as you may have guessed, i'm new here....

[dreamchaser]

hello, all-

as anybody who's seen my threads in "appraisals" knows, i'm new to this biz and this site.

with that said, i would like to take this opportunity to apologize to the community as a whole for jumping in with a rough start. not enough attention was given to the rules, and too much priority was given to my excitement about the hunt for a good name. i read about the number$ before i read about what was considered acceptable behavior, and my actions reflected that mistake.
in short, i didn't come here to spam, scam, or improperly bump.
just a guy who's happy about potentially finding another gig after 20+ years of working with marble and granite (ouch).


now that all of that is out of the way.......

as i said, i'm new to this stuff.

i bought my first few domain names because i wanted those names.
some friends and i are putting together an internet based biz (e-cigs), so i got the names for that. then i started typing in what i thought were "cool" names, and buying those (ie: frigidbitch . com, devil-woman.com, etc)....not so much thinking about resale, but i just wanted those names to be mine.
further investigation led me to understand that this can be a viable business, as long as i stay away from things like "bananasucker . com", and look for things i would have blown off as
"bland", such as shoes . com, aaa . com. i also understand that i'd better come up with unbelievably fantastic names, have deep pockets, or learn some developing in order to make a go of it.
time to start reading.......

anyway, that's me in a nutshell.
a total newbie with too much enthusiasm, and now, too many poop-tastic domains.
i hope to remedy that asap.......

again, i apologize if i came off as a spammer or imbecile.
definitely not the former, and i'm working on the latter..........



all the best-
michael

thanks, mellowmasher.




hey johname-

that's funny...i never thought about a stone site.
not a bad idea.....

so, yeah....
about a decade ago, some friends and i had a weekend long party at a frozen lake.
we called the event "frigid bitch".
there was only a handfull of us there (like 12 or so), and it was cold, but fun.
we've also had lots of backyard parties in below-freezing temps.
a 55 gallon drum with a fire in it, and several gallons of hot libations, and it's a damn good time.

my grand dream would be to develop the idea into a burning man-esque type of festival, preferably in a spot where the northern lights are more than likely to be seen.
big ice sculptures, camping in tents and diy igloos, music, lots of fire......

burning man is a huge festival, and people travel from all over the world to attend it.
i imagine a similar idea, perhaps somewhere in canada or alaska, could do fairly well if it were promoted right....

i'll bet that domain could be worth something then.

if nothing else, it would be a great name for a line of "x-treme" arctic wear/sleeping bags.
or maybe an ice chest/cooler.
"i'm goin' camping with my frigid-bitch!".

no, wait.....
subzero's new competition.
the frigidbitch line of high end refrigerator/freezers.

i would replace my appliances in a heartbeat if i could get a frigidbitch fridge/freezer.......

yeah, something like that.......



and yeah, of course i got that from microguy.
being told your domains "suck bananas" will leave an impression on you.....
:D
