that location is under water still

I cleaned furnaces and dryer vents for the gas company in minneapolis for some time.

we did a bad job, but only because back then, maybe 5 years ago, they didn't have the equpiment your using now. those who did have it didn't use cameras and saw it was a easy way to make a buck.

4 hours on one job is about right I would think, here it would cost about 500 to 1000.00.

as far as any commecial job, 8000.00 would be my commision, not the price of the job.

duct cleaning is a good thing, as long as it's done right. I have a friend here who went into business for himself about 3 years ago and has got hooked into the .gov work in Mn. he does a very good job.

another thing you may want to offer customers is mold inhibitors in attics, dryer vent cleaning (2nd largest cause of house fires in the US, dryer fires), and you can offer your services to the gas company to clean sutted furnaces. gas companies DO NOT have the equipment to do this the right way. they use a brush and small vac lol.

one tool you do want is a dental mirror. one of those small round ones on a extention rod works best.

another good place to find business is through Dr's who have patients with alergies. thats one of the best places you can find customers for sanatizing duct work and attics, and it helps alot.

ok, I could go on, but I won't. lol

hope you do good with your new venture.

peace and love

does anyone have any ideas on what we or I can do to help the abandonded pets in new orleans? I'm open to any and all suggestions.

I would like to go down there and my biggest need would be places to put animals till they can be claimed. I'm sure I could get pet stores to help by donating food.

the biggest problem will be pets that are never claimed.

let me know if you have any thoughts about it.

peace and love

I am also from the gulf coast, most of what I called home is now gone. I haven't heard about any of my family, good or bad, so I hope for the best and try to understand theres nothing I can do other than go there and try to help out in any way I can.

for some reason I have always had the ability to not get as emotional as most people do over anything. this isn't the first time I've had to deal with hurricanes and their aftermath, or the death of a loved one that was very close to me. I think it's the spirit working inside me to calm me and help me understand.

worry doesn't help, but a small dose of it is healthy. now it's the time to pull ourselves up and show the world we're a nation of giving and careing people.

ask yourself, what can I do to help, then do it.

my prayers are with us all at this time and I do hope that in the end we will be a better place by pulling together as a family and see this through.

love and peace to you all.

I'm not sure how others here got my email, but please stop emailing me. you both know who you are.

thank you

what city?

the magot thing won't work, she's to used to living with them.

:D-->

he's probably under a contract with TWI. something that would stop him from starting another one, and pays well.

I would say shame, but he doesn't have any lol

my son believes in santa, and I know he's real for a face. I'm him, to scotty.

just a note.

faghags aren't women who hang around gay men, their women who try to 'change' gay me into straight men.

why is it everyone WANTS to see bad things happen?

sure, they were a bunch of abusing a$$'s, but it seems to me that you are all falling over that stumbling block.

a great woman once said, if you can't say anything good, don't say anything at all.

merry christmas :)-->

the word has brought me life.

twi taught me not to take it for granted what people say.

win-win

to say fry would mean I enjoy the torment of others. it really doesn't matter what someone else did, I would enjoy their suffereing. I'm not sure God would want Me to be that way.

I don't want to judge anyone based on their works. we all fall short.

lol, my first TWI xmas my wife and I told my mom we were telling the kids there was no santa and no one was getting presents. I think what she heard was, "I'm killing santa and burying his sack of goodies". not something you wanna tell a sacilian mother from new orleans. she set us straight, thanks mom.

and a merry christmas to you all

my 2 cents

I'm sure to pat the fight was more than the use of a name. to TWI thats about all it was.

in the end, pat gave them what they wanted. as far as the 50,000.00, I wouldn't be to sure that it cost them that. it's the same lawyers they've used for about all of their legal battles. by now they've made so much cash off TWI, for all we know, they did it pro bono.

and pat, 'talking' to several trademark attorneys doesn't really amount to anything other than another persons opinion.

what did you gain in the end?

small splash, it was a little pond

:D-->

personaly, I think VP knew it all and used it for his own gain.

the proof is in the pudding

ok, I see. is he wanting to buy the place and can I have a job as a ranch hand? :)-->

ok, I'm slow, why is he staking out the camp?

anger is not a bad emotion as someone here has suggested. it's how we act on it thats bad.

the word says what?

be angry, but sin not.

the tall blonde John.

I agree, one of the nicest people I ever met.

don't you miss all the good times we had with people who were true to heart? there were alot of us there at one time.

god bless them all

they can have as much athority over you as you allow them to have.

back then I didn't know any better, now I do. if something doesn't look right, it probably isn't.

peace and love

didn't want to derail another thread, but I'd like to know the reasons most people left. it seems there are many reasons.

I was asked to leave, but that was about a month after I stopped showing up for twig and wasen't taking phone calls from anyone. they finally sent me a letter telling me I was no longer welcomed.

I guess what I don't understand is this.

why did it take some of you so long to leave? knowing what the word of god says, and seeing what was happening for so long, why would someone stay?

we all know what the bible says about sex out of marraige and premarital sex, it said the same thing when we joined that it says today. one of the biggest things I was told in TWI was to look it up for yourself. it wasen't just the sex, but the bully type people that ran it. how is it that knowing they were wrong, some stayed anyway trying to make the best of it?

I don't dislike anyone here and wouldn't ever tell anyone not to post here, but look back at your time in TWI and ask yourself why you stayed and why didn't you confront anyone there.

peace and love to you all.

I got a email from mark tonight. it didn't say alot other than he was doing fine and looking forward to hearing more from me.

will keep you posted :)-->
