I live in MidWest, USA and there is nothing exotic about it. Do not get me wrong, I love the rolling green hills, blue sky and even the cold winters and hot summers. But I absolutely love the clear blue waters of the Bahamas, the rainforest and the Fruit. Yes, the Fruit.

I bought some mangos on sale at the grocery store yesterday and had the ripest one for lunch today. They are just yummy - every bite tastes like sunshine. I have no idea what season is mango season, so when they stop appearing on the produce shelves, I will be pretty sad. I wish there were a way to keep mango in storage all winter long - I would stockpile them to eat one everyday.

I guess it is like they say The Grass (or in this case, the mango) Is Greener On The Other Side.

I do not have room for a 50-foot inflatable bounce house-obstacle course-slide Tyrannosaurus in my basement.

You may be wondering why anyone would need a gigantic dinosaur and how one could come across such a monstrosity. Well, you can actually rent such a beast.

My husband and I checked out the cost of renting a T-Rex for my two young sons Birthday Party this weekend. The cost is a lot higher than what I was guessing, so I am debating the rental fee versus a few extra dollars to buy something similar myself.

Of course, I could not buy a 50-foot T-Rex. Where would I keep him? And how much food does a dinosaur eat anyway? Ok, that was a bad joke, but seriously there is no extra storage space in my garage as it is, so purchasing a HUGE dinosaur is out of the question, even if the cost of buying is about the same as renting.

I can see how these rental businesses can quickly turn around and make a profit, but how much demand is there for overgrown lizards?

Perhaps I will start a side business purchasing huge items and offering them for rent in my local community. I could rent a storage unit to keep them. Anyone could do the same by renting a London storage unit or unit from wherever your local self storage community may be.
