Haha .. good point. Let me clarify then. It is not stressful but it is time consuming. There were 3 people in our business but from the beginning of this year mom has retired leaving only two of us running the business and we are open 9-6pm, 7 days. So have to be here almost all the time but because it is our own business we are our own boss so we determine the pace therefore it is not stressful nor overexhausting.


The key is to have good planning over our production and ordering processes making sure there is enough products to sell.. plants are watered.. customers' questions or requests online are answered.. etc.. organising and planning is a big part of what we try to do.


Picking up the slack of mom's retirement has put a bit of pressure on me and my brother but we are adapting and finding ways to cope with the additional workload through better planning as well as buying in some plants that we used to propagate ourselves. There will be a smaller profit margin on some products but hopefully less stress on the two of us.

I confess I live in a world I interpret imaginatively. When I work I tell myself it's fun, better than a vacation, and so relaxing. Amazing how it actually works and I end up believing it and it ends up true.

No, I was just addressing the hesitancy expressed, and the lingering questions about some girl someone might have found interesting. Usually, talking to a girl removes the doubts. What women say or think is curative of imaginary love interests. Women are actually interesting, usually, regardless of their looks, if you are willing to respect their feelings, their ideas, and their interests. What's wrong or dysfunctional, is not being willing to do all that. Most women I wouldn't marry, or it wouldn't work if I did marry them or fall in love with them, but they are still interesting as human beings. Same thing for guys. Most guys wouldn't really want to spend a lot of time with me or get hung up on a relationship. Fun to talk, though.

Some really good point.. I just didn't want to come off as being creepy, you know?

Believe it or not I turn into a completely different person when I see a girl that I like... I turn into this frozen statue of myself..


To undo it I would have to imagine that I'm not really into that person.

Why wouldn't I believe that? It's obvious you have no game.
