I Learn Something New at ActiveRain Every Day and It's Time I Showed You.  January 13 to January 19, 2013.

I learn something new every day at ActiveRain!  With this series I try to highlight one post per day that gave me that “lightbulb” moment.  It could be something techie, about Real Estate, about a place or person!

Jon ZolskyJanuary 13:  Jon Zolsky   Happy Old New Year
It’ very easy to forget that we are not the only ones to celebrate Christmas or a New Year.  When I first read Jon’s title, I thought I’d had a senior moment and didn’t realize that it was a holiday today.  I’m glad we have a country that is made up of so many different people with different cultures, experiences and traditions from which we can learn.

Fernando HerbosoJanuary 14:  Fernando Herboso    A Life Changing Event on the Back Seat of a Taxicab!
If you haven’t read the entries of Kathleen Daniels’ Challenge, I urge you to do so.  As I said in my comment to Fernando’s post, even though I knew the outcome of his post, I was on the edge of my seat nevertheless.  For those of us fortunate enough to have been born here, would you... could you have moved to another country, away from your family and friends at a young age?   

Dana BasiliereJanuary 15: Dana Basiliere  IDA Recommends Dark Sky Friendly Lights
Having lived most of my life in a metropolitan area, I am like a child walking into FAO Schwarz when I am far enough away to see stars in the sky.   In Delray Beach and elsewhere along the coast, municipalities “turn off the lights” during turtle egg hatching season so the wee ones won’t be drawn to the lights and not the safety of the sea.  Read more about what you can do in Dana’s post.  

bryant TutasJanuary 16:  Bryant Tutas  Sorry But I Don’t Respond to Anonymous Emails.
After reading Bryant’s post I’ve gone back to check to see what my signature is when sending via my iPhone or iPad.  If you’re not sure if you ever changed from the default (sent from my iPhone) then be sure to read this.  

Lenn HarleyJanuary 17: Lenn Harley  Have You Given Up on Your New Year’s Resolution? Take Baby Steps.
I love the humor in this post (besides the picture from my favorite Leesburg carb-loaded place) but as Lenn points out not only do you have to do baby steps but have one more thing besides an “outcome resolution”.   Go to her post to see what that thing is.

Mike MuellerJanuary 18:  Mike Mueller    Your Facebook Apps Are Broken!
I’m always cautious about Facebook so I keep what I have very simple.  If you have some Apps on your business page that someone designed for you, you should read Mike’s post.  And, if you’re not familiar with Mike, who’s a Tech and Social Media Consultant,  I encourage you to visit his blog.

Jeff DowlerJanuary 19:  Jeff Dowler    The Cardiff Kook Run in Cardiff-by-the-Sea CA. Will Be Superbowl Sunday February 3, 2013
One thing I love about ActiveRain is learning about different cities, towns and communities around the U.S.   Take a look at this Kooky “Kook” and be sure to go to the website for more “kooky” photos.  

 

Debbie ReynoldsDebbie Reynolds  Endorse a Fellow ActiveRain Member
OK... this may not be an Ah-ha moment but as I’m assisting with this challenge, I wanted to get this out there for everyone.   And, the purpose is to help fellow AR members.  If you’ve been standing on the sidelines waiting to take on a contest or challenge.. jump in.  


Thank you for letting me do what I love to do each day... learn something new!

Hi Kathy - Thanks for the great pointers. I did a little better this week, having previously read four of them, but the others were very worthwhile.

Conrad- I know.. I love it “older than dirt.”  I don’t know her age but she’s every bit as active as some 30 year olds I know.

Gary- I thank you very much and am glad you enjoy the series.  Be sure to check Mike Mueller’s on Facebook apps.

Sheila- wow, you’ve been reading!  Enjoy the ones you missed.

Randy- Thank you very much for subscribing.  I hope you enjoy the posts for this week.  And be sure to head to Patricia Kennedy’s weekly series as well.

Sally & David- after I read Bryant Tutas’ post I’ve been trying to make sure I have the correct signature line coming from my iPhone.

Patricia- if I know you, you’ll love reading about Fernando’s entry into America.

Jared- I didn’t know that other countries celebrated New Years and Christmas at a different time because of the calendar they used.

Charles Stallions R.E. Services- I love reading Pat’s as well.  We always have a different list too.

Bobbie- we have the lights off at the beach during turtle nesting time but didn’t know Dark Friendly Sky lights.

Scott- thank you and enjoy your read.

David- good for you!  Hope you invited them because you know that if they join via your invitation you could get points headed your way.

Mary Kay- I don’t have any FB Apps that have been added  but if you do you might want to check out Mike’s post.

Fernando-your story read like a made-for-tv movie. I’m glad you made it here.

Barbara- I’m glad you like it.  I’ve been trying to check to make sure that my signature line from my iPhone is what it’s supposed to say.

Michael- then my day is made!!  There’s just so much here to read.

Kristin- I’m usually able to keep up each day but this week turned out to be kind of hectic.

BARFF- wasn’t that a weird thing about the FB group.  Did you change your password.

Kevin- I probably will this week because I’m not sure I set everything up correctly.

Jeffrey- I am happy to do the legwork. Glad you like it.

Sharon- i appreciate your feedback as always.  Even though I knew Fernando made it into the country, I was still sitting on the edge of my chair as I read his post.

Dick- Good!  There are many more that give me my “ah ha” moment each week but I try not to include posts that were featured unless I want to try to get it seen by more readers.

Alexandra- And I wish you the same.  Have already been to the Festival of the Ars in Delray and came home with something!  Now waiting for football!
