    I guess by your standards I am a level 1 scrapper. But that's perfectly fine with me. I work 3 days a week at my real job and bring home over 100k a year. I scrap for fun and all the money goes towards my kids college fund. But I guess by your standards im below you. But im perfectly ok with that.

    I don't think you are below me. I don't rank myself against other people, only on what I think I am capable of doing and where I actually am.

    You are making my day Scott!

    THATS RIGHT I KNOW THE GUY YOU ARE COMPARING ME TOO!
    I wasn't comparing you to junkgenious, I was asking if you had information like junggenious. Also, I'm not sure what you meant by what you said. Were you working for junkgenious? Or your conversation with Tom who is the founder inspired you to franchise yourself, or you called him up to inquire about buying a franchise, and he inspired you to start your own? What exactly did you mean, call me dense but it's a little difficult to understand to be honest.

    If you are creating businesses and then selling them, that's great, but that's not what a franchise is. That is creating a business and selling it. If you have successfully sold a franchise, then you would have the information I am curious about. Or at least I would assume you would.

    At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense. -- Carl Sagan
