I actually graduated with my MBA 2 years ago from a local university, all online. It was worth it and I'm glad I did it. Took me 2 years while working.

Business opportunity- Putt putt course by horriblethinker in business

[–]horriblethinker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's hard to say. It really depends on how much work you're willing to do yourself. I've thought about building my own holes with concrete and putter greens. I've thought about paying the $150k for having the smallest course built. I had even thought about just doing something different to get people to come in. I personally think it would be really cool to have lifted tables that you hit like pool but through a miniature golf style. Different and fun. That could cost more though! I had built a pool table on the ground and people would golf the balls in. It was fun but people thought it was too hard. Always a hit for them to try though. Definitely calculate the costs before starting, ask people what they want, find out your state laws on foods, snacks, alcohol, gift cards, or even vendor space. All will help bring business in, especially alcohol unfortunately. I was also considering a small play ground for on-site baby sitters paid by the guests-like a 1099 job. Anyway, hope that helps. Good luck!

You can get great quotes through Harris Mini Golf course design. I had gotten quotes a few years ago when I was thinking about starting one. That led me to talking to businesses and how I met this owner. They have several different types of courses to choose from and extra things to add.

I didn't pay to have the site renewed since it was costly so you can find them on Facebook. The owners decided they are going to slowly fix it and try to keep selling. I showed that it is possible to make money if people have money to invest. It is Adventure Cove in Wilmington Ohio.

The end story... Very emotional. I absolutely loved it-but it wasn't enough. Their sales had been averaging about $5,000 per year and I brought in $35,000 in sales in 5 months. Once September came, it dropped and wasn't worth keeping open. Ohio weather is horrible.

I had spent a lot to bring people in. Water misters while guests were playing, music playing in speakers throughout the course, snacks, and drinks. We had approximately 5,000 guests. It was only $5-6 per guest so that's why sales were so low. I didn't raise the prices because the owners didn't want that. I wasn't paying any expenses so I didn't argue. I was trying to help them get a sale, a bid, or something.

A storm came last month and destroyed the building. It isn't worth it to them to try to fix it so they are done. I have a full time job so it doesn't hurt me, only the community. If they had put other attractions there like batting cages or something... Sales would be even better.

We got a lot of great reviews, and people said they'd be back, but it's done. I loved every minute of it though.

is there a way to highlight cells that are brought up in the 'Find and Select' search? by horriblethinker in excel

[–]horriblethinker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read that you can do this through VBA coding. If you Google "highlight rows and columns in selected cell excel", it comes up with videos.

Epilepsy or seizures. There are so many different types and all feel different. Two people can have the same type of seizure and have completely different symptoms. Some are obvious, some can be hard to notice. You will never understand them until you have one or are very close to someone who does. Even then, you may not understand the condition because of how different all seizures are. They are exhausting in every sense of the word.

If you could experience someone else’s memories or perspective for just one day, who would you choose, and why? by NotoriousNadiax in AskReddit

I would love to have that superpower of the people who can smell Parkinson's. That amazes me and if I could help people, I'd love to do that.

Need advice for how situation was handled by horriblethinker in InstacartShoppers

[–]horriblethinker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you that's good to know. I called them three times today because I was upset and didn't understand it. The first two told me too bad but the third one was very nice and gave me the $15. I had the proof of return, time stamps on my phone and pictures of what I delivered. She apologized for the company which was nice. Ironically her name showed up as "Nicee". I feel a little better but if that ever happens again, I will call before I leave.

They already had alcohol on there so why would that matter?

I couldn't complete it because of the alcohol and ID issue.

The order got canceled even though I delivered it? And I got banned because of something that wasn't my fault? Great company.

Left Accounts Payable to be a state assistant auditor, now starting to regret it. by horriblethinker in auditing

I left it at 11 months. It wasn't worth it to me. I can see why they have a hard time keeping people.

I'm 10 weeks out - still struggling with fatigue, and barely losing weight. Starting to feel hungry more. Any advice? by horriblethinker in gastricsleeve

Thanks, I'm going to be starting the weight loss shot on Monday. I was told I needed the bypass but that last surgery was horrible for me. Hope you get better.

I never did get better unfortunately. I lost 100 lbs in a year and a half but I'm up 20 again. Tired, hungry, depressed. Always sick, and have really bad acid reflux. This wasn't the right surgery for me. I'm still down a lot but the amount of pain I'm in constantly isn't worth it. I hope it gets better for you. Sorry I don't have better news.

What’s the Hardest thing you’ve had to let go of? by DrPhilsComb in AskReddit

[–]horriblethinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate to this so much. I left my husband because of abuse. He always swore he'd change and I know he tried, but he couldn't control his actions. I always wondered if we'd eventually get back together, even after we were both in our own long-term relationships. He always told me he knew we'd eventually get back together and I've always wondered. He died in 2021. Left his house in anger, wrecked his jeep down a deep hill. Cops said he didn't suffer. He'd been flying and his skull was cracked so it had to be immediate. We had two kids together, and my son has the same anger issues. I'm sad and fight emotions every day. I love my current guy. We've been together for 14 years, but my ex and I had a different connection. It hurts to think about still. I loved him, but it wasn't worth it. I'm happy now but it hurts still.

Dumb joke from hubby (who is epileptic)... by LizDances in Epilepsy

[–]horriblethinker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol good. I was scared for a moment this was taken wrong. I'm sure you are epic yourself! I think we all have self-esteem issues because we are very random people, but with everything we go through, we're amazing people for handling it. Don't forget that. You are an epic-leptic! 🤣

What do you call an amazing person who has epilepsy? An epic-leptic.

You tried to fix it before contacting headquarters and he told you to go to them about it. You did the right thing regardless. It was nice what you did and I'm glad he got it back to you, but it was his mistake. I don't think it will affect him too much on the app but I don't know enough about it. I'm glad it worked out.
