  The Wayback Machine

  Posted on November 29, 2009 by Diane in 5 life, living

  Fast forward from yesterday. Yesterday I went from posting here to twitter, where a friend asked me, “If you could go back in a time machine to wherever you wanted, where would it be?” I thought this was a cool question. Where would I stop off? I actually spent a couple of hours talking about [...]

  “It doesn’t look like this anymore…”

  Posted on November 28, 2009 by Diane in 5 life, living

  I was looking at the titles on another one of my blogs, and this one popped out at me. It struck me- NOTHING looks like it used to. I thought maybe I was referring to the aging process or something, since I have another birthday around the corner, but it was fall leaves. What the hell. [...]

  Happy Thanksgiving, or don’t cook your turkey on the radiator

  Posted on November 26, 2009 by Diane in 5 life

  When I was teaching art a few years back, a teacher at our school had a memorable Thanksgiving. She spent it out on the front lawn with her family because the turkey caught fire and they actually had to call the fire department. This would have been bad enough, but she lived in a fairly [...]

  The Road less traveled… Business Plans

  Posted on November 23, 2009 by Diane in 1 Central MA

  Ideas have never been my problem. I have always had tons. The issue is sorting out the really good ones from the time-sucks and then continuing follow-through. It is one thing when you are working a 9-5 and there are absolutely clear expectations for you (answer the phone by the second ring or whatever). But [...]

  Real Estate Videos- out of the box

  Posted on November 19, 2009 by Diane in humor, social media

  Thinking outside the box, and in some cases there’s no box at all. The funny thing is- what is startling and innovative today will be commonplace tomorrow. Here’s one that I think less sells the home and more sells the Realtor- which isn’t a bad thing. I fell a little in love with her when [...]

  Trends

  Posted on November 16, 2009 by Diane in social media

  Every once in a while, I check out Google trends. I tend to be hopelessly outclassed when it comes to- oh, I don’t know- knowing what people think is topical. I mean, I was the girl with the red Devo jumpsuit in high school. I was either really edgy, or so far out of it [...]

  For general questions, Press 7

  Posted on November 11, 2009 by Diane in 1 Central MA

  If a Real Estate Company was set up like my doctor’s office you would call and not be greeted either by a real human or an answering machine promising a certain time that you would be called back. You would get a list of options to choose from. “Hi! This is Alpha-Omega Real Estate! Listen carefully [...]

  The Hot Dude Lists

  Posted on November 3, 2009 by Diane in 1 Central MA

  I am getting to like the new lists on twitter. At first I thought, “Oh no. Not another list debacle,” but this is more like a game. There are rules to it, everyone who wants to do it CAN- with the same exposure, it is SO visible. Your lists are right there on your profile [...]
