I got up at the wee hours of the morning today to put out some handwritten signs advertising a deal that one of my friends just got under contract. I put about 15 or so out (only took me 22 minutes, btw), and then my phone BLEW up with calls. I'm not kidding. Here's a little sampling of what the majority of the calls sounded like......
Me: "Hello, this is Stephani..."
Juan Valdez: "You speak-a Spaniiish?"
Me: "No, sorry..."
(mumbled voices in background)
Juan's lady friend: "Hello? You speak-a Spanish?"
Me: "Um, no...."
(more mumbled voices in background)
JLF: "You have house for sale?"
Me: "Yes..."
JLF: "Busch Gardens???"
Me: "What?"
JLF: "Busch Gardens???"
Me: "Okay, bye."
And that was pretty much how it went.
My favorite call of the day, however, came from a lady who spoke fluent English. The call went as follows (and I'm not making this up):
Me: "Hello, this is Stephani..."
Lady: "Hi, I'm calling because I saw a sign for the investor special for fifty-nine thousand nine hundred dollars..."
Me: "OK, the address is 1234 Main St."
Lady: "How much are you asking for it?"
Me: "Um, fifty nine nine."
*****Long pause ******
Lady: "Five thousand nine hundred??"
Me: "No, fifty-nine thousand nine hundred dollars."
Click.
Good times.
P.S.
Does the font on my blog suddenly look ginormous, or is it just my computer?

LMAO! Five thousand nine hundred?? Yeah, your font does look a bit bigger.
Any idea how to fix it? I tried last night but couldn't figure it out.
$5,900.00.... Sounds like my calls. I like daybyday was laughing.
Probably something in your dashboard Steph. Not exactly sure...
You have gotten quite a following huh??? That's awesome!!!!!!!
Buenas Notches Seniorita Stephanie:
YOUR BLOG FONTS ARE GRANDE!!
otherwise et hermosa blog.
Adios, Flipper
Gracias Señor Bruce.
Buenas nachos. Hehe
That was hilarious. lol
You can change you font in the dashboard when you're editing your blog. Just highlight everything and make the font smaller. Is that working for you? Hope I helped.
LMAO, aren't those the best calls?
Font Changing
At the top of your main blog page, click on "Customize"
Then click on "Fonts and Colors"
When the page reloads, the first thing you should see on the left, near the top, is a drop-down. The first selection in the drop-down should read "Text Color"
Scroll down and you'll find "Text Font"
Click on that and the area to the right will change and you'll see "Font Size".
Under that is <Smaller Larger>
Cheers
