bentonville arkansas real estate: Going over 300,000 - 09/26/11 12:10 AM
 
Going over 300,000
Well Sunday was the day when I officially went over the 300,000 mark.  Funny I thought about bells and whistles going off and confetti dropping down from the ceiling.  So far nothing has happened but I’m a patient kind of guy so I’ll wait a little longer.  No nothing yet so I guess I’ll just keep on going.  By the way crossing over the 300,000 mark makes me number two in the State of Arkansas but I haven’t heard from the Governor so I guess other than for me it doesn’t mean that much.  Enjoy your day … (24 comments)

Three retirees, each with a hearing loss but will not admit it, were playing golf here in beautiful NW Arkansas.  One remarked to the other, “Windy, isn’t it?”  “No, the second man replied its Thursday...the third man hearing this (you did catch hearing didn’t you) said “So am I.  Let’s go get a beer.”  Enjoy your day

bentonville arkansas real estate: 911 Call - 09/21/11 11:18 PM
 
An elderly Arkansas woman called 911 on her cell phone to report her car had been broken into.  She was hysterical as she explained her situation to the dispatcher.  They’ve taken the steering wheel, the brake pedal, the stereo and the gear shifter.  The dispatcher reassured her to stay calm an officer would soon be there.  A few minutes later, the officer radios in “Disregard.”   He says. 
Are you ready?

bentonville arkansas real estate: Gladly Living As A Difference Maker - 09/20/11 11:18 PM
 
Gladly Living As A Difference Maker
With the Sunday service the lead pastor usually starts out with “You notice our outline is Gladly Living As A Difference Maker would you say that with me please?”  That got me to thinking about our profession and how that phrase relates to us.  Are we not gladly living as a difference maker to the clients we serve?  If it’s the sellers or buyers or both we as agents make a difference to them if it’s selling the home or helping the buyers buy their home.  I for one am gladly living as a … (6 comments)

bentonville arkansas real estate: Ever "malleable" someone? - 09/18/11 11:15 PM
 
Ever “malleable” someone?
Sure you have and you continue to do this each and every day.  I bet ya do this and not think about the meaning of this word.  So at the end of this post I look forward to your comments and how you do this.  So for the meaning of (mal’ e bel) capable of being changed, molded, trained, etc.  Do you not mold your children or other in which you have an interaction?  For those of you who were teachers, brokers etc. you teach train your agents and your agents teach their clients about buying or … (5 comments)

bentonville arkansas real estate: HEMP - 09/17/11 12:57 AM
 
By now most everyone knows that word and what it means.  If you are in possession of this plant you know you’re in trouble but do you realize at one time this was perfectly legal?  At one time hemp was used to make and in some cases still is used to make ropes.  If you take an old rope and cut a small piece of it up and burn it you will know what marijuana smells like.  It has a distinctive smell that one won’t forget soon.  Now for the meaning of (hemp) a tall Asiatic herb grown for the … (17 comments)

bentonville arkansas real estate: Grace-less - 09/15/11 11:54 PM
 
Well I bet your wondering why I chose such a interesting word and where am I about to take you with this ride.  I usually take this time and write about some things and save the meaning towards the last but not today.  The meaning of (gras’lis) is lacking any sense of what is right or proper.  Now how can one better describe the Congress and President?  I can throw in the Supreme Court also.  They took an oath to uphold the Constitution but they make a mockery of it.  I often wonder if we keep heading in that direction … (5 comments)

bentonville arkansas real estate: New Florida Law - 09/14/11 11:53 PM
 I-95 will be jammed for the next month or so........Druggies and deadbeats heading north out of Florida...    Florida is the first state - Hooray for Florida!!!!    Florida is the first state requiring drug testing to receive welfare! In signing the new law,    Republican Gov. Rick Scott said, "If Floridians want welfare, they better make sure they are drug-free.    Applicants who test positive for illicit substances won't be eligible for the funds for a year, or until they undergo treatment.  Also they pay for the test.  If they pass the State will pay them back if they don’t … (16 comments)

bentonville arkansas real estate: Have you helped someone to a new “ecesis”? - 09/10/11 11:43 PM
 
Of course you have.  I have several times and it feels good to help someone so they can do this.  The question I have for you is:  have you kept up with the number of times you’ve done this?  I haven’t and I wish I had.  I guess you would like to have the meaning of (e se’sis) and it is: the successful establishment of a plant or animal in a new locality.  Of course the animal is the human being and the new locality is the new home that you helped them with.  I just love to find new … (10 comments)

bentonville arkansas real estate: Have you ever seen an agent with “boule”? - 09/09/11 11:24 PM
 
