Delaire Landing Mother Nature Knows!

Delaire Landing is located in the Torresdale section of Philadelphia Pa 19114.It is a Gated Condominium association with 24 hour security. It is a picturesque waterfront  community built along the Delaware River. Also one of my favorite places to take pictures .Here are some pictures I found to be beautiful. They just how mother nature knows when her clock is changing. It is the first and the last day of autumn...We had 22" snow.

on and point a hair dryer at passing cars.

See if they slow down.



2. On all your check stubs, write 'For Marijuana'.

6. When the money comes out of the ATM, scream “I Won! I Won!”.


7. When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot yelling “Run for your lives! They're loose!”.

Joke of the Day: Four Jewish Ladies

Four Jewish ladies were sitting around playing Cards

 The first
         lady says, "You know girls, I have known you
 all for such a long time,
         and there is something I must get off my chest. I
 am a kleptomaniac. But
        don't worry, I have never stolen from any of
 you and never will. We have
        been friends for too long."

  Second of the other ladies
         says, "Well, since we are having true
 confessions, I am a nymphomaniac,
         but don't worry. I have not hit on any of your
 husbands, and never will,
         they don't interest me. We have been friends
 for too long."
 "Well", says the third lady, "I too must
 confess. The
         reason I never married is that I am a lesbian, but
 don't worry. I will
       never hit on any of you. We have been friends for
 too long, and I don't
       want to ruin our friendship."
 The fourth lady stands up
         and says, "I have a confession to make also. I
 am a yenta, so please
         excuse me, I have a lot of calls to
         make.
joke of the day :four jewish ladies

The Virtual Real Estate Brokerage and Office - WEB 3.0

 

Here I go again with another Re-blog.This is the cutting edge. Here are some of the concepts being worked on with my broker owner Alan Stasson at Re/Max affiliates N.E...It is a new concept we are working on.We are not 100% Virtual but it it is new and exciting! It is the new frontier the wave of the future.....You will find us Virually..HelpfulfulHannah hopes to be getting some more great ideas in New York City in January

Thank you Brad Anderson

 

Via Brad Andersohn ~ Community Manager (ActiveRain):

The Virtual Real Estate Brokerage and Office of the Future Today! - WEB 3.0

What does the future Real Estate Brokerage and Office really look like?  If you decide to read on, it may change your perception of what the "Virtual Real Estate World" could look like in the future.  While Secondlife is the Internets largest user-created, 3D virtual world community, and used primarily for Social Networking, eXp Realty has taken this same concept, and created a Business Model where the Real Estate Brokerage and Office is 100% Virtual.  They are using the invisible walls of the Internet as their "Brick and Morter" office.

Their Business Model is defined as "The Worlds First Fully Immersive WEB 3.0. Real Estate Brokerage."

Last month, while at REBarCamp in San Diego, I got to meet and spend some time with Dale Kreiser, eXp REalty's Washington State Broker.  He shared what their company was doing, and how well it was working for them.  When I returned to the office, I did some research on their company and their site.  I was "Blown Away" at what Glenn Sanford - Founder and CEO and their team have created!  Could this really be the Real Estate Office and Business Model of the Future for Brokerages and even the smaller Mom & Pop offices?

Here's a video clip from a discussion held at that REBarCamp in San Diego.  The topic?  What does the Real Estate Brokerage of the future look like?  It's an interesting discussion with Tom Ferry, Stefan Swanepoel, Wendy Forsythe, Sherry Chris, Dale Kreiser and others.  What is the "New" strategy or tactic?  Here's a hint of what you're about to see; The future is HERE now!

I've a strong suspicion that these guys may be onto something here...

     

So I called Dale and asked him for a "Virtual Tour" of their "Virtual Office."  He and Glenn agreed to let me share that tour with you via this recorded video.  For me personally, this was really the next best thing to actually being there.  I felt like I was there.  Now anyone that knows me well, also knows that I love all the new technology that is being introduced to our Industry, but I am also a practical person and want to be certain that this stuff really works.  Don't just tell me it does....SHOW ME!!

This video is a bit longer than I wanted, but I edited out over 40 minutes of some really great stuff I wish I could have shared with you all, maybe another time. I would encourage you to watch the entire thing, I'd hate for you to miss any of this one. Sit back in that comfy chair of yours, relax, and enjoy this first ever virtual office tour...

