And yes, there are a few ducks in there aswell, they lay very very rich eggs.

Been some really weird weather as of late.

  Ive also taken care of all messages, letters and tickets, so if ive missed something that you need to talk to me about, feel free to let me know.

been a busy week to be sure.

  Been working like crazy here, and starting to get some of the backorders cleared out so I can get on a regular work schedule.

  As soon as I get the older ones out, I will start working on the toys in the order they were recieved.

[Brownbear]

Well, the bear is finally back again

  I was redoing some of the damage the fire caused here at my shop awhile back, and reworked the plumbing so I would have water inside again, but of course I bumped a pipe that had all of my wires going coming in and discoverd that my net connection and phones went out :/
So ive been working on toys and trying to get them going again, and now I have the net restored, but the phones here are still out.
So if you call during business hours, I wont be able to pickup. Just wanted to let folks know why I hadnt responded to letters or emails as of late.

  If you have sent anything to me recently, I will be responding to e-mails the next few hours.

Sorry I have been away alot as of late folks :/

As many of you know, I have been in and out of the hospital as of late with a sick mate :/
Well we finally found out he has a heart valve that just doesnt work anmore, so he has congestive heart failure.

We are discussing either heart surgery, or medication for it, and well see how that goes.

A few days ago, I found out my uncle has stage 4 lung cancer, and isnt expected to live to winter.

And to top it all off, I was backing my truck up abit and heard a klunk noise under it, then a whine and I started rolling forward, so now my only form of transportation is dead :/
Luckily it has a warrenty, so yesterday it was hauled off to the shop.
I was told they would get to it in about 2 weeks, so for now I am reduced to begging for rides from my neighbor.

I am talking to the postoffice right now to see if they are able to drive down here and pickup the orders I have ready to ship, but no word back as of yet.

Just seems like its one thing after another here..

But there is some good news aswell...

I had heard a few folks were getting unhappy with the extra texture that was on some toys, so I went back and redid the molds for all silicone toys, so now every toy will be just as in the pictures, plus we should have a few suprises on the furst of next month
And I also found out that the garage that is fixing my truck also works on fords, so as soon as my truck comes back I am having them haul down the used ambulance I bought a few years back to get it fixed, so there will be no reason I cant make shipments again.

  I just wanted to thank everyone for their emotional support here, and especially for your patience here.

Here's rooting that your mate will recover speedily.
Triple YAY...!!!
YAY for surprises..!
And YAY for my Timber wolf being made with the natural texture I love so much from the pictures...
And YAY... to see that you're BACK!!!! *hugs the Bear*

[katamukiryuu]

glad its working out, and good luck with your mate

[knotme]

Wow, bear sometimes when it rains it pours.  Sorry to be hearing of your uncle too, and then losing your truck.  The silver lining though is they will pick up the mail for now to help you out.  So good to hear about that, and sorry about your mate and uncle.  You will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.

[Brownbear]

yea, now I just need to get some graphics done for the side of it before I take it to a con

but id have no idea what to do at one, as we have never been

  Again, I want to thank you all for the kind words and well wishes.

one time i actually had someone passing out like tickets to go to a private room where they were showing off/selling toys, they had a person checking ids i think, i didnt go myself but someone did tell me about it. if you were selling or trying to, the other option would to just set up curtains and make sure no one comes in without the badge check in the dealers area.  but i just like going to cons to see old friends and such

I was told they would get to it in about 2 weeks, so for now I am reduced to begging for rides from my neighbor.

WOW! Two weeks? That place must be really backed up! Here's to hoping that it gets fixed quickly and not TOO expensive either! *fingers crossed*

Again, thinking of you, Bear! You hang in there!

It sounds like it! I'm so sorry for all your troubles, Bear. I hope things start looking up soon!
