Posts Just For You- This Week at ActiveRain June 15 to June 21, 2025

  

Every day, there is something to learn here at ActiveRain.  With this series, I highlight posts that gave me that lightbulb moment. It could be something techie, a post about Real Estate or other professions, about a place, or a person. Or, it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice!

 

DickJun 15:  Dick Betts   What Are you Doing With That Old Mitt?

It may be worn and well used, but it still works. I can relate to that. 

 

 

LewJune 16: Lew Corcoran Why Your Comments Can Boost Your Search Results

Say what you will about comments or non-commenting. Lew's post offers some insights.

I love the thought that went into this from Kat. And I think the idea is a wonderful way to pay it forward.

This is a prescription you'll want!!! But for the copperhead we saw on our walk this morning, I was pretty chilled being outdoors!

I love the idea of this. Being involved in sports is such a great way for young people to learn about rules, respect for others, teamwork, and so much more.

Our friends had well water in the Keys. Dacyn offers some excellent tips.

This is another wonderful idea from Wayne. And I think it speaks to what he learned from his father. I wish we truly could turn our point into $$ for ideas like this.

 

WalterJune 20: Walter DiLoreto 10 Ways the Multigenerational Living is an Escalating Real Estate Trend

I love the idea of multi-gen living and here are 10 good reasons for it.
