B was recently asked by a friend who is taking photography classes, if she would be her model. Of course, she said yes. So here's one of her latest shots. I have to admit, this group of photos is definitely not what I've become accustomed to seeing, when we get copies of the photos. But she's still my favorite subject, so I guess I'll still share ;-)

I guess I have to keep in mind that these were taken by a student. B said she got no instructions at all. But she learned a few things too. Number one was, next time she'll take more time to assess her outfit in advance, instead of relying on the photographer to tell her if it's not the most flattering ;-)  OR, as in the wedding gown photo shoot, (here's something you didn't know)  she may need to put clips down the back of the outfit, to cinch in any extra fabric. ;-)

BTW, for everyone who participated in my video footage from Rain Camp in Orlando (in August), yes, I have finally started putting all the pieces together and editing the video, and adding music... at least I finally started working on it  >.<

My last post was a reblog of C Tann Star's post about recent changes on Facebook, that allowed random people to add you to groups without your knowledge. At that point, and up until now, I had not had this personally happen to me... that I know of. But just a few minutes ago, I was logged in, and a box popped up at the bottom of my screen, saying that *insert name* had just added me to the group "Please Join! Stop Bullying In Schools!!".

Well, that certainly sounds like a worthy cause, but the problem is, I did not add myself to the group. Someone else took it upon themselves to add me. To take this to an extreme, isn't that a violation of our Civil Rights? Of my own volition, that may be a group that I would choose to join. But to have myself added, without even a request by this person; now that just ticks me off. So I immediately followed the link, and removed myself from the group.

If you haven't read my re-blog post yet, please do so, and change your settings so this can't happen to you! (Instructions are in the post.) What if the group had been something offensive? And as Americans, don't we all want the right to make our own decisions and choices about where we decide to join the fight?

Well, I'm now going to stop procrastinating, and go change my settings ASAP! I suggest you all do the same; especially if you don't login and check your news feed every day. In that case, who knows what kind of abuses can take place without your knowledge, and actually cost you business if your name is showing up on an offensive list?

Unbelievable! We all know Facebook has been making a lot of changes lately, but this one takes the cake. This is definitely a Need-to-Know item! I just wish I knew what Facebook's end-game goal was. Does anyone have the dirt on FB?

For now; so you can protect yourself, read Carolyn's post below.

I'm late on posting about Port Orange Family Days this year, since I haven't been blogging as much. And it's happening right now! But don't worry. It lasts all weekend. And so far we're having great weather for it!

So if you live in the Port Orange/Daytona Beach areas, head on over to the Port Orange City Center. If you've never been before, you should definitely go! You can enjoy music, games, food (LOTS of food!), fun and rides at the midway! I rarely miss a year, so I'll be there tomorrow. (You'll probably find me on the rides.)

If you're interested in buying or selling real estate in the Port Orange or Daytona Beach areas, hunt me down tomorrow at Port Orange Family Days! I'm a Daytona Beach native, and experienced REALTOR® for all of east Volusia county. You can always just e-mail or call me too ;-)   Have a great weekend!

P.S. Tonight's live music at the amphitheater will feature Jim Van Fleet (FOX TV Weatherman) as the lead vocalist for Jim Van Fleet and "The Reign". (Curiosity alone would have me at that if it wasn't country music :-P )  The live show is from 7:00-9:00 p.m. tonight!

I can't remember the last time a bit of news got me this excited. (I'll bet Vegas Bob is jumping up and down right now!)

If you haven't read about the most recently found planet in the "Goldilocks Zone", you have to check out this article... "Could Goldilocks Planet Be Just Right for Life?"  What got me the most excited was this one quote- "...because conditions are ideal for liquid water, and because there always seems to be life on Earth where there is water, Vogt believes that chances for life on this planet are 100 percent."

I don't know about the rest of you, but I want to be first in line for a real estate license there :-P  Any new-planet-real estate developers out there? Call me!  LOL

Have a great day. And if you're interested in buying real estate on planet Earth... specifically, East Volusia County (Daytona Beach-Port Orange-Ponce Inlet, etc.) make a Smart Choice and contact Lisa Hill for all your real estate needs.

Yes, once again I've stolen a picture from my daughter's Facebook page. And this one really takes the cake. Her college (located in the Disney area, just over an hour from the Daytona Beach-Port Orange area) has Wi-Fi throughout the campus (supposedly so they can learn more).

Apparently, the general consensus is that this particular class is on the boring side. So during lectures, the kids all get on Skype. Of course they can't use their microphones during class, but they can turn on their web cams, and type into the chat portions. Oh, and they can take still shots too. (Evidence! lol)

The next time I hear her complain about her student loans, I think I'll just show her this picture :-P

If you're interested in buying a house or condo in Daytona Beach, Port Orange, Ponce Inlet, and all the surrounding cities in East Volusia County, make a Smart Choice and contact Lisa Hill for all your real estate needs.

If you need a professional REALTOR® with excellent marketing skills to help you sell your house or condo in Daytona Beach, Port Orange, Ponce Inlet, or any of the surrounding cities in East Voluisa County, I'd love to help!

Shiver me timbers! Here's something silly and fun, and yer gettin a one-day advance notice fer it. Cuz Sunday, September 19th is "Talk Like a Pirate Day".   (Arrrrr) 

Yes, I'm serious. Of course it's true. It's on them thar internets! (lol) I would SOO love to see pirate videos... wait... not pirated video... Crap... I can't even correct that with the term "bootleg" videos   >.<    OK, so you know what I mean. Hmm... I'll bet Broker Bryant could make an excellent pirate video. OMG! How about Bertha as a pirate wench!   O_O   (I just went into shock on that one.)

In reality, "Talk Like a Pirate Day" is actually the launch of a new brand of groceries. But I'll take any excuse to have a bit of fun =)  So lighten up and have a little fun this weekend. And follow this link to visit the Facebook page for Pirate Booty Day. And no, I'm not even gonna touch all the other jokes that come to mind. I'm sure someone will come up with something in the comments!

o_O

OK, so this post is not about real estate, since I'm still enjoying the photo (and picture) blogs, and I do tend to get stuck on my favorite image subject... my fabulous daughter! (Biased? What makes you think that?)

On Sunday I posted a picture of my daughter "fighting" a big, bad dinosaur. *Gasp!* There was much deliberation over who would win. Well, according to this shot, I think my daughter showed the dino who's boss! he he.  She took care of one and moved right on to the next one! (lol)

Umm... Notice the sign in the foreground? *sigh*

Welcome back! (to me-lol) Ahhh... Been having a nice, non-blogging break... *yawn*   (he he)  Still not in a big blogging mood (not ready to jump back in the saddle yet) so I figured, what better way to post something simple, than to feature one of my favorite subjects (my daughter) being her usual, goofy, self. (I still say I have NO idea where she gets this personality!)

Who do you think will win?

Oh. And yes. Once again, I stole this off my daughter's Facebook page. LOL!
