Seriously, thanks for all of the phone calls and emails. I was taken back at the concern for my health and overall well-being. Thanks very much - it does mean a lot!! (If there was a little yellow smiley that was bowing in a grateful nod, I would put it here.) I didn't realize when I closed that everyone would think it was because of health issues. HEY, I'm not THAT out of shape!!

I am doing fine and all is well. I just really need a break and a chance to get settled in my new home. The bottom line (and/or final nail in the coffin so to speak) in deciding to close was the technology factor. Operating an Internet based business on dial-up and without a second phone line is close to impossible. I tried the satellite companies without success and there really is nothing to do but wait. The cable company says three months but I am hearing rumors of delays up to two years. So I decided to take a break. I moved here to lower my blood pressure, not send it off the charts!!!

I will be spending the next few months getting all of my inventory prepared for a BLOW OUT SALE at the convention. In the meantime, I'll be making numerous posts here (and possibly on ) offering chips for sale. After all, I have three mortgage payments due before the convention! I will also try and fill special requests.

Thanks,

Tyrus
