I recently visited Class and Trash on  Route 1 in Hanover, VA. I had Clyde on my hip so I don't feel like I got the full experience. I will definitely be back. Here are some pictures from my visit. I took them with my cell phone so excuse the quality. Coffee Table $28. Loved the scale and side design. Thoght it would be cool painted. Dish $6 Tons of Glassware Kid's Chair $16 They even had toys! Clyde was interested but we left it in the store. $18 I liked the size and shape of these trays. Would be fun to paint a bright color. View of the upstairs. I could have spent hours there. It was lots of fun to look and the prices were good. Here is what I took home. White Vase for $6. Framed Painting for $15. Plan to use in Clyde's Big Boy Room.

Building companies going under, builders revealed as fakes, boomers without a clue and another end of the world prediction missed. Had those christian loons bothered to ask, I could have told them there's only one day the world can end - a Tuesday. More specifically, the first Tuesday of the month. The past few months has produced a constant stream of bad building news in Tasmania. The obvious - dwellings built per person and the doubling of an industry inside ten years - has been ignored. Ok by me, because something else has been revealed - shonks, fraudsters and weasels have been cashing in and now they're being exposed. If you've ever taken a cursory glance at Minsky & Kindleberger's bubble framework, you'll know the forth stage is the critical stage. Where financial distress begins to be revealed and this is also the stage where fraud begins to rear its head... NEW-HOME owners are being left with defective and incomplete houses after falling prey to shonky ...

I want to share a serious post with everyone, females especially, but male friends too :) We had a fabulous speaker yesterday at our office meeting... A.J Gwyn ... (Yes, Chris was fabulous too speaking about Chris Jackson Property Inspections lol here's a little shot of him doing his thing... and he already had a new call today! Yay for him! Please click and be a fan of his Fan Page in Facebook if you have a sec, thanks for your support!) Ok back on track,  A.J. Gwyn, founder & commander with the Southern Crime Prevention Task Force  came to speak to the Realtors in my office about safety and what we do. I will admit, he looked exactly like he stepped off Law and Order: Special Victims Unit (which was great because he really grabbed my attention haha). I know most of you reading are not a Realtor (for those who are I am so glad you are reading and getting this info if he did not come to your office!) but this is really for everyone. With the economy being the way it ...

Have you heard of Pinterest? I just discovered it myself. And instead of trying to describe it myself, I will quote the Pinterest website..... "Think Pinterest as a virtual pinboard — a place where you can create collections of things you love and "follow" collections created by people with great taste. People use Pinterest to collect and share all sorts of things -- wedding inspiration, favorite T-shirts, DJ equipment. You name it, people are pinning it." Anyway...it is great. I often find pictures on websites that I want to save as inspiration and just bookmark it but then the favorites list gets so long and sometimes when I go back the link it doesn't work. This way it is all in one place and can be organized. If you are already a member...follow me here . And if you want to be a member, they have a waiting list but it only take 2 or 3 days to get an invite.

You might assume this job gets easier. The numbers of houses on the market continues to rise, buyers continue to get lost on their way to open homes and real estate interests continue to bleat and rattle the tin. And on the case of vested interests - my last post regarding Brockman Resources - I was a completely vested interest in that story, however there was one slight difference between myself and the real estate goons - I already knew the gig was up. Blind Freddy's deaf, dumb, blind and anosmia suffering cousin, Eddy, would have figured Wah Nam had the numbers for majority control. I just figured it made for an interesting story. Game over there, now back to regular business. Does this get any easier? Not really. When it's completely obvious that something is amiss in housing, smarter people than me start turning their attention to the subject which makes me look a bigger idiot. Never mind. Just like Charlie Sheen, I have loyal fans and can continue on in syndication foreve...

So I didn't have time today for a "real" bloggy post, but I did want to share this... I just watched this youtube video that I saw from a friend post on Facebook and literally think it is the greatest thing I have EVER watched... So sweet! What's even better is after the video, I was reading the comments and one guy wrote "all men from this point forward are f*cked" hahaha pardon the french , but that is funny! Love this video. A must see! Don't forget to pause my playlist so you can watch the video! Happy Tuesday Friends!
