Colleen,
If you're going to wack the rich Aussie girlfriend...at least wait until she's the rich Aussie wife

Hang in there and know that we're all pulling for you.
Cheers,

Boy I'll say....... I'm glad I decided to wait too, cuz now she wants to invest capital in my business

I'm just stopping by to say Hello, wishing all a Happy and Safe Memorial Day weekend. Hey Rich, you can come work for me, I'm a really good boss. TGQ offers a flexible work schedule, extended vacations, and pays in endless quantities of shaving soap, shaving cream aaannnddd bath soap.

Dweyne is back to work, light duty. Our orders are slowing back down to normal, shew! and all in the same breath. We are right in the middle of trying to refinance the house, the appraiser will be here in ONE week. I expect that after the appraiser comes, some sense of normalcy will return to this house. Currently there is a mad frenzy of painting, cleaning, weed eating and flower planting.....lol.

Guys, Thank you so much for your support and words of encouragement.

XXWarm Regards, Colleen

As tempting as that sounds I don't think I could afford to..

Glad to hear things are turning around..

Actually if I had my life to do over I think I would want to teach history at a College...

Good Morning Gentlemen,

Hmmmmm.....yes, it's been a while since I've been here, heavy sigh......I wish this was a good post, but I fear it isn't. Our Aftershave tests will have to be put on hold until further notice.

I wish I could say it was due to the "inquiries for 1,000/10,000 pcs of Desert Ironwood but it isnt'. All of you have come to know me pretty well I think, and you know I'm a hard worker, I have a passion for what I do, I'm OCD and a perfectionist by nature, so that's not the problem.

I'm afraid I've gotten myself into a terrible mess in my personal life...... I will just say this one thing, and I'm sure all will become painfully clear. My husband is a drug addict, he didn't start out that way, he wasn't like that when we got married......but ever so slowly.....the pain medication distributed to him as a patient at the pain clinic has turned into something far beyond any nightmare that I thought possible, this is directly related to his first ride in the ambulance and then his stay in the hospital for four days.

In order to protect myself financially, I will be seeking a divorce .....sooner rather than later......I go on Monday to speak to a lawyer. It's possible that I will have to have Dweyne committed in order to get him out of this house, because I have asked that he leave......numerous times, but he just won't go. I feel certain that the court would grant the committment due to the drug problem and his declining mental health and it would give me a safe way to get his things moved out of here and then file for a restraining order. But I suppose I'll be waiting to talk to the lawyer first, to see if he has a better idea.

If and when this happens......it will require a HUGE effort to move the soap business back over to this house, because I'll have to move 6 years worth of his stuff out of the basement first in order to have space to move the business back over here. I think it's safe to say that TGQ will close for a month.....maybe two.

I am very sorry for how this has affected what we have tried to accomplish here. Now......there's not alot for you to say here other than the usual "hang in there"......and I will......and I will see this thru somehow, with the Grace of God.

But for now......no more Aftershave

XXWarm Regards, Colleen

Wow!!!!!!! Just when I am starting to feel sorry for myself I see that someone else has a tougher situation. Well as you said hang in there, we are all in your corner. We will keep you in our prayers.

Oye vay...trying times, indeed.
I sincerely hope you make it through them unscathed.

Good Morning,

Yep, just a little hard to know what to say after that post aye! ..... In the course of the past year and a half the insanity of this house has just about cost me my business. I could just go and on, but I won't

I wish that the meeting with the lawyer was "yesterday" but hurry up and wait will do just fine. I suppose Monday will be here soon enough. West Virginia has "equitible property division laws" so even though I purchased this house in 97 ....and I was married in late 2001, and only my name is on the title deed.....doesn't matter....and I suppose he can claim half of my business too......Geez, I will NEV-errrrrr get married again. This is my first and last......

I've had plenty of time to lay out my plans for moving the business back over here, but due to financial constraints and the obvious problems of what it is like to live in the same house with someone who is suffering from addiction, mental health issues and physical problems to boot......well, it just creates havoc......and delays.

There's roughly the same amount of floor space in the basement here in my house as there is in the little house next door....it will need some work to get it lined out, but I'm excited about it......it's sorda like my one little thing to look forward to. I'm guessing that all the above ....will probably take me the course of the summer to pull my life back together.

But after that I have every intention of continuing on with the AS......afterall I've got $500.00 dollars worth of imported Italian bottles sitting here waiting to be filled with the best damn AS Balm/Emulsion to hit the market in a decade....LOL....at least that's "my attitude" ....don't worry....I still have "my sass"

Well.....so what's everybody doing for the summer ? Quite frankly I'd like to hear about somebody else, rather than me....

XXWarm Regards, Colleen
