    Thank you. As I stated in your original thread you had been given some great advise. YOU took the advise and found a way to use it.

    I am happy for you and thankful you have shared your results. What I hope is others here on the forum take notice that often the advise that has been given in the old threads is worth trying. Best to you, Mike

    HP: love that this happened. Just proves most advice here is right on spot. Those freebie folks would be laughed out of the bank or by any other professional company or person. More verification that we each can be a professional and as such a coalition of professionals.

    An Hypo..I made a few posts many moons ago on the joys of hotels. Dig them up or feel free to PM me. My other half is an AGM of one, so I know all about the fun of landing one as a client.

    Good job tho getting out there an landing the gig. Now go after all the others! A lot of them do change outs every year.

    Good luck on landings more..an don't sweat the small stuff.

    Well the new owners asked for two days to look at it, then I can get in there. They want a few things.....which is nothing compared to whats inside.

    Olddude: I love that: " a coalition of professionals" . It lends a perfect degree of validity to our career choice. Nice

    "All the girls say 'He's pretty fly for a white guy'"--originally written for SirScrapalot......according to him...

    Is this some sort of narcissist's self inflating scrap gasket? Would I be able to purchase one at the "Me Store"?

    Consider selling some of the stuff on eBay and Craig's List. Resale is usually higher than recycle. Plus, you can have them come and pick up their stuff while your collecting their cash.

    Located right next to the "OMG ITS GOLD!™" buckets.



    If you act now you can get three for the price of one! Share with your friends! Great for parties!
