Dirtee Deeds is a laundry service, that services the Columbus and
surrounding areas.

I will pick up your dirty clothes and return them to you clean and
smelling fresh, you will receive them folded and/or on hangers.

This service is made to make more time for you.  If you do not have
the tedious chore of laundry you will have much more time for more
important things.  I will work with you on scheduling the pick ups
and drop offs.

Think of all the time and money you will save no more purchasing
detergent, softener and stain remover.  You will receive the clothes
before you even have a chance to miss them.

If you are interested and would like to try out the service then send
one load and see for you self the clean fresh clothes you get back.
What do you have to loose?

Hello Steven,

I believe you and connected not too long ago on Linkedin! I saw the
drainbrians.com website the other day and think you have tapped a
niche market.

I myself am in the printing and promotional product business, as well
as real estate.

By the way, I wrote a post today about networking on Linkedin I think
you may enjoy at www.therockson.com. I hope you will get a chance to
read it.

If there si anything I could do for you, please let me know. Have a
super weekend!!!!

Attn: Former Excel Communitations Reps.

The number one money maker in Excel is at it again. Join Paul
Orberson's fast growing team. Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing is for highly
motivated people who want to do more with their time than punch a
time clock. It's for people who are interested in either making a
little extra money, doubling their income or even multiplying it.

How would you like to be a part of the #1 rated home-based business
by Fox News and Forbes Magazine? I'm talking no inventory, no
employees, no paperwork, no boss, no limits, no overhead, no
bookkeeping. I've heard it said that something that sounds too good
to be true probably is.... well, I have never heard a rich person say
that.

I'm looking for former Excel reps that were successful in the
business and want to take another wild ride. Paul will be making some
major announcement in a couple of weeks that will drive this business
through the roof! Fortune is featured in this month's issue
of "Success from Home" magazine as well as recent issue of
Millionaire Blueprints magazine. Fortune hasn't reached it peak yet,
now it time to jump in and take advantage of it's rapid growth.
Remember, Paul Orberson made over 1.2 million dollars a month in
Excel. He knows the industry like no one else.

Lots of people missed out in the Excel success, don't let it happen
to you in Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing. Contact me and let me get you
going!  Michael

Rocky,
The group was recently formed from our MeetUp group. Generally the
group is composed of small (and micro-business) owners as well as
online/homebased type businesses. I have not been able to put in time
to build it up since we are expecting a baby in a couple of months. I
am hoping to get some promotion and mini workshops going in 2006. You
are welcome to post any events or discussions that would interest
small business people in our area.

Hello, my name is Rocky VanBrimmer. I am a realtor with Coldwell
Banker King Thompson. I live in Delaware with my wife and son, and
work out of the Worthington Office.

With that said, is there anyone still in this group?

Thanks
Rocky

I would think this workshop would be useful for businessmen too.
