Today was the day of reckoning that I had been afraid to face, sitting down with the new bookkeeper to see where we stand, to see just how deep is this hole. Well, all i can say here is that red is the color of the year! It is such a clustermuck of a mess, from the transition to netsuite and back to quickbooks added to the turnover in the office throughout it all. In light of this discovery, we'll put coral on sale for a while at 40% off - let everybody see some red can look good, as well as help us work our way out of this hole. Thanks to everyone's response to the open letter, we were able to use the proceeds to make some progress with the banker who holds the note on our building today. We came up with a plan where if sales continue over the next month, we'll be able to catch up on our interest for the year so far, that's so much better than it looked last week. Thank you!

Hey Kids HANG IN THERE IT WILL GET BETTER!
All of us are going through some pretty rough time right now, but together we can pull through and be even better than before :)
God Bless and many Angel Huggs

Hi,
I certainly hope things improve for you soon.
I am a long way away, in Australia, but I still care!
I like getting your emails and special offers.
I have had great rocks at great prices from you, with fast delivery to Australia. I will always reccommend you to others.
I will buy again soon...
The other website I am involved with is http://bead-database.org. It's about beads of all kinds throughout history.
cheers, Angela

I wish I could make the world better with words.
Am definitely hoping the very best for you and the whole family.
I've always felt that Rock N Rocks was always one of my very best sellers. You always had the best items at the best prices. And I'll be looking at you first for whatever I wake up thinking about at 2:00 a.m. as a "must make". I'll be back to shop again this weekend too.
Be good to yourselves. Be patient with life. Be happy with each day that comes along. It will all work out for the best. That sounds a bit like mysticism, but I truly believe in karma. What goes around, comes around. You've always been fair and true in your dealings. You've always been honest and have offered the best you have. That will be returned intime.
Keep your head up and keep going. You're an inspiration. (Now I'm going to go to your website and shop a bit)

Definately hang in there. You have been so fair and good to us we won't abandon you. As for not having insurance please take a look at www.mybenefitsplus.com/ and in the blank box in the middle of the page add 40588625. It sounds like you need the third plan...both medical and dental and will ease your mind in the future. I offer this, even though it is not asked for but because I really care about you guys and all the folks who do not have proper health coverage!
God Bless Y'all!
