What I Learned This Week At ActiveRain-April 24 to April 30, 2016.

 

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!

 

sally and david hansonApril 24: Sally and David Hanson   The Bridge...is Back!

Let’s not start down this slippery path again.  What’s going on in your area?

 

 

myrl jeffcoatMyrl Jeffcoat 60 Minutes Segment-Are Members of Congress Becoming Telemarketers?

Very interesting post. Well, I guess now we know what they're doing in DC. Clearly, we know what they're not doing.

sharon taraApril 25: Sharon Tara If You Wonder If Your Home Can Benefit From Staging, Consider This.

Sharon is exactly right with this one. There are times when Stagers go into a room and aren't quite sure what to do to enhance it. This, as Sharon points out, is exactly why hiring a Stager can benefit you when you sell your house.

nicole dotyNicole Doty How many Chickens can I own in Gilbert, AZ?

I hadn't thought about the number of people turning to raising their own chickens and produce out of health concerns. Very informative post.

 

 

ron and alexandra seigelApril 28: Ron and Alexandra Seigel Are You Green With Envy?

There are many shades of green that I love, but the one that goes with envy never flatters anyone. The next time that shade descends on you, remember Ron and Alexandra's post.

 

 

sherri goldApril 29: Sherri Gold New Member Introduction-Sherri Gold

Welcome new member Sherri Gold to ActiveRain. I loved that we learned quite a bit about who she is via her first post and based on that, I think she'll be an asset here and wherever she chooses to be.

 

tammy lankfordTammy Lankford Ask an Ambassador: Do Other People Know WHERE You In Business?

Tammy's post was featured but it bears additional exposure. She shows us how to make it easy for others, especially possible consumers or members wishing to send a referral your way, just where you are AND what you do!

 

Michael j PerryApril 30: Michael J Perry How to Get 50 Views in Less than 1 Hour on ActiveRain.

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