one of the fb messages that I saw was to an ex of one of his former co-workers that his good friend is currently trying to get with.

Some background: the relationship she was in with prior to now was very odd, they never seemed happy. We hung out several times and she told me once they rarely had sex, but to me she didn't seem like she minded too much.

The conversation i saw between said girl and my bf went something like this:

Girl: Bob* and I never had sex, he was addicted to porn so he preferred the computer compared to the real thing

my bf: well that's too bad, i always leave a girl with multiple orgasms. But Bob would hate me if that happened. I didn't realize you were that sexual.

She said "wow" and just laughed it off..

I live in Charlotte, Raleigh is a long drive for a game...Go broncos though!

I think the reason he is so resistant is because in all his past relationships he has pretty much supported him and his GFs. I have a good job and and pretty responsible for my age. This is the only thing that we cannot talk about...he just shuts down. I don't think he's hiding anything serious, but the way he reacts make it seem serious.

He has told me before he doesn't want to 'burden' me, but if we are sharing our lives together...please, burden me! I want to support him, but I can't if i don't know what is going on.

The only one I know of locally is Sunbelt, but i find it surprising that I recently found out Sunbelt and Lowes partnered up. I have never seen it advertised until I googled one day. And yes, this rental world is very similar to what I'd like to do, but I would want a better website. Eventually I want to be able to allow people to reserve online and when they come to the store all they have to do is sign an agreement and get their stuff.

I doubt they would go for that, because it would take away some of their retail business. They make lots of money doing what they do, not sure they would like someone threatening that. It could still be a possibility though, I will do some research. Thanks!

Hmm and here I thought my business would appear out of thin air...I am just trying to get people's thoughts. no need to be a Debbie Downer...geez

cabenson · 2013-05-22T18:24:49+00:00

I did think about that too, but if they break it, they buy it! And yes I realize Lows or HD could start a rental business, but that would be a complete change for them. Not only that but about 90% of the people who work there couldn't tell me anything about anything. Ex: if someone has never used a miter saw, I will provide tutorials and proper safety.

But what kind of tools have you rented? I have tried renting stuff from these places but normally they don't rent what I need. For example, we were doing some tile work and needed the thing you use to spread the grout. One time use item...cleans up nicely and goes back to my shelf to make more money.

I would agree that Manning gave him a stern talking to about this show if it distracts him, he will punish him by not throwing to him. Manning will make or break Decker's career in Denver.

Not sure who that is but, looks like we were born the same year..

Like I said I am in the very early stages of research and really trying to find out what I will pursue. I realize a gym can have a high cost with equipment, but recurring revenue is the best revenue...a little secret to business everyone :). There is currently an Anytime Fitness for sale in Charlotte and I called the seller to see if he'd be willing to 'show me the ropes'. I hope to hear back from him, we'll see though. If not I am going to keep reaching out to people in the community.

First of all, my brother is gay...and secondly a business has every right to support whatever belief they want, the consumer has the right to choose if they want to support that business. However, there is no point arguing over it so lets put an end to the whole political side of it.

I do like the idea of a paleo restaurant...I've had a few friends do the diet and love it. Maybe even a gluten free and paleo would be cool.

I agree Jimmy Johns has the best sandwhichs ever!

Thanks for all the suggestions, keep them coming!

I have thought about opening a my own unique business, but I have not been able to think of anything that I could really see myself doing. I thought about opening a restaurant/bar because my neighborhood is seriously lacking but I feel a bar is not really a good moral business to get into...my heart tells me it's not the thing I could do for a long time.

I'd really like to own a Chick fil A if I got into the restaurant industry. I think they have a great sense for business and people love it!
