Good morning ladies.
It was a long day yesterday, and a long evening as well. The sun is out, but very windy. Time to sit back and watch you kids play. I need to rest.

I'm having a sale today...I just put a big sign in the front window that says "THE ECONOMY SUCKS SALE!!"... Maybe this will work. I have to do something...George's company just changed hands, so we don't know what's happening with that...and Mama wants to make that house payment!!:-)

It's not easy right now P.S. Let's hope it turns around soon. Many small shops are closing around here, sad.

I'm afraid that's what we will have to do next...
Due 4/1: House payment, shop rent, quarterly taxes, and all that other stuff that the mailman feels the need to deliver everyday...:-(
And it IS happening everywhere, so no pity party here...just getting VERY desperate!! Well, maybe a pity party about my non-Bonaire trip...:-(:-(:-(

Jerry, it's pretty scary! Everyday we get up and just don't know what the day will bring, or NOT bring...Today, so far, it's brought news of the Dealership George works at not existing anymore...
Maybe I'll try that "goin' under my desk" thing for the rest of the day!!:-)

We're all in it together PegiSue. Keep the faith :-) Over the past few months, I had quite a few times where I picked up the phone just to make sure it was still working... and let's not even get started on the website!!!! It's picked up a little in the last month but it doesn't help that the president just cut funding to FEMA by more than $1 BILLION for the second year in a row.... not looking good for my customers :-(

Sorry to hear about George's dealership --- auto sales are really hurting right now.

Anyway.... we're right there with you girlfriend, keeping the faith and watching the sales go up and down!

We'll all get through!! You have a GREAT shop and you're doing something that you love - you can't go wrong!! :-) :-) :-)

Thank you for being here, together is better than alone!! I don't do this well alone... It'll all work out. Starting tomorrow is Stetson University Homecoming (college here in town), so that may be a good thing!!:-)

Hello everyone!

Congrats Freddie and Jerry! I just want to make 1k some day.

PS, glad you sold something, hope the roll continues...and not the cinnamon roll!

BH, that was just freaky enough that it made me laugh!!!:-)

Mara, got a squid almost done, and a "bookhouse" that is done (wooden house that holds books and the one that is being read sits on the roof to hold your place), I just need to get them on the website...sigh.....

Hi All! PS, hang in there...Boom, I think most businesses are hurting right now:-(

PS, tell George to hang in there and get the resume shined up...

when Michael was laid off twice in 3 years not too long ago, I know the feeling of not knowing if the morgage, bills, etc., will be paid...and the ex complaining about child support going down cause he was on unemployment!

But, boom said:

well said my friend...when I get down I think of Dennis, my colleague who is losing his battle with cancer...I'l take the alternative please...

Somehow I missed a few posts there, I think I was taking too long to type...

Boom, I believe that 100%!! And I have VERY good reason to...:-)

Brad, I have stopped with the cinnamon rolls and made more coffee!! Saving the rest for George, let him gain some weight!!:-)

PegiSue, sorry to hear about George and the dealership, that stinks, may he find a better one that is handling the economy crunch better soon. Economy really sucks right now. I am hoping by mid April when Spring hits, that it will start back up again.
Hang in there and keep painting!

Depends on what way you look at it, Jerry. Reality throws us all lemons at some time, been there too, it just depends on what we do to make it into lemonade! Let's all hope for a day of fresh lemonade tomorrow as that is all we can deal with: A day at a time. Friends also help make it a lot easier to make lemonade too! :-)

I am off to work, got called in early tonight. I was worried I was going to get thrown a lemon today when they called, but phew!, just more work to do, that's all.

Hello, Everyone.
Hope everything starts to look up for the economy soon. From someone who lived on powdered ice tea mix and popcorn for a week once, I don't like money issues.

If life gives me lemons, I just look for someone that life gave vodka.

PegiSue - Keep up your beautiful work - happy to hear you sold something today :-) It's always tough in the beginning with a new business - we've been there too! I just know George will find something - it's April and that's when things start to happen :-)

Hugs to ya

Big Hugs
