Dear Tony,

Hi, have you decided how to handle the final bills from the Ohio
building expenses? I must make an appointment with my dentist as I have
a tooth that is tender and I no longer have any dental insurance. I do
hope that I am soon approved for Social Security Disability, my doctor
says it should be approved but takes many months. As it is, Pat and I
are living off of her Social Security and I need to clear all accounts
and sell off my gun collection and camera equipment in order to buy
food, medicines and other absolute necessities. *Every cent of every
check that you have sent to me has gone into paying expenses incurred by
Felton and I must recoup those funds.*

I have the greatest confidence for your success and will do anything
within my power to insure that success. Please use my knowledge, I'm
always available for questions and ideas, there are a lot of things I
have already tried that didn't work and I have a lot of ideas for
products and processes.

Using the same application for email and newsgroups is just plain crazy.
Sooner or later you will end up 'oversharing' with the group . . .

If you don't mind, I'd like to interrupt a bit here and tell you that I once
heard two or three ladies talking about chewing-up about a half pound of
cabbage because of its painkilling effects. I think you should try it Tom. It
works.

Oh well, no big deal. One of my best methods for collecting old debts.

It's not bad, just a tinge now and again but I'm a firm believer in
keeping my teeth. I was just at the dentist 2 months ago with no
potential problems...and she likes to stay on top of things! I'll try
the cabbage, I like and eat lots of cabbage dishes.

I found out the best way to spur my buyer along with payments due is to
appeal to his better half. Legal speak digs his heels in and he finds
reasons for delays and this building has been a millstone but they
agreed to pay all expenses for months of toll manufacturing for them but
they are trying to pay all expenses from cash flow rather than financing
it or withdrawing it from reserves. I don't blame them, I would do the
same but I don't want to pay the building expenses out of my pocket. At
least the building is now leased and I still have the machine shop to
play in.

Also important, don't cook it. Just have it shredded and maybe with some black pepper, but that's it. It will be painful for maybe about 10 to 15 minutes, but you'll start to feel the pain go away about 30 minutes later. Maybe you have to go back at it about two or three hours later.

Yeah, when the insurance and rating companies see that your business has been billing a lawyer and accountant for at least a quarter (3 months), then insurance rates go down and nobody is scared to refer you or work with or get services from you. That's what I was saying to iggy. The rating agencies are everything these days

(and the first thing they want to see is lawyers and accountants hard at work for your place)

One thing the buyers insisted on was non-compete and protection
intellectual property. That was the most work for the lawyer because I
do work for other companies in my industry and the buyers don't want any
of the secrets they own now to lose potency. And, I certainly don't
want to go back into business and compete with them.

They didn't want the name, they are well known and they said there are
all kinds of legal problems to use the old name even though it's 135
years old

The machine shop is operating under the name of the holding company that
owns the land and building, using the same accountant and lawyer and
insurance people. But my insurance on the building doubled. You say
you thing that will settle down?

Will it settle down? i'd not even guess. that's exactly something to run by one of them. its something you might even think on. establishing a board of employees or friends. business is never a DIY!

Oh yes, the company holding Lisbon Industries has existed for over 75
years and has a board of six and three employees. The insurance company
claims the building is old, even though it has a perfect safety record
and is sprinkled and fenced in. Building insurance is not easy to come
by for old buildings.

Y'know, I keep waiting for one of these to show up that's a nice steamy
letter to the mistress, preferably a reply to an even steamier -- and
included -- original.

All I get are missed appointments, comments on dentistry, or similarly hum-
drum stuff.

I really need to find a more exciting group of people to hang out with.

"K-12 Fab Labs and Makerspaces" is a group in googlegroups.com and it has an absolutely GREAT number of women. You might like it there.
