Some mornings I get up and think to myself, "So many things to gripe about and so little time." Like, what's worse than getting a ton of emails back from people who say nothing more than "thank you?" Yup, 2 words. That's it. It's one thing to acknowledge receipt so the sender knows you got the em

My clicky finger is sore. On that joint where the knuckle is located. I bet if you slapped an Xray of my fingers up on a screen, Dr. House style, you'd see normal looking muscles in all of my other fingers except for my right-hand clicky finger. That muscle would be oversized, bulging and throbbi

How complacent have we become that when something doesn't work right, we just take it for granted? We say, OK, it's not working now but it will probably work later, and we go about our day doing something else. Sometimes, we might unplug an electronic component and plug it back in, or remove the

Maybe some agents are living under a rock and do not have access to MLS? I don't understand why some agents continually bombard me by sending spammy email flyers. Half the time there is no unsubscribe option. Isn't that breaking some law? They think nothing of sending a listing to other agents. C

If you're in Omaha today, you can hear me on the radio. I'm doing a show for T. J. Bell this morning about short sales. I haven't been to Omaha since 1990, as I was passing through on my way to Minnesota from California. As I recall, it has a wild nightlife due to the college kids, and I had a pr

I usually do not listen to the radio. In fact, I probably haven't listened to the radio since the mid-1990s. I mean why when you have CDs or an iPOD? But because I have only one CD slot in my new car and no place to really store CDs, I haven't messed around with the CD player. However, the radio

What the heck is wrong with some appraisers? Some doofus turned in an appraisal last week on a home in Elk Grove he knew was a short sale and he knew it was a HAFA short sale, preapproved for the HAFA program and the offer was accepted by Bank of America. Yet, what does he do? He turns in an appr

I guess the news of bin Ladin being killed also managed to kill our TV, which is 3 months out of warranty. It's a good thing it happened on my husband's watch because if it had happened to me, I would have chalked it up to my clueless operational methods. My idea of turning off the TV involves pu
