What? Is texted really a word? It is so annoying when people say, " Oh, I just texted it to you." What is that? Can't text be used in the past tense without the "ed"? It sounds like a 5 year old speaking. For example, a child might say: " I goed with my mom to the store." Basic principal of past

Don't worry, I'm not going to go religious on you; I just thought I'd share something that happened to me last Sunday. My mother-in-law teaches Sunday School at our church. My daughter happens to be in her class. K-1st grade. She was asking the kids about Easter. They all made comments like, "Ea

I was reading a few blogs this afternoon and I found myself leaning toward posts that just had to do with every day life. What's nice about AR is that I can choose what type of blog I want to read. If I'm in the mood to just relax and unwind I know I can go to groups like AR comedy club or Off-To

Not kidding. I was working out with a friend of mine yesterday and we're busy gabbing about life and kids. We both noticed that this woman kept staring at me. She seemed nice enough but I was getting a little uncomfortable. Finally she said, "Can I borrow your shirt?" Now, I notice that this woma

I am in the process of filing an ethics complaint. This is not something I wanted to have to do but my hands are tied. I am feeling somewhat frustrated with the actions of agents that are supposed to be experienced. Now I am not making generalizations, but I feel as though we all go through the s

Sounds ridiculous doesn't it? Here's the problem: I'm newer to the Real Estate profession and have been fortunate enough to have had quite a few closings in the last two years, however I don't know how to request a testimonial from my former clients. I've seen other people's testimonials. I know

These are all words I have had to type in at the bottom of any page on AR when I blog, comment, and such. What are they? At first it was: banana, lillypad, staircase; words I had heard of. Now it's mamoncillo, kawakawa, and namnam. Where do they come up with these? They aren't real words, are the

I've seen many blogs talking about AR bringing more business to individuals and businesses but I didn't believe it could happen to me. Until now..... Thanks to Active Rain I am getting a website! James Arias contacted Eduardo Alvear and I to give us the opportunity to have our own website. Being

I can feel it already. The pressure is on. My kids know Spring Break is right around the corner and they're already looking at me like, "0kay, how are you going to entertain us?" We are going to spend two days and one night in Wisconsin Dells at an indoor waterpark. (Too expensive to go in the su

My blogger is blocked! It seems such a short time ago that I could just sit down at my computer and pound out a quick blog, but now I find myself at a loss. I find myself thinking during the day, "that would be a good topic to blog". Then I sit down in front of the computer and my brain quits wor
