What I Learned This Week At ActiveRain- October 6  to October 12, 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!

Noah SeidenbergOctober 6:  Noah Seidenberg    Don’t You Hate It When Part 3

I love theseand what I learn is that others are pretty much bothered by the same things that bother me.   We’re all in this together!

 

 

 

Marte CliffOctober 7:   Marte Cliff    Real Estate Marketing Grammar and Word Choices: Effect vs Affect.

These two words are another set that stump meand they  may stump you as well.  You can count on Marte to set us straight.

 

 

Pam cendejasOctober 8:  Pamela Cendejas   Thinking Too Much Can Hurt You!  Slow Down and Get More Done.

I know that there are nights when my body says “go to sleep” but the mind is wide awake.  You’ve been there, I know it.  Try these ideas from Pamela.

 

 

Lenn HarleyOctober 9:  Lenn Harley   Attribution is NOT Permission.. Copyright Continued

Lenn’s post was featuredbut I want to make sure it is seen and read.  I always do learn something new from her about copyright no matter how many times she writes about it.  Read and take heed.

 

 

Liz and Bill SpearOctober 10:  Liz and Bill Spear My Smartphone Was Stupid.

Well, let’s just say it was incommunicado.  But look what we got to see and learn about.  Not just the beautiful trees in W. Virginia, but a little something I never knew was there.

 

 

 

kristin johnstonKristin Johnston   Who Knew… Pears!

Well I can tell you that I didn’t!  This is the time for them and the pear chips sound pretty good!

 

 

 

Anna Banana KruchtenOctober 11:  Anna Banana Kruchten   Halloween Costume Ideas Needed by Two Bananas

Ok, I’m not sure how much I learned with this one other than the fact that we all have bananas on our minds!  Give Anna your Banana Halloween Costume suggestion and then Anna, we will expect photos from the party!!!!!

 

 

Brigita McKelvieBrigita McKelvie   Horsey Friday Fun Facts.  Horse Haircuts.

Who knew?   Horses are beautifuland I can see why.  They get haircuts just like the rest of us.  Want to know why?  Read on….

 

 

 


gail RobinsonOctober 12:   Gail Robinson      Send a Card to Karen Anne Stone

Karen Anne was one of the first AR members I started following when I joined ActiveRain.  She gives her own twist on subjects as well as comments that I appreciate.  Let’s show her the power of ActiveRain.  Please go to Gail Robinson’s post to learn more, and please, let’s take just a few minutes to send her a card.  



Please don’t forget to check out Pat Kennedy’s Weekly Favorites Post, Debbie Reynolds Saturday Subscriber Finds.

 

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

John- thank you!!  And, please, I hope you'll send Karen Anne a card.

Elise- things are really picking up, so be sure to catch Pat Kennedy's weekly posts too. 

Marge- thank you, and I greatly appreciate that. 

Sharon- you know you never have to apologize for not being here.  I always love your summary though and look forward to it (no pressure there, right!!!)

Joan- if you like pears, be sure to go to Kristin's post.

Gene- you could never be a broken record!  More like a welcomed friend.

Laura- I hope you'll visit some of these!  And, yes, it's fun to meet "new" bloggers.

Silvia- me too.  But I know Anna will come up with something just perfect.  And, yes, please let's all send Karen Anne some cards
