moreResolved Question: ♥poll What do you think about advertising♥?
I know this is long but please just take the time to read it, If you have time to answer tons of other pointless questions you have time to answer mine.
Ya know what irks me? The way the media takes advantage of it's audience! Like ya know when you go to see a movie and your sitting in the theater and for like 20mins before the movie you have to sit through commercials, Like car commercials,soda commercials and condescending advertisements belittling you because you didn't buy your tickets online! Screw these people with a lawn gnome! I'm so sick of being stuck somewhere watching some stupid commercial for some crap I DON'T WANT!
No wait! It doesn't end at the theater! Its in your computer! No matter what you watch you have to sit through some idiotic commercial beforehand! Wanna watch a short? Sorry, You need to sit through a super powerful adhesive ad! wanna watch a new clip, HOLD ON THERE! Theres a new dog crap remover you need to know about! It continues to go on on and on and on and before you know it you won't be able to walk outside your front door without an ad painted on your sidewalk!!! I don't go outside unless I have to so I'm fine with that...I'm just saying! Advertising has become unnecessary evil, to a certain extent! It helps pay for certain things and helps people maintain certain aspects of there business.
However,When I go to a movie theater and i'm already paying $20.00 for a movie ticket why the hell do i have to sit through commercials!?!?!?!?!?
What are they paying for?? The popcorn? Oh no sorry thats like $8.00,wait! Maybe the ads cover my soda,Wait! nooo...$4.50! maybe,just maybe ill get i special trinket from the movie I just saw oh noo! THATS GUNNA BE $35.00!!!!!
So what it looks like to me is pre-rolled advertising in movie theaters doesn't pay for anything!!! I get no discount, No free candy,No cookies not even a dang taco crumb! I get nothing! All I get is bombarded with crap insulted by morons and taken advantage of by paper pushing idiots!
So anyways, What do you think about advertising? Is it to much or not enough? Your input is wanted!
moreResolved Question: What's the truth about subliminal videos?
I'm aware of positive experiences resulting from making changes to how one feels at a subconscious level. It looked like subliminal videos could be great for people - just sit back and watch and enjoy the benefits.
I thought I'd investigate what's offered. I'm pretty disgusted at the results, which include:
* Very dodgy claims, e.g. they can make anyone wealthy
* The most obvious cheap sales tricks, like buy now to save x% - today only!
* Misleading offers, like claim your absolutely free video (only if you buy a bunch of other stuff)
* Try the free sample - none of which work (unrecognised file formats)
* Watch this online short video (that doesn't work)
* Harvesting email addresses to hit you with loads of their adverts
* Excessive sales talk like dodgy car salesmen trying too hard
* Countless efforts to grab your money
My experience is that honest suppliers of honest products don't use all these tricks - they simply advertise, provide the means to order and pay, and supply.
I looked for a long while and found nothing that seemed trustworthy.
Anyone out there had experience with these videos?
Are there any genuine, trustworthy providers of these videos or what?God is a man-made delusion to comfort and control in equal measure, and has nothing to do with the question!

moreVoting Question: Why do web-sites mis-represent themselves?
Has anyone else noticed how often that web-sites say "Free to Join", when the truth is the following:
The only thing which is "free", about these sites, is to register.
How many people have noticed that, even when a web-site has a page, which, clearly states that "Your credit card information will ONLY be used for age verification". "You will NOT be billed for this visit" Yet, when you check credit/debit card statement, you find that you HAVE been billed, from $30.00, to $100.00, by the web-site.
Is it not openly deceitful, for web-sites to promote "free access", when access is not "free" at all?
Shouldn't web-sites be required to change advertising to say "Visit/Tour is "free", but access will cost (how much).
Shouldn't Age Verification be changed into the more truthful: "Your credit/debit card WILL be billed this amount for your visit, today"?
Why do/are so many web-sites so openly in-correct, or un-truthful, about access fee's.
Why do web-sites offer "free access" when, from the moment that users begin signing up, credit/debit cards ARE, immediately, billed, for this "free access"?
When makes this type of mis-representation any different than a local car dealer, who promises that "This car is a gem", yet it breaks down before the new owner arrives home, and has to pay towing charges?
Any suggestions?