Is this the way some Real Estate Company's and Brokerages will operate in the future?  Yes, here's one already.  Are these guys way ahead of their time?  Maybe, but after today's tour, I realized that just talking with them about it, and then visiting their website was no comparison and nothing like "virtually being there!"  I had no clue how well this was all put together.  It was nothing short of interesting, fascinating, and awesome!

The Virtual Real Estate Brokerage and Office - WEB 3.0  So tell me what you're thinking at this moment...

HelpfulHannah Previews "Public Enemies" DVD new "video"

Here is a preview of a new "video" DVD"Public Enemies" just out this week.

I am home with a cold and I must say I really did enjoy this movie DVD "video" .

I rented it at my favorite Red Box for $.99  It was well worth the price :

"Public Enemies"

Starring Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Marion Cotillard, Jason Clarke, Rory Cochran
In the action-thriller Public Enemies, acclaimed filmmaker Michael Mann directs Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and Academy Award® winner Marion Cotillard in the story of legendary Depression-era outlaw John Dillinger (Depp)—the charismatic bank robber whose lightning raids made him the number one target of J. Edgar Hoovers fledgling FBI and its top agent, Melvin Purvis (Bale), and a folk hero to much of the downtrodden public. No one could stop Dillinger and his gang. No jail could hold him. His charm and audacious jailbreaks endeared him to almost everyone—from his girlfriend Billie Frechette to an American public who had no sympathy for the banks that had plunged the country into the Depression. But while the adventures of Dillingers gang—later including the sociopathic Baby Face Nelson (Stephen Graham) and Alvin Karpis (Giovanni Ribisi)—thrilled many, Hoover (Billy Crudup) hit on the idea of exploiting the outlaws capture as a way to elevate his Bureau of Investigation into the national police force that became the FBI. He made Dillinger Americas first Public Enemy Number One and sent in Purvis, the dashing Clark Gable of the FBI. However, Dillinger and his gang outwitted and outgunned Purvis men in wild chases and shootouts. Only after importing a crew of Western ex-lawmen (newly baptized as agents) and orchestrating epic betrayals—from the infamous Lady in Red to the Chicago crime boss Frank Nitti—were Purvis, the FBI and their new crew of gunfighters able to close in on Dillinger.
I hope you enjoy the DVD "video "preview

Joke of the Day: As You Slide Down the Banister of Life

 

 

 

 

 

 

joke of the day :as you slide down the banister of life

 

 

 

1. Jim Baker and Jimmy Swaggert have written
An impressive new book.. It's called ........
'Ministers Do More Than Lay People'


2. Transvestite: A guy who likes to eat, drink
And be Mary..

3. The difference between the Pope and
Your boss, the Pope only expects you
To kiss his ring.

4. My mind works like lightning, One brilliant
Flash and it is gone.


5. The only time the world beats a path to
Your door is if you're in the bathroom.

6. I hate sex in the movies.. Tried it once.
The seat folded up, the drink spilled and
That ice, well, it really chilled the mood.


7. It used to be only death and taxes
Now, of course, there's
shipping and handling, too.


8. A husband is someone who, after taking
the trash out, gives the impression that
he just cleaned the whole house.
joke of the day :as you slide down the banister of life

9. My next house will have no kitchen - just
Vending machines and a large trash can..
 
10. A blonde said, 'I was worried that my
Mechanic might try to rip me off.
I was relieved when he told me all
I needed was turn signal fluid.'


11. Definition of a teenager?
God's punishment...for enjoying sex.

12. As you slide down the banister of life, may
The splinters never point the wrong way...



13. Be who you are and say what you feel...

because those that matter... don't mind...and those that mind...don't matter!

Friday Funnies :The Old Lady's Christmas Letter

Christmas Letter

There was a man who worked for the Post Office whose job was to
process all the mail that had illegible addresses.

One day, a letter came addressed in a shaky and writing to God with an actual address. He thought he should open it to see what it was about.
The letter read:
Friday Funnies:Little Old Lady's Letter

Dear God,

I am an 83 year old widow, living on a very s
mall pension.Friday Funnies:Little Old Lady's Letter

Yesterday someone stole my purse.

