loss: REGRETTING REGRET
- 05/06/21 11:53 AM
What is regret? Interesting as the definitions fit the different scenario as there is no general regret but instead specific. A missed opportunity? That would mean a failure to act promptly or at all. A poor choice? That remains normal for the life journey. Disappoitment? For who? You or the other person?
WHY REGRET?
It has been said that all we need to know is safely hidden within ourselves and the life journey via exploring and risk brings it to the surface. We also have skills bank, abilites and talents that when needed spring into life yours being custom to your circumstances. All … (5 comments)

loss: WE ARE ADDICTED TO LIBERTY (thank you)
- 04/13/20 09:13 AM
You have hear it said that once you lose something you realize the value of it thus making you appreciate it more. Loss affects each one of us differently but the dynamic called "recovery" is no myth. We will and do go on with ourselves with or without the loss perhaps better for it and worst case the wiser for it. Today, America is staying in place or at home and what it does is allow us to look at our freedoms & liberty with respect, awe and gratitude
THOSE THAT FORMED THIS COUNTRY
They came to America one way or another & wanted … (2 comments)

loss: TELLING THE TRUTH? (hope you are)
- 02/23/19 05:20 AM
In the world of yes, no and I don't know, anyone can participate successfully and all playing fields are equal. No thinking or proof is required and all people involved and their time is put to good uses. Look how a simple position such as TRUTH remains so powerful when employed. The problem appears when the one wielding TRUTH is forced to confront their fragile ego, bias, agenda (and more) being exposed
THE TITLE OF THIS POST SHOULDN'T EXIST
Why would anyone have to prove, think or verify anything if TRUTH be told? Before you answer or contemplate this: be reminded that this was … (6 comments)

loss: REAL ESTATE DYNAMICS
- 07/25/17 06:44 AM
It appears that the first time buyer phase is moving steadily along as well as the trade-up market which has been missing for decades. The high end has slowed a bit and the mega-high end is the playground for the very rich who need assets more than they do cash. It appears many dynamics are in healthy play and this is what we call a normal Real Estate cycle

loss: THE TAKE A WAYS
- 04/13/16 12:49 AM
We all know how to enhance a situation or the self at the minimum and how it is subjective when doing so. When one makes an effort, you can see the effort at work. Whether it is effective or hitting its intended mark or audience remains to be seen. The opposite is true too. If something is missing or not running optimum, that is at work as well

loss: RISK
- 11/16/15 11:26 PM
This subject of risking exists for a reason and it can benefit the human or cause harm. What actually takes place if allowed or engaged as well as the results, depend on the person who activates or triggers the risk. There are risks that lead to growth, gain and allow us access to never before seen and heard places and others that lead to ruin.
CALCULATED
There are calculated risks, the thought out, discussed type that when through assessing, one concludes it is safe to launch and they do. They have a specific aim or want and move toward that direction knowing how … (2 comments)

loss: THE WORLD OF GIVE and TAKE
- 04/21/15 11:59 PM
Until I discovered the value of the GIVE and TAKE system, I remained in a state of missing something which I couldn't quite put my finger on. You see we all have this built-in drive to go out there (?) and win, gather, claim, and get our wants and needs and not stop until we have them. Some don't stop at all

It even ups the excitement of the journey when you see others doing the same thing. You then up your game and they, seeing you do that, up there's, and we now have what they call the rat race. The … (8 comments)

loss: HERE TODAY GONE TOMORROW (mature posting)
- 04/14/15 10:12 AM
I want to first apologize for being rude or being perceived as insensitive in regards to the subject matter. I am talking about seeing someone every day all the time and taking it for granted day after day and then, with or without notice, out of the blue...They are gone! They expired, died or if you prefer...passed on.
NOTICE GIVEN
This passing away with notice is not as bad as the one following below even though it has its own mourning dynamics. You know of a loved one, neighbor or a friend who is not well and is having a difficult time of it and you … (8 comments)

loss: THE ART OF THE RISK
- 02/10/15 04:54 AM
First and foremost should be the WHY we risk. It's to gain! You cannot make a gain unless you take a risk! The return on the gain is controlled by the risk taker. Sometimes it is a material risk for a material gain and other times it can take the form of many other categories. Let's take a favorite one for instance: It is better to.....
HAVE LOVED AND LOST THAN NOT LOVED AT ALL
We risk exposing ourselves to this type of pain with an upside well worth the on board price. Spending quality time, sharing intimate thoughts and feelings and passing them … (2 comments)

loss: IN MEMORY OF YOUR MOTHER?
- 08/25/14 12:24 AM
I had a good friend years ago come to me in earnest and want to capitalize on a Real Estate situation. It appears that his wife's mother died and left a home free and clear to her daughter his wife. I was so happy for them because they needed the money. What could possibly disrupt this windfall and good fortune?

