Louis, Let me ask you a question--
Is there any money in architectural models? I've played with the idea of offering this to the few architectural firms within driving distance, but dont want to either step on toes or step in something I'd rather avoid. Any advice?

Approach companyies, etc. That is what I did. I am a architect and I went from doing home reno's for mum & dads when I first started off to far larger projects (commercial, industrial, residential) which help to pay the bills and some. I work hard but I ge to keep the money (after paying Mr taxman (Mr. Swan's bagmen) ). Louis PS. I had to laugh at your comment: It's not my fault that he's "not getting any action!" 2009/2/17 Mandy <[email protected]> I used to run a mobile business fixing computers, but it too never paid the bills. I'd like to get it good enough to do again - but it's exhausting work. Being a female, most of my customers where the vulnerable types. Single parents, the elder generations (one was 97 years old!), the infirm and the sole occupants. They aren't the richest and therefore, I never got more than pocket money from it. <sigh> Could never charge them very much. It just felt wrong! The boss has gone out and hopefully he'll come back in a better mood. Maybe he realised that he's being mean today. It's not my fault that he's "not getting any action!" Hang on - did you say fictitious business name? LOL I've got one of them "The PC Girl".. :D http://craftandsuch.blogspot.com/ http://www.pcgirl.com.au ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul McCool To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2009 12:16 PM Subject: [Papermodels II 34521] Re: OT Re: [Papermodels II 34517] Re: test Technically, I could consider myself self-employed, as I do have a fictitious business name and do occasionally get paid for doing notaries, but it's not enough to make a living on.

I work from home also since walking out of my last job because I couldn't stant the antiquated practices of the company I was with. Going to my 14th year on my own and would not go back working for a "Boss". Louis 2009/2/17 Paul McCool <[email protected]> Nope. Been unemployed since October of '07. The wife's boss is too cool to ever yell. Too busy working on his fire truck, too. (Too many too's?)
