Top 5 Reasons Daylight Savings Time is Pointless:

  • You have to remember to change the darn clocks. All of them.
  • Screws with your brain and internal rhythm. All of a sudden we've "lost" an hour, and now we have to go to bed earlier! Just when I'm starting to get used to it, it's time to change the clocks again.

We've noticed the past year, agents are going to extreme measures to try and  market their homes. We're not sure how successful they were,  but the tactics definitely are good for a laugh.

Real estate agents in Canada are enticing clients with  booze. Prospective buyers of two homes that were recently on the market were  told they got to keep $1,000 worth of beer in the fridge if they signed the  dotted line.

Americans consider “home” the best place to watch the Super Bowl, Century 21’s “Big Game Survey” of more than 2,800 adults reveals.

When buying a home most of us consider residential neighborhoods with traditional homes. Few would consider the idea of converting nonresidential structures into homes but there are those who are more adventurous. The range of unusual structures is broad; from grain silos to old fire towers architects have stretched their imaginations to create truly unique homes.

Boarding an airplane, one expects to travel somewhere.  No one expects a plane to remain firmly on the ground or to be home to its owner.  In Benoit Miss., after an ice storm destroyed her home, Joanne Ussery along with the encouragement of her cousin, took a decommissioned 727 and converted it.  With an investment of thirty…
