Italy to raise the child, he would also provide child
support until the child turned 18.
She agreed, but asked how he would know when the baby was born..
To keep it discreet, he told her to simply mail him … (17 comments)

fayetteville arkansas real estate: The girl, father and the museum…
- 05/18/11 11:19 PM
Seems as the story goes a father had taken his little girl to a museum. As they were walking around they came upon a replica of one of the ships that brought the Pilgrims over across the ocean. She also saw the meager belongings the Pilgrims took with them. After looking at the articles and ship the girl said to her father “They must have believed in something.”
Keeping that in mind we all start with meager beginnings and look what the Pilgrims accomplished. You may ask what has this to do with real estate. We all begin with … (6 comments)

A Little Golf Story A father put his 3 year old daughter to bed, told her a story and listened to her prayers which ended by saying:"God bless Mommy, God bless Daddy, God bless Grandma and goodbye Grandpa." The father asked, "Why did you say goodbye Grandpa?" The little girl said, "I don't know, Daddy, it just seemed like the thing to do." The next day grandpa died. The father thought it was a strange coincidence. A few months later the father put the girl to bed and listened to her prayers which went like this: "God bless Mommy, … (12 comments)

- 05/15/11 05:07 AM
Seems a Montana Redhead makes a rolling stop at a stop sign, and gets pulled over by a local policeman. She hands the cop her driver's license, insurance verification, plus her concealed carry permit.
"Okay, Ms. Smith," the cop says, "I see you have CCW permit. Are you carrying today?" "Yes, I am." "Well then, better tell me what you got." Ms. Smith says, "Well, I have a .357 revolver in my inside coat pocket. There's a 9mm semi-auto in the glove box. And, I've a .22 magnum derringer in my right boot." "Okay," the cop says..

fayetteville arkansas real estate: Are you and your clients in a triangle relationship?
- 05/14/11 12:03 AM
Here we go I thought the caption might get your attention. I can see your mind racing thinking is he going to spill the beans? Well now Pilgrim you know me better than that.
Lesson: When you first meet your client you are like the base of a triangle. Not knowing whether to trust the other person or not. There is doubt like one on a first date. As you converse and talk you come to a mutual agreement and as the property is placed on the market the base is established. When an offer comes in as negotiations … (8 comments)

As the story goes a young boy wanted to get his parents something special for a gift. As he approached them he was filled with excitement. He said: “When I grow up I’m going to buy you an electric can opener, an electric toaster an electric stove and an electric chair”. While the meaning of the last gift is not known or what the outcome was imagine you making the same mistake on words you use when talking to a client. Chose your words carefully before speaking, once they have been spoken nothing can take the words back or the … (10 comments)

fayetteville arkansas real estate: I did a Cardinal Sin…
- 05/12/11 12:46 AM
The other day my wife and I stayed home and did some yard work. Raking some leaves, burning (called the fire department). Mowed, used the weed eater. Needless to say we were busy. She asked me to go and get a truck load of mulch. Getting away from the back breaking work was a relief and gladly I took the wallet and left. I drove up and drove up to the place and after getting the mulch the guy and I started talking. Seems he’s interested in selling the business, land, building and everything as the old saying goes lock … (11 comments)

fayetteville arkansas real estate: Boudreaux, smooth talking Cajun
- 05/10/11 11:47 PM
Boudreaux, the smoothest-talking Cajun in the Louisiana National Guard, got called up to active duty. Boudreaux's first assignment was in a military induction center. Because he was a good talker, they assigned him the duty of advising new recruits about government benefits, especially the GI insurance to which they were entitled. The officer in charge soon noticed that Boudreaux was getting a 99% sign-up rate for the more expensive supplemental form of GI insurance. This was remarkable, because it cost these low-income recruits $30.00 per month for the higher coverage, compared to what the government was already providing at … (8 comments)

fayetteville arkansas real estate: GERONIMO!!!
- 05/10/11 12:46 AM
I live near Oklahoma and often listen to talk radio through a station in Tulsa. Yesterday they had a poll asking people to vote if the term “Geronimo” offended any of them. The word was used when the Seals took out Ben Laden. A few Native Americans called and said they were offended most were not. That brings me to wonder what the heck is going on with this system. Someone somewhere will be offended by something someone says. When will we stop being “politically correct” I do believe this Country was founded on freedom of religion and speech along … (12 comments)
