Tell me something GOOD that happened to you today. - Page 145

I got 28 orders for my new book!   :)  It's a pictorial book about Dorchester County, MD ("God's Country"). $20 a copy (signed). Here it is:

That is great news Funky Feathers!

Congratulations, Funky Feathers!

Congrats! That's really great news.

For me....... 2 things... At gun club I got a bullseye dead center, and now I have lemon merengue pie to eat.

I fired up the bators today to get the temperature regulated then sat down for three hours and watched chicken TV ..... life is good!

Today was in a way a simple day. A friend and I went grocery shopping together and had pizza for lunch.  After knowing each other for each other for nearly 25 years we can still find stories we have not retold each other umpteen times.  It was a very fun trip.  

I called in sick, and there are eggs peeping and pipping right now in my kitchen.

Cough, cough

Gee, I wish I could make a living selling chicks, so I wouldn't have to work a real job.

Sigh.

I have a presentation to get ready for, for a patent application. 

The meeting will involve the owner, his son (also an owner) and the salesman.... and beer.  My doohickey is a bottle opener and it's really cool :)  Hopefully everyone will be laughing by the end.  I have some good comedy to use up.

Yesterday, we laid off a LOT of people.  Reliable, hardworking folks who have been with us for decades, saw the door yesterday.  Several of them speak almost no English.  There's not much you can do to help that kind of person.  I am certain if I lived in a foreign country, I'd be pretty able to get along, in less than a year.  After 20 years, people might not know I am not from there.

Hopefully this part will get some of them their jobs back. :/

Good luck, Nitrous!
