    This really isnt going to be an accurate poll. 90% of the votes will be people with a business...others wont even bother to open the thread

    I run a small graphic design business. Can't really be called a business considering that it's so small - but it gets work and so I'd say it was.

    well it started out me and one of his old business partners. when he wanted to whine and through a fit when he didnt get his way and started spending more money than we needed to and dangerously putting us WAY over budget. we had a little discussion that basically went, if you dont stop going over my head and doing stuff on your own with out my say so as well, then this is not going to work. he didnt like that and through yet another fit and stormed out. i waited a couple of days for him to cool down and return, but when he wouldnt return my calls, i went to the lawyer got him taken off the contract and thats where my dad stepped in and toke over his part. now its back to me and good ole pops back in business together

    I don't - I just wanted to point out that you used the incorrect form of "there" (should be their) in the title of the post.

    Im a product of my times - grammer and spelling are very poor from my generation. I was taught grammer in year 7 at high school and from then on teachers never corrected me. All my friends are the same. I guess im one of the first from the spell check era.

    PS - I dont think i can edit the post title....i dont know how or you not allowed.
