Let me start by wishing all of the Active Rain mothers a very happy Mother's Day. 

This week, I'm sure I missed a whole bunch of great posts.  I've been growling at the new Active Rain format!  I'm sure that by this time next week, I'll be used to it.  Oh well!  Here goes!

Carla Muss Jacobs:  The Super Moon Means Only One Thing . . . Super Crazy  Gee, Carla!  So that's it!  I thought it was just me.

Markita Woods:  Easy Mortgage Approval....Not!  Markita gives us the lenders' Easy Button. This is a good check list to give your buyers.

Christine Donovan:  What Happens if We Get a Low Ball Offer on Our Costa Mesa Home?  When low ball is better than no ball!

Christopher & Stephanie Somers:  Tip Jar: How to Avoid a Crappy Situation When Selling Your Home  Now here's a tip to take!

Jane Peters:  I am Forming a New Organization: The ASPCR (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Realtors®)  And I joined!

Emily Medvec:  Chimpanzee...More Than A Movie  This review put Chimps on my must see list.

Gay Rosen:  Have you ever defended the past Agent at a Listing Appointment?  Gay, run!  Run like the wind!  Fun test fluncked!

Elizabeth Weintraub:  Do I Look Like I Fell Off a Turnip Truck To You?  Oh Elizabeth!  You're way too well dressed.

Tricia Hoffman:  A Humorous Mother's Day Prayer  Oh, don't count on protection against tats!  There are worse things!

Kimberlee Morgan:  Do you door knock? Or door drop?  This is one of those whatever works for you fun posts. 

And that's it for today!  Have a wonderful week, and call your mom!

You are funny because I think you really dislike the new AR format. :-)  You did a great job finding some good posts to share with us. Thanks!

Hi Pat - I don't think I tell you enough how much I appreciate your doing this every week and how I (and many others) look forward to it.  The new format has to have made it much more difficult, so I thought I'd better say thanks again!
