I have an excellent invention Idea that I believe nearly every homeowner that has more than one level will want! The problem is, I do not have the money or the know how to create my idea to the public or to distributors. I have contacted the invention people and they want 1,295 just to assess my idea and then about 10 k to patent it , I would be willing to get a loan to do all of this, but I was wondering if anybody had the know how of how you would design your product, joy manago a self made millionare sold her mop on tv and is now a self made millionare from all her inventions, she was poor, how did she desighn it? Thanks,steph

I own 2 other fast-food type establishments. "The Snack Shack" and "The Lunch Box". This will be my third location but on a much larger scale. It will open in September. I need a name for it.

Fast-food, as I said. Breakfast and lunch menus only. The normal breakfast menu. Lunch of burgers, chilidogs, hot-wings, salads, nachoes, BBQ, chicken and fish, smoothies and
ice cream.

(no alcohol, family environment) you get the idea.

A sorta Dairy Queen meets Hooters deal I guess.

My theme is old Coca-Cola signs, road signs, the waitresses will dress in white jacket type dresses with red lettering, cute and sorta 50's flashback, but with a modern mini dress length.

Please incorporate any thought on this theme into a name.

2 points for sarcasm but 10 points for a great suggestion!

I have no money in my checking account. I'm planning on writing a $700 dollar personal check to my school for an emergency situation. I fully understand that I will be overdrafting my account. The question is, would my check go through if i give it to them?. I'll accept the overdraft charges and all. I just need to do this for an emergency

I have an idea for a name for a new company of mine. How do I find out if someone is using it already? How do I squat on the name? I realize registering the domain name is one way or searching for it. But I want to know if there is some site or search I can do to find out for sure.

I am considering moving to another state, mostly to attend grad schoo, but also partly for a change. I have a job that I like, and could work from home while going to school part time. One of the guys I work with recently kept his job when he transferred to another city, but I would be moving pretty far out in the boonies, while he moved to a major city
My question is, how do I bring this up to my boss? I made a joke about it a couple of weeks ago, and he responded positively to the idea, but knowing that it was a joke. Has anyone out there done this and had it work out well?
Thanks for the advice!

Also, is Wal-Mart afraid of the Chinese or afraid of losing their market?

My credit score is around 644 (middle) which I am repairing, and I would need to be moved in by February 2006, the only money I have is 2,000 which can be for the closing costs or dp, and Im a first time home buyer. Is this feasable? All I have is credit cards on my credit report so its not really detailed. They rejected me for a car loan, so I dont know if I even have a chance at this. Im sick of renting! grr!
