Heroes of a Different Kind ---Gary Woltal----And the Art of Woltalisms - 07/31/08 04:45 PM
                                                              
Well I hate putting people on a pedestal.....and I wouldn't want to place them up so high that its too easy for them to fall off.........or get a nose bleed, you know what I mean?  :-)......
But once in a while..............or on a whim and a fancy there comes along such a person.
I'm not sure if this is officially a "Them Them".........but ok we'll fly with that.....
Today Gary Woltal wrote a post about Heroes.....Heroes are Right Here in Your Own Backyard....and with the 'Cape' floating around in cyberspace,

Dog's Relationship to a Car - 07/24/08 07:12 PM
Thinking on the topic of love, and how people 'yearn' for love.....I read something recently that cracked me up.  Someone was relating people and relationships, to dog's and cars.
First, thy cry because they want to get in the car.

 
Then as soon as the car starts to move, they cry because they want to get out.
 

And of course, as soon as they get out, all they want to do is get back in as soon as possible.

 
Good thing for us, dogs aren't especially musical or just imagine....all the annoying songs there'd be … (51 comments)

50,000 Points Closer to Honing My Own Voice - 07/20/08 12:41 PM
 I truly didn't know what Active Rain was about.......it was referred to me by someone I hardly knew, but I checked it out, explored, read, commented and then I wrote my first post....March 15th....What is my Specialty?

MORE Forrest Gump??? By popular Request... More Realtor Metaphors - 07/19/08 02:28 PM
 A little while ago I wrote a post about Forrest Gump - A Metaphor for Realtors...I had several requests for 2nds..........but now I'm wondering if it was for MORE Forrest Gump Quotes or MORE Chocolates!
                                           
Well here we go.....!
                   
             
Its a fascinating story and an interesting challenging to us as Realtors......No matter what the handicap.....Forrest is able to run like the wind, and is able to stumble his way through his country's various turning points and crises, cushioned and fueled by his mothers simply aphorisms.......There aren't too many lines here that we can't relate to!  :-)

Mirror Mirror on the Wall - Who's the Most Irritating One of All? - 07/12/08 09:25 PM
I'm sure you've heard it said that the people that irritate us the most are the ones who expressing the same qualities that we have! Hmm......
No wonder our own family can be so annoying - we see ourselves in them! And I guess that goes to say, the see themselves in us!
 
                                           
 
Its probably not always true, but what an opportunity for growth if we can be alert to the possibility. We all know its easier to change ourselves then to change someone else!
So for example, we're working with this person who's a total pain … (34 comments)

Chronic Apologizing or is Love Never Having to Say You're Sorry? - 07/01/08 12:44 PM
Do you ever find yourself 'apologizing' for everything?  I don't think its in the typical 'saleman's' ego to do that........But you've probably all met someone who in the 'interest of keeping the peace'......will chronically apologize?
Now this is a different take from the Jenny's (Ali McGraw) with Oliver (Ryan O'Neil) in the infamous Love Story - where she says "Love is never having to say you're sorry".
                                 
                                               
It true that apologizing is a social convention - especially in our culture that keeps interactions between people polite and it can be helpful.  Actually saying Sorry seems to be a Hot Political … (40 comments)