loss: HOW YOU KEEP SCORE IN BUSINESS
- 04/22/14 05:51 AM
By results. Two words that tell it like it is and like it isn't, clearly, precisely, and are not a respecter of persons, places, business or things either. You either have something that produces or it does not produce. Your loving it has nothing to do with it. Its really whether the end user loves it or not
UNTIL WE KNOW WHAT WORKS...
Try everything. Experiment. Monitor, tweak and reassess always being aware of how your services or products come across and eventually land. The business cliche of "better, faster and cheaper" is not a cutesy saying. It is based on … (0 comments)

loss: NICKEL AND DIME CALLED PETTINESS
- 03/21/14 02:25 AM
When you see someone being petty, supporting it and it is up close and personal, it is hard to ignore and not even judge. Petty is the "art" (?) of being scarce and scarcity doesn't bode well for the human being. Abundance is more our destiny. We may start out one way but should find the other. Some don't

loss: THE BUYER WANTS FAIR AND THE SELLER WANTS TOP
- 02/22/14 02:28 AM
I am talking about DOLLARS. The seller wanting all he can get is normal type thinking and goes back thousands of years. I got it! Now the buyer, once they find out that they can buy wants to pay a fair price to get their monies worth. How to close that gap is called the market place
THE OBVIOUS
I want all the money I can squeeze out of this property says the seller to his agent with emphasis. The buyer is telling his agent...I am not going to overpay or buy something that needs a lot work. And, so it … (2 comments)

When you take college level courses, it is usually a mix of elevated useful educational subject matters that are intended to increase your educational value, experience and intellect. Even if you have a specified major, they still have miscellaneous support classes called electives that compliment the educational process. In the end, you come out knowing quite a bit more than when you went in...So it is with ACTIVERAIN

loss: THERE USED TO BE A BUYER REAL ESTATE RULE OF THUMB
- 07/15/13 11:11 PM
In a stable and predictable market of which I have memory of, there was a caveat given to the buyer that wanted to buy but also knew they would be moving for one reason or another within 5 years or less. It was not uncommon to point out to this buyer that you may not recover your purchase expenses in that span of time. If that fit your planning or life model, so be it. If not, it is my duty to point that out

When you purchase a home, there are so many expenses large and small. … (41 comments)

loss: WEIGHT CONTROL HAY IF STAYING IN AND OATS IF GOING OUT
- 06/27/13 11:30 PM
The title of the post had to do with weight control. I learned it from watching horses and their work-outs and routines. My observations and research revealed that if a horse was to be corralled or confined, they fed them hay and that was just fine for energy levels. If the horse was to hit the trails or work-out, oats was given to increase the energy and endurance

- 06/24/13 01:25 AM
I remember working at a large restaurant chain satellite store for a few days just to help out and learned there was a theft of funds while I was there. The systems are foolproof and almost always it is an outright theft and by the same token the thief tried to make it look like it wasn't. You see the money gets dropped into a safe and then cannot be opened by anyone unless they have the combo
WHO IS TELLING THE TRUTH?

- 04/28/13 04:07 AM
It has come to my attention lately when I am out shopping anywhere that I see more and more women leaving their purses unattended. Some have an awareness of this, but quickly lose it when they find an item of interest while shopping. Others have no clue believing that the store offers security and they may shop with confidence....
I have not only seen purses neglected in shopping carts, but open with wallets right there on the surface. Often I point this out to people. Reactions and comments received back as follows....
I am watching it... I know.... The mind your … (16 comments)

- 02/07/13 11:39 PM
Long ago retailers discovered that if they dealt with this part of the human nature by allowing refunds, sales would improve and they did. The fear or hesitation of purchasing and having remorse was off set by the fact that you could return the pruchase and no harm and no fowl. In the begiing of this
