Then this 6X6 bull decided he was going to challenge the bigger bull which was a 6X7 with more body weight … (2 comments)

This seems like eons ago, but really, it wasn't that long ago.Nowadays you have the freedom to look through the MLS® listings on the Internet … (4 comments)

Nail Polish Bottle Chandelier - 09/05/11 11:43 PM
Nail Polish Bottle ChandelierThis chandelier had to be thought up by a genius mind.Who would think to use left over nail polish bottles for a lighting fixture? Notice they are all the same bottles from a nail salon.I bet cleaning out the bottles was not a fun job but it certainly paid off.Anything left laying around the house or garage probably could be use for some sort of lighting fixture.

Are You Just an Option to Someone? - 09/05/11 04:00 PM
As we go through our lives we have priorities that make us who we are.In a relationship is the other person a priority to you and you are only an option to them? This will take some soul searching but in the end things will be more peaceful.I think this could also apply to real estate with the client and and agent relationship.There needs to be priorities set on both sides in order for the relationship to be lasting.If the client has you an an option and you don’t know it the frustration will paralyze you from moving on.
