As for tornados, wow, I have never heard so many b4. Turns out in my area, satellite and radar detected 8 tornados( though I don’t think all of them touched down). I knew something was wrong.

Now I pray for the people on the Golf Cost. Especially New Orleans. Katrina is head there way now a Cat. 5. Scary shit!

Growing up in the Midwest, we used to see Tornados from a distance all the time, but I’ve never actually been near one of them nor inside one of the storms.

I’m surprised you drove home in the middle of it.

Thing that sucked the most was that I was working till 8pm. And at that time, the eye was above us. After that, driving home was a bitch.

“Hurricane Katrina got us off guard”

Yikes, I hope everything is okay and everyone is safe.

Short and sweet. Nice.

I intended to reply earlier, but heck had no internet. Dam Hurricane Katrina got us off guard.

I find that all legal paperwork regarding business confusing. No doubt, this is why so many people who dream of starting a business don’t.

The article you mentioned on Wikipedia is a good source of basic information on the DBA or D/B/A as they put it. They do mention that individuals can have a DBA, not just corporations.

Infact a freelancer that sits next to me at my current client actually is a sole proprietor with a DBA. So, in short, if you do not have an LLC or corporation AND you don’t use your actual name to do business, you need a DBA.

I would recommend looking into sole propriatorships in your state or country.

This a very interesting topic, keep us posted.
