  In reality I have not been in this business for an extended amount of time.  But during my short time I have noticed people who exhibit this.  Do I really like what I see not so much?  If you have it there is no need to flaunt it people will know.  I believe people who do this are insecure and this helps them cope with their insecurity.  So now for the meaning of (as’ten ta’shen) showy display as of wealth, knowledge, etc.  So how many people do you know or have known who has this problem?

 "If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in  the Iraq Theater of operations during the past 22 months, and a total  of 2,112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000  soldiers.  The firearm death rate in Washington , DC is 80.6 per 100,000 for the  same period. That means you are about 25 per cent more likely to be  shot and killed in the US capital, which has some of the strictest  gun control laws in the U.S., than you are in Iraq .  Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington

Well here we sit after a day of Real Estate. Today was a short day.  We left the house at 8 a.m.  We arrived home right at 7 p.m. delighting our 15 year old Yorkie, Sadie.   I let Sadie out, said hi to the cats and then fired up the laptops.  Mary just finished looking for property for a client that will buy in the near future.  I have to look up some land for another past client. We've already gone over the agenda for tomorrow.  Mary will be showing property in Wheaton, MO first thing in the morning. I am heading to Arkansas for a HUD meeting. After which I need to do some prospecting.   In the afternoon we will both be showing property in Fayetteville, Arkansas.  Then we will meet another client for a final walk though inspection of the home they are buying in Rogers, AR.   So we have...

  Colonoscopies are no joke, but these comments during the exam were quite humorous.... A physician claimed that the following are actual comments made by his patients (predominately male) while he was performing their colonoscopies: 1. 'Take it easy, Doc. You're boldly going where no man has gone before!' 2. 'Find Amelia Earhart yet?' 3. 'Can you hear me NOW?' 4. 'Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?' 5. 'You know, in  Arkansas , we're now legally married.' 6. 'Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?' 7. 'You put your left hand in; you take your left hand out...' 8. 'Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!' 9. 'If your hand doesn't fit, you must quit!' 10. 'Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity.' 11. 'You used to be an executive at Enron, didn't you?' 12. 'God, now I ...

  In My Hand I Hold a Ball, White and Dimpled, and Rather Small. Oh, How Bland It Does Appear, This Harmless Looking Little Sphere.   By Its Size I Could Not Guess The Awesome Strength It Does Possess.     But Since I Fell Beneath Its Spell, I've wandered Through the Fires of Hell.   My Life Has Not Been Quite the Same Since I Chose To Play This Stupid Game. It Rules My Mind for Hours on End; A Fortune It Has Made Me Spend.   It Has Made Me Curse and Made Me Cry, And Hate Myself And Want To Die. It Promises Me a Thing Called Par, If I Hit It Straight And Far.   To Master Such a Tiny Ball, Should Not Be Very Hard At All. But My Desires the Ball Refuses, And Does Exactly As It Chooses.   It Hooks and Slices, Dribbles and Dies, And Disappears Before My Eyes. Often It Will Have a Whim, To H...

    A Little Golf Story A father put his 3 year old daughter to bed, told her a story and listened to her prayers which ended by saying:"God bless Mommy, God bless Daddy, God bless Grandma and goodbye Grandpa." The father asked, "Why did you say goodbye Grandpa?" The little girl said, "I don't know, Daddy, it just seemed like the thing to do." The next day grandpa died.  The father thought it was a strange coincidence. A few months later the father put the girl to bed and listened to her prayers which went like this: "God bless Mommy, God Bless Daddy and goodbye Grandma." The next day the grandmother died.  "Holy Moley, thought the father, "this kid is in contact with the other side." Several weeks later when the girl was going to bed the dad heard her say:"God bless Mommy and goodbye D...

  There are only nine questions.  This is a quiz for people who know everything!   I found out in a hurry that I didn't. These are not trick questions.  They are straight questions with straight answers..  1. Name the one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends. 2. What famous North American landmark is constantly moving backward?   3. Of all vegetables, only two can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons. All other vegetables must be replanted every year.  What are the only two perennial vegetables?  4. What fruit has its seeds on the outside? 5. In many liquor stores, you can buy pear brandy, with a real pear inside the bottle. The pear is whole and ripe, and the bottle is genuine; it hasn't been ...

  I live near Oklahoma and often listen to talk radio through a station in Tulsa.  Yesterday they had a poll asking people to vote if the term “Geronimo” offended any of them.  The word was used when the Seals took out Ben Laden.  A few Native Americans called and said they were offended most were not.  That brings me to wonder what the heck is going on with this system.  Someone somewhere will be offended by something someone says.  When will we stop being “politically correct” I do believe this Country was founded on freedom of religion and speech along with freedom of the press.  Get a grip and get over it.  With that being said here you go; If you can’t afford a doctor go to an airport-you’ll get a free x-ray and a breast exam, and; if you mention Al Qaeda, you’ll get a free colonos...

