Yeah, I remember Roscoe saying he used to do marketing seminars with like thousands people. It might be cool to do a Stealth convention some place maybe Vegas, or even San Jose . Maybe Aspkin could be the keynote speaker!

No no no, you can't do that. Or else PP/EB will try to find a way to stop us!

Remember whenever the system is abused, they jack up the security to make it harder!

I'd like to met Roscoe some day! Guy is so cool/awesome! Has a lot in his mind!

I'm ready, let's go.

I've been to many conventions with like-minded people (the mastermind theory). They are fun, exciting, and you come home with so many ideas but not enough time to implement.

All Tax Deductible to boot. The best thing about any convention are the Contacts you meet. You can do a JV later, chat on Skype, motivate each other, etc...

There is a direct corelation to going to these conventions and your income rising the following 12 months.

Maybe the problem Sandy is that with your business savvy, you sold all the food and water supply without thinking in advance

A few days back a large cruise ship had a fire on board.

Instead of finding a way to get people off the ship they left them on board.

Ran out of food, no water, no running bathrooms, etc.

I cannot believe a cruise ship would not have an evac plan.

What happens if the entire thing goes up in flames?

EVER HEARD OF HELICOPTERS or SMALLER BOATS Carnival?

No I would have brought on board extra in a back pack just in case the cruise line screws up like this one did.

I would have made a killing on that boat selling.

I also would have been hoarding up bottles of water from the boat.

I would have posted signs--

If you need water come to Room 4B.

Water, 10.00 a bottle.

Snacks 2 for 10.00.

When I ran out, then paid a private helicopter to come pick me up.

What would you charge for a life jacket Sandy ?
People may jest but when you are responsible for your own income you can never stop .
It becomes part of life.
You see things in a different way to the normal employed masses .
I holidayed in Malta late last year .
Upon noticing the large amount of classic UK cars still there i spent the bulk of my hols tracking them down and buying them .
Wife was not happy but they never are .. they simply dont understand .
It was the best bus mans holiday ive had for a long time and payed for itself many times over.

Now a life jacket would be big bucks.

Wife not happy?

Shame on you to go on vacation and spend HER time looking at cars.

Oh yes we do understand men.

I've been on about 6 cruises and all were a great experience.

Carnivale, Royal Carribean, and NCL.

You are not allowed to bring Food and Drink on cruise ships, it's the same as going thru customs at the airport.

Helicopters have a very, very short fuel range, about 200 miles total. No helicopter can make it out to sea and back.

Carnivale did a good job in this crisis. There were 4,200 passengers + 2,000 employees. People would have died had they tried to evacuate 6,000 people, not possible.

Not one person died or was injured from what I've heard. Plus the people getting off the ship all look in good health.

If something should go wrong on a cruise ship you are ******

Heart attack, stroke, appendectomy, etc... you'll most likely die. It takes 1-2 days to get to port.

Even if they have enough life boats, no one incl staff knows how to use them. Tons of staff turnover, training for rescue is pathetic.

Plus everyone is so Fat from eating food 24/7 a life boat could only carry one person.

Most inshore helicopters have a range of 200 - 300 miles .
However the bulk off offshore helicopters have an average range of 1000 miles.
Im a bit of a helicopter fanatic after flying in the RAF when younger.
Even the age old UK seaking can muster 800 miles on a fill up and thats 25 years old.
Surely enough for Sandy to get her goods so yes lots go out to sea , been there and done it.

I have a friend who pilots helicopters and he told me most won't travel more than 200 miles total.

In regards to Offshore helicopters I'm sure a few can travel further. I know that onshore vs offshore helicopters are probably more than a 100-1.

Can you imagine airlifting more than 6,000 passesngers, many of them seniors.

I guarantee there would have been injuries if not death.

Carnivale did the right thing. I saw a TV show yesterday and a Carnivale executive said they went thru all scenarios including Helicopters, ship to ship transfer, etc...

He said the analysis was to deal with the current situation and return to the nearest port.

In hindsight he was correct. No one died, no one injured, just pissed off passengers.

Most small private helicopters have a very limited range so hes about right at 200 miles , but there more aimed at the execs and will carry 4 people.
Mid range choppers will see you around the 400 - 600 miles and will carry 8 people .
Off shore or rescue choppers will take you 1000 miles and even the big birds will only carry 25 people so to evacute cruise liners with a chopper is a no no , it would take weeks.
Trick to this all is choose a cruise company with a good safety record and none of this hopefully will ever be relevant .

Why even talk about the helicopter? LOL What matters the most is. Can you really pay for one with the bottle water and Candies you sold? lol

Sandy has funds so, that wouldn't matter!

I can't wait for you guys to get in the details of the engine!

I wish I had you guys attitude, I am prone to anxiety. eb/pp bring it out in me.

disputes, holds, limitations, chargebacks or just the fear of them...

plus there are aspects to playing the game that make me uncomfortable, like when I get asked for proofs or the fact that I have accounts in different details to my own...

dont you guys worry about someone saying, why have you got so many banks, or ebay accounts...etc

stuff like cancer though, thats harsh, I am scared of that too...and the motorway...and flying....
