Hello everyone,
Some of you guys may have noticed that I haven't really been around for a week or two... Well here's what's been going on:
I recently shut down my main business (my bread and butter business for the last 7 years) due to steadily declining profit margins over the last 2 years. It finally got to the point that the business was no longer viable for me. So, I've been starting 2 new businesses. (One of them is actually one of my existing businesses that I'm propping up to replace the aforementioned business as my primary business) The work involved in getting them going has been wayyyy more difficult than I had anticipated. I've been putting in 16 hour days for the past 2 weeks straight. I haven't even gone fishing since my last report! My GF even went to the cottage without me! LOL Anyway, I still have some more work to do before I can return to my regular work schedule as I want to get everything running smoothly so that I can enjoy my summer!
On a side note: Some of the new members still haven't received their prizes yet. I also haven't mailed out the top posters of the month for May either... I ran out of prizes about three weeks ago due to an overwhelming response to our promotion. I was planning on re-stocking on a trip to the U.S. that ended up getting canceled. So, here is the update on the prizes: I'll be stocking up this weekend when I pick up the ROTM prize. That means that anyone who is still waiting for a prize or gift will be getting them next week. I have about 100 PM's to sort through from new members alone who are waiting for the new member gift
So, I'll be spending the whole day on Sunday preparing the packages. Don't worry guys, if you are owed a gift or prize you will be receiving it soon. Better late than never. lol
BTW, thanks Snypa for stepping in. Your help is much appreciated!
If you have any questions, I'll be checking this thread at least once a day until everything gets back to normal.
Cheers,
openfire
