Well, … (23 comments)

If I could just Post 140 characters like Twitter I wouldn't have to worry about spell check or anything else. Think of all the time I would save learning if all of the Social Media sites limited what we wrote. All day I have been reading about basic HTML, and how … (21 comments)

Blogging helps us to let others know who we are, and what we have to offer, whether it's hard core skills, or inspirational messages. But do you really trust the person you are reading? We can learn so much if we are open to new ideas, and take the time to … (81 comments)

active rain: Tuesday Truths......Why the #1 can be the Loneliest Number in Real Estate - 07/08/08 01:02 PM
"People, people who need people are the luckiest people in the world"......these are words I remember from Barbara Streisand appropriately named "People." So, if we need people, and Real Estate is a People Business, then why do we work alone?
As I wrote last week I have closed … (36 comments)
active rain: My 200th Post........Trials of Changing Internet Browsers to Firefox - 07/04/08 02:08 PM
Some days I just feel old, but thankfully most days I have a lot of energy, and am willing to learn new things. Trying them, on the other hand takes a lot of trust, and knowing that there is a learning curve, which of course for me means frustration, causes indecision. … (47 comments)

active rain: Blogging Buddy kills 125........What!!! Turn it up Joe - 06/05/08 06:12 AM
Killing 125, why is it that we turn up the TV to hear this type of news or click on the links to read about it online? Why is it that we want to know about this awful occurence, even though it's not necessarily relatable. What happened? Who did it, and where was it? Our emotions … (43 comments)
