… Linda Chabucos Gallow, a Realtor in Gainesville, Wisconsin. Gallow’s clients discovered the body of the homeowner in bed, where it had apparently laid, peacefully I presume, for two weeks. That clearly trumps my recent peeing dog story. Congratulations to Linda for winning the award that no other Realtor wanted. My Scream is by Fran-cis-ca [...]

Usually I have no problem. Most of my clients have outstanding taste, and they either have used the services of a professional decorator or they could come pretty close to being one. But sometimes I get “one of those”. I admit, I am at a loss. My new clients have a decorating issue that I [...]

Don’t blame me for showing you this.  Especially if you have kids.  I promise you are going to laugh.  OfficeMax has outdone the dancing elf with North Pole Dancing.  You can change the music, the dance and the scene.  And you can put in any picture you want.   I have been forbidden from linking to [...]
