She really likes the "!" doesn't she?

Nah, you've done your part. Leave her alone.

So Lisa, is your business striving or thriving? LOL :) We all make mistakes, but bad grammar is quite painful.

Ha...I had to laugh at the "striving" comment. Lately it's been more striving than thriving...how did she know??

Lisa, Great job on the email you sent her! Very professional and I bet you won't be hearing from her again.

Wow, she was quick. Here is her response. Should I email back and tell her she will look more professional if she proof reads and watches her spelling :) Oops...just fell off the side of the "high road"!! Ha!And Linda...can't believe I didn't invite her on here :) Maybe I'll save that for the next email...or not!**************Thanks Lisa!

Glad to hear your business is still striving in Macon GA! :) Your right, I really didn't mean to email ya; but at you see I was basically asking EVERYONE on my list and you just happened to be a part of that! :)

Oh, and I have even more good news! I am expecting in Jan 09' !!! We are very excited!

Thanks for the supportive wishes! :) K------