Hey all, has anyone ever tried using one of those Drive a Car for Free services, where companies can advertise on your car, or give you a free car to drive with stipulations, but will also be paid for driving normally. I know that they are out there, but I need a legitimate source... Thanks!

moreResolved Question: Is this a good enough deal, or should I be more aggressive? (Used cars)?
A local Toyota dealership was offering $5000 for any used car as a trade in. My trade in is a 1997 Ford Taurus I would consider to be in poor condition. (Accident free, but heating and air conditioning have both failed. Around 140,000 miles.) The vehicle I am after is a 2009 Toyota Prius with no accidents on record, but 38,000 miles. Kelly bluebook values this at $18,470. The salesman has asked for $19,000 on the vehicle, and despite their add will only offer $4,000 on the trade. I doubt my current car is worth $1,000, so even with this trade, I would be getting a vehicle valued at $18,470 for only $16,000 It seems good on paper, but I am wondering if I should really push for them to live up to their advertising claim. As the trade in deal ends tomorrow, I need to decide soon.
moreResolved Question: Where should we move to..Cambridge Ont, Kitchener Ont, or Waterloo Ont.?
Hi there everyone,
Have a big question for you fine folks if you’re up to it.
My wife Stacey, my dog Ruston and I, Hank are going to be moving in the next month from Winnipeg to one of these new places. Kitchener, Cambridge or Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.
We’ve done some research on these places but would like to hear from actual residents which one they think would suit us better since we don’t know much about the business/personal lifestyles in these area’s.
I guess the best thing to do is tell you about ourselves and tell you what we are looking for.
My wife Stacey has worked in healthcare/secretarial work for over 12 years, has her own online/home business Sunrider http://www.harnessyoursunpower.com She is also big into working out and becoming involved in the fitness field. She recently ran her own “Biggest Loser Challenge” to which the winner received an $1100 jackpot for losing the most weight in 4 months. Her and I currently run an online garage sale type of business where we sell locally to the people of Winnipeg (but will soon change it to where ever we end up) http://www.garagesalewinnipeg.com She is 33 years old and is a very hard worker at anything she sets her mind to.
Ruston is our doggy and is my best friend! He is 12 years old but acts like a puppy. He is a Husky/Lab cross and loves to go on daily walks and car rides. He’s a little human with fur!
Now..me. I’m a professional rock drummer, expert vintage comic book collector and right now, a pizza delivery dude full time. I also run my own Collectibles Research website http://www.youcollectweconnect.com where I help people find the stuff they love to collect. I am going to open an online vintage comic book store in the next while as well and I need to be in an area where I can buy inventory and participate in the comic book/collectibles field. I am 42 years old but my wife says I’m like a little kid and sure don’t look my age.
We are looking more for a city type setting rather than a country place to live meannnning while the out in the country and being away from people may be great for some folks, we are used to being active and up until the wee hours doing things.
We want as close to a large populous as can be, I want to get in a rock band and play around the surrounding area’s, I want to talk to business owners and be around a business district (center) where I can learn more about home business in that city. We want to be in a safer area (where we don’t have to look over our shoulder all the time) and we want to be able to shop after 6pm at night if we need to.
We are not party people but we have a good time when we want to, we are mature, responsible adults who know what they want out of life and are working hard to get it.
Now, which one of these places sound like us….Kitchener Ont.?? Cambridge Ont.?? Or Waterloo Ont.??
We have chosen these places to look because they are very central to London, Toronto, Detroit, New York and many other big places only a short drive away from for our type of home business’s and lifestyles…ie: Shopping for vintage comic books.
I didn’t mean to sound like I was advertising our business’s on here, I was merely putting them on so you could be well informed of who and what we are and what we do. If it breaks a rule we apologise in advance! For once I wasn’t advertising…LoL!
Feel free to ask us any questions and we’ll try to answer in a timely manner between running our business’s, working our jobs, walking our dog and packing..yeah, I know ..everyone’s busy..LoL!
By the way, we’re moving because we rent and they sold our house and we’re really tired of Winnipeg and need a change in all aspects.
Thanx in advance everyone!
moreVoting Question: Is my speech good enough?
The Media and our Body
Images of female bodies that have the 'perfect' figure are all over the world. Women-and their body parts- sell all from foods to cars. Young women are being brainwashed into thinking that the ideal shape means to be skinny,tall, furthermore, being flawless, also known as perfect. ** thesis goes here**
It's not just development that affects self-esteem. Many other factors (like media images of skinny girls) can affect a person's body image too. Seeing these images over and over may lead women to think that their own bodies are not acceptable, leading them to develop unhealthy body images. And unfortunately, such negative feelings can sap self-esteem and set the stage for eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia. Many women will strive for that 'perfect' frame no matter what they have to do.
All the negative influence that the media is portraying as the 'perfect' body are causing more problems then solving them. People are beginning to go to great length just to stay thin, and flawless. An American research group of eating disorder, says, that one out of every four college-aged women uses unhealthy methods of weight control—including fasting, skipping meals, extreme exercise, abuse, and self-induced vomiting. Young girls, too, are being affected to stay thin. But we can stop this!
One of the ways we can protect our self-esteem and body image from the media's definitions of beauty and acceptability is to become a critical viewer of the media that we are bombarded with each day. The media's news about body shape and size will affect the way we feel about our bodies and ourselves only if we let them. So, be aware of the 'flawless' images, the stereotypes based more on looks than on talents. The put-downs of people who don't fit the narrow definition of ideal. When we effectively recognize and analyze the media's messages that influence us, remember that the media's definitions of beauty and success does not define our self-image or potential.
Overall, though its sad to say, media has completely took over our lifestyle. Although, it can be changed, it all depends how we feel about ourself. No one should want to change who they are because the media makes women feel like we have to 'look a certain way' or 'be a certain way'. The media is just words and pictures designed to advertise products and endorse. The harmful messages they send shouldn't be listened too!

