I have been reading a lot about using a flat fee listing service as opposed to a realtor, to sell a house. Do you all have experiences/advice/opinions on this topic. It is a lot less money - and it puts the house on the MLS and through 30 websites including the big ones. You are left to determine price and put up with buyers and their agents - and maybe get a real estate attorney but you save $$$$$.

This one is in the Publix plaza at Indian trace and Weston Rd.

Leone's is the name and it is close to the Ace Hardware.

I think it is my new favorite pizza in town. Went with my family and my in-laws and we all agreed that the pizza was excellent. We did not order anything else on the menu so can't comment.

Everyone there is very friendly. She mentioned that they were doing a pretty steady carry-out and catering. Forgot to ask about delivery.

Give them a try! I am curious to see if others like it as well as we did. ]]> Service, Retail and Restaurant Reviews happygilmore http://www.westonstateofmind.com/forums/showthread.php?9895-Excellent-new-pizzeria-Leone-s http://www.westonstateofmind.com/forums/showthread.php?9894-Illegal-immigration-is-not-a-new-problem&goto=newpost Mon, 30 Aug 2010 15:29:50 GMT Native Americans used to call it 'White People'....but those white people didn't expect the Native Americans to feed them or clothe them or provide free medical care. ]]> Incoherent Political Rants pks2141 http://www.westonstateofmind.com/forums/showthread.php?9894-Illegal-immigration-is-not-a-new-problem http://www.westonstateofmind.com/forums/showthread.php?9893-iPAD-app-sites&goto=newpost Mon, 30 Aug 2010 10:39:21 GMT My wife has an opportunity to get an iPAD for free.

My family ate at a new Restaurant on Wednesday, Campania. It's located on N. Commerce Parkway by the Hotel. It was suprisingly good and reasonable. Especially using the coupon for $10. Off. I had the Balsamic glazed Salmom. Absolutely delicious. My husband had tilalpia frances. Also very good. They portions aren't huge but with the side of pasta or veggies. It was enough.

Never had any bug problems. Until recently, over the past few weeks.

I noticed in our kitchen near the wall with the window, little (I can't bring myself to say it...) baby roaches crawling around periodically, maybe every two weeks or so. Maybe 8-10 of them. The flyswatter makes short work of them. Obviously, with the babies comes a mama somewhere. I must admit some sense of glee as I dispatched them to Roach Haven or wherever they go.

Is anyone else having a problem with this? Is it the weather? I've been taking the garbage out to the can each night. No dishes in the sink or on counters. Garbage disposal fully crunched and flushed. I've been vacuuming Messy Bessy's crumbs daily (my mom).

Yet all of this debt is endangering the status of our country. We may even be endangering our AAA credit rating. Obama is spending us into the second tier of existance and truthfully, I don't believe he will be happy until we are a third world country.

This may be why he is so eagar to not do the job of the government and protect us. If this were not true, why would DHS not prosicute those that are here illegally and in custody?

Just another sign that Obama will do what ever it takes to do what he wants.

My AC is getting on in years even though it is currently working well and will continue to do so. If these deals look good enough, it might be worth replacing them. I'd like to have an idea of what the tax and rebate deals are before I call out the AC sales guys.
