I dream to meet a decent, kind and clever man!! It is difficult to tell about myself. If this is of any interest to you, write to me.My address – ramsdams@gmail.com I\’ll wait!! Kisses Elena

CG RESPONDS:

Hi Elena!! Your writing style – I like. To the point – you are. How I feel about that – happy. I live in America!! So you did meet a man or you’re still looking? Your mastery of present and past tenses – not great. We have men here!! They read this site!! E-mail you if interested – they will. Please wait!! Kisses Doug

kind regards

CG RESPONDS:

Not to nitpick but I’m kind of getting hung up on most of the stuff you said in the first sentence there. We’d surely love to get into the “digital photo frame with wonderful wooden frame around” market but I can foresee the following potential problems:

1. Your ability to read details carefully is wobbly at best as we have no store and our business record is either non-existent or at the very least “not good.”

2. There is no number two, really. I accidentally covered everything in number one.

No need to send a picture Felishia 3000. I know who you are. You’re Andre 3000‘s little sister, aren’t you? I agree with you that the distance of colour does not matter but love matters alot in life. I’m not exactly sure what that means but your brother’s got some pretty crazy lyrics so I’ll just nod my head and assume you know what you’re talking about too.

Also, per your request, I’d be happy to reply you with your e-mail address here. It’s felishia3000@yahoo.com

Hello Sally Straensky and good day to you as well. Your English is really great — I can’t even tell if you have an accent or not. At times it sounds like a small speech impediment but other than that you sound like you’re from the middle of Nebraska, which I understand is where most telemarketing companies are located because of the neutral accents.

Anyhoo, here are the answers to your questions.

1. No. We are a blog with no tangible goods or shipping processes.

2. No. We don’t sell Brand New! anything (except for words).

3. Yes, I think. Wait — no. I’m not sure what you said. I have a credit card. Is that what you want? And I have a debit card and a Paypal account. Your words bedazzle me!

4. Do I want to make business with you? Does that mean…um…you know? I’m tingly for some reason.

I Found The Easiest Solution To Your Financial Worries!

Hi Ms. Dawson,

Thanks for your e-mail. Your multi-level marketing jargon in points #1 and #2 really had a profound affect on me. It might be “effect” — whatever. The point is, I never really considered that instead of trying to increase my income to fit the size of my dream, all I’ve needed to do this whole time was just shrink my dream down to fit my income. Duh! I can’t believe I didn’t think of that before. You, Laura Dawson, are a genius. That actually did indeed turn out to be the easiest solution to my financial worries; stop wanting stuff.

Please add me to your dream-shrinkers group. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter. I also like your green .jpeg e-mail messages. They’re very soothing.
