Maybe I need other interests. Say an interest in homemade Pyrotechnics, or Go-Cart racing, or repairing surfboards. Perhaps an interest in perfumery, or formulating ice cream, or improving my health through dietary supplements, or aroma-therapy.
Buying stuff is kinda hard right now. It is spring time, maybe I should go down to the paint store, and look at solvents, and strippers for that big painting job I been putting off.
Then, after a while, I'll think about rechroming some stuff on my old car. maybe I'll even try to plate some stuff with something exotic, like gold or platinum. And, I'll go around and talk to a chemical supplier, and we'll talk about old cars, and has he ever done any electro-plating from non-cyanide solutions. And, I'll offer him a whopper, cause I bought three, just a minute ago, but now I can only eat one. Or, maybe I'll offer him a few of these really great oranges, I just bought. And, if he's amenable I'll buy a little Silver Nitrate, or Gold, or Chloro-platinic Acid. But, only if its not a problem. And, I'll ask for a catalog. And, I'll come in a few times, and I'll buy a some innocent things. I'll laugh and tell jokes, and be friendly. And, It will be really easy for me to friendly, because I like people.
And, I'll have a friendly, local, chemical supplier. Its really not a scam. Its business. And, I'll never ask him to do anything even slightly questionable. I'll Let him deal with S...A.
He's off the hook, who could suspect the old-car buff is a criminal? How can they know the company I start later on, is just a front.
Fact is, maybe I won't need to start a front company, maybe my hobbies provide all the chemicals I need.
Who knows? Maybe I'll really get interested in one of those hobbies, and discover it is more profitable than being a bee.
Being a bee usually passes, learning how to make a friend sticks with you. Oh, and yeah, if I ever need him, I'll have a friendly, local, chemical supplier.
Try small companies, you will get a warmer reception. They actually welcome your business.
In some states, an interest in fireworks or explosives was once considered an OK introduction. If you are a little strange, this is for you. I don't know if this is still a viable approach. But, it is a thought.
Back to the subject. You cannot approach S A safely. Even established companies and Universities struggle. Likewise... V...W....R.....Leave well enough alone, unless you are very experienced, you will be at peril. Try to Build a walk in relationship with a small company. Let them deal with the big boys. Be confident but careful. Usually, the worst that will happen, is that they will reject you, humiliate you, and spit on you. And, Perhaps write down the liscence plate of your car. Since, this is exactly what your ex-girl friend did to you, and you will be driving her car, you will be fine.
