There is no debate that the Real Estate market took off after 9/11. We were at a very rough cross roads in our history and I guess anything could have happened. One way or the other we, as a country got motivated and there are too many factors to get into … (3 comments)
I hadn't thought much about our dispatchers at the end of the 911 line but they have a heck of a job and mostly go unnoticed until something goes wrong. 
This blog is very long, but it's worth every word. This happened to me today and I am here writing this blog and sharing some important information with you.
Most of us work with the public and learning just simple things could save a life.

As an American, a Patriot, a Veteran, I am concerned for America. I'm concerned about our very existence and survival. I was on Long Island on September 11, 2001. It is a memory that is etched in my memory forever. 
Sunday, June 22, 2008, the weatherman said it was going to rain. The sun was (somewhat) shining, and we were determined to picnic someplace other than our patio. Betting on the sun to dry up all the rain, we decided to venture not far from our Weston home and shuffled off to Sherwood Island … (2 comments)
You know every time I think that we have finally hit bottom, a new group of sickos comes bursting onto the scene. This latest bunch are sending letters to US Marines serving in Iraq telling them that 9/11 was a US Government inside job and that the Marines should know that.
It has happened several times, you've read it in the newspaper - you've seen it on the news - you've heard stories at the watercooler. Yes, it happens all the time. Fire breaks out in a home - thanks to an unattended candle. It happened to a house an agent in … (4 comments)
Spin this for a second. REMAX has given us a great option for our clients out there wanting to deal with "full disclosure" agents. We have become very well know and have been able to build one of the best Internet presences amongst our peers. That means a couple of things. … (0 comments)
The name Valhalla comes from Norse Mythology. It means The Hall of the Chosen or Slain Warriors.
Granted, the subject is off-topic from real estate. Forgive me. However, as Fox News had a special on tonight called “Jihad USA…Homegrown Terror”, I couldn’t help but be reminded of what I was doing the morning of 9/11.

Wow, I didn't even think that something like this might happen to me when I pre-screen homes or show them to buyers. 
You've heard the joke, "Quick, what's the number for 911?"

I cannot believe that is has been 6 years since this has happened. Seeing the news brought back a lot tough memories of this tragedy. At the same time it really gives us a chance to look at what we have and how thankful we should be for everything in our … (0 comments)
Taking a few minutes out of our day to remember those who lost their life in this tragic event and those who have lost their lives trying to rescue those who were trapped or injured in the disasters on 9-11
I don’t want to get to far into it here because there is a lot that can be said. I do want to share a little bit of my own experience however. It's been six years, but I don't think I've really shared this since then.
It's a beautiful day here in Colorado Springs, much like that September Tuesday six years ago. 
I had the opportunity to be in front of the tv when Oprah's show came on and she had children who lost a parent on September 11th. It is hard for us to remember to take time to reflect, but should be a priority. Most of us have families and cherish … (3 comments)
PATTY is a retired school counselor, private client psychotherapist and professional harpist. But she loves keeping her fingers involved in the education of teens, so she frequently substitutes at Dallas' private Lake Hill Preparatory School. Today, September 11, 2007, she went to substitute for the French teacher.
9-11, what does it mean to you? How do you remember 9-11? DId you realize it was 9-11?
Wow, six years ago today, America experienced a tragedy of immense proportions: a malicious attack on the United States soil that cost us thousands of innocent lives. As Americans, we struggled with the horror and senselessness of that attack. The days and weeks that passed we comforted ourselves in the Flag, Old Glory and Patriotism through that difficult time. This is something we will always remember … (0 comments)
Sunday, September, 9th, the Red Knights, Palm Coast Chapt 11 sponsored a "911 Memorial Ride" for All Fallen Hero's. Steve and I arrived about 930 and there was a good turn out already. Everything was very well organized and water was available to us as it was already very warm at 9:30.

I cannot believe that it has already been 6 years since this tragedy. Im sure everyone can remember the very instant they heard the news and what they were doing. On this day remember those that we love and those that we have lost. Say prayers for those that help defend … (3 comments)
Six years ago today, we all lived through a tragic event, that will stay in our minds for the rest of our lives. It was the destruction of the Twin Towers in NYC, attack on the Pentagon and a plane crash from a hijacking over PA. This is not something that … (5 comments)

Do you remember where you were six years ago? Most likely you do. I know I do. There's not too much anybody can add to what happened....we all know how we felt. It was truly a day where everybody's lives stood still. Maybe just for a couple of days...but life took … (1 comments)

It seems to be a common thread my generation to ask "Where were you on September 11th, 2001?"
Some things to remember in advance:

World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam – my father has been there, done that. I’ve sat around during family reunions and listened to the stories my father and uncles recount – some funny, some sad, some horrible. You can debate the politics, you can debate the morality, you can debate the debate. … (0 comments)
As a Realtor in the state of Minnesota, my cell phone is a valuable tool that keeps me connected to my clients and office. I never go anywhere without tossing the little electronic device into my purse as one never knows when an offer will come in or a new client … (8 comments)
I'm told that there is a huge rock near a gravel pit on Hwy.25 in rural Iowa . For generations, kids have painted slogans, names, and obscenities on this rock, changing its character many times. A few years back, the rock received its latest paint job, and since then it has … (23 comments)
One of the reasons I go out of my way to fly JetBlue is the DirecTV channels they provide at every seat. I rarely, if ever, watch the History Channel at home. But for some mysterious reason I am drawn to it on an airplane like my five year old is … (32 comments)
One of the biggest decisions I’ve ever made in my life occurred on September 12, 2001.
This may end up being a little long, but I'm writing this for me.......not necessarily for you.......I have never really went back and tried to recall how I felt that day. I don't know that I ever wanted to recall it. I have avoided the TV today. But alas the ActiveRain … (7 comments)
I'm not writing this for points or anything, just to get the word out. Jay & Francy Thompson from Active Rain alerted me to the 2996 Project in one of their comments on my first 911 blog. I "Googled it" and discovered a most impressive undertaking. Bloggers nationally and around the … (2 comments)
My son was born in 2001, and today was a sombering reminder of the future that my lie ahead. Sorry to get alittle political, but it makes me happier but worries me as well that we've made progress in the War on Terror, but we're also farther from ending it as … (0 comments)

As I watch the discussion on remembering where we all were early on 9/11/01, I thought I may as well as add in my recollection if only because it's slightly different.
Ok so I know that everyone is blogging on this today. I can still remember right where I was and what I was doing when this happen. I was living in upstate NY at the time. My dad had just passed away, I can remember thinking that I was thankful that … (0 comments)

90 days ago, D.Challener Roe set out to enlist 2,996 bloggers to each write a tribute to an individual victim of 9/11. With the help of many and God only knows how many hours of dedicated work, he did it. 
So, tomorrow is 9/11/2006. Hard to believe that five years have past already. It seems like only yesterday we as a nation came under attack and many of us had our way of life changed forever. Not only the direct victims, but everyday people like you and me who weren't even … (4 comments)
