  How many here work for yourselves?

  by Leander in

  2. friends

  some of you may have read some of my earlier posts about my job issues, well i followed the advice that some of you contributed and i'm on my way to starting my own business.

  i have a fairly good strategy that i will attempt to follow but i'm back again for more advice.. my first goal is to obtain a business license and establish a business name.

  tomorrow i'm going to spend a few hours at the library and try to read up a bit on the different ways to proceed with a small business.

  Hi Leander,

  I do web design and freelance writing. I gained a lot of contacts and help by joining my local rotary and chamber of commerce. You can attend chamber "cocktail" hours and make friends with area businesspeople. Take some nice business cards with you and have your business description prepared that you can describe in 15-20 seconds. Sell yourself and make sure you know your business inside and out. For me, creating a freebie website for a small business helped give me more status as an actual working web designer and the word of mouth helped tremendously. Marketing and promoting your business should take up half your time at least in the beginning. Study the competition and see what they use for marketing their business, especially the very successful ones. Create a professional image and be faster or better than your competition to make even more of an impression.

  Good luck!

  AAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW darn it, that's terrible to hear LB. I have a little sheltie that is our baby. She just got sick the other day and I thought we were gonna lose her. They are our buddies and they love us without even thinking about it.

  Cheer up, don't want you to quit posting your wiseass posts!

  How Dogs and Men Are the Same
  
  1. Both take up too much space on the bed.
  2. Both have irrational fears about vacuum cleaning.
  3. Both mark their territory.
  4. Neither tells you what's bothering them.
  5. The smaller ones tend to be more nervous.
  6. Both have an inordinate fascination with women's crotches.
  7. Neither does any dishes.
  8. Both fart shamelessly.
  9. Neither of them notice when you get your hair cut.
  10. Both like dominance games.
  11. Both are suspicious of the postman.
  12. Neither understands what you see in cats.
  
  How Dogs Are Better Than Men
  
  1. Dogs do not have problems expressing affection in public.
  2. Dogs miss you when you're gone.
  3. Dogs feel guilty when they've done something wrong.
  4. Dogs admit when they're jealous.
  5. Dogs are very direct about wanting to go out.
  6. Dogs do not play games with you, except fetch (and they never laugh at how you throw).
  7. You can train a dog.
  8. Dogs are easy to buy for.
  9. The worst social disease you can get from dogs is fleas (OK, really, the worst disease you can get from them is rabies, but there's a vaccine for it and you can kill the one that gives it to you).
  10. Dogs understand what "no" means.
  11. Dogs mean it when they kiss you.

  oral sex

  by lilpumpkin in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  would someone who was a jw all his life (24 years) know he's not suppose to be giving/receiving oral sex?

  is it possible he might not have heard about this rule?

  does it not apply if the person is disfellowshipped?

  I work for myself, sleep in till 10 if I want, spend the nice days at the beach and work on articles at 3 in the morning if that works best for me. I was inspired by many people and especially by two books that helped me see that there are more options available than the typical 9-5 situations.

  i just wanted to share a few things that are on my heart and mind...hope you don't mind reading.

  the church i'm affiliated with has several sister churches around the world.

  the purpose of those relationships is to encourage and help each other grow in our relationship with god and christ, whether it be by spiritual encouragement or physical help.

  Cygnus is in bad shape

  by Cygnus in

  2. friends

  just so i don't miss anybody who is interested.... my results from the ekg and the echogram showed a severe leak in a heart valve.

  i am going for an angiogram on the 15th but the cardiologist says the liklihood is great that i will need open heart surgery.

  rare for a 30 year old but if necessary, it is necessary.. no word yet on the results of the blood work for liver enzymes and hepatitis.

  Are women naturally "Bi" ?

  by refiners fire in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  just a question.

  actually a friend of mine, alex, (who hopefully might read this and commence posting on this board) has been insisting for 20 years that women are naturally bi sexual.

  i laughed at his claims.. but now, looking around here, and based on numerous group chats ive had with women on this site, there seems to be some evidence that his theory is correct.

  I always think of that movie "Somewhere in Time" when I'm vacationing up at Mackinaw Island where they filmed the movie. Funny that it's your favorite Lizard, ever been to Mackinaw Island?