moreResolved Question: Local church wants to take my younger brother to their youth group?
A few days ago my little brother grabbed a flyer that was on our doorknob that was advertising a free carnival for kids set up by a Christian Church a few blocks away. He is 8 and I am 16, and I babysit him often, as well as a cousin who is 6. A few days later while driving with both of them in my car they saw the lights and stands in the church parking lot. They begged me to take them down the street to this carnival and my mom said to take them, because they were making a fuss.
When we got there it looked pretty lame. They had very few games and free cotton candy and popcorn, but they enjoyed themselves, even though we were there for less than an hour. Well when I walked in there they asked me to write my name, address, and kids name on a paper so they could mail an evaluation to my home on this carnival. Well today two ladies came to the door and said that they were going to be picking up my cousin and brother for their bible study on Sunday around 11 am and to have them ready! I told them that I don't think my mom will allow that and that we are not non-denominational Christians, we just went to the event because it was free. They then said that they wanted 20 dollars, 10 for each child who attended the event, and that it was only free to families who wanted to enroll their kids in the youth program! I then mentioned that I would have never wrote their names on the paper, I was told it was for a post evaluation.
Well needless to say I told the lady not to come by on Sunday, because they won't be going and I was not paying anything and closed the door. Can I make a complaint against this church or these ladies? They really came to my door thinking they owned my brother!!!
moreResolved Question: Should I take H&R Block to court?
I had a baby in November 2009. Since my boyfriend got his W-2 before me (in January), we decided to let him claim our son and have H&R Block do his taxes so we could get a RAPID refund. The preparer didn't know what he was doing. He ended up opting him out of the Earned Income Credit (without asking), typing in 2 months for the amount of time our son was "living in the home" for 2009 and accidentally checked 'yes' for the question "Did this person make more than $3500 in 2009?". When he was all finished he told us my boyfriend's refund would be about 900 dollars. I thought something was wrong, but didn't say anything and took his word for it. We paid for the rapid loan and we were expecting to get the money on our card within 2 days. I told my mother, who has been doing my taxes for years and never made a single mistake, and she pointed out that we were, in fact, supposed to get the EIC and Child Tax Credit. She got online and printed out the Publication from the IRS's website stating that if a child was born in 2009, you put 12 months, regardless of what month they were born in. They called my boyfriend 6 days later and told him there was a hold on the card and he had to come back up there to sign a paper to take the money off hold. We went back up there and showed them the mistake they made and ask that they amend them. The manager fixed it and gave us the forms to mail out and we asked if we still had to pay the fee they charged us to do this. He stated that we still have to pay the fee because that money is going to them for filing it originally. Yet H&R Block has the "Maximum Refund Guarantee" which states that if they don't give you your maximum refund you're entitled to, the tax preparation is free. We called the headquarters and even they are refusing to give us the money back. We mailed off the amended form and we are STILL waiting to get the check in the mail. We really needed that money to get our air conditioning fixed in our only car, not to mention we have a 6 month old and its 80 degrees outside in Virginia Beach right now. My question is should I take them to court? Why should we have to pay them for something THEY screwed up? I'm really not trying to make a big deal out of this, but this is just ridiculous and not fair. In my eyes, its false advertising for them to make a promise and not live up to it.

