    Had A Great Afternoon

    We have a casino www.7cedarsresort.com about 15 min from our house and I took LOML there for lunch today. We had a great meal and then proceeded to lose several $$ in the slots. On the way out LOML wanted to browse their gift shop, it is impressive. While she was browsing I asked the clerk if they might have a market for locally made pens, she called the manager out and they are now going to stock my pens.

    Try to take some of your earnings home though.

      It is great that they are going to stock your pens, but does your wife approve of your 'locally made mens'? I'd also imagine somebody has to wait, oh, 20 years for a men.

        Congrats on the new venue. I hope it doesn't take the fun out of it.

          Excellent! I hope sales are good, and that it leads to additional opportunities for you.

            COngratulations, Dick! Being at resort you can expect folks with more disposable income than say, a diner. Keep us posted on how that goes for you!

              Way to go. Pretty soon we'll all be able to say we knew you "when".

              If you can, try to just sell them their stock. Consignment is very easy, but has its downside.

                That's great news. Your pens are fine examples of art + craftsmanship. I know that you and the gift shop will do well.

                  The sales tax can get a little steep, too! Somewhere in the vacinity of 20 years collected from the seller.

                    Congratulations on the business deal Whaler. My advice is when you recieve a check... go straight to the nearest exit avoiding the slot machines.

                      I bet they're going to pay in chips.

                      That's great news Dick.

                        In the case of chips Richard.. my advice would change to "go straight to the cashier's cage.. cash out and then go to the nearest exit by-passing slots.. gaming tables.. etc." ha.. ha... ha..ha..ha..
