With all the glitchiness on AR this week, I wasn't sure I was going to get a list out this week. Here's what I came up with:

"I just finished The Swedish Art of Aging Exuberantly by Margareta Magnusson.  This is the same woman who wrote The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning." 

Insurance Carriers Refuse To CYA 
By: Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! 
"Another thing, forget about feeling secure because of a long standing relationship you've had with your insurance agent. It could be 5 years or 30 years, they will drop you as quick as a slinky model wearing 6-inch stiletto's with weak ankles, slamming down on a runway platform."

By: Mike McCann - Nebraska Farm Land Broker 
"Because we had a terrible agent "helping" us look for a home in Colorado Springs. She was lost most of the time...and when we did find the home we were supposed to be at...NONE...I mean NONE of them met the parameters we had set for her.

Hi Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 
I was worried I wouldn't even be able to get a list out this week due to all the AR gremlins.  Happy Saturday.

Hi Kat Palmiotti 
I wasn't sure I was going to get a list out this weekend with all the gremlins crawling around AR this week. Are you frozen in there?

Jan 13, 2024 07:44 AM
Kat Palmiotti

Yes Carol Williams , the temperature has gone UP to -29º!!

Miss Carol Williams I feel your pain - it is real.  I applaud you for getting this post together and posted.  The site performance has been less than desirable.

Hi Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist 
"Less than desirable"? That's a very tactful way of putting it. 😂

THANK YOU Carol for featuring my post in your weekly series! The quote is one that came to mind when watching young women trying their best to stay vertical in ridiculous stiletto's as they precariously travel down a runway!

Hi Carol:

It must have been a challenge to get this done this past week! Thank you.

And my amount of reading was way off so I've a bit of catch-up to try and do this weekend.
