  1. That's an interesting product you appear to have there. What sort of demand is there for organic pets for cats? Though cats aren't as en vogue :huh: as dogs around here, I'd expect that since they are finickier than dogs that they would prefer organic pets to simple run of the mill pets that dogs are good with and though it's a niche market, I could see some demand for the organic pets. Ferrets would probably be finicky as well, so after you really get the cat pet market dominated, organic ferret pets might be a good complimentary market to get into. ;)

     

    Good luck with your business and the contest. :thumbsup: Unfortunately, I have never been on Facebook so I won't be able to vote for your company. :(

     

    The market for dogs is bigger overall, but in cities there are almost always large concentrations of cat owners. Organic and eco are quite big on the West Coast, or Left Coast as some of you guys might call it ;)

     

    It will eventually seep into the lexicon in flyover country, at least that's my guess.

     

    I'll give his company a better chance of surviving than Solyndra. But watch out for China flooding the market with cheap organic catnip and toys!

     

    THat's the thing. A lot of independent pet stores don't want the cheap china crap. And their organics are suspect, anyways. Last time people put their trust in China, they gave us melamine in our pet food. Yay!

     

    Organic car parts?

     

    You should also post this on "Off The Wall." You'll get far more viewers than here. And far less snarky comments.

     

    No, no organics in the car parts business. Just straight up metalworking, also with everything made in the USA. No China crap there either :)

     

    I just love cars and animals, so I started companies in areas that I love.

     

    You sell green organic cats?

     

    No, but the colors of the company are green:

    And just to reiterate, I still need your help. Just a Webster boy trying to do good for his company. Here is how you can vote...it takes about 30 seconds:

     

    A) Go to this website: http://www.missionsmallbusiness.com

    B) Click on "Log in and Support"

    C) You must log in through Facebook (there is no other way to log in)

    D) Search for "Organikat" If it asks you for a state & city, it's Santa Monica, CA

    E) Vote. If you're so inclined, you can even share your vote on Facebook.

  2. Yes. Organic Catnip. And an organic catnip toy. And two cardboard cat scratchers made from 100% recycled cardboard. Those are our 4 products at the moment.

     

    Eventually organic food. Maybe I should have said "green pet company."

     

    But anyway, if you feel like helping, great. If you have any other questions for me, please ask :)

     

    Company is owned by me set up as an LLC. The cats work for free. Actually, they get plenty of catnip and food and water. They seem to be plenty happy.

  3. So, Chase is having this contest for a $250,000 grant for small businesses, and I entered. The rub is you need 250 votes. So I can use all the help I can get.

     

    A few notes about the business:

     

    1) It's an organic pet company for cats. Yes, cats may not be as en vogue with football guys as dogs, but hey, that's what my business is.

    2) We only make our stuff in the good ole U.S. of A. No Made in China crap.

     

    So here's the deal, and it takes about 30 seconds:

     

    A) Go to this website: missionsmallbusiness.com

    B) Click on "Log in and Support"

    C) You must log in through Facebook (there is no other way to log in)

  4. Don't forget that one of the items on the list of improvements for Fixtpatrick by coach are.... looking off the defender. Hmmm..

     

    You need to put that in context. It was looking off the defender, but giving Fitzpatrick enough time to throw accurately. So the problem Lee is helping to fix is getting Fitzy to look off defenders LESS.

  5. Nah no point to it. And there is nothing chicken little about the post, just truth and fact. What has Fitz done in his spotty career that shows you he can win us a superbowl? Nothing. We need a much greater upgrade at starting QB but won't have one with Nix.

     

    The fact that you, some anonymous Internet Bills fan, thinks that Buddy is actually making a mistake (and by extension, that you have a better grip on the state of the franchise) is laughable at best. Why more people don't have you on ignore is beyond me.

  6. For every 1 T.O. I bet there are 100 players that are fiscally responsible. Let's not paint all players with this broad paint brush.

     

    No, not really. There was an SI article from 2009 that said 78% of NFL players are either in bankruptcy or financial distress within 2 years of retirement.

  8. This whole thing reminds me of another situation on another board about cars. New poster comes in an starts giving very strong opinions on things. Gets in heated arguments. Says people don't know what they're talking about. Claims to have worked in high-end racing circles. Eventually things cool down, and the poster did have many years working for top teams in Indy Car and top crews in NHRA drag racing. However...don't ever expect things to go well when you walk up to a group of people you don't know, whether it's in person or on the Internet, and start telling them they're full of crap (whether it's true or not) :)

     

    And, while this is a fan board, I would say the fans on this particular board have a pretty good understanding of things as a whole. It's not perfect, but it's better than a lot of other places :D
