Last Week's Favorites: February 10th - 16th

By
Real Estate Agent with RLAH Real Estate AB95346

Last week we saw Valentine's Day, the Russian meteorite and the asteroid that missed us by a few thousand miles.  And we are still alive and well.  And with all of that going on, there was still time to blog.  So the drum roll please:

Whitney Pannell: God Made a Realtor Video- A Parody  There is a lot of really bad video out there.  This one is really good.

Lyn Sims:  Associations and 'Unintended Consequences'  This is a good read for anyone who finds themselves on a homeowners association board.

Dorie Dillard: Tech Support ~ 2-11-13  I really related to this one!  I spend so much time on the phone with techies. 

Ed Silva: I Could have Called the Other Company, But you Provided More information  A good read!

Frank Laisch: Do I need Cyber-Liability Insurance ?What is it? Why would I need it? Oh, and meteorite hit insurance, too!

Richard Weisser: February: The most expensive month of the year!  And it's not just about flowers and chocolates.

Kathleen Daniels:  How do you spell relief?  I am so unbelievably jealous!  I still have this ahead of me.

Norma Toering: 3 Secrets to Keeping Your Cool in a Crazy Market  This is advice we are needing in more markets around the country. 

Mike Cooper: How far does your Active Rain blog reach? Real far. Rock star far.  Now here is one that'll keep you blogging.

Jeff Dowler:  Carlsbad Flower Fields Open March 1, 2013 in Carlsbad California  Carlsbad isn't just about the beaches!

So now we begin another week on Active Rain.  Hope that yours is a good one!

Pat- I've read about half of these featured posts so will have some reading to do.  Everyone has been so busy these past few weeks, which is good, but that also means not as much time to spend reading at AR.

Pat:  Once again... a great job of both selecting blog posts we might have missed, and then all the trouble of putting the post together.  You are an angel, Ms Kennedy!  I appreciate your efforts.

Hey... how 'bout some flute music playing in the background?  Something soft and melodic?

Speaking of that asteroid that flew by so closely, wouldn't it have been cool if somehow we could have taken a few of our non-favorite DC House and Senate members and plunked them onto that asteroid, and then wished them well on their new adventure? 

Of course we would have provided all necessary life-sustaining equipment for them for their journey.  Wouldn't want the boys... and one or two women... to suffer any ill effects... LOL.

Then, when they come around for their next fly-by... we could pluck them off, and they could retire.

Reblogged Dorrie's Tech Post on the spot with this caption....I can chuckle my way through this post. I particularly relate to a panic track when you leave your iPad or iPhone behind when you have a FULL work day scheduled on the road. I also like the Internet before the coffee change...yep!
