Snowbirds - Is it Seasonal Human Migration? Did you know that some researchers suggest that "snowbirds" who travel to warmer climates during the winter, display patterns of seasonal human migration?  This practice can be traced back to colonial times, when "Bostonians" would travel by sea to South Caroline, Georgia and Florida. The word "Snowbird" offers many definitions.  For instance, Snowbird is a Ski Resort in Canyon, Utah.  It can be associated with travelers visiting from the north to soak up the sun in the south.  Full time residents often view snowbirds as an annoyance because they're perceived as driving like maniacs when they arrive.  They clog up the roads and highways, especially during the holiday season. The word Snowbird reminds me of a song made popular by Anne Murray.  ...

 Single Women Home Buying Tips  Buying an Existing home: When buying an existing home, some people, both men and women, wonder if they know enough about matters such as plumbing, heating and electricity. A real estate agent is helpful in giving preliminary advice, but the buyer has an even better authority to back her up. Home inspections today are thorough and done by certified inspectors. If there is a problem with any aspect of the home, it must be corrected before the sale. If the home is a foreclosure, it may be sold in as-is condition and at a bargain price, but the inspector will still provide information on all systems. Buying a New home: Home builders will be eager to talk with you. Women are getting the royal treatment from builders. Housing market watchers say single women ha...
