Toxic Mold? Chemical Burn? Don't Let This Be YOU! - 09/30/11 06:21 AM
This is a post I have been wanting to write for weeks but couldn't find the courage because until today I didn't know what was going to happen to me.  Reading Jay Markanich's post A Very Sad and Dangerous Inspection made me realize I shouldn't wait any longer to write it.  Co-incidentally between last night and today I have had a break through so it makes it easier for me to write. 
Several weeks ago I was out showing houses with a new buyer and having a great time like I usually do.  I love my job, I love new … (103 comments)

They Stepped Up - Would You? Fiery Crash - 09/23/11 09:07 AM
For those of you who haven't seen this video it is an amazing showing of people stepping up without thought for themselves to help someone else in dire need.  
At first they didn't realize anyone was even alive from this terrible crash.  When they did, without any thoughts for the danger they might be in from the burning car that could explode at any moment from the gasoline;  people just appeared out of nowhere.  With unbelievable strength - well I will let you watch for yourself.

Bon Jovi - Thank You For Loving Me - 09/20/11 06:45 AM
When I post the Bon Jovi videos I tend to go for the rock videos or something from a movie or television. 
So this one is a big change up for me.   I love this song as I do all of their songs & one of my best friends tends to sing parts of this song in a hokey voice when she thinks I need cheering up.

Hurricane Irene has come and gone but she is still wreaking havoc.  Several days ago we were in danger of having to leave our home for the first time in 16 years because of flooding.  Just about every road around my house was closed because of rising waters and then I found out the water was starting to pour over the bridge at the end of my street.   At the other end of the street to the left the road was closed and to the right a little ways down it was closed as well.  For the first time I felt … (21 comments)
