      <title>Do People in the Real Estate Business Have Tunnel Vision Or WHAT?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Do People in the Real Estate Business Have Tunnel Vision Or WHAT? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;I Think So!!&amp;nbsp; Brought to you by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iWannaTrade.com&quot;&gt;www.iWannaTrade.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;If You Open A New Real Estate Office------ You still need people to know where you are---- Bring your customers and find new ones.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Based on the tons of offices and agents/brokers who are out of business and the lack of thier effort to expand thier ways, they need to be everywhere on the internet. Yea we have a few who opened an information site, a few who do BPOs, and bank owned peoperties, etc and think this little effort will&amp;nbsp;make the same money they have done over the good years.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Try joining (it'sfree), list a few things in the free classifieds. Look around at the three platforms I offer starting with free classifieds, then go to trades, then check the auctions. Go ahead and open your store and see what we are about.&lt;br /&gt;I guess I do things a little different, when I found activerain.com first I read everything then I joined and tried everything I could on the site to see if I liked what is about. Wow it was exactly what I wanted I could go help real estate pros market them self on the internet, I added every state and I thought I was off with the tie between my blogs and your network. I had a few hundred listings a couple of stores but not from activerain. I just keep my blog rolling and offered repeated times. I did and still on front pages of google(search bank repo's, corona, norco, san bernardino, victorville, perris, cayon lake, etc) southern Cal where I ended up marketing direct and hard. I changed the categories to just real estate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I'll make you an offer - You get all your members to join list properties and services, open stores both free and paid ads&lt;/strong&gt;, I will put any and all categories that you all request to fit the needs of activerain.com members. They can link back and fourth from iwannatrade.com to thier own sites and back to wannaNetwork. This will give your members a platform and tools to expand the customer base.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>New Online Business Opportunities Now at iWannaTrade.com, a Better Market Place to Resell All Types of Sale Items </title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;New Online Business Opportunities Now at iWannaTrade.com, a Better Market Place to Resell All Types of Sale Items&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;People are already doing it. It can be easy. First decide what would sell and how to sell, online jewelry auction, online car auction, online collectible auction or any other items from baby items to cars, boats, tools, household items etc. Find low closeout prices for a number of items on the internet. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then at &lt;a href=&quot;http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/interstitial-page.jspa?businessUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.iwannatrade.com%2F&amp;amp;referrerUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fsmallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.iwannatrade.com/&lt;/a&gt; pick the best way to sell, there are various ways to go about reselling your discounted items, classified section, trade section, auctions section, both regular style and multiple items on the dutch auction section all on the same site.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Buy a wide variety of items that fit the budget and start building an inventory. No need to stay with one type of sale item pick some that are already selling.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jewelry is a great start, &quot;Bidz.com has great auctions&quot; said founder of iwannatrade Jon Varley they auction all types of jewelry at prices allowing room for reselling for a profit and they ship, so no running from yard sale to garage sale looking for the deals this is all done online. Compare the items to see what the market will bring and list those items on the new market place for low flat rate listing fees, no percentage taken out of the sale leaving more profits in the sale.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Start building an inventory to create a steady cash flow, buy more inventory. While growing the benefits of &lt;a href=&quot;http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/interstitial-page.jspa?businessUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.iwannatrade.com%2F&amp;amp;referrerUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fsmallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.iwannatrade.com/&lt;/a&gt; will make it easy to operate the new business. The auctions are true auctions when a bid is placed in the last minute it will add a minute so as long as bids are coming in the auction keeps going. The account pages keeps track of all activities to watch what sells the best. And will make book keeping much easier.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Use iwannatrade.com a number of ways online auction, online classified, online trade. buy, sell, trade and advertise products, business or services on the sponsor ads, scrolling line, put a banner ad in each category that pertains to the new business, new product, or services. List the garage sales or yard sales joining is free, buyers never pay to buy this can be the best market place for an Internet business.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Look for honest brokers/agents who have great work ethics and pay thier bills. Oh if this makes you feel like I am writing about you I would bet you need to change your ways. Open your eyes and make the changes real pros working together as a group already know the change has started.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My sister&amp;nbsp;arriving in a few weeks to visit has me motivated to do some redecorating.&amp;nbsp;I've decided to&amp;nbsp;repaint my guest room and buy a few new&amp;nbsp;items for the room.&amp;nbsp; Trying to keep on a budget for this project&amp;nbsp;I've been searching the&amp;nbsp;internet for items and ideas.&amp;nbsp; So many places to look and what a variety of items you can find&amp;nbsp;online at your fingertips.&amp;nbsp; I came across a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iwannatrade.com/detail.asp?id=87&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Victorian Wood &quot;Hope Chest&quot; Cabinet &lt;/a&gt;on the site &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iwannatrade.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;www.iWannaTrade.com&lt;/a&gt; at a reasonable price.