      Thank you everyone!

      Richard, it was definitely one of the smartest decisions I have made so far.

      would you say you're, "getting your feet wet" ?

  4. If anyone is curious, 3 40 breeders fit inside a Nissan Cube :P I think a few employees at Petco were upset that I got them to unload a pallet so I could buy all of the tanks.

      We have been waiting for the $1 / gallon sale. The snakes needed new cages and we figured it couldn't hurt to have a spare

  5. I used to weld a lot when I was in highschool, but I doubt I could keep a bead now >.<
  6. Kari used to do a lot of competitive cheer I think she they won nationals at one point
  7. We have a few clients that work in sales at Dell, my Grandfather has been with Dell and has been in the storage department for about 7 years I believe.
  8. My girlfriend (accountant) told me I can buy a LED light when I win the lottery... I'm going to go buy $400 worth of tickets so hopefully I win ;)

      I can sell you the guts of an AI Sol...then you just need a heatsink

  9. Have you looked at techshop at la frontera? I think they have one and it's like $125 a month to use their stuff
  10. That's cool. There was a time I knew a lot of people at le cordon bleu, but I've heard some bad things about it lately and heard they are only offering certificates now and not a degree. I also knew a lot of people that were private chefs and caterers in Los Angeles. They did very very well!
  11. Where are you going to culinary school? I love to cook, but I just do it as a hobby. Food trucks are really picking up popularity these days!
  12. My girlfriend and I own a pet sitting company (soon to be pet services). I worked in every aspect of the pet industry you could imagine. I imported animals out of Africa and Madagascar for a while. Then I went to working retail for a while with ridiculous hours. Due to those hours I got a job working for a veterinary clinic that was great. I then decided to pick up and move from Austin to Los Angeles for a year to see how the stars live. I worked for a Chameleon Rescue there that was basically the main intake for illegally imported chameleons. After realizing that everyone in LA worked 3-4 jobs to make it by until they either became a movie star or worked with a union long enough to sustain a family we decided to move back to Austin and start the Pet Sitting company. I worked an hourly job while my wonderful girlfriend kicked the company in to gear and now we are expanding to become a one stop shop for in home pet care My advice to anyone struggling to get over the $10 per hour hump is to find a way to turn something you love in to an income! We absolutely love caring for animals and it has become a great way to support us! If anyone needs any tips or ideas for growing a new business or just wants to chat about it hit me up! I love hearing how people want to support themselves and break away from making everyone but themselves money
  13. Kari won the 30g rimless at C4! Now the fun part of setting it all up begins!

      Lol. I was actually about to pick one up on Craigslist that was used. I am much happier with a new one.
