Dude! I think I have some spare punctuation around here; want me to send you a care package?

lol.
Seriously UW - do you have a blog? If not and you have the time you should start one, with quotes like these I'm sure you'd get plenty of bookmarkers and traffic through word of mouth. Not sure if it should be porn related, seems like adult humour products would be a great market for you to exploit, t-shirt hell and the like.

After my first year in bizz i took 3 months of (summertime) money came in, but 4 weeks after summer my bizz collapsed i have worked weeks almost 24H a day to get it back, its indeed not the surfers who slow down, i think its the webmaster itself, last year i worked a bit more i my holiday then was planned, i had no summer slowdown, and realy hated to see my kids and all swimming and me workin, not planning todo that this year, so i wor now a bit harder to get all fixed for those 6 weeks of me slowing down

I wonder if it's the surfers or the webmasters. Heat naturally makes people more horny. And surfers can go online at night. There's less daylight in the evening, but there's more daylight in the morning when guys have more testosterone.

But when we're having winter you're having your summer,
and when you're having winter we down under are sweltering in summer heat...

So why would one half of the planet have a summer slowdown when it's winter in the other half?

[Yeah - I know - population demographics, spending power, etc...]

But it sure doesn't make it any easier to work one's ass off during our hot summer just because you guys are thinking it's winter and one should get busy indoors!

Same question here?

My plan is just to do what I did last year. I saw some decrease in sales, but it wasn't too bad. I have about 6 weeks left until the kids are out of school for summer, so going to be busting my ass till then, and then just doing some "maintenance" type stuff while they are out.

I figure that the kids grow up just so damn fast that if I have to work almost 24 hours a day now to be able to get to take most of the summer off with them, that is a more than fair trade.
