Looking at purchasing a CertaPro or ChemDry franchise and would like input?

July 31st, 2007
NEEDHELPNOWPLS asked:


I have a college degree and am 28yo. I have some financial responsibility (car, mortgage, student loans). I have saved enough to self finance a low-mid cost franchise. I have had experience in medical, construction and residential improvement sales. However, I always liked residential best due to the quick close. Has anyone looked into either of these franchises? If so, what did you think? Any idea on the % of failed vs. successful franchises? Also, any other reccommendations on what to open? Is it worth taking a risk or should I just bank my money and grow old making other people rich?

dry scalp nothings working?

July 18th, 2007
~ The best advice is free ~ asked:


ok heres the deal

things that irritate it worse … tgel, head and sholders, selsun blue, tea tree oil, peppermint oil, almond oil, olive oil, vegtible oil, baby shampoo, deep cleaning shampoo ……. seriously i can list them all ive tried dove saint ives regular shampoos conditioners shampoos with vitam a’s b’s c’s ive even tried girly shampoos like aussi my sister uses it so i figured what the heck …….. ya all of em make it better for about 5 mintues after i get out of the shower or bath and then when i go to get dressed if i dont get a soft shirt it gets itchy to the point where i have to take it off ive done the oil in scalp treatments they dont help hell when i was 13 i put a whole tube of cortosone cream 3% in my hair after a week of it not working when used as the dermatoligist said ……… needless to say nothing

ive tried limiting bath/shower times, adjusting timing, washing throughly, patting dry all of that and using hair dryers as well as exfoliating or whatever you call it with a comb before showers nothing havnt gotten barely any improvement yet its been like 7 years since this dry scalp thing started and now my hands are starting to randomly get dry in the mornings and face feels all itch …… no achny at all i have asthma and ocd and no i dont wash 6 times a day and dont wash my hands like other people with ocd and ive tried hand lotions all that stuff to it doesnt help other then it makes my hands a bit itchy for a few mins then it goes away on my hand for like 15mins to an hour then is back again

on my scalp itll come off with a comb but appear again in 1-3 hours its not psoriosis or serebic dermatitis or eczyma when i comb it it comes out and theres no patchs the skins normal colored and the only time i get a irratated spot is if i comb to hard and like break skin

oh and water irratates it as well as my family tells me i have greasy hair …… it doesnt look greasy to me at all ….. i find washing my hair in a bath tub without soap and doing it underwater is better then anything shampoo or hair washing style wise. after a shower tho theres a gritty feeling like 5-10minutes after along the sides of my face and sometimes it just comes right back.

also when i comb theres this distinct smell …… something like walking into a hair salon place where they cut your hair but it only last like 30 secounds at most usually?

yes my skin is sensitive but i doubt its contact dermatitis since i can put shampoo on my arm and leave it there and it doesnt even get red

medicines .. flovent, albuteral,ive taken ridilin in the past andi take 3 of these gummi vitamins evry day my diets mainly meats and i love pretzles and i do eat fruit cups but other then tht i dont eat much fruits or vegitibles theres really none around here and i dont eat much unless its at night then i eat a litte havnt eaten lunch yet this year at school rarely breakfast get to the point where i feel sick in school cause i get hungry at a random point but then it goes away and im not hungry at all ….. i have insomnia and rarely get sleep like usually 3 or 4 am to 6 am is my sleep schedual and i sleep on a couch and sweat sometimes at night and i dont drink much either usually just like hawaian punch kin of stuff and ive heard stress can cause flare ups …… ya my lifes living hell but i dont believe stress can really relate to this? an also my parents have the tempeture and all around here all whack cause their obsesd with the heating bills and what not

my hairs medium length, black, my skins caucausion and im 17 and yes ive gone through puberty

there i think that covers just bout evrything that relates to diet lifestyle what ive tried stree what not

any ideas whats going on here i mean ya along with ocd and the low self esteeme and school ya…. lifes hell

What does this make you think? the purpose is to bring inspiration to someone, anyone?

