Do you cut your own hair?Do you cut your own hair? I was sitting in Geoff's barber's chair for my quarterly hair cut today at Stone's Barber Shop, and I had a giggle. I was thinking how ridiculous it would be for me to try and cut my own hair.Here is a guy who cuts hair every day. He has the tools. Things like the scissors that are teeth like. Scissors that are normal hair cutting scissors. Motorized hair cutting tools. Combs, brushes, aprons, a comfy chair, and the finish brush that he dusts my shirt off with when he's through. AND, he can do it in 1/2 and hour!Why on earth would I try and learn how to cut my own hair? Why do I need to get all the tools together and keep them sharpened, cleaned an in working order so that every three months or so, I could try and make the hair length o...

Foreclosure List For MAssachusetts - A WebsiteYou can finally get a Foreclosure List For Massachusetts from A Website that was just hatched. MA lawmakers apparently passed a new requirement that all legal notices be placed online as well as being printed in an appropriate off-line publication. One of the issues with the new directive is the cost of placing the notices on websites, and which is / are the correct / best ones to post them on.Enter the MNPA (MASSACHUSETTS NEWSPAPER PUBLISHERS ASSOCIATION), with all their publications, and viola a solution. They have provided an outlet for the public notices which should help anyone find the notices with ease. This is a statewide website which will apparently provide access to all public notices from all newspapers in MA.The MNPA members wil...

How To Sell Your Home This WinterTo Sell Your Home This Winter, there are a number of steps to take to prepare it properly.

My Mechanic Only Works Weekends - Usually - NOT My Mechanic Only Works Weekends - Usually - NOT.  What if your mechanic only worked weekends? Would you choose to have your car worked on by someone who dabbles in car repair? Could you choose to let your needed tool of transport be handled by someone reading a fix-it manual, or watching a Youtube, or asking someone else for advice as they went along? Might you look for someone who has not been to the repair shop more than you have since you last needed service?  Probably not.What about your hair dresser? Would you like to have your hair cut or styled or colored by a part time esthetician? Would you accept someone reading the directions from the package as a color-ologist? Do you want the one with the scissors to have been in the salon onl...

Cape Cod Real Estate Sales By Town - 2014 Graph Here are Cape Cod Real Estate Sales by Town Graphed. There are 15 towns on Cape Cod. They are: Bourne, Falmouth, Mashpee, Sandwich, Barnstable, Yarmouth, Dennis, Harwich, Brewster, Chatham, Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro, and Provincetown.  Wareham and Plymouth would like to be part of Cape Cod, but they are on the North side of the Cape Cod Canal so most people now consider those towns "Off-Cape". There were a combined total of around 5000 properties sold in 2014 on Cape Cod.  The data reported here does not include commercial or multi-family sales.  Of those +-5000 sales, over 3500 were homes, almost 200 were land sales, and the rest were condo sales.   One third of the almost 1000 condo sales on Cape Cod were in the three towns of M...

Falmouth MA Pictures - January 2015 Snowstorm Juno Well, I thought they would name the latest/last snowstorm Bill or De-Flake or something in honor of bashing the Patriots football team.  Instead they named this storm after an Alaskan city - which turned out to be apropos. The pictures below are of main street in Falmouth this morning (January 29, 2015 - Juno).   While other parts of the country this far north get a lot of snow, Falmouth MA is most often spared big snowfalls.  We are usually protected by the island of Martha's Vineyard, the Gulf Stream, and the apparent magnetic pull on storms from Buzzards' Bay. I will say that if we get a storm in Falmouth, just about everywhere else is going to get the storm, too.  The town has done pretty well to get us moving again after the Buffal...
