Thanks Big Dog, Sludge, and Maw-Maw!

Hi everyone, Sorry to cause such as ruckus! Thanks for the caring Maw-Maw. Sludge, Maw-Maw is just keeping her house clean, she wasn't accusing. Thanks for your opinion Sludge, I will! Like I stated my friend looked into it and asked me for advice, I had never heard of them before since I am not a MLM'er/ I really liked your advice Big Dog, thanks. I have been on this site for about 2 years I think, and have found a LOT of the info useful. I NEVER jump into anything without careful planning so it is rather hard to fool me.
I am actually planning to start a business from an idea that I found on here!
thanks,
BizNewbie
