I have an idea that I have "patented" and I want to start "research and development" on. This idea will become a matter of "public safety" and I can see it becoming a law or mandated. It is WILL absolutely save lives.

Does anyone know of a good place to start applying for a government grant? Should I actually look at other grants instead of government grants, considering that this will likely become a matter of public and poltical interest?

Since the business is being operated from the home. Is it wise to pay the rent and all of your other living expenses (lights, gas, cable, internet, etc.) right from the business account? Or should the business owner pay themselves first ..... and then pay their bills with their own personal account? If you know please give reasons why.

they will not pay you.................do you think (if you went through all of the proper channels) that you would give the non-communicating, non-paying buyer negative feedback? I would think that if you left them negative feedback, even if they deserved it.......they they would leave you negative feedback......and if you had 100% positive.......how would that make you feel?

I have a entertainment booking business. I have recently began requiring that customers pay a deposit because business is really growing and we are losing too much money
on clients who cancel at the last minute keeping us from scheduling someone else. The other issue is that the entertainer gets over to the neighborhood and then gets lost and when he/she tries to call the host/hostess they don't answer the phone to give directions and thus the entertainer gives up...

Just as a "survey"...

How many of you think its justified to require a deposit and for me to KEEP the deposit if the client backs out at the last minute? (keeping in mind if its a legitimate emergency I can credit the deposit for a future re-scheduled party).

This one is the tricky one: What about if we should keep the deposit if we drive all the way to the clients area, get lost, and the host/hostess won't answer the telephone to help us find the place and we lose the booking?

Your opinion please! Thanks!

I've made a flyer to advertise my babysitting services:

Need some time off?
Responsible 13 year-old girl looking to babysit in local * area.
-Dependable and mature
-Loves kids
-Have had three years of experience with younger children (ages 1-11 years)
-Educated and certified in first aid/CPR
-Will do basic housework on request
-Flexible hours and affordable rates
$3/hour for first child
$2/hour for second child
$1/child/hour after that

and then I have those little slips that you can tear off that say Jennifer, babysitter [phone number]
I have a little notepad ready for all necessary and emergency contact information for when I babysit, and am creating a "babysitter's kit" with basic first aid, some storybooks, a simple board game, crayons/coloring books, and other little toys.
Am I good to go? Is there anything I should do to prepare for a job? Is my pricing reasonable?
Thanks for your input!