  A young engineer was leaving the office   at 5:45 p.m. when he found the CEOstanding in front of a shredder with a   piece of paper in his hand. "Listen," said the CEO,   "this is a very sensitive and important document, and my   secretary is not here. Can you make this thing work?" "Certainly," said the young   engineer. He turned on the machine, inserted the paper, and pressed   the start button. "Excellent, excellent!" said   the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the machine, "I just need one copy." Lesson: Never, Never, ever assume that your   boss knows what he's doing.

  Hope this one gets your attention.  Do you realize we do this all the time?  Do you realize once these are shown they may or may not be classified as such in a few years?  Do I have you confused yet I know I am…  Anyway the meaning of (fo’ boor’) is outside town hence suburb.  A city district that was at one time a suburb.  Tell me did I get you on this one?  Once a city takes in the suburb according to Webster’s ® it is no longer classified as a suburb but we still call them by that name… Don’t know what we can do about it and its late I’m tired and maybe just maybe I can figure this all out tomorrow…NOT

  A priest dies and is waiting in line at the Pearly Gates.  Ahead of him is a guy who's dressed in sunglasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket, and jeans.   Saint Peter addresses this cool guy, 'Who are you, so that I may know whether or not to admit you to the Kingdom of Heaven? '   The guy replies, ‘I’m Jack, retired Continental Airlines Pilot from Houston’.   Saint Peter consults his list.  He smiles and says to the pilot, 'take this silken robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom.'   The pilot goes into Heaven with his robe and staff.     Next, it's the priest’s turn. He stands erect and booms out, 'I am Father Nelson, pastor of Saint Mary's in San Francisco for the last 43 years.'    Saint Peter consults his list.   He says to the priest, 'Take this cotton robe and wooden staff an...

  OK boys and girls this one should cause you to look up the word but don’t bother cause you know I’ll tell you what it means shortly.  We as agents need to be mindful of this.  Even though no harm may be the result of you doing something you still could be called to account for your actions.  The meaning of (de’ an tal’e je) the ethical doctrine which holds that the worth of an action is determined as by its conformity to some binding rule rather than by its consequences.  Think about that one for awhile.

  This was sent to me yesterday.  I didn’t look at it until today and thought the message spoke volumes.  How does this relate to real estate you may ask?  If I need to explain it you might want to take a look in the mirror.  How many opportunities do you see every day and do not take advantage of them?  Enjoy the video and have a good day. You may need to copy and paste but whatever you’ll be glad you saw it.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hzgzim5m7oU

  Man sitting at home on the verandah rocking in a rocking chair drinking a beer with his wife and he says, "I love you "She asks, "Is that you or the beer talking?" He replies, "It's me............. talking to the beer."  Enjoy your day this guy sure didn’t.  I understand he will recover from his wounds.  Police stated it was justified and no charges would be filed.

    A blonde city girl named Amy marries a Colorado rancher. One morning, on his way out to check on the cows, the rancher says to Amy, 'The insemination man is coming over to impregnate one of our cows today, so I drove a nail into the 2 by 4 just above where the cow's stall is in the barn. Please show him where the cow is when he gets here, OK?' The rancher leaves for the fields. After a while, the artificial insemination man arrives and knocks on the front door. Amy takes him down to the barn. They walk along the row of cows and when Amy sees the nail, she tells him, 'This is the one right here.' The man, assuming he is dealing with an air head blond, asks, 'Tell me lady, 'cause I'm dying to know; how would YOU know that this is the right cow to be bred?' 'That's simple," she said. "...

  I’ll ask the question and you tell me about your market.  Here in NW Arkansas we are not having this problem as much as the rest of the country but it does rear its head from time to time.  I’m sure as the new batch of foreclosures hit the market this situation will change and we’ll cope with it.  The meaning of (pej’e ra’shen) a worsening; depreciation.  I for one will deal with it and move on.  There will be agents for one reason or another who will turn in their license.  While I would hate for this to happen on one hand looking at the other it will lead to more listings and sells for me.  What’s your opinion?

  Ever wonder why your principal broker goes over your contracts?  You know you’ve crossed all your T’s and dotted all your I’s but still they insist you show them your documents.   What they are trying to do is keep you and them safe from litigation.    The meaning of (lo’ko si tat’o) is referring to a previously cited passage.  Should you decide to bypass them and end up in court they will take your contract and refer to the passages you put in the blank portion.  I knew they had a place in this industry and now I know.
