texas am: Will phone books become extinct? - 06/24/08 10:46 PM
Tonight I decided that AR is better than a telephone book. It is certainly better than the yellow pages. I just had two people email me via AR within 9 minutes of each other. (Admittedly, this does not happen all of the time.)

texas am: Neutral or Colors??? - 02/08/08 10:21 PM
Which home will sell better? A home with neutral colors or a home with color?
