Things People Put on Facebook

The things people put on Facebook make me laugh out loud - for real, I call out to my husband Todd every night to put the TV show on pause and come look at this.

If you are not on Facebook, you're missing it. 

What are you missing? Well, how about news about water line breaks and the giant 186 foot industrial structure that went through South Tulsa from Broken Arrow or a good recommendation for someone to trim your tree.

I love the funny videos and the story with pictures of my neighbors, like Terri skydiving with her 85 year father. That was a hoot!

Another great attribute of Facebook is the GROUP feature. Some neighborhoods, like Chimney Hills Estates and Hoover Neighborhood have formed their own private Facebook group. 

That means that the only ones approved to post and view the posts are residents in the neighborhood or other invited guests of the group. 

Why just the other day, someone posted that they lost a dog and someone else posted that they found a guinea pig. Hey, we're neighbors... we watch out for each other.

The result of all this is that your neighborhood of strangers can suddenly become a neighborhood of friends. 

Just like the old days - except it's on Facebook.

$30 Rebate for getting your furnace checked...

Jerry Banker with Banker Heat & Air just told me this morning at a business networking breakfast that ONG is giving a $30 rebate to homeowners when they get a 26-Point Heating System Checkup. The check up runs about $65.

What do I know about heating? Not much.

I know when I'm cold and when I'm hot. I know that I have to bug my husband about changing the filters. That's about it. I also know that the furnace is in the attic... and that's creepy. So we just call Jerry.

Just look at that picture! Who would want to mess with that unless you know what you're doing.

Jerry advertises in the Chimney Hills Estates neighborhood newsletter. (Thanks Jerry!)

If you have a heat and air guy that advertises in your neighborhood newsletter or any other professional, let me know. I'll make sure that we support them in this blog.

We thank all the advertisers that support our neighborhoods! If you want a check up from Jerry, call 918-695-3118. He will fill you in on the details.

A proactive natural gas furnace checkup could save money and energy, reduce carbon emissions and promote a safe and comfortable living environment.
