Posts Just For You - This Week at ActiveRain October 12 to October 18, 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!

 

Margaret RomeOctober 12: Margaret Rome Half May Be More Than Enough

I'm familiar with the Jack and Jill bath set up but this one is one I'd never seen. What about you???

 

DorieOctober 13: Dorie Dillard    Learning Through Listening

We could all do more of this. Active listening can open up more doors than you could imagine. 

 

 

Kelly Kelly McGovern I didn't turn him on

What would we do without a good Sunday chuckle!!??

 

 

 

KatKat Palmiotti Historical Stories: Montana

Whether you've been to Montana or not, you'll love reading these tidbits Kat shared. I would not have wanted to be the man dressed as a calf!!!

 

AlanOctober 15: Alan May

It all began with What's going on out there? which begets Who is your Co-Pilot and returned to normalcy with 5 Ways to choose the wrong real estate agent. This is the fun part of the community. It has nothing to do with being a clique. Just read the posts especially if you want to learn what -50 means.

 

PatriciaOctober 17: Patricia Feager Feel Good for Friday, October 17, 2025

If you're of a certain age, and I suspect many are, you'll shake your head and smile while you read this!!!

 

Anna "Banana"October 18: Anna "Banana" Kruchten The King & Queen of Snow-Trick or Treat Spiders

This Lady never stops!!! Read her post to see where she put the spiders!

Good Sunday morning, Kathy. Four for me today... but as the list wasn't super long, it's a good percentage, I say! :)

Good morning Kathy. I had to pause and catch my breath before beginning to write this. For the first time I can remember instead of reporting a "wipeout" I can proudly say "I caught them all the first time around"! Now I wonder if it will ever happen again? Enjoy your day.

Good morning Kathy Streib ,

Thank you for including my post! I'm honored. I see I read most of the selections except one so off to read and comment. Our Longhorns won but it wasn't pretty! 🏈🏈
