Guerrillamail

We’ve all experienced it — you know — you’re surfing the web, you come across something that interests you, you want the information or freebie, but it comes with a cost. It asks for your email address. In today’s world, that’s almost like asking for your social security number or driver’s license.
A free and easy solution is to get a temporary, disposable email at sights such as Guerrillamail. Basically, you visit the site, it creates a temporary email address for you in one click, and you use it instead of your real address. For example, if you wanted to check out an email newsletter, view a whitepaper, or download a file, you would get and use the temporary address, receive the confirmation email, get your goodies and be done. The email expires after 15 minutes.
If you find it was a subscription or service you really like, and now trust, you could go back and subscribe using your real email address. There are dozens and dozens of these services but Guerrillamail is a popular one. Check it out at http://www.guerrillamail.com.

Enjoy our May 2010 News you can use, Sincerely, Laura Glass Laura Glass 903-433-0222 Laura@LauraGlass.com Twitter Unless you’ve been holing up in a cave somewhere, you’ve probably heard of Twitter. Now, whether you think it’s a total waste of time, or the best thing to come along since the wheel, one thing is clear: Twitter has become a nationwide phenomenon. For those of you who think Twitter is just for narcissists who tweet about what they had for breakfast or what they’re watching on TV, think again. Tweeter may not be for you, but it probably does more than you think. In fact, Twitter is fast becoming a leading tool for instant, real-time search results; it’s used to monitor developments on something you care about; it’s the fastest way available to get news updates; it can be used to add a new event to Google Calendar; you can ask questions and get quick answers; and, of course, it’s used as a communication device to stay hyper-connected with family and friends. Maybe you already have all the productivity and communication tools you’ll ever need, there are many to choose from. But, Twitter may be worth a gander. Check it out: www.twitter.com. Much good work is lost for the lack of a little more. ~Edward H. Harriman How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains! ~John Muir Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference. ~Winston Churchill But make no mistake: the weeds will win; nature bats last. ~Robert M. Pyle Reason is our soul’s left hand, Faith her right. ~John Donne We give up leisure in order that we may have leisure, just as we go to war in order that we may have peace. ~Aristotle Never miss an opportunity to make others happy, even if you have to leave them alone in order to do it. ~Unknown   All of the biggest technological inventions created by man – the airplane, the automobile, the computer – says little about his intelligence, but speaks volumes about his laziness. ~Mark Kennedy Penchant Definition: [PEN-chunt] — Inclination; decided taste; a strong liking. Example: Ben was a dreamy little boy, recalls Hiddy, who always thought her brother’s penchant for reveries might lead him to become an artist or a great philosopher. Question 1.) Which state’s name means “homeland”? a.) Georgia b.) Hawaii c.) New York d.) Pennsylvania Question 2.) In George Orwell’s “Animal Farm,” which animal takes leadership over the other animals? a.) Dogs b.) Horses c.) Pigs d.) Sheep Question 3.) What 1980’s band had a hit with “Take My Breath Away”? a.) Bananarama b.) Berlin c.) Oingo Boingo d.) The Police Question 4.) What 1974 movie about an outlaw couple made Steven Spielberg a promising film director? a.) Escape to Nowhere b.) Duel c.) Firelight d.) The Sugarland Express Question 5.) Johann Strauss, Jr., Beethoven and Mozart all lived in which city? a.) Munich b.) Prague c.) Salzburg d.) Vienna Trivia Answers: #1. b.) Hawaii; #2. c.) Pigs; #3. b.) Berlin; #4. d.)

No Internet!

No internet!

The internet has been down since yesterday! Lightening struck a tower and widespread outage. The tower’s are now fixed and still no internet. Speed of Light it is imperative you get this fixed immediately! As a paperless Mortgage Bank, we cannot function without internet. It’s times like these the good old days were the good old days! As I write this blog on word and hoping that, the internet comes back up so I can post.

Lot’s a good marketing material coming my way soon from First United Bank Mortgage. Flyers, post cards, etc. focusing on Realtor’s, Builder’s, Prospects, and Clients. We try to stay in contact with our Clients on a monthly basis, either through e-mail or through mailings. Kinda in your face marketing, but it pays off with referrals.

I am now on hold with Speed of light trying to get answers to why we still have no INTERNET! Grrr……………

Call me Sherman if you need a Refinance or Mortgage. I will gladly assist you!

New Construction Loans and The 4th of July in the Park

Four new loans in my pipeline for construction to permanent financing.  Haven’t seen these types of loans for a long time. Maybe the economy is picking up! People are building and buying houses. First United Bank Mortgage finances from interim to permanent financing. So much easier on our borrowers when they have one stop shopping. Thank you, First United Bank!

The Kinsey Group (realtor) is doing a great job of Marketing the Bridges of Preston located in Gunter. The Bridges of Preston is a beautiful gated community with Golf course, Equestrian Center, Country Club, Trees, Lake, and so much more. As people start to purchase the lots and build their dream homes,  many opportunities available for Gunter’s First United Bank Mortgage. For a more picturesque view, I encourage you to read the Kinsey Group’s blog, here’s the link http://thekinseygroup.wordpress.com/2010/04/18/land-for-sale-in-texas/

Still working on the Chamber of Commerce 4^th of July in the park. Wondering why we are getting a slow response to arts, crafts, and business vendors. Hey! It’s free booth space. Maybe the holiday being celebrated over the weekend, more people are going out of town rather than selling their wares. Oh well, it will be a great 4^th in Gunter. Planned events:

Bike Parade

Games

Auction

Live Music

Food and Drinks

Water Slide

Arts and Crafts

Much more

So come join us at the City Park on the 4^th!

Happy Mortgage and go Kinsey Group lets keep the buyer’s coming to the Bridges of Preston!

Thank you April Borrowers

Thank you borrower’s for a fantastic month of April. I love closing nine loans! Hoping they extend 1^st time home buyer tax credit, odds of that are slim. Still trying to out beat my competition in Sherman and Denison. If you or someone you know in Grayson county Texas is looking to purchase or refinance a home, I would appreciate the referral!

Working on the Gunter Chamber of Commerce July 4^th events. We need arts and crafts vendors. We offer free booth rental lots of fun. More on the 4^th events as we the chamber are still in a planning stage.

Back to the phones and filling up May in June pipeline!

Happy Mortgage!
