Last Week's Favorites: March 4th-11th

By
Real Estate Agent with RLAH@Properties AB95346

Last week, there was a lot of good blogging on Active Rain, and here are some of my favorites:

1.  Nick & Trudy Vandekar:  Why you won't buy what you want...exactly.  I'm forwarding this to all of my faovrite buyers this morning!

2.  Michael Bolton:  How To Measure A Finished Attic Area:The Fannie Mae 5' Rule (Fact or Myth) I never knew this!

3.  William Johnson:  Sunrise, Sunset, Swiftly Flow the Days  William is one of my favorite photographers in the rain. See why!

4.  Connie Harvey:  Oreo Turns 100 Today!  Makes me want to start singing Happy Birthday to my favorite cookies.

5.  Richard Weisser:  Real Estate is local. But it is absolutely dependent on the local economy.  This one is so true.

6.  Kristen Wheatley:  You're Taking The Furnace? Really?!?  This is in the hear something new every week category.

7.  Alan May:  the Legions? (did he say Lesions?)  All of us geezer agents will adore this one!  It spoke to me.

8.  Gwen Banta:  "Price just droppings" - Do-Do and Don'ts on the MLS  As the AR typo queen, I love Gwen's blooper posts.

9.  Gene Mundt: I Promise to Love, Cherish ... and Pay My Bills??  This is for all of the couples buing in sin!

And 10.  Kathleen Daniels:  Friday Funny - Heaven and Hell!!  I know that joke posts don't get no repsect on Active Rain, but this one was pretty darned funny.

So that's it for this week.  I'll be back, same time, same place, next Sunday.  Blog on!

I'll check them all out.  But, in my humble opinion, Gwen Banta never gets credit for those great posts.  And, she makes the errors hilarious.  Thanks, Pat.

Hi Pat--how did I ever miss the blog about Oreos turning 100?  They are my favorite cookie.  Thanks, as always, for compiling such a great list each week.
