Simon Conway's Orlando Real Estate Blog

There are a bunch of them out there - most of them are the first one lifted here from YouTube, but the second one I hadn't seen before. If the trailers are anything to go by then this season looks to be much better than last and certainly way better than the two hour special we all just saw. Enjo...

There is still time to share your Thanksgiving with members of our military who are far from home. You see at this time of year there are thousands of men and women who serve in our armed services who are hundreds of miles from home and only have what the military are able to dish up. I did think...

By now my regular readers will be aware that I'm a new citizen of the United States (I promise I won't say that after January 1!) and as such I like to investigate the real history of our nation. So we all know the traditional story of the original Thanksgiving, but it was a bit too perfect for m...

I found this today and it made me laugh. This guy is so full of himself it is almost scary - but he is in fact becoming a charicature now. Those easily offended should probably look away, but those who take their politics with a pinch of humor will I'm sure enjoy it as much as I did. Get the late...

What follows is a true story. In fact it really only just ended today and I am lucky because it could have taken months to even know there was a problem. So what I am about to tell you is in regards to my own personal CREDIT CRISIS and how I resolved it and what you can do to ensure it does not h...

"Let us resolve not to become the negative party, too eager to find fault or unwilling to help in this time of crisis and war.

As a new Citizen I am perhaps more aware than some lucky enough to have been born here of the value of being here. I chose to be here and to embrace my new land and its culture. Our way of life; our democracy; our ability to know right from wrong and to stand up for justice and our freedoms whic...

I woke up this morning to discover I'd gone through the magical 300,000 point barrier. Amazingly, it is still possible to breathe here! It has in fact, come much sooner than I thought it would. And what a journey it has been! There have been Localism posts including some features, stories about m...

I have no idea what the story is here, but in my continuing efforts to bring the best animal videos to your attention comes this effort I found on Yahoo. The animal world is truly full of amazing things. This one just seems so unlikely given the breed of dog we are seeing here. Anyway, enjoy. The...

How stupid am I? I volunteered for the McCain/Palin campaign. Spent hours and hours making phone calls. And not one time did I ask for a pay check. I did get a couple of slices of Pizza and a diet coke, but apart from that I just got "thanks" and the priviledge of being a part of something I beli...
