Here are 10 posts that taught me something or made me smile - usually both!  
How will I pay my buyer agent, I've barely enough for a down payment? - Nick Vandekar  This is a good read during this time when so many of us are putting together new scripts for buyer clients on this very subject!
STAY AWAY - Peter Mohylsky -If only walls could talk! Well, as Peter points out they often do. But what they say to buyers may not be the sort of message that the sellers think they are sending! And today's buyers are often imagination impaired.

As I sat down to write this post, I realized that I hadn't saved the page where I had all of my links for my favorite posts last week.  Oops!  But my memory is still good enough to remember the ones I liked and even loved.  So here goes:
Nick Vandekar: A tribute to the dogs and rescue searchers of 9/11  Every year, I sit down to read to 9/11 posts with a hanky nearby.  When I got to Vik's I needed it.  If you love dogs like I do, you'll need a hanky, too.

OK, so it's not Sunday morning.  I'ts quite late Sunday night.  But I had to make a choice between blogging and real estate, and I'm afraid that real estate won.  Well, perhaps this will make it tie.  Here are some favorites that I read this week:
Kat Palmiotti: Overweight young adults: more exercise needed!  They really do.  And Kat spells it out very well.
Scott Godzyk:  HOW many Homes should I see before making an offer on one?  Read Scott to find out.
Norman Padula:  Sunday Ramblings and Meanderings with Sandy  This is  like a cool glass of the world's best … (34 comments)

Chris Ann Cleland:  If You Aren't Going to Manage Other Agents, Why Get a Broker's License  Good question, and great answers.

OK, somebody's trying to tell me something!  I'm starting this post for about the third, and now fourth time - it keeps vanishing from my computer screen.  Are the ActiveRain pixies out in Seattle telling me that this Sunday summary has been going on for too long?  I dunno.  I'll try again, I guess!  So here is the list:
Roger Mucci:  A little something, something from one of my favorite musicals. Now this will get your toes tapping!
Whitney Watson:  How To Sleep, Eat, and Dress When You're a Working Mom   You don't need children to learn from this - … (43 comments)

Last week, I had a little case of blogging fatigue.  But having said that, I just couldn't let a Sunday morning pass by without sharing some of my favorite bloggers from last week.  And you know what?  It was a lot harder to find these posts. There was a whole lot of really bad stuff I had to wade through.  Oh well! 
So here they are:
