What I Learned This Week At ActiveRain-October 4 to October 10, 2015

 

I learn something new every day at ActiveRain!  With this series I try to highlight one post per day that gave me that “lightbulb” moment.  It could be something techie, something about Real Estate, about a place or person!  Or it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice!

 

Michael JacobsOctober 4:  Michael Jacobs   Celebrating People-People Yes Peeple No.

I can’t imagine where this new little app will take social media but I love Michael’s take on it.

Patricia FeagerPatricia Feager    The Morality of Questionable MLS Photos

What do you think?  Patricia has written another thought-provoking post.

 

 

 

dick greenbergDick Greenberg The Grab Bag- Photogrammar

First thing you need to do is set a timer when you hit this site or you'll be sorry! such an interesting site that Dick has shared with us!!

 

debbie laityOctober 5: Debbie Laity Is Your Bathroom Confusing You?

As they always say, Real Estate is regional. Go to Debbie's post and give her your answer.

 

 

liz lockhartLiz Lockhart I THINK I Have Learned (But am reminded every October)

I hope that Liz's story will encourage all of us for ourselves, loved ones, or anyone we know to listen to our bodies.

Kyle ReyesKyle Reyes How Facebook May Soon Crush Medium and LinkedIn.

I'd never even heard of Facebook Notes! If you're considering where you need to be, take a look at Kyle's post.

Richard RobiberoOctober 6: Richard Robibero To Be 3 Again....

Wouldn't we all love to be that again, or at least spend time with someone who is. This is a lovely post.. and it's short so please drop by and treat yourself to a smile.

Mike cooperOctober 7: Mike Cooper If You Give a Realtor a Referral...

How creative and fun is Mike's post. Put a smile on your face today and head on over.

 

 

sally and david hansonOctober 8: Sally and David Hanson Treats Not Tricks....the Hansons Celebrate Halloween.

And they know how to make an impression. Read their post to see the detail they employ when choosing gifts that clients will remember. Their post may help you create just the right holiday gift with a little oomph.

ron and alexandra seigelRon and Alexandra Seigel Newbies and All-Are You Letting the Ants Get in the Way of the Elephant?

Oh yes, this is so simple, and yet so true. We're all guilty of this but it's a phrase we should have taped on our computer screen.

sharon taraOctober 9: Sharon Tara Paint a Pumpkin Teal for a Safer Halloween

I had not heard of this! It's a good idea for one of our grandsons and with Halloween around the corner you might want to take a look.

Jay MarkanichOctober 10: Jay Markanich "By Law" the "Technicians" Had to Shut Down the Water Heater.

Thank goodness Jay's neighbor called him. I wonder how many times a day this happens to people who don't have a Jay to call.




 

Thank you for letting me do what I love to do each day... learn something new!

Hi Kathy-First, CONGRATS on the 2 mil point mark. Lots of hard work to accomplish this feat. Secondly, a great and interesting line up.  It was hard to pick a fav this week as there were several that I really enjoyed and were excellent. One was Michael Jacobs . Who rates people. That is just terrible. Love Michaels take on it. The others I really enjoyed were Debbie Laity , Ron and Alexandra Seigel , Sharon Tara and Richard Robibero, ABR, SRS .

Thank you as always for your time and lessons you share with these AHA moments. Have a great week.
