1) ln what ways do you use your trade dollars?
Most extensively for lawn service, but I've also purchased storage unit rentals, restaurant meals, dry cleaning and a gym membership.

 

2) What is the most exciting thing you have purchased on trade?
I have actually received cash business as a result of being contacted by a barter member in addition to the regular barter business I do.

 

3) What advice do have for people who do not barter?
I strongly suggest they become Barter Network members. There are many benefits that result in increased business and cost savings.

4) What advice do you have for people with regards the growing concerns relating to terrorism and the recent tragic events that have befallen our nation?
The recent events have generated two things: grief and depression for people affected directly and indirectly as victims of tragedy. Even people indirectly affected can develop post-traumatic stress disorder long after the tragic events. There is also a lot of fear and anxiety among people with regard to Anthrax. People become scared, started worry and when it gets too extreme, people can become emotionally and/or mentally incapacitated. People experiencing these symptoms should seek psychological counseling or psychotherapy.
