bella vista arkansas real estate: Chi. Cane your clients and contracts. - 01/24/11 11:00 PM
So those of you with inquiry minds do you know the meaning of this word before I give you the meaning? You do this without thinking with your contracts and clients. Come on put your thinking caps on and give it a try. OK I have given you enough time if you haven’t figured it out by now the meaning of (shi kan’) to arrange, bring about. You do this when the buyer and seller agree on a purchase price. Now go forth and conquer with the new word you learned today. … (6 comments)

bella vista arkansas real estate: We all have a “bilabial” - 01/23/11 10:16 PM
 
I read this in my Webster’s © and I laughed out loud even though there was no one in the house except for me and my dog.  No need to go trying to look it up I’ll tell you the meaning in a moment.  I just could not let this one go and pass it up.  I really like the ones my wife has as I want to get close to them whenever I can.  Now for the meaning of (bi la’be el) having two lips, we all have a upper and lower lip and I like my wife’s pressed … (6 comments)

bella vista arkansas real estate: Airplane - 01/23/11 03:40 AM
As the story goes a plane was on its flight from point a to point b. All was going well and then they received a notification on the panel the rear door was not shut properly. The pilot went to investigate and as he pushed on the door to make sure it was shut properly the door came open. All the bells and whistles went off and the plane dropped like 4,000 feet like a rock. The passengers were screaming and the oxygen masks dropped from their secure location. However they did not need it. The co-pilot asked for emergency landing … (9 comments)

bella vista arkansas real estate: Thank you Lenn Harley for giving me “sybaritic”. - 01/22/11 10:35 PM
Talk about a tough one this is it. I experience with when my wife gives me a hug and a kiss. This is actually a byword and the original was the name of a city in Italy. Since then it has had several meanings but this one is something we all crave. The byword (-rit’ik) meaning is extreme luxury and a seeking for pleasure and comfort. The best know anecdote of the Sybarites is their defeat in battle. For this post we will use the byword and may you experience sybaritic in your daily life. … (6 comments)

bella vista arkansas real estate: When looking at property to you find the “terminus”? - 01/21/11 10:54 PM
 
Well alright then when reading my Webster’s© and finding this word I looked at my study book from my classes.  No where could I find this word but we deal in this every day.  I thought it was interesting and therefore I posted it.  The meaning of (tur’me.nes) a boundary or limit, a boundary stone or marker.

bella vista arkansas real estate: I need to “remotion” some signs - 01/20/11 10:02 PM
 
Yes it even happens to me.  I need to remotion at least two of my signs.  I don’t like doing this but if you’re an agent you need to do this from time to time.  I know of some agents that do not do this.  They continue to let their signs stay in the same place.  So anyway I don’t want to get into trouble.  The meaning of (ri mo’shen) the act of removing.  I’m losing two listings this weekend and I need to remove the signs.

bella vista arkansas real estate: How old were you when you went “greening”? - 01/17/11 10:35 PM
 
I know I have some of you scratching your heads and wondering where this is going.  I must admit I was a late bloomer in some aspects and early in others.  This word has two meaning and I will give you both.  I am still growing in one of the meanings.  I do think that one never fully develops in the latter meaning.  The meaning of (gren’ in) becoming more mature and less naïve, esp. in one’s understanding of social and political forces.

bella vista arkansas real estate: I’ll never take my wife fishing again. - 01/16/11 10:29 PM
 
As the story goes a man loved to fish.  One day his wife asked to go and being the good natured man that he was they loaded up the next day and took off for the water.  It wasn’t long before the man knew he had made a big mistake.  His wife kept rocking the boat, would not be quite, could not find the bait and did not know how to tie the bait on.  But the real clincher was that she caught more fish than he did.  He went home humiliated and vowed never to take her fishing again.  … (11 comments)

bella vista arkansas real estate: Are you “esurient” for 2011? - 01/15/11 11:18 PM
 
I don’t know about you but I can assure you I am very much this.  Actually I’ve been this since I started real estate.  The issue is how I improve to accomplish this.  I want more of it and I am constantly looking for ways to get it done.  The meaning of (e soor’e ent) to be hungry voracious.  I want to get all I can and I’m sure you do to.

bella vista arkansas real estate: Are you a “chatelain” for your clients? - 01/13/11 10:40 PM
 
