Watching tv I saw an ad for this site. The tips were so great I want to share it with everyone.

Compost garbage?? or use garbage disposal wisely

Wash your dog outside and rinse right on the grass.

Put stopper in tub when you start to fill it.

Bathe your kids together. (we use the water after they get out..for our little inside dogs)

Turn off shower when you lather your hair to shampoo

(I thought of this on my own inc shaving legs-ok more than you wanted to know)

Turn off water when you are lathering your hands. After all you only need it to wet them and rinse them.

Turn off water during the 2 minute (dentist suggested) toothbrushing time.

Throw kleenex into trash can not toilet ( this is really a no brainer)

I know one hard core ocean-caring-wonderful friend who goes even further-

he says to the kids..".if its brown flush it down if its yellow let it mellow" He is getting his Masters from Long Beach State in Ocean related studies, and did a wonderful interview documentary to save our local beaches from cigarettes dropped on the streets and storm drains that take it to our ocean, off of  Redondo Beach or Hermosa Beach. Yuck. very uncool to litter the ocean with that. His video is called "No Butts"

You will not find that on the link above however.

This is one of those all info is ok blogs. I want your ideas..lets share!

Inman news had an Active Rain blog link with so many great comments on this google wave. I want one!

Years ago I did what I was told. I  bought my domains like a very good realtor and took the things I owned LynnePope.com. Then thought...why did I do that...who am I lynne@lynnepope.com? I had some different email providers and when I got smarter I got my very own gmail account. I actually fell in love with its ease.  My Yahoo husband never got any of my emails although I was in the very next room. Technology brings us nearer those in India, the Far East and Farther but even farther than our next of kin with some other place to hang their email. I think its cool that its got a ymail name now...so clever. Wonder how they ever thought that one up?  

Then the discoveries on google.

Chrome.. fast but then kind of slow and ended up with just I don't know-s-!

Google docs and google calender all like Christmas to each and all.

A catnip pleasure that grows and grows.

The next roaring platform I will find or fall

 Someone invite me before,, I explodes !

Our area touches the ocean literally, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Palos Verdes. So we want to climb on the next wave, wherever it is whenever it arrives.

California will not fall off into the ocean of google waves.  Surfboards ride ideas across the universe. The Google wave makes the whole world be in oceanfront computers. nice ride.

So many people are losing their homes due to the mortgage...meltdown. I discovered a wonderful group. NACA.com They came to many major cities and are helping people lower the mortgage rates to keep them in their home. They were Boston Based in the beginning...and may still be. They are affiliated with www.CMACaudits.com = They evaluate your whole loan package and search for any errors, fraud and are finding 85% are with problems. (its called a Forensic Audit).thus positioning the homeowner to have leverage arm bending the bank to listen up and do something .....family by family,,,,home by home. If you had multiple homes they could not help you. This is for one home owned by a family with a loan or a balloon or problem paying. If you had another home but with a family member living in it (that seemed to be an exception) I am trying to say a lot in a little time. NACA had a small article in the LA times on a Thursday to come to the convention center. It was for 5 days. Droves of people filled the rooms. It looked like Disneyland. They herded us into huge rooms and had people on megaphones tell us to start here. go there fill in this...and eventually get a number...and get to meet with a person (if they didn't bring their loan papers- not just the bank statement- they had to go home and get them. they met with people in another room one family with one helper trained person....then they got to go to sit in sections labeled...CHASE, Citi,WAMU, whatever...A representative of that company would meet with you. CAN you BELIEVE IT! They would bring someone to the microphone and announce every loan reworked to tell the results. People were going from 7% to 3%. Please pass this legitimate information on. They do not charge...anything.

the treo is dying..in my very hands. Palms... My husband and sons are on i-phone.

The realtors I know are on treo or blackberries.

I just read Jeff Turner on reading books in the kindle app on his iphone. I think I am convinced.

Help me active rainers....I am so scared to learn a new phone. To leave sprint for ATT

what a monopoly. I would have to say that sprint gets me reception in Palos Verdes where many phones don't work at all.  ( Agents should disclose it now if they are smart) Or the drops that I already know of right on Knob Hill in Redondo Beach. I know how to pace those calls.

I want to read I want a kindle what if I got it all in one place. what if I could get a phone that actually showed me the mls instead of this one??

What if it had email that I could find and a GPS..the treo email has eluded me. The gearshift has been replaced by electric!

I await your advise. Thank you for the years of brilliant articles. I have to unstick the 70"s

I finally joined. I got the new package which includes the online e-tools. www.weightwatchers.com

This online activity is helping me figure out the simple value of foods. Im a typical Realtor, running around on empty, stop for an icy coke since I am starving and thirsty. When I started going I learned I am a salt craver even more than sugar. The whole room was the salt or the sugar. I learned simple things like the whole fruit is the filling food we can use before going out to dinner to curb eating all the bread on the table before the meal.

I learned to get back on when I fall off. Most of all I have found out how to eat foods with value to my feeling really full and that starving diets only work when I am starving.

I offer this not as anyone connected to weightwathers. The little simple things I learned were sometimes small aside comments. "I am a picker the speaker said and I pick at all the food my kids leave on their plates"

That triggered the memory of never leaving food on my plate growing up, it was not allowed. We grew up that people in India were starving. Appology India, we now get our best tech support there. Times.. they are a changing!

I am eating turkey bacon, whole grain bread (toast) whole apples, popcorn, instead of a diet shake.

We live in Redondo Beach. We have to skip the pie (easy) if you want to wear a bathing suit at the beach instead of all your clothes.

Seldom does an article offer real hard concrete advise. Seldom is it original. If I ever recommended one to read this is it. This is the pearl inside the shell for recovery. Read this and share it, if you feel its as great as I think it is. How do we get this to be what people talk about instead of doom gloom doom..

Back when...all this started. The sales just...stopped. It took time for people and the press to start to comment. Realtors were like sailboats on an ocean without wind. We just suddenly sat there. Some of us had just bought or sold property and were caught unprepared out on the ocean. We have been paddling in ever since.

Many of us are using our savings to stay afloat. Many went to other industries. The numbers in California are that we had 50 thousand Realtors. Only about 1200 sold 5 or more homes. Only 700 sold 6 or more homes. Staggering information. In the South Bay area, right here in Hermosa and  Redondo Beach we couldn't find lenders to loan over the 629K. This alone hit the sales in these ocean view properties well over 1 million.

Cash for clunkers worked for car sales. It helped the green America idea for cleaner air.

All the things we do are synergistic. All things are connected. We need cars to go to work. We need power for the cars, We need homes for our families and home taxes to pay for our schools and public services.

Right now we are in the clean up of our generation. I pray the leadership in our country will make miraculous headway in creating the History they can proudly bears their name.

My seller says his home is worth what its worth and he could care less.

Does the July 30th lender rule change our market?  Sellers don't see it yet if they are actively showing their home.

Does the BANK know? Oh yes, and they are having to lower the prices. This is because they are dealing with so many. They have to bend over, and over.

The seller dealing with one house to sell.. well how many opprotunities do they get to practice.

We need that buyer...and they need that loan. I would love to see some comments on this.

Several deals right now have caused people to remove the appraisal as a contingency.

This might not be the time to do that.

Living near the beach is a plus. Does the out of area discount appraiser need to keep his job secure first? Or  will the appraiser consider the summer rush to find a home near the beach, in top LA school district WEST HIGH in Torrance.

You should see this. Why? - any person in any industry will realize that we are careening into a new reality in nanoseconds. Prepare your clients, children, everyone to know....what is so.

Prepare to learn it, hire it out and get it done by someone in India if your kid won't help you.

Agents get with the program or snooze through another fast paced future.

Technology. its another word for information road....is it the one most travelled YES!!!

I want my grandkids to see that its going to be a fun ride into learning too!

Our RE/MAX office in California presented a seminar on Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Linkdin and its culmination was this video. Its better than Sara Boyle and she is really good too.

Itchy dog?

bathe once a week in  blue dawn

rinse in 9 parts water to 1 part Listerine ie 9- 1/2 c water and 1 -1/2 cup Listerine

give a omega 3 pill 1 x a day ( I squeese it into their mouth_)

They smell good too

for the added itches during the week I put on a bit of the Listerine water on a cotton ball and soothe away my dogs irritation. homeopathic maybe?

as for a real recipe

uh...

split hot dogs in half long ways , grill , toast the bun and enjoy it. Otherwise stop by 7/11 and they have a 2.99 special dog, chips and drink, maybe only in California

Great for hot Realtors on the road.

I have a great website (I think) but is kind of lonely. With active rain I feel the energy of the voices inside. I get responses, I have connected, I have friends.

My friends have something worthwile to say. Its better, way better than high school but there is a bit of that too. There are the Popular bloggers, the cute way of saying things, the ones who know everything, the smartest, the teachers pets, the overachievers, the underdogs. Its ok here at active rain, we all have a space, a place and a voice.

Thats a lot to love. The way its not like high school is that its cool to share your knowledge. Active rain took me to Inman, to REBAR camps, and it connects me to my real estate friends everywhere.

Here is my yearbook sign in page. ( we make comments on active rain- just like yearbook entries) See you next year!  well, see you next post!

Mara Hawks- you make Alabama special to me.

Isabel- you make Miamiasm memorable

Laurie Manny- you make women stand up and cheer ( what a rascal!)

Bridges brothers- you are the jets

RES PRES- you are THE MAN!

see the fun here?
