It IS possible! **faint**

[DianaB]

Now you've got my curiosity up!!! It sounds very interesting and I'm dying to know!!!!!

[judy]

Tink - give us a hint! I'm excited.

[Passionfruition]

Woohooooo! That's awesome. What a great feeling to have! I wonder that sometimes myself, and then last week I got all dishes, cleaned the kitchen surfaces, all my laundry AND all the Christmas decor put up in ONE day.

I wish I could be superwoman like that every day, haha.

[Tink]

I'm in negotiations with someone (who I have never met) who has a business (670 miles from me) that's near and dear to MY heart. I would help them to increase their business while earning some of what they sell in return. That's the first step of it...

So hmmmmmm what could it be?
What do they sell that I might want/need?
How could this work to the benefit of both of us?

I plan to then take what I get from them and add to a hobby I already enjoy some success with.


Anyone have any guesses? lol

[Janet]

Now you should know I can't think that good ( or is it think that well?)! You have a passion for so many neat things....something to do with flowers...gardening?????

[Tink]

Ooooh Janet, you DO know me... Good guess but not right.

[Janet]

Well, then, we need another small hint.

[Janet]

Tink:

I haven't been this excited since my cell phone got stuck on vibrate!"

Oh my goodness Tink...I just saw this!!! I'll be back...need to find my cell phone....LOLOLOL

[DianaB]

That's what I was going to guess too. Something with your flowers or gardening. Hmmmmm........you like to sew...........you like to decorate............you like to raise puppies...............Gosh, Tink, you are so talented it could be anything!!! Does it have to do with the glass thingies that you put together last year?............I guess that I'll have to wait until you tell us..........

[Tink]

In OCt of '06 there was a devastating fire at this business. While the building and some of the equipment were insured, the owners took a huge financial loss and emotional blow by what was destroyed. 10 yrs of work in building their business and improving their product went up in smoke.

Since then, the rebuilding has faltered and they've struggled to stay afloat. It's questionable whether they will ever really get back to where they were. Recently, one of the co/owners had an accident and broke BOTH ankles which obviously made it very hard to work and keep up with all that needs to be done on a daily basis. This is a 24/7 type of operation, so for one person to handle it alone is just a killer.

So I stumbled onto their product being advertised, contacted them and am now trying to help them to get things selling again. What they have that I want is something I already have, but in a different, more desirable size.

Any ideas? LOL There are several clues here...

That's what I'm thinking too Diana.

[Janet]

Is this mostly in Wisconsin? Something someone here in podunk Indiana would know about?...LOL

[Tink]

It actually happened in North Dakota... so until just recently I hadn't heard about it either but I dare bet it was rather big news in a few different circles when it happened. Very tragic.

Well, I tried doing a search and I don't have enough information. I must be dense because I don't see very many clues You sure got me, Tink!!!

So did I Diana. I googled North Dakota, fire October 2006. There was a fire that is spreading from one spot to another, I have no idea what they're talking about....BUT it did say something about websites. We know Tink is prolific at websites.
