Joke all you want about raising rats, but the company I buy mine from for my snakes, is a multi million dollar operation. They supply most of the major pet store chains with pre-killed frozen rodents around the country.

My last order was over $200.00 for assorted sizes. They're shipped overnight on dry ice. It's a serious operation.

Forget all animals.. these parrots are already enough... they yell, bite, and one can't stop repeating his name.." PONCHITO!" " PONCHITO!" " PONCHITO!" " PONCHITO!" "COME HERE!" "COME HERE!" "COME HERE!" "COME HERE!" "WHAT THE MATTER WITH YOU!" "WHAT THE MATTER WITH YOU!" "WHAT THE MATTER WITH YOU!" "WHAT THE MATTER WITH YOU!"

PLus I have 3 boys at home, they count as animals... NO ANIMALS!!!!

I miss people and the smell of sweaty men and the occasional bossy receptionist...

I can relate if you would drop the sweaty men, and add "bossy receptionist in a tight sweater". :rolleyes:

I gotta tell ya Rick, that feeling you're having soon dissipates after a few months. Working for somone else sucks, with the exception of tight sweaters & office parties.

I think you should hire your own secretary (with a dress code...sweaters only) & get yourself a mindless hobby. Buy a metal detector....or, if in fact sweaty men is your bag, then join a gym.

That kinda takes all the fun out of it, dosen't it? Your snakes a little squeamish to kill their own?

I can put a tight sweater on the wife...

When I went into business, I went into it for 2 reasons, my ex is a mess so I got full custody of me kids, which has been great, and my current wife got sick and is bed ridden....

I'm a worker bee... I need a hive!

Rick,

Serious suggestion. Open a part-time sign making and design school. Lots of human interaction, interns that will PAY for the knowledge, catered lunches paid for by the school.

Just my suggestion.

Open a software company if you want more time online and less time with the family. It works for me...

I worked for a guy who did that.. in fact he was in Buena Park (thats where I'm from) It was a mess, some people had no clue how to use a computer, the hardware was supplied by a company and was not quite ready, and the class could only go as fast as the slowest person... it was like herding cats.

We could open a cat ranch.

Don't laugh. Hear me out. I've got an option to lease 40 acres of land nearby. It's all fenced in and ready to go. We stock it with 100,000 female cats and enough males to breed them all. The annual yield should be around 1,000,000 cats a year. The market for cat pelts to fur lined glove manufacturers is 90¢ a piece ... so the gross should come in around $900,000.00 a year.

The problem that plagued me for years with this proposition was, "What do you feed these cats all year when you only have 90¢ a piece to work with?" Then it hit me. It was so obvious!

We run a fence down the middle of the property and put all the cats on one side and stock the other side with about a million rats. Nobody cares about rats and they breed ten times faster than cats. So we feed the rats to the cats and solve that problem.

The only other problem is what do you feed the rats. They don't produce any revenue. Then it hit me. It was so obvious!

After we skin the cats for their pelts, we have their carcasses leftover.

So we feed the rats to the cats and the cats to the rats! We end up with 1,000,000 pelts a year and move to easy street! And we haven't even considered the franchising potential.


:ROFLMAO:..I have not laughed that hard in awhile..there are enough strays running around that it could work...

OMG that's hilarious... i love the little parts, like where the guy is using a lint roller, winding the ball of yarn and the guy that sneezes!!! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
I think GG is lying she has Hubby and 2 grown boys for all the sweat you would want.JR
actually it's three boys and a husband, but none of them work with me.
i sooo wish anyone one of them did!

what i had in mind was working with men, getting sweating in the shop...
wasn't thinking i'd be do their laundry afterward.

I think you and GG should just come to Florida and work with me for a while. What the hell... bring Jill too! I promise plenty of sunny weather, sweaty men, youth with loads of ideas, good food and margaritas... no pay but LOTS o' FUN! Let me know LOL
NOW THAT SOUNDS LIKE A WILD GOOD TIME!!!!

Hanging out, working and getting sweaty with Signgal, Jill and Rick..... hell yeah,
you wouldn't have to pay me to do that!

love good food!
love hanging with people who've had one to many margaritas!
(none for me thanks... i love being IN control when other aren't)

i just have one question... will there be candy?

I don't want a cuddle! I want a freakin' place to work where there are people! if anything I want to have real arguments, get pissy, and put my head down and work while hearing the gripping (and crappy music) of my fellow coworkers!

To bad I live in the sticks, in Orange, San Diego and L.A. they have co-working places where you can rent a desk, or an office and work around other creatives and professionals without the expense of a complete office... that would work... but all the ones I checked into are too far.
