Like Lixy ... I've never been able to think of what I would do ... though I would like to do it all the same ... but I'm watching to see the ideas come up .. think PF has a great future prospect .... maybe I could just save my $$$ and be an investor in a great idea?!?!?!

i think i'd like a nice small shop where i could sell some pottery and maybe other stuff i'd create. i'd need about half the $$$ to build a good studio and get a kiln.

how bout you lil? a nice place to sell your beadwork?

Well first I have to learn more about jewelry making( ie...stone setting, molding, metal work etc...) but eventually this is what I would like to do. So it would seem natural that eventually I would have my own studio/ store. In the mean time a craft shop and gathering place where people could learn a new craft, taught by all our local talent would be fun too.

I would start a home for "Wayward Women."

wyndhy~ I hope to own a school. I figure with all this privitization and the new "no social promotion" guidelines we are going to need a place for 11-16 year old who are still technically in Elementary school. Some sort of transitional school, perhaps leading to actual diplomas/GEDs vs. certificates of attendance. I know, I'm quite the dreamer.

While a little jewelry store sounds lovely I'd crack up with the solitude :p I would love to own a small bistro type restaurant.

dream away, nuthin but good can come of it :sun:

besides, it's a good plan. i think that up north here, from what i've seen at least, the charter-type schools are going to struggle but in the long run they'll be how most kids get an early education. the public schools (especially city ones) just can't reach the standards the government's set and so they loose funding and get further behind and loose more funding and on and on until no more shool. plus the government is, even if only a little, helping families finacially as well as with transportation, to send theire kids to better private/out of district schools



me?...i'd like the solitude. ;)

A comfortable little restaurant at the base of a mountain range.

Problem is that the schools the government is paying the kids to go to here don't even have to take the accountability tests (that the public ones do) so there is no real proof they are better, only holier. I love charter schools, when they actually live their charters:D

:soapbox:

Hmmmm... I think it'd have to be a Photography/Art/Electronics/Music/Computer/Bicycle/Bookstore Studio Center... with a snackbar coffee stand.

yep!...there are lots of parents falling for the hook that some of the more poorly run charter schools dangle out there that makes them believe just because it's new it's better. it's up to the parents to investigate them...many moms and dads are under the false impresssion that all the teachers are certified and that the curriculum meets govn't standards, and do not realize that thay are in fact almost totally exempt from those standards. in pa at least, charter schools are not even required to have a school nurse...kinda scary. but like most anything privately run...the good ones will survive and the others won't. even with the govn't funding cause, here, the local gov'ts only pay the charter(s) based on # of kids from their district that attend.

Wellllllllllll....If Lilith will not hire me to teach at her old fashioned, education not just push em through based school I shall beg teddy to allow me a place to do my wood crafting and sell it. I make lovely objects of wood such as chairs for baby dolls, christmas oraments, door stops and other cute things.
am thinking of learning how to turn wood so I can start making all natural wooden "toys".....(wonders if there is a market for those?)

I'm thinking I might start a bar with live music, so old over-the hill musicians would have a forum for their craft...


either that, or head for South America & start a banana ranch...

Don’t do that Zoid. :eek:

That’s not as easy as it sounds. Have you ever tried to lasso a banana? :hair:

LMAO. Banannas on the top layer....wacky tabacck on the bottom layer....

'comon, Scotz. :D That's what you meant. ;)

I'd prolly start my own sports publicity and research company.

I'd say that I'd start my own sports production company, but there are already a bazillion of those out there.....I just wish I had the idea for ESPN.
