Yes, my brother owns a very successful doggy business. He manufacturers dog products and sells them to distributors. My dad also owned his own business, as did my brother-in-law. I got free clothes from him. lol Everyone else has professional careers.

We were shares in a farm machinery business once but it went broke so I don't have a lot of happy memories about that time. The screen printing business sounds fun.

Screen printing would allow you to write your heart out on Tees...sounds lovely. I built a sports viewing center in 2015, but due to monopoly and crookedness of the licensing agent, he never allowed the business to see the light of day, so i rented the structure out to someone who uses the place for extramural lesson for students. getting low pay though
