Posts Just For You- This Week at ActiveRain June 22 to June 28, 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!

 

WillJune 22:  Will Hamm   Lots of Water When HOT Out

Glad that Will is doing well but he shares a good reminder for all of us. 


MichaelJune 23: Michael Jacobs Reaching the Checkout...

What an interesting post from Michael. He has a way of sharing his thoughts that encourage or inspire us to ponder as well.

TobyJune 24: Toby Barnett Using AI Video to Create a New Type of Home Tour

What do you think? Take a look and let Toby Barnett know.

Hello Kathy - thank you for including my post in your weekly just for your selection.  Satire or any spin on it is certainly subjective.  I understand that not everyone "gets it".

  Michael Jacobs which makes it even more special!!!!!  Nothing "canned" about your posts.
