November Market

WELL, now YOU finally hear on the National News and our Local News Paper that the REAL ESTATE MARKET IS IMPROVING! We've been telling you that for months! Buyers are buying and sellers are selling...and it's just not foreclosures and shortsales!
The listing inventory is falling...which means less to choose from. Interest rates are still fantastic...WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Selling? Time to put property on market...BUYING? Be prepared when the perfect property hits the market!
Congrats to all my Associates for ANOTHER awesome sales month!

Performing Arts Center Needs YOUR Support! Please join us Monday @ 6:00 p.m.

Re: Performing Arts Center Public Meeting


Myrtle Beach City Council

Performing Arts Center Public Meeting

6:00 p.m., Monday, July 11, 2011

Rooms 206-208, Myrtle Beach Convention Center

How do you feel about adding a performing arts center to the Myrtle Beach Convention

Center? That’s the subject of a public meeting at 6:00 p.m., Monday, July 11, in Rooms 206-

208 at the Convention Center. City Council is hosting the meeting to hear from the public, prior

to any decision about a winter referendum on possible funding for such a project.

Plans are in place – but not the financing – for the performing arts center at the Convention

Center. As proposed, the facility would include an 800-plus seat theatre, a “black box”

performance space, a rehearsal hall, lobby art gallery, dual dressing rooms, back-of-house

scenery and construction space, restrooms, concessions area and box office. The public is

invited to comment at 6:00 p.m., Monday.

City Council recently has considered the possibility of a winter referendum on funding for

such a performing arts center. If Council ultimately schedules a referendum, voters likely would

be asked whether they favor raising property tax rates by approximately three mills to repay up

to $10 million in bonds to build a performing arts center. For an owner-occupied home with an

assessed value of $200,000, a three mill increase would be an additional $24 per year.

You'll NEVER look at a Wal Mart greeter the same!

WAL-MART SENIOR GREETER

You just have to appreciate this one. Young people forget that we old people had a career before we retired......







Charley, a new retiree-greeter at Wal-Mart, just couldn't seem to get to work on time. Every day he was 5, 10, 15 minutes late. But he was a good worker, really tidy, clean-shaven, sharp-minded and a real credit to the company and obviously demonstrating their "Older Person Friendly" policies.



One day the boss called him into the office for a talk.



"Charley, I have to tell you, I like your work ethic, you do a bang-up job when you finally get here; but your being late so often is quite bothersome."



"Yes, I know boss, and I am working on it."



"Well good, you are a team player. That's what I like to hear.”



“Yes sir, I understand your concern and I’ll try harder.”



Seeming puzzled, the manager went on to comment, “It's odd though your coming in late. I know you're retired from the Armed Forces. What did they say to you there if you showed up in the morning so late and so often?"



The old man looked down at the floor, then smiled.



He chuckled quietly, then said with a grin, "They usually saluted and said, ‘Good morning, Admiral, can I get your coffee, sir?’”







Happy 4th of July everyone and thank you to all of you that have made sacrifices in the past and to those who make sacrifices today by serving our country so that we can live in the greatest country on the face of this earth.

Who am I?

I am your constant companion.






I am your greatest helper or your heaviest burden.


I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.


I am completely at your command.


Half the things you do, you might just as well turn over to me,


and I will be able to do them quickly and correctly.


I am easily managed; you must merely be firm with me.


Show me exactly how you want something done, and after a few lessons I will do it automatically.






I am the servant of all great men.


And, alas, of all failures as well.


Those who are great, I have made great.


Those who are failures, I have made failures.


I am not a machine, though I work with all the precision of a machine.


Plus, the intelligence of a man.


You may run me for profit, or run me for ruin; it makes no difference to me.


Take me, train me, be firm with me and I will put the world at your feet.


Be easy with me, and I will destroy you.






Who am I?






I am your habit.
