Came across this tool today and just thought ya`ll might be able to use it.  It allows you to set up a meeting with multiple participants by finding the date and time that works best for everyone and it`s free and it works via the web.  Anyway, I set up a sample so ya`ll could see how it works:

PS - it also lets you set up any kind of poll without dates or times as well.

<sigh> Another of my ideas I didn`t follow through with. I actually spoke with a programmer and got to where it was outlined, but dropped it because I got into other things.

Reminds me of a great idea my buddy Jeff and I had, sitting around one night trying to sell TVs. I was moving and needed boxes, and came up with the idea for The BoxStop. It would be a shop that sold only boxes, and mailing supplies, packaging tape, and peanuts or bubble wrap.

Everyone laughed, thought it was a fun waste of time, and that was it. I had other things I was interested in. So when I stopped in at the local MailBoxes Unlimited, I appreciated how well they`d implemented my idea! :-)

Back on the meeting planner, everyone said it was dumb because corporate networks usually use Lotus Notes or other Groupware to find the best time to schedule a meeting. My faint objection was, "Yah, but what if you`re not IN a corporate network?" LOL!!

I`m glad to see someone did put this into play. I`ll bet it succeeds.

What`s even more ludicrous is an idea my father had, and explained to me in great detail, accompanied by much laughter and brainstorming. He suggested selling cans of dehydrated water to the Navy and shipping companies, to be stored in lifeboats.

Obviously, the big problem for shipwreck victims is lack of water, so dehydrated water would be PERFECT! All you do is empty a can into a bucket, add a gallon of water, and Presto! You`ve got a gallon of water, right there in the lifeboat.

Imagine my shock when I read an article about.....dehydrated water!!

Turns out this is a chemical product sold to farmers, particularly in arid climates. They spread the crystals around a plant`s root base, and it literally sucks water from as far away as something like two to three feet! Even the least amount of moisture gets pulled in, trapped in the crystals, and then it`s used by the roots to nourish the plant. Amazing!

Anyone for a small can of lemon pits? What makes lemonade better than the Real Look and Feel of "Pit`s Lemonade Enhancer!" Tired of plain lemonade made from a mix, that clearly isn`t made from scratch? Empty a can of Pit`s Lemonade Enhancer into your powdered lemonade and instantly have the real lemonade you remember from when you were a kid.
(Each can sold separately, must be 18 or older to order, not available on Earth or other galactic empires, requires physician signature before purchasing.)
