I posted New Internet/ Real Estate Scam in February after a REALTOR(R) friend informed me that several of her listings had been “stolen” and posted on Craig’s List by a man in Nigeria.

Today I mourn the loss of my 20’s and celebrate the birth of my 30’s. I’ve never been afraid of growing older; I’m just not a huge fan of growing up. I don’t want to live in a world where I can’t have a moonbounce at my birthday party, or one where I can’t dance crazy-like at a […]
