Open Mic 7pm Chgo Time: We’re Talking about $10 Million!!

Filed Under Comments, SOB Business, Successful Blog | 3 Comments

… Free and Clear!

What would we do if we got $10Million free and clear? No taxes. No debts to pay. No strings attached in any way.

Would we quit working, move to a new part of the world, buy something we’ve always wanted, build something we’ve dreamed of accomplishing, go somewhere we’ve always wished to be, give it away? We’ll talk about whatever else comes up, too, even flamenco dancing.

Oh, and bring links to share — about having money that’s free and clear.

The rules are simple — be nice.

Do be nice.

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

Naughty or Nice?

Timothy Johnson of Carpe Factum has been moonlighting as Santaâ€™s spy this year. Weâ€™re going to be talking about good deeds and ornery pranks. Klondike Bars and Nachos available on request. Open bar will be flowing: egg nog, spiced cider, and hot chocolate all evening (well, at least until the Fat Tire runs out).

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)

Oh, and bring links about pranks and good deeds to share!

We’re Already Thinking about Them…

We might talk about:

Gifts we gave
Gifts we got
Gifts we had to take back
Gifts we wish we never got
Gifts we re-gifted

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)
