Situation: I’m moving
Issue: I need furniture
Problem: I am Cash poor (paid almost 2000 just to move in!)
Solution: Craigslist!
I found these two end tables on craigslist for $10 bucks (pretty good deal, solid wood, sturdy). How they looked than was not really my cup o tea… not really into the gold trim or the mirror inlay but when I saw the ad online the left side (thats the creative part) of my brain kicked in…
After a short trip to Home Depot and about 2 hours of labor (spread over a couple days) this is the out come. Two asain modern black zen end tables for use as night stands of in the living room.. or one in both.
Cost
Tables: $10
Paint: $7
Sandblock: $3
Velco: $5
Red Fabric $4
Total cost for 2 cool end tables I can say are one of a kind PRICELESS, HA! Actually the total was $29. Not bad…. Not bad…

Prostitution has been legal in Hungary since 1999. The government has zoned certain areas away from schools and churches as the stomping grounds for the worlds oldest profession however it just recently passed law that allows Prostitutes to apply for an entrepreneurial permit which will allow them to fully participate in the economy and tax system. This new step even allows for customers to receive a receipt after completing their “transaction”.
I’ve always been upfront on my views with this topic. People should live and let live. If someones actions do not hinder your freedoms then we a society have no basis to deny them the freedom to that behavior.
There are many things that I would not choose to participate in personally; however, I am able to separate my personal morals from what I think are fair playing rules for others.
Just because I wouldn’t do it does not mean it should be illegal.
Just because I would do it does not mean it should be legal.
I came up with a new quote yesterday.
Sometimes thinking only a little can be worse than not thinking at all.
P.S, QUESTION: Is that Lady with the receipt a Client or a Provider?
