"Facebook Fridays"...Emily has really done some fine work here on getting more communication and contacts set up for Active Rain members. Gary Coles started the group. I just "Liked" several group members and joined the group. So check it out!  What is Facebook Fridays? It's a group started by Ga...

Are we slow? In my case I think that's rhetorical, but I am actually referring to the Active Rain site. I've tried three browsers and it's about the same speed, or rather lack thereof. Is it just me? I have a REALLY FAST modem and the fastest service Cox has so I'm curious. What say you? If I can...

URGENTLY NEED A BPO ON A MANSION IN PAKISTAN. We need a quick BPO on a mansion in Abbottabad, Pakistan.  Nearly new, hardly used.

"Eleven notes about Short sales"... Judy has comprised the most comprehensive set of notes about Short Sales that I have come across. Even the way she wrote the list is interesting. Number One has one point, etc. The only point I did not see was that you would really REALLY want only one lender i...

"Make Sure Your Cell Phone Is Off"...Good tip. Also be sure you don't "butt dial" YOUR phone either. Happens more to kids in tight jeans, when their phone is tucked in their back pocket and they sit down, but still. It's really called another term but I made it more PC for those on AR with tender...
