Twitter Blog on Hiatus

Thursday, 05 March 2020 by Cathy Turney
Hello, my chickadees. You may wonder why I haven’t blogged about Twitter for quite a while; Twitter needs to get its act together.

Tuesday, 04 February 2020 by Cathy Turney
I recently read a disturbing article in the San Francisco Chronicle, which reported that over half the homes that sold in the Bay Area over the past year were not offered for sale on the Multiple Listing Service—they were private sales. A homeowner mentions that he plans to move, word carries, and before he knows

New Year’s Resolutions 2020

Saturday, 04 January 2020 by Cathy Turney
I don’t make New Year’s resolutions for myself—just for everyone else. Starting from the ground up, I begin with Nutty and Bosco, the two nearest the ground. Trouble is, I think they’re making some resolutions, too. The first indication surrounds food service here at Chez Poodle. Cooking is not my thing (i.e., “Do you really

Twitter – Why? Why? Why?

Sunday, 15 December 2019 by Cathy Turney
October is National Self-Promotion Month (really!), and there is no less expensive, faster and easier way for journalists and bloggers to promote themselves and get their writing before thousands of eyeballs than Twitter. “My Twitter followers have helped me grab the attention of powerful influencers, got one of my stories 30,000 reads on the story-sharing

Wednesday, 11 September 2019 by Cathy Turney
Some men will do anything for their wives. If it involves car parts. Mine made me a rocker cover racer. Do you know what a rocker cover is? If not, we could be BFFs because I was once like you, and oblivious to the theory of natural selection, to wit, that Austin Healeys are a

Do You Have What It Takes To Be A Realtor?

Saturday, 03 August 2019 by Cathy Turney
“Normal” people often ask me, “Cathy, could I make it if I’m not genetically predisposed to being a Realtor as you were?” Heredity did play a part in my career default choice, but that’s not to say that you can’t succeed famously if your path is more circuitous.
