When Life Gives You Lemons... - 04/30/08 08:34 PM
Make Lemonade!
This morning at the office meeting, I started saying this, and my entire team completed my sentence.
"I guess I've said that before", I asked.
They all nodded "yes" in unison.
"What other things do I say frequently", I asked. Apparently, I have plenty of favorite … (22 comments)

My Daughter Got Baptized - 04/28/08 10:20 PM
My daughter is of a different religion, but we share the same God. On MY Easter Sunday (I am Greek Orthodox), she got baptized in the Ocean, embracing Jesus as her savior.
After immersing herself in bible study for well over a year now, she felt sure that she wanted to take … (42 comments)

Myrtle Beach Oceanfront: Red Hot Again! - 04/28/08 07:15 PM
For the past... too many months to count, I've been reporting monthly oceanfront sales of under 1.5%. All of a sudden, halfway through April, we are seeing an amazing surge of activity, a HUGE increase in sales. The jump is phenomenal: from under 1.5% to almost 12%!!! (in new "pending sales"). … (5 comments)

Hummer or Smart Car? - 04/23/08 11:45 PM
At almost $ 4.00 per gallon, the cost of "petrol" has "grounded" many gas guzzlers. At 10 mpg, the Hummer, the quintessential "hungry" one is seen mostly parked these days. The Smart car, at 69 mpg, has made its debut in the US, largely unnoticed. The Europeans have embraced it wholeheartedly; … (51 comments)

Born Into Brothels - 04/16/08 12:09 AM
I just watched an extraordinary documentary called "Born Into Brothels". Filmed in the miserable red-light district of Calcutta, India, the movie follows a group of children born and raised by their prostitute mothers and grandmothers. Directors Zana Brinski and Ross Kauffman chronicle the amazing transformation of these children as they discover … (15 comments)

The Charleston of my Dreams - 04/11/08 11:59 PM
I've traveled the World, yet I've never seen any place like Charleston, SC. If you've watched "Gone With The Wind" (and who hasn't?), you will feel like you fell back in time to that era and THAT place.
The gentility of the South is never more apparent than in Charleston: cobblestone … (21 comments)

You even translate my flyers into several languages. Just click on one of the flags at the bottom of the page and "Voila!", within seconds you have the French, German, Spanish version.

Life is GREAT! - 04/10/08 11:12 PM
I breathe in the air, smelling its freshness, filling my lungs with the essence of the miracle of yet another day.
I listen to all the sounds of the birds chirping and I am joyous to be able to hear.
I stretch my body and rejoice in the wonder of my physical being.
I … (14 comments)

SPECULATE NO MORE: I'VE GOT THE CRYSTAL BALL! BUY NOW!!! - 04/08/08 11:23 PM
NOT!
I don't know, and neither do the Big Boys! We are all exposed to the same information, whether you read "Your Own Small Town Newspaper" or The Wall Street Journal.
Clients ask me all the time to speculate, to render an opinion. I don't. I won't! I have no crystal … (10 comments)

Problem & Solution Forum: Sellers All Packed Up With Nowhere To Go... - 04/08/08 10:56 PM
I'm sure you've encountered it. It's a classic problem: Sellers are all packed up; the movers are coming in the morning and the deal falls through. How do you avert this problem?
As a standard procedure in my practice, in an owner occupied home, I contractually always ask for the sellers to … (9 comments)

Professional Responsibility... It's Not Just Rhetoric! - 04/08/08 09:58 PM
We had a saying in communist Romania: "we act like we're working, and they act like they're paying us." "They" in that sentence was the government, the sole employer for every single person in the country, whether doctor, lawyer, taxi driver or cleaning person.
It was under this "auspicious" environment of "make … (16 comments)

Soul Mate Nr.23 - 04/05/08 03:23 PM
An acquaintance of mine recently called his new girlfriend "His Soul Mate".
My ex-husband calls his current girlfriend "his soul mate", even though I was wife nr. 5 and the girlfriend doesn't even have a ring yet...
People throw around the term "Soul mate" to validate a current relationship, giving it a … (27 comments)

WILL SOMEBODY GET ME OUT OF HERE? - 04/01/08 01:37 PM
I've been arrested and will be put in jail for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Lock-Up. Don't even bother asking what crime I've committed - it's not really important. I just have to raise my bail of $ 3,000 before the Lock-Up and they'll go easy on me, but I need … (8 comments)
