I will add more later. Haveto get used to a few at a time.

Come join me and and make me your firend.

After dealing with Realtors for 2 years I don’t think they know how to sell houses anymore. My house was shown the other day and we got feedback.

First of all she had been showing this woman houses that were 20k less than my house and then called mine overpriced.

We are already discounted for the times and are lower than a house just lilke mine by $6k and only $1k more than another house. We are almost $2k under the last one lilke mine that sold.

For starters why would she show a house that was $20k more than what she had been showing? Of course we are going to look overpriced. But that cheaper town house is out in the country, none of the big stores are close.

We are more settled and within 2-3 miles of doctors, national stores, boutique stores.

And after taking the time to come all the way over here from where they were why wouldn’t the Realtor try to upgrade the client if she could afford this house? More commission on her part. If the client couldn’t afford it why waste time showing it?

The Realtors today seem to take great delight in spending an entire showing 6-10 houses and still walk away without a sale. Do they not listen to what their buyers want?
When I was selling real estate I would be upset if I had spent a whole day showing houses with no result. I usually had a buyer within 2 or 3 houses. I listened, I previewed houses. Granted I was in the country and didn’t have as large a choice as they do now, but still Realtors shouldn’t be out all day with one client.

Show too many houses and it’s hard to remember which house had what even with notes.

Well my house will get sold and soon.

Fortunately this one didn’t cost me money. But if I don’t fly on Airtran within a year I will lose the credit. All I was doing was checking the process for redeeming points off a survey site. I didn’t actually finish the transaction. But I just got an email apologizing that the system goofed and expired the time before I even got the credit. And I will have my credit by April 30.

A few months ago I was checking how autoship works on a site. Lo and behold a week later I got notice that my credit card was over limit. Well, I”m trying to pay that card down so I don’t use it. It was an autoship pmt for a product. I never completed the transaction, so why did it automatically charge me on a card I have only used once on that site years ago. I immediately called and told them cancel the autoship.

I”m working on a website. It’s trying to automate things I don’t want it too. It won’t let me put as many spaces in as I want without going thru hoops.

I hate working with Word 2007 it automates things and won’t let me put spacing in that I want without a lot of trouble.

Everything in life cannot be automated. At some point we have to be able to modify things, check on things without somelthing automatically happening.

Be careful. Never close out a site with something in the shopping cart. Make sure it’s empty. Don’t just assume closing the window or logging out will empty the cart. It doesn’t always, especially in this day and age when everyone is hurting.

Boy, didn’t realize it had been so long since I have written here. Between vacation and treatments it’s been while.

Beach Body has a new product. It’s called Shakeology and it has over 70 ingredients in it. antioxidants, all the berries, like acai and reservatrol. Fruits and veggies. It’s a meal replacement shake.

It comes in two flavors, Greenberry and Chocolate. The chocolate has more protein than the Greenberry.

Stay tuned for more information as I learn more about it.

A few days late but I am on vacation and we have been busy with resting and rying to do some shopping.

I hope everyone is gearing up to finally make their businesses take off this year.

I know I am. I have narrowed down way too many businesses to just a few that have the best chance of making the most income andwhich I really like hte best.

I am a distributor for Team Beach Body where I sell great exercise DVDs and nutritional supplements a bit different than the ordinary company. These supplements are geared to helping you get fit, recover after exercise and/or lose weight. It’s a great company to work with.

I also help non-profit organizations with Our GV Mall . When you buy your gifts or everyday items from the 1000 or more national and boutique stores in our mall, a portion ofyour purchase goes to a non-profit organization. To find out how we help organizations and non-profits please go to Our GV .You can find out all about our different programs and also hte business opportunity from there.

The other company I”m proud to be part of is Noah’s Ark Workshop
We do workshops for children’s birthday parties and for daycare centers, retirement home and so much more. Grammies Bears has links to our Scout program.

This is the last week to order products from any of my businesses for Christmas delivery. Monday is the last day you can order from http://myholidayspecials.com so that I can get them in the mail Monday. Most other places Monday is the last day to order.

Noah’s Ark Workshop has the plushest cutest animals of any company. They are truly collectible as they do retire animals. http://grammiesbears.com has a couple of specials. Free shipping with a $75 or more order. Thru Dec 31 they have a special starter kit of $10.
I’m giving a free $5 Stuff on Us Card for future online orders and a free animal t-shirt thru Tues for any orders.

Kids of all ages from 1-100 enjoy them. As many seniors keep them for themselves as they do to make them for grandchildren.

When you order a kit you get the animal you ordered, stuffing, Rainbow Wish Star and a birth certificate.

Stay home and order online. Don’t take the chance of a parking lot and being in the crowds.

Winter has come. It’s unbelievably cold in this area. They say global warming but you couldn’t prove it here. When we first moved here in 2005 I think I only wore my heavy coat a few times and the next winter too and didn’t start till Jan.

Now it’s Nov and in the 30s, low 40s in the daytime already. No snow. The weekend we moved in we had a snow and sleet storm. Now I’m ready to dig out the heavy coat.

Am trying to keep the heat down but I think all this cold is making me sick so will probably have to turn it back up a bit.

In this morning’s AJC the Obama management team wants to make sure we all realize that they might not get their to do list accomplished in this term let alone in the first months or couple years.

If the troops leave Iraq they will just go to Afghanistan.

So Obama is already running for his second term.

Either way history would be made tonite, no matter which candidate won.

But it looks like Barack Obama will be the new president. I hope everyone will stand behind him as long as what he does is for the good of America and doesn’t make us more enemies worldwide.

The next president will be a woman and there will be no more government fundraising with its limits.

I have put Noah’s Ark Workshop animal kits on special on my site http://myholidayspecials.com. I have discounted them as they have been
used for display.

With a kit you will receive stuffing, a RainbowWish Star and birth certificate.

I also have some already stuffed and dressed animals. They have not been closed so you will also get a RainbowWish Star and a birth certificate.

And I have some outfits too.

Please email orders to cindyp at grammiesbears.com and I will paypal invoice you.
