It's up to you be happy about just getting up and starting your day.<br /> <br /> Don't worry about what makes the rest of the world happy..they don't have to live in your shoes. Only you do... ;-) <br /> <br /> For the record, I agree with you 100%. The simple things in life should be what gives us our greatest joy.<br /> <br /> That's why some of my happiest days are when the only thing that goes righ in the day is that all of the socks that go into the laundry,come back out again. :-) <br /> I could care less what kind of socks they are.<br /> i'll give you change if you want it ;-) <br /> Becky<hr /><a name="a6204_7"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6204.7">#7</a>]<br /> 1 Mar 2007<br /><b>To: ALL</b></p> Man does not live by bread alone, but let's not loaf. :-) <hr /><a name="a6204_8"></a><p><b>From: LaZerDude (C_BURKE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6204.8">#8</a>]<br /> 1 Mar 2007<br /><b>To: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6204.7">#7</a>] 1 Mar 2007</p> <div class="quotetext" id="quote"><b>quote: </b></div><div class="quote">Man does not live by bread alone, but let's not loaf. :-)</div><br /> <br /> <br /> Oh My.

He has a "dude" ranch on one of the islands (I don't know which one as yet) and has access to almost unlimited amounts of wood. He wants to make items from the wood on the ranch to sell in his gift shop as souvenirs of their visits. I told him that you have laser equipment, but I'm not sure what else you have. He's interested in some CNC work - perhaps picture frames engraved with the ranch logo, or other items. I gave him your name and the name of your company. Will you let me know what other equipment you have that you might be able to work with him on?</p> <p>Thanks, I appreciate your help.</p> <p>Nancy Laird</p> <hr /><a name="a6204_21"></a><p><b>From: laserlady</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6204.21">#21</a>]<br /> 3 Mar 2007<br /><b>To: laserlady</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6204.20">#20</a>] 3 Mar 2007</p> <p>Back on topic:</p> <p>My deceased father-in-law use to respond to the question "How are you feeling?" or "How to you feel" with the response:</p> <p>"With my fingers."</p> <p>He had bone cancer, prostate cancer, diabetes, emphysema, pernicious anemia, and a heart condition!
