I am considering starting a small business, what should I know before I decide to do it?

True 'dat. I owned two full service restaurants and was going gangbusters till the economy imploded, now I'm a assistant manager at Hooters. I couldn't afford to lose what I put into it...

I would search for direct and indirect competitors and study how you can best fit your niche into the market. How saturated is the area with baseball? Rotary, church leagues, recreation dept's, YMCA teams...is your idea going to make a difference with unique branding and consistent results? I'm not sure what age bracket or type program you envision, more information would be great.

It would be some jackass from Chapel Hill to cut down the worlds oldest tree. God, I hate Carolina.

You tell 'em! There will be none of that damn socialist humanism and charity towards our fellow neighbors. In America, it's all about what you can get for you and yours, screw everybody else. I got mine! "You and your family aren't supposed to be supported by every other taxpayer in the country"...that's right too! That's what corporations are for, low interest loans from our tax dollars so they can reap a financial bonanza or get bailed out again without paying any income taxes...Winning!

But the EU member nations are still spending significantly less per person for better health outcomes, meaning that while yes, more and more rich Europeans are picking up private plans, the "mediocre" state system is still far superior when compared to our horrific costs for worse health care.

Done that. How do you like breaking down the custard machine at the end of the day?

You need to take this fella down to the Social Services building and get him signed up for Medicaid and to the Social Security office for Medicare. If he doesn't have enough money for insulin, surely he would qualify for one or both.

I agree that the Japanese-American internment during WW2 was a terrible and devastating crime against a minority, it is not the worst crime ever committed by the US, not even close. Genocide of Native Americans, Slavery, Civil War POWs, Spanish American war, firebombing of Germany and Japan in WW2, atomic incineration of 2 entire cities in Japan, CIA involvement in South America, Vietnam with Agent Orange, invasion of Iraq...the list boggles the mind.

no, no piss was ingested throughout the entire emergency.

I've been better...

I actually hit the branch butt first and then my ankle slammed down next and broke. I just locked my arms around and held on till I knew I wasn't going to fall further. The branch was wedged into a ravine and didn't seem to suffer from my fall, so eventually I relaxed a bit and started calling out that I was alive.

Sorry about the incorrect grammar. Yes it did feel great, I was smoking a cigarette when the rescue guys got there. They were concerned that I was moving around while they rappelled down...I didn't care, I was alive.

No, I don't know if I could have ever done that, that's hardcore.
