Ya"ll are now honor bound to make sure she wins. I"ve reposted the breastessess from earlier for those of us that haven"t read every page of this thread (or re-read the first page).

Our nerds are getting whupped right now.

This thread has been great for me - since I still can"t tell anyone in my personal life that from Jan 1 to June 30 of 2009,we"ve done $478, 805 in sales, and $183,175 in profit(and that"s after I made some adjustments downward for net profit, and donated almost 20K to local charities). Friends...

Is anyone else going to post some memorable moments?

I don"t know that I am a great boss to work for. I remember what it was like to work for some pricks, so I try to not be too much of a prick. My secretary just told me that she"s going to kill the guys if they keep fussing at her. They are liking their checks (my Foreman and other crew leader...

I"ve found it to be the other way (but of course, I am still new to owning my own business). The middle class customer started dissappearing towards the end of Nov, was totally gone in Dec, and starting calling towards the end of Feb. For about seven weeks, at least 80% of the sales came from...

Nice line of thinking. It is definitely one that I struggle with - how to add new services. We are going to do about 110K in sales this month, which is the most that the eight employees can handle. They are working 12-13 hours a day, six days a week right now, and that is too much. I"ve now put...

This is the entry that I pulled from wikipedia last year when I was looking for recession proof businesses. My wife worked for Careerbuilder, and they sent this post to everyone in the company. They were told to target these types of businesses and to try to sell them job postings/HR services...

So things slowed down quite a bit in December and for all but the last week of January. We weren"t clearing ten calls a week from customers on estimates. I lost alot of sleep worrying about the crews and if they were getting enough hours to make ends meet. Towards the end of January, calls...

I am thinking we are seeing several douchebag/pedovibe posters regaining access by using Millie as an excuse to get back on these boards.

Maybe we can change the focus of this thread and go from one power mad mod named Millie to another power mad mod named Tuco. BRAEN, QUIT CHANGING MY POSTS!

E tu, I mean. One day, maybe we"ll be able to edit posts in the shaw.

Et tu, Tuco?

This is nothing but a trap by Req, Rav and Millie to engage in the Great Retard Purge of 2009. When the bans start flying, its gonna be so epic that one day we"ll be telling our Grandkids about it. This is nothing but a plot by "the man" to hold us down.

Can anyone mod verify Millie has lost mod priviledges? "Cause this feels like one big trap, ending in 80% of the board getting banned.

I hope so. Sometimes, it only seemed like it was Millie enforcing the rules on all the posters do the pedo thing.

Honestly, Millie getting rid of the whole pedo vibe thing wasn"t bad, and other than the whole sex thing, there were alot of tards that got what they deserved.

I am big believer in personal responsibility, and in this case, it extends to the staff. 1- I constantly remind them that there are 29 other businesses doing what we do. We have to give great service. Last week, when we were bidding jobs, 65% of our final sales came from referrals. They all...

The agent acted sleepy and didn"t really acknowledge it. But the seller flipped out. He said there must be something wrong with the fine print, and then looked over the policy, and still couldn"t find any problems. He had a habit of not looking for competitive bids in just about everything. I...

I don"t want to mess with a start-up right now. One day I do, but for now, I want to go with businesses that have lasted through multiple recessions. I know some business people that go with safe bets, and then start doing other "pet projects." Then if the new start-up fails, they have enough...

I thought I already did earlier. Anyway: 1- We had two people leave. One moved to be closer to family, and another self-selected himself by leaving tools on the job, and irritating everyone else on his crew. When your fellow laborers keep giving constant complaints about you to the boss, its...

I honestly don"t give a rat"s ass about the economy. If I am looking at a business that has been around for decades (and lived through several recessions), and either sells products where customers are price insensitive or sells a necessity, and I can get it for a good price, I am in. Also, if...

For anyone that cares: So I am seriously considering buying another business. I am kind of bored. Between having a secretary and two managers that know what they are doing, I am only working two days a week right now. What am I supposed to do? Play MMO"s five days a week? I am just not wired...

It is more sensible to have it in the "Most Memorable Comic Book Moments" thread, as this thread has become a compilation of the last few decades. Ten years from now, when this thread is still alive, and the discussion on FC is long gone and buried, we"ll still have it here for posterity"s sake.

Now that Booster Gold hops between timelines and realities to safeguard them, maybe he"ll just pluck Batman out. I had no idea that the Omega Sanction was an actual variant on the Omega effect. So they basically picked an obscure comic book, and showed this power of the omega effect there only...

They are in order. Superman"s best friend is Batman, and it looks like he went berserk, and then goes back to get his body. And as far as holding his corpse, for some reason, in all the big DC crossovers, when someone dies, Superman holds their corpse just like that. He did it in Crisis on...

A friend of mine who is a manager at a comic book store (that now has to sell videogames, movies and books to stay afloat) told me that they usually sell out of a comic book that has a movie that just came out. He said that the boost in sales usually lasts a few months, until people get tired of...

With TDK bringing in all those hundreds of millions, I somehow think he"ll be back in time for it.

Now there"s even more conjecture about Batman"s death, and its not something I caught earlier. Quite frankly, Final Crisis has been so hard to follow that this missed me entirely. Apparently the Omega beams can do more than just disintegrate, teleport and resurrect. Newsarama.com : Batman...

I hope you never get laid.

Yes, some people said they wanted to discuss this. I have a hard time believing they"ll kill him off perma, considering TDK just did $600 million+. Who knows, now that DC has a new lantern corp consisting of dead people, maybe he"ll come back as a Black Lantern. Martian Manhunter died in...

There are so many ways for them to get around this: 1- In Batman/Superman, there is a story arc, where Darkseid makes it look like Supergirl is dead. His omega effect can be used for other things, like teleporting. He makes it look like Supergirl has been disintegrated, but really he"s...

the finale

You are right - its already up in screenshots for all to see, and I did start this thread with a huge warning that it would be a spoilerfest. Discuss.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:In FC#6, Batman is seen facing off with Darkseid. He"s figured out where he is, and has confronted him. He has a gun capable of killing Darkseid. He shoots Darkseid with it, but not before Darkseid fires his Omega effect. A few pages later,Superman comes back...

I"d link the pics, but I am not sure how to put the scans in a spoiler tag. I don"t believe the ending to Final Crisis #6, but we"ll talk about it in a few days after people have had a chance to read it. There are so many flaws in what happened on the last page, it isn"t funny. Nothing of...

There is a 0% chance would post a link to my site on FOH. As Tuco has reminded me, there are too many psychopaths on this board, and I have NDA"s with some of the wealthier clients. Tuco"s already told me that I have gone in too much detail, and that I should sanitize my posts of any personal...

So the new Internet strategy is starting to take off. We aren"t seeing a drop in sales like the rest of the economy, because if there are less calls coming in from other customers, we are getting more calls from people that solely use the Internet. I think in today"s economy, if you own a...

It may be different in your town, so don"t give up. Most of the time you are going to need a ton of cash ($100K in cash equivalents), but like I said, two of my friends have been able to make a good living starting up for less than $1k. To be honest, you better hit the nail on the head for...
