What I Learned This Week At ActiveRain  August 13- August 19, 2017.

 

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, something about Real Estate, about a place or person!  Or it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice!

Dan's post made me think about the times I've cried and why. And what we say to someone when they are.

hella rothwellHella M. Rothwell Personal, Not About Real Estate

One of the benefits of some of our monthly contests or challenges, such as the one hosted by Jim Cheney  this month, is that we get to learn more about the member. I wonder how many of us still has that friend from a lifetime ago.

You can learn a lot from our home inspectors here. If you haven't met Jay and Might Mo, then now's a good time. THIS is why you need an experienced inspector.

I got to read two and was about to start on the rest when I received word that Horatio can go the shelter in Elk Grove, so I have to take him there now. It's really hard. But at least I know he'll have a shot at another home, hopefully a home without cats.

You do such a good job combing the blog roll and finding posts I have missed. The last few months there are many I am missing as work is taking more and more time.