Have you ever seen an agent with “boule”?
OK enough of the one liners and jokes for at least one day I’ll go back to “Wordsmith” and see if I can pull it off.  Now I have seen them and I’m sure you have also.  The question is what to do with those agents who possess this problem.  I think now would be a good time to tell you the meaning of (boo’le) to throw oneself in spirit into some effort.  How many agents are gung ho at the beginning of the day or when a new or improved way … (10 comments)

bentonville arkansas real estate: Golf Lesson - 09/08/11 11:19 PM
 
I’ve been teaching my grandson about golf.  I think I have him hooked as now he wants to join the high school golf team.  The other day he took my driver out in the backyard to hit a few old golf balls into the trees.  I was watching him as he drew the club back and hit a couple that would rival some pro golfers.  As he set up the last one he drew the club back and hit the ball.  I was looking for the ball to go sailing out into the tree line but instead I saw the … (10 comments)

I would rather herd a bunch of ostriches drunk on whacky weed tan try and get a 15 year old to bed.
OK I think I just blew my back out my grandbaby wanted to know how to skip rope so have you ever seen a 62 year old man skip rope?  It’s not a pretty site.
Yahoo is my home page, but I’m reconsidering.  I swear that the “news” headlines get more insane every day.  The latest? “Why Jennifer Anniston wears the same biking”.  Now if Brad Pitt wore a biking, THAT would be real news

bentonville arkansas real estate: Observation - 09/05/11 01:42 AM
 
 
Observation???
OK here is the story line and I’m sure you’ll figure out the rest of the story before I get there.  Several months ago as I was driving the family truck a Tyson tractor-trailer rig rounded a corner and needless to say a rock flew up and cracked the windshield.  It just wasn’t a minor hit it was a major one.  The wife complained about it for months and Monday I took the vehicle and had the windshield replaced.  I met her at her mother’s place and exchanged vehicles. 
I drove the car home and waited in … (11 comments)

bentonville arkansas real estate: Thoughts 7 - 09/01/11 11:23 PM
 
The teenager was gone tonight. Susan and I were alone for the first time in days. So we turned down the lights, lit a candle and snuggled up on the couch..to watch Wheel of Fortune by candlelight.
 
I've figured out a way to incorporate the dreaded exercise into my morning routine. I gargle after brushing with Listerine Total Care. It is so blazing hot I immediately run around the house like a cat that's had kerosene and an ignited match applied to its backside.

Mrs. Right???
 
 
OK as the story goes the couple had been married around 10 years when they went in to see the counselor.  The woman was asked what the problem was and she said there was no problem that everything was just fine.  The counselor asked the husband what the problem was.  He said “I married Miss Right”.  To that the counselor said “You knew that when you married her”.  He replied “Yes I did but I didn’t know”…  Are you ready?

Subject: Fwd: : Cowboy named Bubba
 
Had to change this up a bit to avoid copying someone else’s material.  Hope you enjoy
 
A cowboy named Bubba was overseeing his herd, in a remote mountainous pasture in  California, when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust. The driver, a young man in a fitted suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan sunglasses and YSL tie, leaned out the window and asked the cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, Will you give me a calf?"    … (9 comments)

Thoughts 4
I've anxiously awaited the publishing of Mark Twain's autobiography. I'm so disappointed. It weighs not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 very heavy pounds. 500,000 words and this is only volume 1 of 3. Needless to say I can't snuggle up in bed or sit in a cozy chair by the fire with it. I practically need help just to lift it. I'm thinking this thing needed some serious editing

Real thoughtful thoughts
A football practice was delayed nearly two hours today after a player reported finding an unknown white powdery substance on the practice field.  The head coach immediately suspended practice while police were called to investigate. After a complete analysis, experts determined that the white substance unknown to players was the GOAL LINE. Practice was resumed after special agents decided the team was unlikely to encounter the substance again

Golf, clothes and Satin
As the story goes there was this couple who was having a hard time with money.  So they sat down and the husband loved golf and the wife loved clothes.  So they agreed to the following: for one month the husband would not play golf and the wife would not buy clothes.  The first week went well and so did the second.  By the end of the third week the wife bought a dress.  Once the husband came home she admitted to what she had done.  The husband was not very happy and told the wife … (9 comments)
