Did you know that you should NOT use flourescent light bulbs with dimmer switches? Not only does it burn them out faster (three bulbs in one week – according to the homeowner who called the Liberty Corner Fire Company this evening)…but it is a potential fire hazard! My husband, a firefighter with the Liberty Corner Volunteer Fire Company in Bernards Township, came home from a call and said, blog it: Energy saving flourscent bulbs (the energy efficient curly ones as well as the straight tube ones) can be a fire hazard when used with dimmer switches.

This is a question that only YOU can answer! The $8,000 tax credit sounds very appealing – and it certainly is a GREAT deal! Especially while prices are still low and interest rates are still manageable. Owning your first home is a big step, and of course it is going to be a little stressful going through the process – finding a house, making an offer, feeling confident while negotiating, understanding the paperwork, writing the checks – but it should also be fun and exciting. Iwant you to sleep at night – or not sleep because you are excited but not because you are worried sick over it!
If you are feeling like the people in any of these videos, it is time to contact me.

The Liberty Corner Fire Company welcomes it’s newest addition:
Measuring 47 feet long, weighing 40 tons, and boasting a 100 foot high LADDER:
Until now the fire company had to rely on the Lyons VA Medical Center or the Far Hills-Bedminster fire company when there was a need for a ladder truck. The Lyons truck is about to be decommissioned, and waiting for a neighboring community may waste precious moments when help is needed.

How many of my blog readers are using Twitter? I have to admit that I am still somewhat skeptical. Facebook? Easy – I love it, and I’ve reconnected with so many people from my past. It’s a fun place to “hang out” when I need a brain-break during the day. I see both social and business uses with Facebook and it’s easy to use. Look me up at facebook.com/JBlanchardHomes.
Twitter – that’s a different story! TweetMe, TwitterLater, Mr. Twitter, Twitterhood, Twello…there are so many offshoots – and I find it confusing! Should I make my profile private? (What good is that?) Should I make it so I have to manually approve follow requests? (I want it that way – I don’t need every Tom and Jane following me!) But, I haven’t figured out how to do that without making my profile private and I WANT to show up on the public timeline – otherwise, what’s the point? I consider myself pretty technically adept – however, when it comes to Twitter, I feel like a twit. Wait, I think that’s twitter lingo for someone who tweets…!!
Anyway, follow me at twitter.com/JBlanchardHomes and maybe you can help me figure it out!!
