I did pick up a book of all the documented historic hotels that are supposedly haunted so maybe I will try again. <br /><br /><br /><br />I thought it was a shame that the driver didn't have fingers available. Most likely the guy needed to be following some seatbelt laws but that cop did sound like a A-hole. <br /><br /><br /><br />Doesn't the T-shirt guy look totally clueless??

Although, I think these people are real estate agents, not Realtors, they are still working on 100 percent commission. A really low commission at that. I have never heard of a Realtor working for less than 50 percent and most would be getting 70 percent or more. <br /><br />THEN to have a broker come up with this stupid idea to tie commissions to something like a tattoo. I would want the extra commission money but I wouldn't put a permanent tattoo on myself. If I did it and that is a big IF....it wouldn't be in a place that was readily seen.Cheryl P.http://artofbeingconflicted.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740338215172190519.post-66020381623140632452013-05-04T08:29:04.342-05:002013-05-04T08:29:04.342-05:00It's strange how people react to situations. ...It's strange how people react to situations. As the real estate agents go..15 percent per transactions would add up if they sold many houses but what is the point? Who even notices a small tat on someone's ankle? I wouldn't want to work for a company like that. The commission needs to be higher without any jumping through hoops.<br /><br /><br />On the plane deal...I read the police report and the guy didn't do anything other than be rude about the drink order prior to the bathroom incident.
