"The FABO A-body for Somebody" - Wanna do it again?
Typical woman wanting to stand in front of an oven all day.
<kick>
Pete, you're always good for a laugh and a smile my friend ... it IS appreciated. You should have already figured out that I'm not "typical" by any means though. Besides, MOST women these days would rather do
anything
except stand in front of an oven all day (c'mon ladies -- back me up on this one LOL).
I love to do it because it allows me to hold my head up, gives me back a little of the pride that's been missing ever since Hurricane Katrina threw me a curve ball and changed my life, support myself, and turn old ugly parts into works of art that both the owner and I can be truly proud of. I very much love what I do ... I just wish I could do it more often, and you have no idea how much I despise writing all those emails that say my oven isn't big enough to coat your part. If business would ever improve such that I could pay my bills AND afford the big oven I need, it would be the best thing that could ever happen. I hate turning away business as much as ya'll hate hearing that I can't do it.
David and Mary are truly deserving and, if this next round of contributions are going anywhere, I agree that they could use the help. Who knows how long it will be before David is back on his feet? A little bit of caring goes a lonnnnnng way with this group, and they're obviously in very good hands with all of you.
As far as the free powder coating goes ........ you all know in your hearts that I try my best to treat you right and give you more than your money's worth when you hire me to work on your stuff. My comment WAS meant as a joke though, and I hope everyone realizes that. (Sometimes my depression gets the best of my lame sense of humor; I apologize if anybody got the wrong idea.) If something wonderful like that was ever to happen, be assured I'd definitely work with ya. :-)
