Who is with me that daycare is too dang much. I have two kids and I was paying 1320 a month for a good, registered, well known daycare. The ones that are crap and look like roach invested were only like 300 dollars less than 1320....

grotto_guy I own a daycare center and i agree! I am not an independent owner with a "big company" to feed. I charge FAR less than that and provide an excellent facility and staff. Look around! Sometimes its the legwork that digs up the good places. Also, check out...

grotto_guy I am a professional magician in the Pittsburgh, PA area. I love magic and have performed both freelance and professionally for many many years. I would love to discus magic and tricks, but revealing secrets is not really my thing.

I am interested in what people think of this company, the "business opportunity", their business plan, their marketing strategies and anything related to Amway. Also, why do you feel the way you do.

grotto_guy Amway is not really about selling. Not exactly. The idea is to sell the business concept, not the product. Of course the product sales are a part of the Amway business, but if that is all you do then you are really just running a home based convience store....

grotto_guy Does that really answer the question? Where are you getting that statistic? And, is that money coming from selling tools or product flow? That makes a huge difference.

It has always bothered me that the police who we pay through taxes can give out speeding tickets to such a small percentage of speeders. Are the police really trying to stop speeders and make the roads safe or is it a money makier...

grotto_guy I agree. If there was an automated radar system that took an image of the speeders license plate it would catch a far higher percentage of speeders and REDUCE the need for police officers to waste their time with this. Still I think the police are just...

I've been watching a lot of anime lately, but it's mostly just the big names in anime... but I'm assuming there's a lot of lesser-known anime out there that are just as good or better out there to watch too. Do you have any...

grotto_guy If you can get the original Robotech stuff it is exceptional. There is really alot of good anime out there. Also try the bubblegum crash and bubblegum crisis stuff, it is also very interesting!

grotto_guy This is a great topic. I am a scientist and a Christian so I fit into both camps! I believe that both sides make good points in their efforts to discredit the other. This is an easy thing to do as nobody will ever know for sure! Still there are some points...

Why is it that so many people are getting divorced? About 90% of the people I know are divorced, me included. Is it maybe because it is so much easier today than in my grandparents' time? Or are we jumping into marriage too...

grotto_guy I am sorry to say I am going through a divorce right now. I was married for 14 years with three children. It is very difficult and I am extremely crushed over it. I think the reason is that society today is moving and changing so rapidly that circumstances...

grotto_guy Wow, great topic! Face it, cigarettes are a method of taking the drug nicotine. They are. And yes, lots of adults are using openly in public. Unfortunately, that is an accurate description of the situation. I feel it is a sad comment on the power of big...

grotto_guy My point exactly! There are many other ways to stop speeders that dont involve police at all! Lets let the police focus on the REAL criminals and have radar/cameras that ticket 95% of speeders. My point is why have a system that costs so much taxpayer money...

grotto_guy Absolutely! I own a childcare center and I accept children up to 5th grade. Some of the things I see astound me. Children seem to be much more aware of things at a much earlier age than I ever was. I think TV and movies have a lot to do with all of this....