It had $100 in it, which was all the money I had until my next pension payment. Next Sunday is Christmas, and I had invited two of my friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with, have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope. Can you please help me?

Sincerely,
Edna



The postal worker was touched. 

He showed the letter to all the other workers.

Each one dug into his or her wallet and came up
with a few dollars. By the time he made the rounds, he had collected
$96, which they put into an envelope and sent to the woman.
The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of
Edna and the dinner she would be able to share with her
friends.


Christmas came and went.

A few days later, another letter came from the same old lady to God.

All the workers gathered around while the letter was opened. It read:
Dear God,

How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me?

Because of your gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends.

We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your wonderful gift.

By the way, there was $4 missing.

I think it might have been those bastards at the post office.

Sincerely,
Edna

Tis The Season for Giving - Feed It Forward

 

I do not normally do re-blogging.. but to my surprise I received a gift from Brad Anderson in my Email..It was a gift certificate for $10.00 and I could pay it forward to 30 people a day until Christmas Day

Thank You BRAD ANDERSON

Tis The Season for Giving- I am Feeding It Forward

HelpfulHannah your friend in PhiladelphiaTis the season for giving-feed it forward

 

 

Via Brad Andersohn ~ Community Manager (ActiveRain):

One of our ActiveRain members just sent me a $10.00 gift certificate to go to any restaurant of my choice in my area.  What a nice gesture and what an impression it just made on me. It's not the gift so much as it was the thought that really did count.  Now the fact that the gift was for food REALLY counted because I LOVE FOOD!!

Keeping with the tradition of giving during the Holidays, I want to Pay It Forward "Feed It Forward" to any of you who would like to do this for one of your favorite AR members.  Maybe even a past client or family member, it's your choice. It only takes a minute and will really make someones day, at least it did mine.

Here's the deal:

You can give away up to (30) gift certificates each day up until Christmas Day.  Each Gift certificate is worth up to $10.00 each.  You can give them to anyone you choose. All you need to do is send them an email.  The email comes from you with a personal message, and then all they have to do is register, search for a restaurant of their choice in their area, then print out their certificate and go eat!  Sound to good to be true?  This time it is!! 

Feed It Forward is something Restaurants.com is doing during the Holiday Season and I commend them for doing this, especially in a time when the Country's economy has gone through some major changes. It's also a really nice way to keep the "giving" spirit alive and well.  Check it out, send a $10.00 gift certificate to someone and then don't look back.  It will "Make A Difference" in someones life, maybe yours!

This all reminds me of the time when I paid a $3.00 Bridge Toll for the car driving behind me (a complete stranger) then she ended up paying for the car behind her since she already had her money out, then they paid for the car behind them and so on and so on.  This went on for about 10-15 cars before someone finally broke the chain and put their money back in their pocket, said thank you, and then drove on. 

The very next day, as I drove through the toll booth again, the toll booth attendant looked at me and shouted, "Have you any idea what you caused yesterday?"  For a second, I was shocked, I thought I was in trouble or something..  I had forgotten about paying for the car behind me the day before, and that's when he told me the story about all the people paying each others Bridge Tolls behind me.  He said, "You really made an impression on me yesterday, it's something that will live in my heart forever!"  Nothing feels better than that folks! Nothing!

It feels good to give!  Give to family. Give to friends. Give to neighbors. Give to anyone who has touched your life, but most of all, just give! Who knows, you might be the next one getting an email "meal" from me!?!

Feed It Forward
Happy Holidays Friends!   :-)

Delaire Landing Torresdale Philadelphia The first Snow Day

 

 Today was a rainy day in the Torresdale section of Philadelphia that turned into the first snow day.I could not resist  grabbing my camera and taking a picture of the first snow. When I came back in I realized  I really had not captured the beauty of the first snow. So I went out on my balcony with my flip "video" and captured the huge snowflakes falling down. I live in Delaire Landing Condominiums in the Torresdale section of Philadelphia Pa.I am also a resident Real Estate agent in the development. I have been Listing and selling Real Estate for over 25 years..I hope you enjoy this short Flip "video" of the first snow flakes of December.
