    Sounded like a good deal to me.



    George you have several businesses, your address is public record.

    Don't be so careful that you cost yourself money!

    Seems like a reasonable ad.
    Plenty of people have free firewood too. I love working the firewood.
    Chainsaw(s) , hydraulic log-splitter (horizontal one is fun,fun,fun)...
    But it has to be "seasoned" for about six monthes where I live, and my buddy with the land and equipment thinks it's
    ONLY worthwhile IF a tree place will drop them directly at his property
    ...NO wood this year

    Check out "Best-ofs" on CL ...first time I saw them I ROFL'd cause I didn't know what it was.
    One ad was for somebody to "haul chickens" (my favorite) , another was "sorry I puked in your purse" about a guy who got mad at a woman in the bar, so his (sicko@SS) puked in her purse then zipped it back up...Another ad for a "porn laptop" that was "only used for porn, had plenty of links but lots of viruses...sick/ Funny stuff.

    You own a biz., the biz. is under your full name, you are so searchable at this point!

    If it were not a waste of my time I could find out things about you that you already forgot.

    With the info out there on the internet these days, it amazes me what someone can pull up with just a little info to start with. I deal with a number of Craigslist folks daily and if I suspect anything and have a couple of minutes I will take a peek. Often times it's just a phone number to go on, but with a full name, partial address, business info someone could know if you prefer Charmin to Cottenelle in no time.

    Perhaps it works differently in other states, but not the case for VA. I know...when I went to register my investment name, someone else beat me to it. When I asked about it, they said all they could provide me was the city it which it was located.

    Yes, the businesses are under my name since I am the owner and registered agent, but my home address is not listed.

    Even if it was, like I said, anyone shows up uninvited, I pretend I am in West Virginia again lol.