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Hand painted florals in the treasured colonial tole tradition lend enchanting old-fashioned beauty to this graceful &quot;hope chest&quot; cabinet.&amp;nbsp; The footed chest features a spacious storage compartment which is felt lined and will make a very nice place to store away keepsakes.&amp;nbsp; The room is coming together nicely and only needs a few more accent pieces that I'm hoping&amp;nbsp;to find at the local yard sales this weekend...if only they would list their items on the classified and auction sites like iWannaTrade...&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Don't Understand Why More Of The Real Estate Services Have Not Moved Forward</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Don't Understand Why More Of The Real Estate Services Have Not Moved Forward&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Boy as tough as it is to find customers I have a hard time when only a few have taken advantage of free places to list properties and services. I have been offering my site- A One Of A Kind- to all the industry and a select few have jumped on the ban wagon. One southern california real estate expert said to me even with the cost of my ads he does not understand why ALL real estate services are not listing ads on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iwannatrade.com&quot;&gt;www.iwannatrade.com&lt;/a&gt; it only takes a little time and the banks would love to see more places and more effort to rid of those dreaded foreclosed properties.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So this blog is a question to All real estate services WHY NOT? ---Its free or low cost&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And&amp;nbsp;try not&amp;nbsp;to come up with the answer &quot;I am toooooo busy&quot; What to busy to do your business/job? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Spring Ahead Of Your Competition Use All The Resorces That Are Avalible To You by Jon Varley founder of www.iwannatrade.com</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Spring Ahead Of Your Competition Use All The Resorces That Are Avalible To You by Jon Varley founder of&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iwannatrade.com&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;www.iwannatrade.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you using everything avalible?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you easy to find on the internet?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you using every free classified you can find?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are&amp;nbsp;you investing back into your business?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are&amp;nbsp;you using all the low cost advertisements around?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you changing the way you do business?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you finding some people just seem to be just fine as you are stressed out?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you finding it hard to pay for newspaper tv radio ads?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are You getting tired of working all day and not selling products or services?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you looking for other work?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you just trying to get through this year?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you trying those get rich things offered?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you seeing the need for people to come together and work to keep people working?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you out talking to others about the hard times?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I can go on about the question &quot;Are You&quot; but you get the point!&amp;nbsp;We have seen the layoff notices for about all business. I want to see places from the teachers&amp;nbsp;to walmart to taco bell and all the rest get together and work on a plan within each business to keep as many people working by a cut back across the board. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;An example:&amp;nbsp;Teachers don't&amp;nbsp;need crowded classrooms, more kids in every class do to layoffs they need to&amp;nbsp;make the necessary cut in everyones pay including all employees. Do a percentage cut across the board so it is fair. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which is better? All&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;teachers working&amp;nbsp;for less? or A select few working with crowded classrooms&amp;nbsp; while other make nothing at all?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Another example: Lenders should allow the renters who pay rent&amp;nbsp;to stay in the repo's/bankowned properties this would keep the cash flow and create jobs for the real estate industry, agent could be paid a small fee for collecting rent and manage properties.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I support the idea of all of us working on the idea of helping keep as many jobs as possible and it will take everybody to make this work. If&amp;nbsp;the actors/hollywood&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;make some cuts then the tickets to go to the movies should drop and people can afford them. That brings us back to the question:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which is better?&amp;nbsp; Everybody going to the movies for less? Or a select few going to the movies leaving seats open that could be filled by working together.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;With this approch it will work-Hmmm Maybe!--------- Come Together Right Now!!&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Teachers Who Teach Do Touch Our Kids!! A Great Story </title>