moreResolved Question: Is Columbia South Carolina Ready for an African-American Mayor?
Columbia, SC (WLTX) -- Seven of the eight candidates running for mayor gave their vision for the city Tuesday night.
Voters filled a banquet hall in North Columbia to hear from those seeking election for mayor. As each person entered, they had a chance to write down a question of their own for the candidates.
Each mayoral hopeful was given two minutes each to answer a series of those questions. Topics covered included the bus system, law enforcement, and how much power a mayor should have in office.
To finish up, each candidate shared their number one priority if elected. Below you can read some of what they had to say.
"I want to make sure that each one of your children and grandchildren have the same opportunities I had as a child. Our focus on our campaign is clear, we want to focus on, our priorities will be making sure we have a safe city," said Steve Benjamin.
"You want safe, secure streets and homes and you want to know that your money is being spent responsibly by your city government. If you don't have those two things you don't have confidence and you don't have trust," said Steve Morrison.
"Trim the budget, you know, get rid of any unnecessary items. Clean is the crime free neighborhoods, and of course that comes from funding the police department," said Sparkle Clark.
"When I'm mayor of the City of Columbia, everybody will be heard, not everybody will be agreed with, and at no point will an individual "want" overwhelm a collective good," said Kirkman Finlay.
"The first thing we have to do is fix the budget, period. We have no idea how much money we have, we have no idea where it's going," said Gary Myers.
"My priorities are number one take care of the budget and our finances. Number two take care of our city employees. You gotta have city employees who care and want to stay here to take care of you," said Joseph Azar.
"If we can have true civic involvement, and we can make people feel like their government does care about them, and does want to listen to them, I feel like that's the solution. Because right now there's not any money," said Aaron Johnson.
Columbia's elections take place April 6th.

"The first thing we have to do is fix the budget, period. We have no idea how much money we have, we have no idea where it's going," said Gary Myers.
"My priorities are number one take care of the budget and our finances. Number two take care of our city employees. You gotta have city employees who care and want to stay here to take care of you," said Joseph Azar.
"If we can have true civic involvement, and we can make people feel like their government does care about them, and does want to listen to them, I feel like that's the solution. Because right now there's not any money," said Aaron Johnson.
Columbia's elections take place April 6th.

If I were to have the opportunity to run Columbia, two of my platforms would be- placing cameras outside of the homeless centers and photographing, identifying and investigating every homeless person.
Cleaning up the river. Columbia needs to adopt my proposal from fifteen years ago to make use of the Green Diamond property to create a man-made wetlands to remediate the effluent from the wastewater plant. They need to take the many millions of dollars received in water and sewer fees and start treating stormwater during low-flow periods.

