Bullshit.

This age of Ultron feels too familiar. Let me guess, they'll find a way to re-do time and no one will have died.

Two days to go until the series finale. It's been a fun ride.

After Ned, it's pretty clear that no one is safe.

Everyone should know by now, don't look at Carl funny. He's been sitting in the corner glowering like Batman since he shot his Mom. In life, there's people you just don't mess with.

That was the best episode on the show that I can remember. I was hoping it was a sign to come, and then the show regressed back to mean.

So Square only allows you to manually deposit up to 2k a week, and if you do more than that, they hold it 30 days? We get approvals over the phone. Last week, we had at least 10k in approvals over the phone. That might not be good for me.

Maybe one could point to Blade as a rated R superhero movie that did well. Those movies only made like $150 million apiece, but at that time, those were Marvel's first financially successful movies.

I have that issue (the paper version).

With Square, if you use Visa/MC, your total fees are 2.75%, or is it that +~3%? I can eat 3%, but not 6. There are times of the year (namely December and January), or certain jobs (like for charities), where I work at cost.

Only the good shows seem like an hour is only 15 minutes. When the screen went to black, my initial thought was that I furious that HBO opened with an episode that only went 15 minutes. Then I looked and saw they went the full hour. Only Sopranos, The Wire, Mad Men and Breaking Bad give me...

Every one of these guys saying they won't be back, will be back for sure.

A few times a week, the order changes. Today, a job went from $500 to 1,500 because the customer decided to add more work when the crew was working. You are right, that might be an issue on an Ipad. What I've heard of people complaining about is on the actual estimate. If you need to draw/do...

Someone was telling me about an app where the Estimator writes up the estimate on the Ipad, it gets stored online, and is processed. The customer goes online and approves the job (so they can't deny they did later), you get their email info for newsletters, the crew leader can pull up the job...

Ow. Are mods allowed to insult people's mothers around here? I think you should infract yourself.

Peter Dinklage is leaving the show? GoT just sent me an update on FB. Must be an April Fool's Day prank. edit: definitely a prank after I read the article http://hbowatch.com/peter-dinklage-april-season-four/

Any advice here? We've always done cash and checks only, but I think it's time to make the leap. I'd like to be able to swipe the card from a smart phone. I know jack about this. I'm assuming you pay Visa/MC 5%, and then another 3% to the company that handles the phone transaction? That's a...

OK, we take the first week off of each month from TV, and 30% of calls today came from TV. That's surprising.

And those customers that have been showing up all the time, I'd definitely call them.

Are you kidding me? Carl is the only one that is taking the zombie apocalypse seriously, and he was right about not letting people go. Every time Dad took a chance, it backfired on them.

Nice.

LOL, you said that the last two seasons.

OK, that was a heck of an opener.

OK, that makes more sense. I was thinking you are taking vacation already, and shutting down. Someone's got to answer the phone at all times.

??? How dangerous it is to open a new store and shut it down for a half a week. Why not just get a gun and go play Russian roulette? Someone has got to be minding the store at all times. If you are trying to cater to higher income people, you need to learn this now, they want you...

Holy crap. Caliane pointed this out in another thread, but Batman: Brave and the Bold, Batman Beyond, Justice League and JLU are now on Netflix streaming. Apparently Green Lantern will be also. No more low def rips with crappy audio on these.

Wow, thanks for the heads up. I've been trying to let my kids see all the eps, without torrenting them. You just made my day.

It's funny, I've been all over the place the last few days also. I've had tons of people over the years thank me for sharing my perspective on running a business (either in a forum or a PM), but at the end of the day, this helps me more than anyone. It is so easy to get store blind. I've...

This thread is always good for me, because it condenses down what I need to do. Based on the above post: 1- Hire at least one new skilled guy (I just got a good one a couple of weeks ago) 2- Expand to the 6pm news 3- Cut radio, other than NPR it's been a disaster 4- Establish a good...

I've been so "store blind" that I haven't been paying attention to the numbers. We've had lots of little problems and some big ones. The rain/snow has made us miss 15 days this year, which at this time of years, is about $35k in lost sales. We've made up some of them on Saturdays, but I'm not...

Remember to work on the business and not get "store blind." That's why a lot of businesses never grow past a certain point. You seem to be having a lot of success on CL (which I think tends to cater to a lower demographic than what you are looking for). So, if you are looking for something...

You might be a little different as a franchisee. You have a brand name that is recognized. It's hard for most small owners, until they build up repeat clientele and positive word of mouth. You are twenty three months ahead of pace for most. It's like in the business I own, I've had...

Since you are moving ahead of projections, what else can you do advertising wise to move the needle? I know it's nuts, but whenever I'm ahead, I always reinvest in the business for future growth. You are doing great, considering most businesses open and don't see a customer for weeks. But...

And it's another catch up night, so no new episode.

Just put your earbuds in and walk away. I never talk to anyone until the workout is over.

I can't stand CL customers. Since we are a service business, they try to get us to work for like 10% of my cost on their jobs, and tell me I should thank them for that. If it's working for you, great. But I don't think CL is good for service business.

I'm skeptical that this will be any better than the first. And I used to love Wolverine as a teen (like we all did).

Bid on in-show memorabilia here. I'm only looking for ass raping gear. http://www.vipfanauctions.com/starz/

I always thought the Yellowjacket beating his wife was as intentional as Tony Stark drinking whiskey. Stuff like this gave another dimension to the Marvel characters back in the day.