      <description>&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;I have some of my old students who still get in touch with me from time to time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;One day a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room&lt;br /&gt;on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of &lt;br /&gt;their classmates and write it down. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as &lt;br /&gt;the students left the room, each one handed in the papers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate &lt;br /&gt;sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that &lt;br /&gt;individual.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class &lt;br /&gt;was smiling. &quot;Really?&quot; she heard whispered. &quot;I never knew that I meant &lt;br /&gt;anything to anyone!&quot; and, &quot;I didn't know others liked me so much,&quot; were most &lt;br /&gt;of the comments. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She never knew if they&lt;br /&gt;discussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn't matter. The &lt;br /&gt;exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students were happy with &lt;br /&gt;themselves and one another. That group of students moved on.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Several years later, one of the students was killed in Viet &lt;br /&gt;Nam and his teacher attended the funeral of that &lt;br /&gt;special student. She had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin &lt;br /&gt;before. He looked so handsome, so mature.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;The church was packed with his friends. One by one those who loved him took a &lt;br /&gt;last walk by the coffin. The teacher was the last one to bless the coffin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;As she stood there, one of the soldiers who acted as pallbearer came up to her. &lt;br /&gt;&quot;Were you Mark's math teacher?&quot; he asked. She nodded: &quot;yes.&quot; Then he said: &lt;br /&gt;&quot;Mark talked about you a lot.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;After the funeral, most of Mark's former classmates went together to a luncheon. &lt;br /&gt;Mark's mother and father were there, obviously waiting to speak with his teacher. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&quot;We want to show you something,&quot; his father said, taking a wallet out of his &lt;br /&gt;pocket &quot;They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might &lt;br /&gt;recognize it.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that &lt;br /&gt;had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times. The teacher knew &lt;br /&gt;without looking that the papers were the ones on which she had listed all &lt;br /&gt;the good things each of Mark's classmates had said about him. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&quot;Thank &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;you so much for doing that,&quot; Mark's mother said. &quot;As you can see, Mark &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;treasured it.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;All of Mark's former classmates started to gather around. Charlie smiled rather &lt;br /&gt;sheepishly and said, &quot;I still have my list. It's in the top drawer of my &lt;br /&gt;desk at home.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Chuck's wife said, &quot;Chuck asked me to put his in our wedding album.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&quot;I have mine too,&quot; Marilyn said. &quot;It's in my diary&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocketbook, took out her wallet &lt;br /&gt;and showed her worn and frazzled list to the group. &quot;I carry this with me at &lt;br /&gt;all times,&quot; Vicki said and without batting an eyelash, she continued: &quot;I &lt;br /&gt;think we all saved our lists&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;That's when the teacher finally sat down and cried. She cried for Mark and for all &lt;br /&gt;his friends who would never see him again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;The density of people in society is so thick that we forget that life will end &lt;br /&gt;one day. And we don't know when that one day will be.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;So please, tell the people you love and care for, that they are special and &lt;br /&gt;important. Tell them, before it is too late.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;And One Way&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt; To Accomplish This Is: Forward this message on. If you do not send &lt;br /&gt;it, you will have, once again passed up the wonderful opportunity to do &lt;br /&gt;something nice and beautiful.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Spring Cleaning - Turn Useless into Useful&#8207;</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Spring Cleaning - Turn Useless into Useful&amp;rlm;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It's that time of year again - time for Spring cleaning.&amp;nbsp; As the weather is getting much warmer and the days longer, I am getting more motivated to get more done around the house and yard.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Inside so much seems to have accumulated over the winter.&amp;nbsp; It's time to sort, trade, giveaway, or sell all the &quot;treasures&quot; that are sitting in the garage, stacked in a corner, cluttering the closets, or collecting dust in the attic and basement.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Take it &quot;One Room at a Time&quot; - no sense in getting overwhelmed by the yearly chore ahead of you.&amp;nbsp; Start by sorting through the drawers and closets.&amp;nbsp; If it's not been used or worn in over a year and is not of extreme sentimental value to you, it really needs to go.&amp;nbsp; As someone who likes auctions and yard sales, I look at it like this.&amp;nbsp; If I get rid of what I don't need and use I can make room for all the new treasures I am going to find this summer - such a happy thought.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;What can you do with all these items that you have sorted through and just can't throw them away because they are still useable?&amp;nbsp; Donate some things to Goodwill, the Salvation Army, or your local thrift stores, have a yard sale, post the items on websites such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iwannatrade.com/&quot;&gt;www.iWannaTrade.com&lt;/a&gt; that offer free classifieds and auctions, and of course recycle if possible.&lt;br /&gt;You will be surprised to see how many people are interested in all the things you no longer have a use for.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>March is National Craft Month - Share your craft skills with a friend, your neighbor, or a family member.</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;March is National Craft Month - Share your craft skills with a friend, your neighbor, or a family member.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Growing up I learned to crochet, knit and sew&amp;nbsp;from my grandmother&amp;nbsp;and mother.&amp;nbsp; I carried this tradition on with my family.&amp;nbsp; I taught my daughter to crochet and my niece is now interested also.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Craft supplies were always available at our house and creativity was encouraged.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Encourage your children by keeping crayons, paints, drawing paper, and other craft supplies available and accessible.&amp;nbsp; My favorite activity when my children were younger was to line my kitchen wall with newspaper rolls that were available from my mom's work.&amp;nbsp; My children and their friends would spend a lot of time drawing on those papers.&amp;nbsp; They couldn't seem to come into the kitchen without picking up a crayon and drawing.