Just scrolled back through my 'tweets' on twitter and picked out a few that I liked. I guess that I should tell you that I've been on twitter for a few months and enjoy it. Like anything you have to participate in it to begin to see the value.

Without dropping any names, suffice it to say I've made some great friends via twitter that I wouldn't have met so soon by being an ActiveRainer only. It's just another tool in the 'social web' that seems to work. It also seems to be a rather professional and educated crowd on twitter and not loaded with alot of spam and teens.

If you're new to ActiveRain, or blogging, I'd recommend twitter to you. It is really simple to feed to twitter via ActiveRain and vice-versa, and your tweets can be posted to just about anywhere AUTOMATICALLY! In other words, it's easy! So, without further ado, my favorite tweets in no particular order (with commentary). And don't forget to 'follow me!'

LIFE

Wife and dau. have been out of town. Having pumpkin pie that I found left over from holidays for breakfast. I think I need them back today! (What's really important?)

Merry Christmas, y'all. Stuffed, content, happy and sleepy! (Nap time.)

I thought we had nothing to do this weekend and Merry Christmas! But, now here come the honey-do's. How can she always have so much to do? (Men are from mars...)

Trying too think of something good and uplifting and positive to say this morning... ah, the hell with it... (One of those days.)

Got a doggone sniffle today and little clogged up. If it's not gone by noon, I'm starting on Whiskey Sours! (Sickness is not allowed here.)

Oh Lord! Don' t tell me you're watching twitter on facebook! My wife's beginning to think I'm crazy with all of this stuff. (Warning, some significant others don't understand the object of social networking and consider it a waste of time.)

Working on taxes. I feel like Ray in Field of Dreams, "A stack of bills to choke a pig and no money!" (Don't speak it, you might attract it. My bad!)

This has just bugged me all day! Does anyone besides the Superbowl use Roman Numerals? What the hell is XLIII? (This is the candid me that you'd be likely to hear around the house...TMI?)

Guys, if you act like you're not too happy about running around shopping with your lady, she'll offer to buy you lunch! (We may as well work it likey they do, guys!)

BUSINESS

Had to delete the ActiveRain post due to technical difficulties, the photos not available to be stolen! I'll try to do better next time! (Honesty is always the best policy.)

Just wrote nice offer on a really nice home in Irmo, SC. (Accomplishment feels good!)

Elevator speak: "Hi, I'm Charlie. I sell real estate in Columbia and cover all the areas including Lake Murray!" How'd I do? (Was praised by a university social networking professor for this one, so it became my 'blog description.')

Decided to 'unsubscribe' from every useless overtly spam, irritating e-mail, but it takes too long to fight 'em. Anyone need viagra? (We all fight the same battle on this - spam I mean.)

Have a great day, y'all. Out and about selling greater Columbia, SC! Great area to retire if you want only 40 cold days and 1 snow a year. (Localism!)

I'm gonna cause business to happen this weekend for all of us! See how much I love y'all. Playing golf. Phone will ring like magic! (Public service from your favorite agent.)

Back to basics. Met a corporate trainer purchasing a copy of How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie for a lecture. (True.)

FUN

Eagles Rocked, Joe Walsh Rolled! In Greenville SC Monday night. Unbelievable band! Gotta say the best ever! Like fine wine, better aged. (Text twitter from The Bi-Lo center immediately after the concert. Great memories!)

WYFF sports reported that multiple sources said C.J. Spiller was leaning towards leaving Clemson for the NFL draft. Say it ain't so, C.J.! ( Don't believe everything you hear!)

Clemson running back C.J. Spiller, "Lightning," said he will stay in school for his senior year! Godspeed, C.J. & thanks for staying home! (Already ready for football, and the TV report was wrong!)

Got my name changed from HardenCharlie to CharlieHarden... makes sense~! (See how sensible I can be?)

A 'best friend' couple of ours became grandparents last night for the first time! Healthy granddaughter Morgan Colley - 6 pounds, 9 ounces! (Awwww...)

Golf tip for this chilly week: Keep your balls warm. Serious, keep 'em in the house or pocket til you hit them. Warm balls go further~! (Nevermind!)

Thanks for the warnings... I got a couple from 'you' yesterday. Didn't open them. Those people should be shot! (Warning, don't send me a virus!)

January in SC. Supposed to be 76 today! (And this week, too.)

People still shopping. I couldn't get to the sporting goods store yesterday. What are THEY thinking? (Get outta my way~!)

Great to hear Pat Summerall calling the Cotton Bowl. Ole Miss 14, Texas Tech 14, 1st half. (His book is hilarious, by the way. Summerall On and Off the Air)

POLITICS

@malisiaWe need a nickname for your guy. Remember Bananarama? How 'bout Obackaramba? "O" would be a rip-off of "W." (Hey unscramble the letters and you get Barak Obama. I thought it was pretty clever.)

Who's gonna stand up and say these cabinet nominees that didn't pay taxes are no better than CROOKS! And ELECTED? OFFICIALS? Come on! (Telling it like it is.)

$13.4 billion to troubled U.S. automakers. Why doesn't the Govt. just buy their cars and then resell them to get the (our) money back? (Political commentary.)

Gov. Blago's explanation will be like watching a guy try to explain to his wife why his underwear is full of glitter. (Well, the RNC liked it.)
