Question for my fellow Realtors: Do you still send out snail mail to your customers and clients? If so, what do you send? Magnets/calenders/recipes/seeds/newsletters/etc? How often do you do mailings? Do you find they are successful? I find myself doing less and less snail mail each year. However, I still do touch my sphere of influence by mail 3-4 times a year. Just curious if this is standard or not in today's Realtor world. Let me know your thoughts.

kristin johnston: The Pickle Jar...Cute Story!
- 02/13/10 12:57 AM
The pickle jar as far back as I can remember sat on the floor beside the dresser in my parents' bedroom. When he got ready for bed, Dad would empty his pockets and toss his coins into the jar. As a small boy, I was always fascinated at the sounds the coins made as they were dropped into the jar. They landed with a merry jingle when the jar was almost empty. Then the tones gradually muted to a dull thud as the jar was filled. I used to squat on the floor in front of the jar to admire the (16 comments)
kristin johnston: Great Resource For Rural Housing
- 02/10/10 01:16 AM
Some of the first time home buyers that I am working with are taking advantage of the Rural Housing Program. I found this helpful resource to help determine if a home they are interested in will qualify, before we research it further. It has saved a great deal of time and effort, and is wonderful if you can't contact the lender in the meantime either. Enjoy! Rural Housing Resource Link

iStockphoto Last night, Nightline examined some of the controversy surrounding the dairy industry's treatment of cows. Contrary to the industry's advertising campaign filled with green pastures and happy cows, many of the nation's nine million dairy cows never step on a blade of grass in their lives. There are many serious concerns about the welfare of these animals. The HSUS led the successful fight last year in California to ban one significant assault on these animals: the tail-docking of cows. And a (12 comments)
1. Listen to slow tunes. Slower-paced music can lower your heart rate and blood pressure. So pick u some soothing CDs or make a "relax" play list for your Ipod. 2. Give yourself a time out. Set the alarm on your phone for 5 minutes, find a quiet place (even if it's a bathroom stall) and just sit and breath deeply. 3. Burn a scented candle. Choose lavender, lemon or mango, because they contain lanolil, a naturally occurring fragrance that reduces the (26 comments)
kristin johnston: Rats Have Holes Drilled Into Their Skulls in University of Texas-Dallas Classroom!
- 01/28/10 01:26 AM
I recently received this alert...animal lovers, please help!! Sorry, for some reason I couldn't get the links to work. Please go to peta.org and go to the related article (see bottom right corner), under action alerts) and respond!! Dear Kristin, PETA recently learned that students in an undergraduate neuroscience course at the University of Texas–Dallas drill holes into healthy rats' skulls, destroy portions of their brains with chemicals, and then inject them with amphetamines for behavioral experiments. The rats are then killed once the study concludes. Fortunately, an expert-endorsed interactive computer simulator is available as a replacement for the use of (12 comments)

NBA guard Gilbert Arenas scores points for animals and joins other legendary sports stars and celebrities by posing for PETA's "Ink, Not Mink" campaign. Gilbert shows off his tattoos and bares his skin to help animals keep theirs. Gilbert Arenas' Anti-Fur Ad Foxes, coyotes, minks, rabbits—even cats and dogs—are bludgeoned, strangled, and genitally electrocuted in the name of fashion. To avoid damaging their pelts, workers even skin some animals alive. Gilbert is a three-time NBA All-Star and a three-time member of the All-NBA Team. His sizzling moves have earned him nicknames such as "Agent Zero" and "Hibachi," a Japanese (26 comments)