I just read this article on the net, and I have one of my own, to add. The "Free Extras" scam.
How many people have been lured to car lots, in recent years, thanks to a post card, or e-mail, which says "Come to our special event, on (date), and (time). Even if you do not choose to buy a car, you may be eligible to receive a Walkman, CD player, cell-phone, calculator, and so on" have found themselves facing very agressive sales-personnel, who get very annoyed if a visitor asks about the advertised offer, without buying an auto?
Did anyone else know about the scam where a dealership will "hold" your keys, as "collateral", until you decide which car you will buy?
I know that the rule of ANY purchase should be "Buyer Beware", but how many people go into the purchase experience, expecting to deal with cons, and scams?
What ever happened to integrity, and dignity?

moreResolved Question: WHAT KIND OF SICK PERSON COULD DO THIS?
ok so this is how the story starts.........
last sunday i notice a add on a classified adds website which was advertising a free car 2008 renault megane only 6000 miles the lot! (sounds to good to be true at this point)
anyway i sent an email with my phone number then about 40 minutes later got a phone call from a lady who explained that the car is her 84 year old mothers who had throat cancer and had 3 months left to live and was on medication and could no longer drive because of the medication etc, i was talking to the lady for almost an hour she told me lots of things about her family even about her grandaughter who had chicken pox, i am convinced she was genuine she seemed a lovely person.
i told her about me and my 3 kids and that i needed a car because i didnt have one and the reason for that was because my husband left in october and took the car and i couldnt offord to buy one, she took pitty on me and told me that the car was mine not only that but she would pay for my inurance and road tax for 5 years untill i get back on my feet (i couldnt thank her enough) she even said they will fill the tank with petrol before they brought it to my house! i was shocked and said "i cannot belive you are just giving me a car"! she said well my mum doesnt need it and she would rather give it to someone who needs it rather than sell it because she is pretty well off and worth almost 9 million £'s (the area they are from is full of very rich people) so i didnt doubt it
i was crying at this point! i told her that it was my little boys birthday the following week and i said how much it will mean to him for us to be able to go out on his birthday (something we couldnt do without a car) he wanted to go to the sealife centre about 50 miles from where i live, she even said "just think next week you will have the car to take the kids to school instead of having to walk"
we agreed that she would drop the car off on saturday (today) and she asked me to email her my address which i did! she replied and said she is very happy to be able to give me the car, the last i heard was a email on monday that said i will call you on saturday morning to arrange delivery of your car, happy driving! they even deleted the add and replaced it with annother add that thanked everyone for their interest but the car had been rehomed!
during the conversation she gave me her mobile phone number which i kept and stored in my phone, i emailed on friday to find out if they had any idea of what time they had in mind for delivering the car (as i had to arrange my day around them comming) when i got no reply from the email i tried to call the mobile number but it said the number was wrong, i tried calling 3-4 times but it just wasnt connecting
saturday morning has come and gone and no phone call, its now 12.41pm and i still havent heard from them and i think that my suspicions of this being some sick practical joke are confirmed, i think it was so cruel what they did, leaving me and my kids to look forward to getting a car for a full week
so unfair! now i have to explain to them that there is no car and i have to tell my little boy who is only 4 that he cant go to the sealife centre now! hes going to be gutted!

moreResolved Question: What is your opinion about Costa Mesa won't enforce anti-solicitation law?
COSTA MESA - The city of Costa Mesa has placed a moratorium on its anti-solicitation ordinance that civil rights groups say targets day laborers seeking employment on public streets.
A month ago, the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, along with the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund and the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, filed a lawsuit on behalf of day laborers challenging the ordinance.The lawsuit alleged that the 2005 ordinance violates the day laborers First Amendment rights and bans "active solicitation" by, of or from people in moving cars and in commercial parking areas that have signs prohibiting such actions.
"They know they are going to lose," said Naui Huitzilopochtli, a member of Colectivo Tonantzin, a day laborer advocacy group. "The day laborers are happy that they settled for the moment."
The city of Costa Mesa has agreed to halt enforcing the ordinance pending a decision by the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeal on a challenge to a similar anti-solicitation ordinance in the city of Redondo Beach, according to an ACLU release.
Costa Mesa officials did not immediately respond to calls seeking comment. Click here for more immigration-related news.
The solicitation ordinance is designed to address conduct that creates a public safety hazard and obstructs the entrances and exits to public streets and parking lots, according to the city.
The city has for years tried to tackle issues related to day laborers. In 2005, the city shuttered a job center, which citizens argued attracted illegal immigrants and wasted taxpayers' money. The center – formerly on Placentia Avenue – opened in 1988 in response to complaints about loitering, traffic problems and unsafe conditions when laborers searched for work on streets and at parks.
In September, police went to five hot spots throughout the city and arrested 12 day laborers for illegally soliciting work in three locations. The day laborers were later deported.
Police Chief Christopher Shawkey said in a recent interview that police received 114 complaints from residents and business owners about day laborers intimidating customers and swarming vehicles prior to the September arrests.
The day laborers were free to be in the locations if there were no violations of the ordinance, Shawkey added. He said the city has reached out to nonprofit and church groups to let them know about the guidelines of the ordinance.
According to the ACLU, the ordinance also stops a wide range of other groups, including small businesses that use handheld advertising on public streets, homeless people who seek donations, people in fund-raising activities and students who try to get the attention of passing motorists for car washes.
Besides asking city officials to halt the ordinance, the lawsuit asks that the city pay damages to Colectivo Tonanztin in an amount to be determined at trial. The suit also asks for reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses of the litigation.

