arizona mls: Is there an MLS box to check for "Artsy Bungalow"? - 01/22/21 10:54 PM
Sometimes, accurate descriptions can be a bit subjective and there is not the right box to "check" when filling out the MLS listing for a REALTOR®. What is an "artsy bungalow" after all. If you saw one would you recognize it?
 
How about these other descriptions with no MLS box that is available. What do you think of when you read "craftsman styled home" or  "updated tub enclosure" or  "wood floors" or 'energy efficient clothes dryer"? What is a safety approved furnace and how do you imagine those descriptions?

arizona mls: What does "Auld Lang Syne" Mean? - 12/29/20 09:46 AM
What does "Auld Lang Syne" mean from the poem from Scottsman, Robert Burns back in 1788? Well in this unique year it may take on another meaning as we reflect back on the year just passed and also of happier times or "Days Gone By".
Illustration of Poem "Auld Lang Syne"
 
The poem's Scots title may be translated into standard English as "old long since" or, less literally, "long long ago", "days gone by", or "old times". Consequently, "For auld lang syne", as it appears in the first line of the chorus, might be loosely translated as "for the sake of old times"....(source) … (6 comments)
