Thanks for sharing the info. Those 4 posts have some great information for all of us.

Oh my.....I'm going to have to add all these to my blog reading list....this seems to go on forever....can you spell viral marketing?

This information is really useful. I guess we need to encourage Todd Walter to share his comments here too as well.

Christine, thanks again for taking the time to do this post every week. It really is very helpful. I hope you are having a great day today.

Joshua took the approach of 'blogging for the people,' in his edition of the carnival. Those posts often fly under the radar in the RE blogging world.

Many Rainers were mentioned in his "honorable mention" section. Congrats to:

Maureen Francis, Caron Mosey, Thomas Ray, Mary McKnight, Jay Thompson, and in the words of the late great Richie Ashburn.."congrats to that...well...me"

(I know he was a Met, Christine but he'll always be a Phillie)

Cynthia - Enjoy the reading.. I just added more links.

Suzanne - Ohhh - it does not stop there..

Netta - we get alot of great bloggers here on AR - Todd should post a post or two here on AR.

Bryant - I am having a wonderful day.. how about you? I hope your hiliday off was great.. Now get your arse back to work..

Maureen - it is true. I try to stay local on my main blog. I talk about different things on AR than I do on my local one. SOMETIMES they paths do cross though - and that is ok. I liked that he kept it Real Estate.

Brian - thank you for the heads up. Got the rest of the links on there and congrats to you as well. Richie Ashburn played for Mets for one year the rest of his career he was a Phillie. He died in NY but.. he for the most part was a Philly.

Christine.... nice job on doing this and the mentions. And if you are a true NY fan... head on over to my series of blogs in regards to Philly. Sports, historic facts/sites, musuems, restaurants...etc etc.

Overall, I can only assume that you are a NY fan because of your statement?

Oh yea... Richie Asburn, he meant a lot to the Phillies. They even have Asburn Alley at the stadium.

Christine: I don't know what is more impressive abou you: you're knowledge of real estate or your knowledge of baseball. Whitey was the Mets' first all-star. He finished his career with them for the 1962 season.

"Hey NY Chic"

Always nice to touch down on the apple...:))

Congrats to all...And as alwasys we thank you so much for taking care of this every week!

I am going to be shopping this week. I have decided you need a present!

TLW "The Lovely Wife"...I Promise Not To Send You An Apple...ROAR!

Excellent selections. Taught me a thing or two. Nice to see there is a purist out there.

I believe ActiveRain is going to be hosting the Carnival the week after next. I don't see the hosts listed on the site anymore but I think we were signed up for the second week of Dec.

Thanks for the carnival post...

Matt...Are you going to post that? I hope so...TLW...ROAR!

Hi Matt - I checked my schedule and you are down for December 11th!

**Active Rain is down for hosting the December 11, 2006 Carnival**

Mary - I like that the Carnival is posting all the entry's. It makes for more reading, but some really great great posts - and aside from the posts the comments are so raw and great to read and view things from other people's eyes. I love that they are setting the winners in a separate post - but all the entries get recognized!

TLW- Mmmwwwwaahhh!

Brian - Yes "Put-Put" played his final year with the Mets with the almighty "The Gerbil" Don Zimmer.- but before he came to us he was on Chicago. He had a great year with the Mets. He died at 70 in NY. As all the Mets say "Next year WILL be the year.."

Still love my Yanks though....

Christine - Just when I think I have read most of the featured posts, you come along and throw in winners of a contest... :) I guess I have to jump over and check out what they have to say. Thanks... Knowledge is power.

Jason - Sorry! LOL. Knowledge is power! You got that right! Enjoy!