Does BHO get it?
The government is spending more than it is bringing in. And he wants to stimulate purchasing green products and giving tax credits for buying new cars and buying new homes.
Does the government have enough money to keep propping up the economy?
It looks to me like BHO and needs to step back and let the free market enterprise system work. Any stimulus or subsidy or incentives are creating artificial demand and not real recovery. It might be temporary remission but there is no economic recovery.
If there is real recovery, why is the U6 18%? And if BHO stimulus did work as advertised why is he trying to convince us it did?
This isn't a community organization job...anything worth telling ain't worth telling.A government big enough to do everything for you is big enough to take everything from you.
moreResolved Question: Is Premiere Productions Inc. a bait and switch scam operation?
I had an interview with Premiere Productions Inc. for an Event and Wedding Planner position that they had advertised on Craigslist. I was interviewed by one person and she told me that I was perfect fit for the position and company which was odd to me because she hardly asked me any questions about my background and qualifications. The day after the interview I received an email and call from a man named Joshua Komer who told me that the position would require me to pay Premiere Productions Inc. $3500 to $11,000 for their training which they did not mention in their job listing or during the in person interview. Since when do you have to pay a company thousands and thousands of dollars for 12 weeks of training as a prerequisite for a job? I told him that I was looking for a legitimate job and career opportunity.
I expressed my reservations and concerns about the costs associated with their training program. Joshua told me that they could assist me in taking out a loan and line of credit in my name to finance the training. He also made it a point to assure me that I wouldn't have a problem paying the loans off quickly because I would be making lots of money through various internships during the training program. If that's the case then why do I need to pay them so much money in advance and why can't they take it out of the earnings I'm going to make while I'm being trained.
This fellow Joshua sounded like a used car salesman. I consulted a friend of mine who happens to be an attorney and he told me that this sounds very hokey and thinks that they're trying to convince me to take out a loan so that they get all the money up front and will be in the free and clear once I realize that Premiere Productions Inc. is a fraudulent scheme at which time the only recourse I will have is to deal with both Premiere Productions Inc. and the bank to seek financial restitution.
Then Joshua proceeded to tell me that he is currently an Event Producer at Premiere Productions Inc. and was in my shoes just a few shorts months ago, but took a leap of faith and paid for their training program. If Joshua is really an Event Producer, then why is he spending all this time trying to sell honest job seekers on the hopes and false promises of their paid training program when he
should be planning events and weddings as he was allegedly trained to do. I asked to speak to his supervisor and I was told that I would be contacted by a lady named Maria Cook. When Maria contacted me over the phone, I pressed her for more details regarding the training and job. I could not get a straight answer out of her regarding how I was going to get paid while enrolled in the training program. Although that didn't prevent her from trying to coax me into trying to sign a contract to pay them $11,000.
When I told Joshua and Maria that I would not be signing up for their training program they got very hostile and angry. In addition I kept receiving hostile and harassing emails from them for several days.
Is it me or is their job posting for Event and Wedding Planners a good ole bait and switch tactic to get people to pay money to get training for placement into a non-existent job? Am I being scammed, ripped off, and bamboozled by this tag team of Joshua Komer and Maria Cook?There website is www.premiere-productionsinc.com

