    More like probable. These things go on for years before a single event or crisis forces action by the family. The stereotypical getting lost while driving to a place they go to daily is usually it. I had a great aunt that put the entire ice cream container on the stove to cook it and started a fire. This was at Christmas dinner. I’m sure her kids had been patching holes in that shop for months but on that day it finally sank for all to see. She passed about a year later in full blown dementia.

    Age related mental decline affects everyone. This lady is at the, “it couldn’t possibly be my fault, I still have all my marbles” phase. Returning items is super common because there’s no way she could have made a mistake, it must be your mistake. Stand your ground, those tears are not your fault.



  • We had a restaurant open in town and they named it “Second Wife Restaurant”, the logo was a fork and two spoons with smiley faces.

    It lasted about a month before being renamed to Taqwa Middle Eastern restaurant.

    Like I get wanting to share your traditions with the public but polygamy is such a cultural third rail it’s literally illegal. We don’t even have a large Arab Muslim population.


  • Preach. I am a former small business owner and my business failed after 3 years of busting my ass and sucking it up. Guess what, you still gotta suck it up for the rest of your life after that too. It never stops.

    This person already has her scapegoats lined up. If only her husband had thrown more good money after her bad ideas maybe a miracle would have happened and she would be rich and famous.

    Or you know, the guy with money knows how to make money and sees this entire thing as a farce. It’s not the pictures being good enough it’s just another escape hatch excuse on this sinking ship of an idea.


  • You must hate money because that’s going to cost a fortune and make none.

    Permaculture = scary word to some people, completely unfamiliar to most.

    Vegan = Not where any large family or group wants to spend the holidays or special occasion.

    Botanical gardens = a business model so unprofitable they only exist when sponsored by land grants and charitable foundations, almost non-profit museum model.

    If you came here asking is this a nice dream to have for one day when I’m so rich I can do anything I would say yes that’s lovely.

    Is it a dumb business idea, absolutely.
