A dose of trivia

A dose of trivia...


I was just reading a blog here in AR by Valerie Osterhoudt
. I would like to say that she stole my idea for a trivia blog but she never knew that I had the idea. And of course I will not admit to stealing her idea since I have been thinking about it for a while. LOL

Anyway, I love trivia. Several years ago I did some part time work for a guy who hosted trivia games at local bars and restaurants. I did that for several years and when I wasn't hosting I would go somewhere and play. 2-4 nights of my life were taken up by trivia games in one form or another. I guess that I was sort of an Alex Trebek wannabe.

So anyway here is one of my favorite all time trivia questions ...

Chuck Berry was one of the most influential rockers in history. But he had only 1 Billboard #1 hit.

Name the song.

Good luck. No using the Internet. Take your best guess and post it here.

Did you know that on certain nights you can see the international space station or the space shuttle fly over? No telescope or binoculars required.

Over the next week we will have some space station flyovers at reasonable hours. You'll probably be awake, you just need to remember to go outside and take a look.

Here is a link to a flyover schedule for metro Atlanta for the next week.

If you want to see when the space station or the shuttle are flying over your city check out the Human Space Flight website. You can go to your city and state to get a schedule. Be sure to take the kids outside. They'll love it!

I solicited your client today

Dear Listing Agent,

I solicited your client today for your listing located at 123 Oak Street, in Powder Springs. Certainly you will not have a problem with this. Hey, I know that you have the home listed so all I did was just send them my card and contact info. Just in case they may have any unanswered real estate needs.

My business card

P.S. They just called me! Thanks for providing me a lead on this future real estate prospect!

Are you really steamed now? Are you ready to call your broker, the MLS, the local real estate board? Are you calling me every name in the book?

Relax! I wouldn't knowingly solicit your client. We all know that would be considered highly unethical. However, I am 100% certain that you are soliciting clients of other agents. How do I know this? It's simple. The virtual tour that you have on your listing for 123 Oak St, in Powder Springs has your contact information right there on the tour! When my clients and my prospects visit my website and click on your virtual tour they see your contact information!

Do you get it now? According to our local MLS rules and the code of ethics, we are supposed to respect each others clients. Don't put your contact info on your tours!


note: 123 oak st is a fictional address but the scenario is quite real. No agents were harmed in the writing of this blog. :-)

Dave Ramsey's Common Sense for Economy - act now

Dave Ramsey is the host of a nationally syndicated radio show on personal finance and the best selling author of "Financial Peace" and "Total Money Makeover". www.DaveRamsey.com

Dave has put together a simple plan for reviving the credit markets and stimulating the economy. This is all good common sense stuff. It is so simple that the folks in Washington might have a hard time comprehending it. LOL!

Read the article and surf through his website. If this makes more sense to you than shelling out $700 million then there are links there to email your Senator and Congressman. Dave was just on Fox News with Neil Cavuto talking about this. He has had it on his website for just a few hours and there have already been over 100,000 sent!

I have sent this to Senator Isakson and Chambliss, however the service for emailing my Congressman David Scott was busy, so I'll have to try again later.

Dave Ramsey's 3 Steps:

1. Pray for them to resist a spirit of FEAR and to embrace WISDOM. Read the entire article

2. Send The Common Sense Fix to your Representatives and Senators Read the entire article

3. Tell Others Read the entire article

Our representatives know that the people of this country are not happy with the current proposal and its variations. The vote yesterday proves that they will listen.

On the other hand, if you are happy with the current proposal and its minor variations then tell your representatives that as well. They need to hear from all of us and they need to hear NOW!
