Out of line, into people search
Forgive me if I'm out of line here, but am I the only one who doesn't understand why it seems like most of the people in the world (or at least my neighborhood) don't seem to get that we're in a global climate crisis???!!!??? I'm flipping out here. My family is the worst about it. No, not Bob and the hubby - they're both on board, and doing everything they are able to do (reducing, reusing and recycling... and Bob even bikes mostly everywhere now instead of using his car - which is awesome). But back to my family! We were at my parent's boat this weekend, and the thing they were saying were just driving me c-r-a-z-y. They need to see "An Inconvenient Truth," but they refuse because they're Republicans. Oy. Anyway, enough of my ranting. I've got some serious person search stuff to get into with all of you today. First off (or I guess technically 'second off'), we need to address the topics of background checks. More people need to be doing more of them. They are a great and totally underused tool people can use to protect their best interests... in business and in personal situations. Lastly, the hubby and I have decided to move. We are in a huge house, and we want to save some money... so we are going to go back to renting. It's a big decision, but a big decision that will save us over 15 grand a year. So, we're going to go for it, for now. Also, moving will mean we won't have such a long commute to work, which will mean we can ride our bikes and start driving less. Speaking of which, I was looking for some advice online about the whole thing, and found this great article about finding a REAL Realtor. I had no idea there was a difference between someone who is authorized to sell you a house and a Realtor... but apparently there is. Check it out!
