    What are your thoughts on Morals?

    In a previous thread I was asking about the legal issues of copying a product that I saw in another country. I think morals sort of became a side issue and I thought it would be an interesting discussion. People talk about having good morals but what does that really mean? At the end of the day...

    What do you think of this idea

    IDEA 
    I just had a thought pop into my mind and I am trying to figure out if it would be a waste of time or profitable. The idea is a service that doctors would sign up for to receive magazines.

    Is there any way to track this?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I get a lot of people going to my website and filling out the contact form. When I get the email the form is always blank ( which I assume they just did not fill out anything) but I can never get the email of the address it came from. Is there a way to see who is filling out the forms?

    Re-purpose for Safe to Handle

    So I think I found another way to sell me product. I sold a few to the local Chinese restaurant. They are using my product to wrap around the handles of the wok's they cook with. It just goes to show you how much you sometimes have to think outside of the box.

    I can't wait until Friday

    OFF-TOPIC 
    How many times have we heard this? I find it interesting that people are all programmed to look forward to the weekend and not the whole week. I ask people who say this " why are you rushing the week away and your life?" People are willing to push 5 days of 7 out of the way for 2 days. That's a...