&amp;nbsp; When the paper was full, we would just replace it with new sheets.&amp;nbsp;I think the greatest&amp;nbsp;thing&amp;nbsp;now is the chalkboard paint.&amp;nbsp; Purchase the craft kits for children such as woodworking, candle making, jewelry/beading, etc.&amp;nbsp; These encourage them to&amp;nbsp;explore all the different crafts to find&amp;nbsp;what they enjoy.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Not only is crafting a way of relaxing, but also it can be a source of extra income.&amp;nbsp; Sell your finished products at craft fairs, yard sales, flea markets, or online at websites such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iwannatrade.com/&quot;&gt;http://www.iwannatrade.com/&lt;/a&gt; who offer free classifieds, free trades, and flat rate auctions.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;To learn more about National Craft Month, visit your local craft retailer.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>How Long Will This Mess Last?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yes the 90's all over again but hit much harder!!&lt;/strong&gt; And still people think only a couple of years and this will be all over! I question the ones who have been through the last mess, how they figure this will be over this year or next. Just think it took all those years to get the US in a trillion dollar dept. And over nite we are now 2 trillion in dept. Sounds like we have a lot of work ahead of us. What do you think?&lt;br /&gt;I am trying to do my part I bring to you &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iwannatrade.com/&quot;&gt;www.iwannatrade.com &lt;/a&gt;a place that you can choose how you want to buy, sell, trade, auction your products and services to make ends meet!!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Bank Repo&#8217;s Are They The Best Buys? Somethings To Consider</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bank Repo's Are They The Best Buys? Somethings To Consider&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I have seen hundreds of bank repos sold, then shortly there after the house next door goes up fo sale at a better price. Some due to job loss, some due to health, some just to move away. No matter what it is the question is: Are bank repo's the best buys? Bank owned properties some times go to auction. They are sold-well they get bids and we are told they are sold, but the bank does not except the bids! you know the ones then the realtor gets it back and starts over most of the time the listing price is less.&amp;nbsp;As I watch all this mess going on&amp;nbsp;questions like, is this the best time to buy?, are the banks going to ease up on loaning money? With so many houses on the market how come some banks are still funding new housing projects?&amp;nbsp;Will the money we are giving to the banks end up helping people who need help? Are realtors doing all they can? Are banks doing all they can? Are the cities, county, states doing all they can? Why are the renters booted out of houses when they were paying rent it's not thier fault the home owner was not paying the banks? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It is time for family and friends to work together. You have seen how hard it is to get a few people to agree on what to do!&amp;nbsp;Think of how hard it's going to be to get nations around the world to agree on the hows and whats we need to do. I don't have the answers but I do know we all need to work this out as a team. No one single act will fix this.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My plug, my part, list your properties&amp;nbsp; other items in a place you can get the most out of your sale &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iwannatrade.com/&quot;&gt;www.iwannatrade.com&lt;/a&gt; built for you.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>We Still Need to Make Some Cuts-Tighten Up The Belts-Stop Putting Money In Just To Keep Up The Hours!-EVERBODY MUST MAKE CHANGES!!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We Still Need to Make Some Cuts-Tighten Up The Belts&lt;/strong&gt;-Stop Putting Money In Just To Keep Up The Hours! EVERBODY MUST MAKE CHANGES!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For this to work we can not just put money in! We need to change some ways business is done&lt;/strong&gt;. Look at it this way, layoffs or cut some wages and hours back. From the top CEO's to the floor sweeper if we want to get back to the way it was, and the way we want it to be,&amp;nbsp;then change now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ok-Great the stimulus package passed, California has a Plan, other states are gearing up to apply the money out of the stimulus package.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But the first thing they said is we now can keep the state workers layoffs from hap&lt;/strong&gt;pening. Lets all take a little less vs some having nothing at all!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Does this mean the other folks who have already lost thier jobs get jobs back or what?&lt;/strong&gt; Some work vs no work!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can people who want to go on strike now hold off till the swing is upward?&lt;/strong&gt; Wait till the pot has something in it before asking for more!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The CEO's should not get any perks till they pay back the money we loan them!&lt;/strong&gt; All the CEOs should be offering this or retire!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can we stop making the multi million dollar deals for a single player/actor?&lt;/strong&gt; This one hurts those who have lost a job or a house and can't even buy a ticket to a ball game or a movie!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;Bill Clinton&quot; we want the truth from Obama,&lt;/strong&gt; You Said he should tell us about a brighter future&amp;nbsp;out of&amp;nbsp;one side of your mouth and the other said &quot;I like the fact that he didn't come in and give us a bunch of happy talk.&quot; We all know it will get better someday. What have you done? Do you still charge thousands for a talk? Are you making millions and giving back to the people or just keeping the cash?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Obama may just be the brighter future!&lt;/strong&gt; Time will tell.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The news media didn't cause the problems but people sure blame them like they did!&lt;/strong&gt; Yes they could present it better, but an apple is an apple no matter how you say it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Goes Around Comes Around!&lt;/strong&gt; Let's all get together agree doing something is better than doing nothing at all!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I just want everybody to open up and look around, think, and most of all Do It For Us.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
