    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    Pretty much they are telling me is borrow it all or we are shutting it down. I don't want to borrow it all, I just want the option to borrow at a future date. They are supposed to get back with me today, as they are reconsidering it.

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    The way this is structured, they'd rather me tap the entire line of credit now, then to extend an LOC that has been basically untouched. This is what the underwriter told me. I don't want to make payments on an LOC, I just want to know it's there. It's really screwed up.

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    For our line of credit, it was set to implode every five years, but the guy who did my loan said it would be reupped for another five years. Now I'm being told that they don't loan to people not in their imprint, and the nearest bank is 400 miles away. So it's just a a stupid bureaucratic...

    So the college kid has picked up over $13,000 in service fees in his first week. Friday was 2k, Sat was 1, Mon was 5k, Tuesday was 0, and then he did about 5.5 yesterday. We are able to be more responsive in giving bids now, and have less customers griping. I was worried about whether or not...

    Little known fact: his secondary mutation from Pym particles is super pimp smacking. See how she's dressed in a nightie? He sent her out to make some cash on the street, and she didn't have all of his cash. Why do you think he's wearing a bright yellow jumpsuit? If you look closer, it's...

    The reality is that a lot of Marvel heroes are douchey.

    Artist error or not, it's become canon. I remember when I read it as a kid, Iron Man was a boozehound and Ant Man was beating his wife. I didn't know what to think, but it made me stop reading DC's idealized characters that never make a mistake ever. The Marvel characters seemed more real.

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    This guy says it well. Literally, Thor and Superman have the same abilities (except Thor can't move through time, but can teleport between dimensions). Thor can move planets the same as Superman can. The most we've seen Hulk do is cause an earthquake on the Eastern seaboard. Thor could...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    Backing up on your previous statement already? You said Hulk would kill Thor in a one-sided fight, and now you are saying they tie? You should have googled it earlier, since you've never read a comic book in your life. The same could be said of Thor. He can channel all of the power of all...

    I told you, Superman is a dick. I used to like him before this movie.

    There's not much I could do on that. The guys all new it happened, and were looking for a response. Anything less would have been a sign of weakness. He pretty much had become the butt of all the jokes around here from the other guys on the crews.

    Man of Steel

    1% of that means that Superman killed tens of thousands. No big deal. I hope we have an alien invasion right over your house, so you can say it's no big deal.

    The problem is that the guy who was driving it was fired last week. My Secretary was out sick, the phone lines were down, and he waited three days to tell me the phone line was out. When people called in the on AT&T line, it told them that the line was no longer in service, and sent them to...

    So having two Estimators is great. The guys have picked up $5,800 today by 2:30 pm. The only thing is that the young guy is new at it, he is making some mistakes. He offered to pay for one, I told him to let it go. It's going to take ass reamings by the laborers to get prices correct. They...

    Anyone watching this? I saw it a little the other day, didn't even know it was on.

    JL: The Flashpoint Paradox.

    I liked the movie better than the comics. I was salty over the crossover, because they told us beforehand that it would lead into another retcon/reboot of the entire universe. As far as the violence, I had to keep my kids' eyes covered after the first decapitation. My seven year old...

    True Blood

    No one even posts on this show any more. This last ep was horrible. For only three eps left, this season has been one of the worst I've seen. Let's be honest, I haven't liked this show since season one.

    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    Building awareness is still important, especially when starting up, regardless of industry. And then there's the whole cannibalization of sales that was mentioned earlier.

    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    I have yet to do any couponing, and I've got about 300 customers looking for bids as of today. Do things to raise your awareness first, do sales promotions later, imo. I may run sales promos later in the year, during our traditionally slower times, just to keep everyone working (and avoid...

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    It's been great. With two Estimators, I can step back and do some planning. We picked up $9k today, and only 800 of it was mine (call in from a bid I ran the day before). All I did was train today (I hired four new employees this week). As far as the gate goes, they lawyered up, so we are...

    You guys were right. I found a college grad that had like a year experience in our industry. Actually, his tryout day was horrible, as he possessed none of the skills he claimed. But something told me to try him out at estimating. Apparently, he had enough experience to be able to accurately...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    Everyone knows Batman would kick Superman's ass with his superpreparedness. I just thought I'd get that out on the table, so we can get to our eventual 50 page argument over this. This was just the warning salvo, a shot across the bow, if you will. This movie is going to be like porn for...

    In the Extremis comic storyline, a person that has the fully powered version of it is shown to be super powerful. In that storyline, one fully powered Extremis being was able to nearly kill Iron Man in just a few pages. The writer of the movie really didn't convey how powerful Extremis was...

    If I had the right people, I could triple the company. We just expanded two other cities. I moved our trucks to be more centrally located, so we can get to those other areas. Also, working capital is an issue now. I've bought $45k in equipment and am spending 10k a month in advertising...

    Black Panther (2018)

    Marvel and DC know comic book sales are down, and they think lack of diversity has to do with it. So, in order to make someone more popular, they make them more powerful. Focus on good storytelling, and people will support your product. Honestly, I'm a Black Panther nut, but my favorite...

    I'm thinking that this was after the Doom Wars, where Doom convinced the Panther God to turn on Tchalla, and eventually retires him for some time. His sister took over.
