thanks my friends. This neighbour had known me when I was a few pounds thinner but I didn't think I deserved such a mean comment either. Especially since she has had 3 children in recent years and has not lost any of her baby pounds. I did not make any negative comments to provoke her. yes, I could stand to loose a few more myself but..

Thanks Sleepwalker. It wasn't the first time she said it. Yes, it does hurt, but she was telling the truth. My weight has always been a problem and I have to keep it in check everyday.
I guess it wasn't in check that day... LOL! ;D

First of all, contratulations on your new and exciting venture Smiley ! Smiley, the first thing I like is your incentive to buy $50 of goods or more because of free shipping for such orders! I notice that you have several items priced around $45 so that might encourage someone to upgrade a bit to get the free shipping and a higher grade product; or add a second item ! I like that you have a drop down menu with categories of items to browse through ! You've got the toll free number, Mon through Fri, which is excellent! If you answer email '8 Days a Week ' , you might promote that on the Home page; or specify that email and phone hours are the same (for instance)! I like the Backstage area for customer comments ! I might add some of the glowing comments in a sidebar of the Home page once customer feedback starts rolling in ! I'll try to look it over again because I know you are looking for a more critical mindseye ! Looks good !

You're welcome Smiley! Glad my internal sensor not to be silly was overruled and I posted that 8 Days A Week reference ! Glad you will be using that ! I can tell it is a 'Labour of Love' for you ! I think that's 90% or more of success; doing something you love ! I hope it was just what you need to move forward and you can look back at that recent unemployment episode as you having 'fired your job'. Of course, if one of these job opportunities works out, we wish you the best in that endeavor. I'm crossing my fingers that this business takes off for you, Peter Gabriel styled big time !

It was yesterday now, but I am really proud of the University of Alabama women's softball team battling back to win the final two games of a three game series with Stanford Friday to advance to the 8 team College World Series. The team was battling the demons of last year's #1 ranked team losing in shocking walk-off fashion on the last pitch of the game and not making the series last year! The nerves of playing in front of a packed house, 1 mile away from the scene of massive death and destruction from last month's tornado; and playing for the whole community in order to lift their spirits, was overcome by great grit and determination. Add your first national championship next week, alongside the Bama gymnastic's teams recent national title (5th overall)! Go Bama ! Roll Tide !

Great website, Smiley! Looks clean, very user-friendly structure. Your prices seem quite competitive as well. I especially like the photo of Kevin with all the fans reaching up to him, and the line "cause we play too." Best of luck with it!

You look fat? Thats ridiculous! believe me, Smiley, you do not look fat. I agree Uncleson! What a tactless and mean thing to say! Smiley looks just fine to me in all the pics she's posted! My wife, nephew and I have all met Smiley in person at several events, and believe me she is not fat. She is an attractive young woman in many ways. Youre right sleepwalker, that lady was just being a little mean.

Smiley, I wish I could give you some constructive criticism but I can't see anything wrong with your site! To be fair though I don't have much of a buisness mind and I'm not much of an internet whizz As far as I could see everything appeared to be clear, simple and too the point. I liked the way things were worded, it made it seem like a welcoming site run by friendly people As Holly and Uncleson said - great photo! I think the comment 'we playt too' was a nice touch As for prices I couldn't really comment, I don't play an instrument and have no idea how much these cases etc should cost! I pobably haven't been much help do I do wish you the very best of luck!
