when I got bit by a dog in the woods, a hot nurse shot about a quart of immunoglobulin into the side of my leg.

I had it put in the back of my hand. Man, that stuff is like liquid fire going in.

For anyone pissed off about the PhotoFuckit ransom issues lately, apparently there is a workaround which reported works (for now). Here's a link: http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/aust...ket-issue.html

Full disclosure: I have NOT tried it.

If you think about it, knocking is just punching someone's door until they decide to talk to you.

I am seriously considering putting in my 2 weeks notice sometime soon and jumping into MKTurbo full time. The thought of it scares the **** out of me, but being my own boss sounds so appealing.

Awful big jump to make...

What do you envision this business being 5yrs from now? Gross $$? Margins? Maybe there's an easier business to become "the boss" in. What's your income target?

That's what I was thinking too. It seems to me that expansion into NC, ND, and perhaps even other makes would become necessary to maintain volume over any longer term. The R&D would be costly.

I want a million in sales in my first 10 years. That is the only real goal right now. I honestly am not planning on doing this full time for forever, probably just the next few years. I want to get it up and running in a way that I can be at a point where it takes 10-15 hours a week to run smoothly and ship quickly. Then return to IT full time once I get past my burning out. I have a few other ideas for businesses I would like to do that I will probably start up during this time also. I am thinking if I can get 2-4 side businesses all bringing in money it should be more then enough to live off reasonably.

I do have longer term plans for moving to the NC and ND. Not sure any sort of ETA for those, but I am thinking about it. I also have some other things I am working on to bring better products to the market with MKTurbo.

Does it generate enough cash to pay for your own insurance and retirement savings?

Would get on my future wife's insurance once we get married. That should be within the next 6 months. I am pretty sure I can afford Obamacare until then. As I am still "young" and invincible.

I am going to win the lotto tomorrow night, so retirement will be funded. Also then going to buy Internet Brands and get some good developers to work on this site.

Really on that I am planning on maxing out an IRA and then putting other money into savings.

Betterment is performing better than the expensive real person(s) at morgan stanley, even before considering the fees.

Auto Insurance: Who do you use?

Since I've taken the MSM off and added on my 14' FRS, it seems it has more than doubled. (State Farm )

I did a quote from Geico today and was surprised for the same coverage I would be around $150/mo

Thoughts?

I've been very happy with Geico, particularly through my two accident claims. Yeah their offer was lower than I'd hoped but still fair, and any insurance company would have done something similar. Very good service, 24 hour service...

I had progressive for years with no complaints.
I switched to State farm because they gave me a huge home insurance discount, but I miss progressive's service.

I use USAA, have been on it since I got my permit when I was 15. I pay something like $230-$250 a month for insurance. I have 5 vehicles on it though. I could be down to about $75-$90 if I wanted to drop all the miata's.
