PB = Pure bred? I would not trust chicks to be pure bred, though, if the breeder can't spell the breeds.

Exactly!!! After reading the ad with incorrect spelling, I just knew that PB meant something else because there is NO way possible he knows anything about chickens or breeds. I never imagined pure bred.

I will give double your money back on any fake tools I sold you (Des Moines)

Sorry to put this here, but I want to make amends for any misdeeds that I have done.

If anyone bought what I described as a "brand new" Dewalt 18 volt tool from me and it was either fake or not in perfect, brand new condition when I sold it to you, I will give you double your money back.

I have been accused of doing that and I want to make it right.

Take your tool to the Dewalt repair store on Merle Hay Road. If they are willing to certify that is it fake or was refurbished, E-mail me at the address you used when you bought your tool.

If it was defective when I sold it to you, we will make arrangements to have it fixed at absolutely no cost to you.

I can make this offer because I have never sold any fake or seconds or reconditioned or defective or anything else. That would be dishonest and I won't do that.

OK, I am hoping these are goats or rabbits, not dark-skinned male human babies?