For those of you who try and find this on word I’ll save you the time and trouble.  Word does not recognize this word but Webster’s© does.  We as agents take on this responsibility when we show our clients the homes.  If we are the listing agent we also take on a certain amount of this responsibility.  The meaning of (shat’ l an) the keeper of a castle.

bella vista arkansas real estate: May real estate be “kicky” for you? - 01/09/11 10:35 PM
 
So tell me will you embrace this word or just read this post and move on never thinking of it again?  If you don’t remember anything else during this early part of the year should you forget why you’re in real estate write this one down and read it monthly or more often if needed.  The meaning of (kik’e) stimulating; exciting.  Real estate needs to be exciting so you can enjoy your work not dread it.

bella vista arkansas real estate: Are you “jussive”? - 01/08/11 10:27 PM
 
In my former workplace this was an everyday occurrence.  There are actually two different meanings to this word.  One we use to an extent and the other in law enforcement.  Let’s use the law enforcement one first.  The meaning of (jus’iv) to command to be in violent movement.  You had to command the situation or otherwise you would not be effective and therefore not last very long.  In real estate the other meaning would be expressing a command.  We I our contracts command certain thing for our clients.  We don’t always get them but they tell us what they want … (10 comments)

bella vista arkansas real estate: Have you ever had the feeling of “prescience”? - 12/27/10 10:28 PM
 
OK all you doubtful Thomas’s and I know you’re out there.  No disrespect to the name Thomas just a figure of speech.   Now back to the subject matter.  I have experienced this more than once and sometimes it brings chills up the old back (another figure of speech).  Anyway I would like to hear from those of you who have or have not had this experience.  The meaning of (presh’ ens)to know beforehand; an apparent knowledge of things before they happen.

bella vista arkansas real estate: “Pavane” after a closing!!! - 12/20/10 10:30 PM
You know I am amazed each time I open my Webster's© and start reading.  The book never ceases to amaze and educate me.  As a result I try and educate other agents and the public as I post a new word.  So at the end of a closing "pavane" but not in front of your clients or other agents cause sunshine they will think you're crazy.  Sorry almost forgot the meaning of (pe van') to strut, walk like a peacock.  So strut your stuff and have a good time.  Join wordsmith on Activerain.  Enjoy the day it may be your last.

bella vista arkansas real estate: May the “lemurs” stay away from your door? - 12/18/10 11:42 PM
Again this is one of those things I hope you never encounter.  While reading over my Webster's © I noticed this and thought most people if you read over it quick would associate with an animal.  Of course for those of you who read my posts know this would be too simple so now the meaning of (lem' yoo rez') evil, night walking spirits of the dead.  Enjoy your day it may be your last.  Join wordsmith on Activerain.

bella vista arkansas real estate: Everyone has a “pedant” what’s yours? - 11/30/10 11:30 PM
When I read the meaning of this word I started to make a list of the things I'm pedant about.  My hand cramped so I had to quit before I was done.  I have learned that when I practice this it keeps me out of trouble even though some people get irritated I will continue to do this so get over it.  The meaning of (ped' nt) a person who puts unnecessary stress on minor or trivial points of learning.  So tell me what's your pedant?  Join wordsmith on Activerain.

Tell me do you want more sales next year than this year?  Of course you do now the question is how you are going to achieve that.  Have you tried the things your agency is telling you to do?  If you have and nothing much is changing then I suggest you try this after you investigate them and find out which one would suit you best.  The meaning of (prot’ o plast’) a thing or being that is the first of its kind.  Be the first and brake away from the crowd and take a leadership role in your agency … (3 comments)

bella vista arkansas real estate: What do you see when you look into the “speculum”? - 11/19/10 11:24 PM
 
I know I see an ageless person.  Other people see different things but my mind is still in the age when I was 20-25 but my body is telling me another story.  I know I can’t keep up with the guys and gals as I once did.  I also know that all good things must come to an end but I don’t want to get off the ride yet.  The meaning of (spek’ yoo lem) a mirror, esp one of polished metal.  So tell me what is it you see in the mirror every morning?  Make it one of a … (3 comments)

bella vista arkansas real estate: Jessie - 11/09/10 10:16 PM
 
I have introduced Jessie to you awhile back.  My wife trained her to ring the bell located on the back door to go do her business.  Alas that’s a tragic thing.  She rings it to go get some rays, chase a squirrel, to check the temperature and sometimes I swear just for fun.  Maybe I can get her a job at the Salvation Army this Christmas as a bell ringer.  What do you think?
