The Grab Bag Is Back!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with New Paradigm Partners LLC EB #1326335

Hi everyone!


Happy New Year and welcome to a surprise edition of the Grab Bag, provided today courtesy of some ceaseless nagging and whining from old friends - I won't tell you who they are to protect their reputations.


As for me, it's quite the feeling to know that my AR legacy isn't all of my thoughtfully incisive industry analysis, the clarity of my commentary on the issues of the day, or the brilliant insights provided by my market reporting. Nope. It's because I repost weirdly subversive and offensive tweets from a really questionable corner of a disreputable website. And that's a better deal, legacy-wise, than I usually get, so I'll happily take it, and in return, show my appreciation by gifting you this latest batch from Weird Twitter - please enjoy them responsibly:

It's important to remember that everyone you meet is on their own hard journey through life so give them a smile as you pass by and hope they don't find out it was you who backed into their car

If you're just out of school and working at your first adult job you may be wondering, "Is this really all there is to life?" and the answer is no! There's also back pain.

I take a rare couple of days off to go somewhere warm and miss your return. I guess reading it on a Monday morning though gives me a reason to smile. I have missed your interaction within AR.

OHhhhhhhhhhh, I laughed til I cried (but quit before peeing on myself). You're the BEST. Gosh, I needed this after a rather harsh Presidents Day. No rest for the weary. 

Thank you, my old pal! I miss you!!! Had to stop by cuz dear Michael Jacobs mentioned you in one of his recent posts. I've been MIA for months and you delivered just as I came up for air (and after writing my 1st post in eons).