moreResolved Question: Finding more details about someone given mobile number?
I live in Australia and I am looking for a car. I found a perfect car advertised on a website and all it gave for contacting the seller was a mobile number, which I have called numerous times over the last month and also tried texting to. However I am assuming there is something wrong with the phone as the car is still advertised so I'm guessing nobody can reach the seller. Is there some sort of free way of finding any details about this person, like a name or address? I'm not a stalker, I really want that car, I've been looking for one for months and had no luck but this one is perfect.
moreVoting Question: I'm thinking of running an underground business-could I get away with this?
I'm a student and live in a large college town. I just inherited a cabin out in the country from my aunt. The cabin is about two miles from the nearest home and at night is not noticeable from the main road unless your looking for it.
What I’m considering is opening a bar for the 18 to 20 year old college students, advertised by word of mouth direct invites. It would be run one night a week in said home.
Again, due to the fact that it is far away from the nearest neighbors, barely visible from the main road at night, plus the fact that in the middle of the night, passing cars are few and far between, someone reporting the noise/party isn’t going to happen. A cop could drive by and not notice anything.
I have no conscience objections, because I have a few BAC calculators and attendants would be handing over their keys at entry, getting them back when and only when their safe to drive.
After looking at overhead (Cost of expenses for alcohol, dishes, heat/AC, and electricity) my projection is I can easily make 500 dollars tax free cash profit PER NIGHT. And that’s a conservative estimate.
Sparing me lectures, could I get away with this?
Again, think of this as an exclusive club. Atendents are able to come via direct word of mouth invitation from me ONLY, so no he said, she said, mama said about it. If I didn't invite you, you get to meet the exit door. Ergo, if some wrong person does hear about this occuring, they won't know the when, where and who.
And, last but not least, if I'm caught, I can make a deal with the DA. Lets say I have a hundred plus people drinking underage weekly. I have the power to give up each and every one of them in exchange for dropped charges, and the DA will take my offer. Huge crackdown on underage drinking plus DA's name in the paper can only help him, especially in an election year.
So, your thoughts?

How to sell my car easily? Which is the best website to advertise my car for free?
Coz I don’t want to pay any money to advertise. Are there any such free services available in London OR for all over UK? Some websites I found are horrendous
moreVoting Question: Considering opening a gym.?
I live in Warren, MI. Lots of fat people here, so not sure if anyone will join, but I would think that if there were more smaller neighborhood gyms that there may be a market. There used to be a World's Gym near my house that did very well, until a car dealer bought it and tore it down to build yet another parking lot for cars that don't sell. The old gym was torn down about two years ago.
I am looking at a corner building across from a 7-11 on a main road near bus stops, flower shops, etc.
The building is listed for 175k but the Flower shop owner thinks I can probably get it for under 100k.
I've yet to perform full due diligence, so I really do not have info on set costs such as water, heat, insurance, taxes, etc.
Any gym owners, former gym owners out there with any advise?
The economy around here is sour, but I think I may be seeing a niche. The only other gyms around here are located at a community center 5 miles away and there is an LA Fitness 3 miles away and a Ballys 3 miles away.
I'm looking at something small; more of a nighborhood gym like you might see in a boximg movie like Rocky...not a big fancy "where all the beautiful people go" meet market.,
Three treadmills, a couple Nautalis machines and mostly free wights. I would hope to make most of my money from selling supplements, vitamins, creatine, etc.
PROS: would replace niche vacated by previous gym that was torn down
high traffic area
public parking
building might be affordable and easy to convert into a gym
very close to where I live, wouldn't even have to drive there
have some gym equipment already and experience with sales and how gym memberships work
CONS: In a poorer area- higher crime area
Unsure of potential clientel
Only ran a lawn service before, never ran a brick-n-mortal business (no retail experience)
People around here would rather have a fried chicken then a sweaty workout (can that be changed?)
Unsure of capital costs for commercial gym equipment.
Another thought I had was to negotiate with a local hotel to advertise and sell memberships to their hotel gym to people who live in the area-- I can sell and keep track of members and maintain the gym area, but it will still be open to their guests for free....
Any thoughts or suggestions?
