If you are a listing agent, did you know that you're already running an auction?  It's called a painfully slow Dutch auction.    A Dutch auction is when an auction starts with a high price, and the bid decreases until someone accepts the price.  Maybe that's a tad over-simplified, but you get my ...

  I was just sent this from my Mom.  It's a short video on how to quickly retrieve something that fell down a drain.  It's great tip for saving time and/or money.  No need to take apart the plumbing trap yourself, or even worse, call a plumber, which can get pretty expensive.  Great for the inev...
