I was watching a show called 'design interns' on tv and they were designing armchairs for Lazy Boy. They even had to have their design manufactured by carpenders and upolsters.

Then I though 'hey, wouldn't it be cool to have a chair made to my specs - I could do that, I'm creative, I could design a chair!'

But then I thought 'wait, I don't really know about what makes a good chair - maybe there are things that the pro furniture designers know that I don't? Also how much is this gonna cost me?'

opinions?

fatty things don't really appeal to me too much - maybe I've been conditioned to dislike them because they are thought to be bad for you?

Also is it hard to mimic these types of photos in one's personal photography of friends? Ofcourse I am aware they won't look as good as the pros - it's just for fun!! :)

Well I got to try it out last week and they said that I sounded too professional and for some reason people don't respond to that and then they don't donate. We get a script about a page long and after about each paragraph we ask for a lower donation of money. They told me that it works best of you mostly follow the script, read it like you are having a conversation with a friend, and are able to adlib a bit when people talk to you (ie: " No, I don't want to donate at all!" or "I've already donated lots to other charities" etc).

Any advice?

I had a day off and wandered into a gourmet choclate shop on a trendy street in my city. It was slow because it was still early in the morning so I began to chat with the lady at the counter who turned out to be the owner of the shop. THe conversation eventually turned to how she got into opening a sucessfull choclate shop in the middle of a recession, that has been featured in various magazines.

She suprised me by explaining that 3 and a half years ago she was a sucessfull and well paid chemical engeneer or something like that and then she turned 35 and realised that she wanted to take a chance. So she opened a choclate shop and she loves her career as a shop owner even more than she
