I've had a little time in the office today, and one thing I've discovered is that a lot of computers have found jobs. The human unemployment rate may be higher than we want, but I haven't heard a single computer complain about being out of work. How do I know they have jobs? Robo-calls. Over a 3...

"I'll make you an offer you can't refuse."-The GodfatherOn June 5, 2017 I published the following content in a blog post.  Although it did garner the coveted Feature Gold Star, I thought it might be worth bringing back as a reminder for all.  It will be new content for any readers who missed it ...

          After reading a “troubling” post this morning written by Margaret Rome, I thought I’d share my thoughts on this topic.  As I read that post, my blood began boiling and by the time I was at the end of the post, I was boiled over!! It made me think about the many unsuspecting agents who ...
