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!

Good Sunday morning, Kathy... six for me from your list this week. I had none from Carol's list yesterday, so I'm feeling a bit better in terms of being "with it."

Nina Hollander, Broker I would never say that you are not "with it" and if you're not it's because you don't want to be.
