gary t coles: A Christmas Eve to Remember
- 12/24/11 12:34 PM
In a troubled world, sometimes miracles come to pass. One of these miracles took place in an unlikely setting - the Berlin Wall years ago on Christmas Eve. I found myself caught up in this miracle and it touched me and will be a wonderful memory for the rest of my life.
Here the story unfolds in the words of a beautiful girl who I met that night.
"Hours passed, the apartment grew smoky enough that windows had to be opened despite the swirling snow outside, what there was to be eaten had been eaten, what there was … (15 comments)

Milk - 1 3/4 cup - cold Sour Cream - 1 pint Fruit Pie Filling (your favorite flavor) extras -- something fun to add on top to decorate or … (24 comments)

gary t coles: The One That Got Away - She Took a Bite Out of My Sale
- 11/27/11 03:57 PM
Not only can big dogs take a bite out of crime -- they can definitely take a bite out of your sales. Years ago I had a great listing. Great price and in a popular neighborhood. My Sellers were wonderful. But they had two huge dogs. They were Pit Bulls. The sellers insisted on keeping the dogs in the house, but in their kennels so the house could be shown. The sellers said Crista was viscous and a little bit crazy. I think even they were a little bit afraid of Crista. They even locked her up when friends … (20 comments)

gary t coles: Happy Thanksgiving -- I hope You Enjoy an Authentic Mexican Meal Today - Turkey
- 11/24/11 05:28 AM
You may not have realized it but the domestic turkey originated in the Yucatán in Mexico. The Aztecs had domestic turkeys before the Spanish arrived. In fact the Spanish took turkeys to Europe and domestic turkeys even came back to the Americas with the Pilgrims. So today I am thankful to Mexico for our holiday birds. There are also a lot of other dishes that you may have on your holiday table that originated in Latin America. Some of them are: Sweet potatoes, corn, tomatoes, potatoes, avocados, pineapples and possibly pumpkins. I hope you and your family … (20 comments)
gary t coles: Don't Use Flickr for Real Estate
- 11/22/11 04:15 AM
How would you like to find your Flickr account deleted without even a warning? How could that happen? Do you use photos from Flickr in your posts? Do you keep your listing photos on Flickr? If you said yes to either question it could happen to you. Last week I read a featured post recommending the use of free photos from Flicker to make your posts better and increase your SEO. It is not a good idea. Here is what the TOS (terms of service) from Flickr says:

What are you going to ignore today that might keep you from doing the things you want to do? Too often we little little things stop us from doing the important things.

gary t coles: Your Password -- Driving You Crazy or Letting You Get Hacked?
- 11/20/11 03:34 PM
Passwords are one of those things we really need but they often drive us crazy. With today's technology you need good strong passwords but how do you remember them? If your password is really easy to remember -- is it easy to hack? Do you use a password management service to help remember all of them? Did you know that the service itself may get hacked? Last spring one of the best known services recommended by many ITs may have been hacked. Do you have your passwords on a flash drive or other device? What if you lose it? … (29 comments)
