I Would Need Noise Canceling Headphones.

Frankly, I could not wear either ear plugs or headphones to bed. Ear plugs don't stay in for me and headphones would be terribly uncomfortable (unless I was sleeping sitting up).

In the movies there are all kinds of nasty pranks used on people who are snoring away. I sleep with someone I love so there are no nasty pranks in our bed. A gentle nudge usually solves the chain saw imitator problem with no hard feelings.

The only way I can tie this to Real Estate is that if a client or co-worker has an annoying habit be gentle and understanding. There is no need to install ear plugs or put on headphones.

Do you enjoy the cartoons written by my son (Timmothy N. Timm) which I use as a springboard to write my daily posts? His strip, Titus & Philemon, has run in two newspapers for years as well as being printed in my blog every day. Titus & Philemon (pronounced Phi - Lee -Man) are guinea pigs. Their owner is Joe. Timmothy has never repeated a joke/comic strip in the 12 years he has been writing it. He has never copied another strip, such as Peanuts or Garfield. You can follow Timmothy on FB as Titus & Philemon and you can also check him out on Instagram as Instagram.com/titus and philemon/ .For Timmothy's website type timmtimmothy.com into your browser. I tried to put it in a link here but it refuses to work. Do NOT put anything in front of timmtimmothy.com or it will not work.

     It's not the other person... often just how you react to the other person. You and I see it in real estate. Lots of his and her bedrooms, two kings (or the king queen bedroom set up pair of lay your head in the bed options).

     Twin beds not just because of snoring but bathroom trips, restless leg syndrome and more as parts wear out Bob "RealMan" Timm. Some are night owls and want to watch tv in bed, or want to read read read.

     Others can sleep through a hurricane. Adjust, adapt for whatever works for a good night's sleep that helps any relationship and mood.

Great points Andrew Mooers | 207.532.6573 😊. Early in my career I once asked a young man why some people wanted such large homes followed by "don't they want to see each other?". His reply was that was the only way his parents could stay married... if they could avoid each other at home. I understood after that point.

Bob "RealMan" Timm I learned the fine art of tuning out at the appropriate time in the business world many years ago... but I still look like I'm totally listening.

Since I live alone, I definitely have trouble sleeping if someone else is staying in my home because of the extra noise, haha.

I get that Brian England . A strange bump in the night gets me right out of bed to see what's going on.
