Great Story....Everyone is looking for a way to get pass that word called "Broke"! Someone has found that "B Plan" (a new found business right from home) that has moved pass their "A Plan" (a job). To have time on your hand to do something that you like and it's fun...has got to feel great! We are all looking for that type of "Golden Goose or Cash Cow". Great motivator...to share with people going through these tough economic times....

God I really dislike Fred, I don't see why he appeals to anybody.

Good luck to him. If Fred is clever enough to do it then he deserves the rewards!
