she has this grand idea of "selling the product" to other companies in
her line of work, outside of her area 120 miles, and i would get a
cut.  and im like, well, ok, thats cool, sure, but i could do the same
myself, and make 100% of the profit.  she claims that her knowledge of
this area makes the app that much better and that we can sell
it....anyway, im like, pay me $2500, ill not work on anything in your
area (For a specified amount of time) and if someone wants to purchase
our application, ill let u take the $2500 back over time, from the
profits of the sale, and go on, after that, we split 50/50 once she
has recouped the $2500.  but after month 24, the world is my stage,
and i can do what i want :)