July 6th, 2007
artislove asked:


I have been blessed with so much lately and I would just like to share a little inspiration with everyone out there! I wrote this sort of a a poem but it became something else….I would enjoy hearing any comments or ideas of inspiration they may have…..

If I woke to find no mind and the only world my eyes could find
Was the thought that I was truly blind to many things, but not the signs….I stepped along a broken pathway within shrubs of a darkened maze where even the owls could not see my face I felt the cold of the ancestors call the and glass like sounds of crystal balls…..falling, falling to the dusty floor. A fate or a fortune once told no more. All that I knew was so long lost, from where I once came, at such a cost…..Where has that life gone to? But will I miss it? Would you? for there was much that was wrong and much that was right…..Now I think when I wake I will find much more joy in every luagh in every ettempt at virtue…..for I will make things more well…….These days to come, on a quest for improvement and to make life more fun……Live like you dream and dream like you love, the limits are yours to construct of, so never construct them and them you will see, that victorys will come far more easily……..your life is as you make it within your own mind……Never cease to believe……because the only difference between you and the chosen few, is that you did not choose yourself………

What will you do?

Positive thinking and reinforcements are keys to joy and self belief and joy and self belief are key to making dreams possible. And and knowing what you truly want is important because without the goal and passion in front of you, as well as a plan to make it happen, why should it happen? Why should we expect to have no plan and make no decision and for something great to happen just by chance. We make our chance! Success and happiness do not fall on our head from the sky…..It takes a will, and perseverance, and faith, and hard work. We tend to know what we want but tell ourselves we cannot have it. Maybe we are being lazy, I do not know…..But if you want something enough, the only thing in your way is you……Took me a long time to learn that, but not as long as it could have…….So I am blessed by that knowledge and belief.

Think about waking up every morning and saying to yourself, and even throughout the day.( I feel great today….there is nothing I can’t do…..Anything is possible…….)
Say anything that is most positive to you and the more you say it, the more it will became part of you…..

The more you surround yourself with reminders of the result you will achieve by succeeding in your goal, the more you will make it happen for yourself. I read or heard something once, about a woman in a cubicle office who dreamed of going to a beautiful foreign country…I cannot remember which, but she hung pictures of that country in her cubicle office so that she would see it everyday…..It reminded her everyday, how much she wanted to go there and she did…..Do you think that if she had nothing to remind her to save more each month and to make decisions to support that goal, that she would have made it happen? I absolutely believe that having your dream posted in front of you keeps it in the front of your mind and at the top of your priorities, and that is where the dreams belong. It is too easy to forget each day that every day and every action counts toward the whole, and starting tomorrow can mean starting never……Because we tell ourselves there is always tomorrow. So make today and everyday the start and hang pictures or symbols of the dream all around you……..
You can do it! We all have it in us…… Good favor everyone!

God bless you!

Does ADD medication help anyone? Is it okay to take for years?

July 3rd, 2007
Nora E asked:


I am 19 years old. I thought that I was normal. However, my study habits and skills were greatly suffering. I also have low self esteem and as I was unable to complete ONE task, I started to get depressed. Very depressed. I thought that I would never amount to anything. I had tried every single thing I could do to cope with not being able to get anything accomplished, and I finally resorted to *******. My parents found me and I was immediately put in therapy. At first they thought I was bipolar, but I looked back at my habits, and realized I had huge focusing problems. I mentioned ADD and they gave me a questionaire. I scored 33 when the requirement was 24. Today is my first day on 30 mg Vyvanase. I noticed a dramatic improvement. I was doing so well in school. But it makes me feel like I can’t connect with myself very well. I mean, I can, but it’s not like I used to. I have some control over my emotions, but not alot. I don’t want to go back to the way that I was before, but I know th
at the medication might turn me into a different person. I know that if I go back I won’t be able to be productive because this medicine is my last resort and it’s working so well. I just don’t want to lose myself in the medication. Also, is it safe for your body? Is any ADD medication? Because I am scared of the medicine and it’s side effects. I don’t want to stop taking it, because I know that I need it, so is it safe to take for a long period of time? Ty!!
