Thanksgiving Blessings - 11/24/09 08:10 AM
Once again it's Thanksgiving, a time to be thankful, that time of year to reflect on all the things in our lives for which we are and should be forever grateful.  Most of us let the days pass by without stopping to express our gratitude.  But, on this one day, lets all make an effort to take the time out of our hectic lives to say Thank You.
 

 
We've each of us been blessed in many ways: with food in our fridges, clothes on our backs, roofs over our heads and a place to to call home.

Thank You Jim Cronin - First Ever Virtual REbar Camp - 11/18/09 09:35 PM
 

 
I was one of the fortunate ones that attended the First Ever Virtual REbar Camp that was held yesterday.  It was a free all day marathon of topnotch information presented in 27 webinars by super knowledgeable presenters.  
I've never been to an in person, live REbar camp and though I imagine that being able to have in person meet-ups between sessions to share knowledge and exchange tips would doubly enhance the experience, this was a great intro to REbar camp for me and has left me wanting to experience more.
I'm definitely on information overload, and I've got … (9 comments)

The New Homebuyer Tax Credit will remain $8,000 for first-time buyers, but previous homeowners or current homeowners who purchase between December 1, 2009 and … (5 comments)

GO GREEN – Battery Saturday in Suffern, NY - 11/03/09 10:52 PM
GO GREEN on Battery Saturday - The village of Suffern, NY is trying to do their part in GOING GREEN. They have set Saturday, November 7th, 2009 as the first “BATTERY SATURDAY” – meant to encourage people to keep their toxic batteries out of the waste stream.
Deputy Mayor John Meehan dreamed up the idea. Though the Town of Ramapo recycles batteries the drive to Pomona to the Rockland County Solid Waste Authority to dispose of them is often just not worth the trip for just a couple of smalll batteries. On Battery Saturday you won’t have to go far - … (3 comments)
