  Skinless pizza? School Start!! New pretties!! Other ramblings!!

  *drum roll please*
  
  It's a new blog!! Holy cow!! Brace yourselves!!
  
  Ok this is gonna be a quick trip over the past few weeks! Let's keep our hands and feet inside the ride at all time!! Keep facing forward and enjoy the ride.
  
  It is kinda long but I had a lot to cover!!
  
  Skinless Pizza
  
  Well my darling daughter for what ever reason has decided that she needs to remove the "skin" from her pizza before she can eat it. Now I am not sure why this has happened, BUT she is a skinless pizza eater. You give the child her plate and she will take her fork and remove the cheese and any other toppings from the pizza. She then removes most of the sauce then will eat the crust.
  
  Funny part of the story, she explained that she wanted cheese pizza. I said nah we will have sausage. She protested, stating that she would only eat cheese. I told her that she was just going to remove the "skin" anyway, I didn't see the big deal with having sausage. She looks me straight in the eyes and says "Because mommy I know it is still there"!! Gotta love the little darling.
  
  InBev & Budweiser
  
  So the whole InBev and Budweiser thing, has customers either really mad or pretty much in a "what ever" state of mind. They all know the big price increase is coming but just a matter of when. Well I got my increase last week and have been working on new pricing. The joys of it all I tell ya. So those of you who drink Budweiser should be seeing a price increase in the near future. I will take my chewing as I usually do and hand out cards to the distributors, they can vent to them because well I had nothing to do with it. Of course once Budweiser goes up so does Miller and Coors. Woo Hoo!! [/sarcasm]
  
  School Starts
  The first day of the public schools here started last week, my little man Blake is in first grade and the little darling Piper is in Pre-School. This should be a trip through the candy story.
  
  Blake goes off with no major problems the usual delays forgot this that or the other.
  
  Piper however is another story, we already have had the fits, the tears, the I'm sick, you know the usual. We are into the second week and today went well!! So for this I am excited.
  
  New Pretties
  
  So as you can see had a bit of a profile overhaul!! Sporting a new avatar and a new banner. I have to give kudos to Newbie for hooking me up!! I had the idea...she had the software!! So BIG HUGS!! To Newbie for helping me trick my profile in super stuDOG fashion. Pop quiz...can anyone tell what my favorite show is??
  
  New Drive Thru Window
  
  So most of you know that I own and operate a liquor store. Well in the great state of Missouri in my little college town we are allowed to have drive thru liquor stores...cool right!? Anyway we had to get a new window. Ours kinda broke!! So we had to custom order one to fit and slide the correct way!! Got it all installed and working like a champ. It is getting a great work out for sure!!
  
  College Returns
  
  College started back up today!! Yeah!! Good and bad!! Great for business but bad for the usual minors that have to try. Collecting fakes are my priority this year!! Gotta get em off the streets. We are considering buying an ID scanner, it verifies all the information on a drivers license. I have to find one that I think is a good deal and covers all 50 states!!
  
  Planning a Baby Shower
  
  I am gonna be an Auntie!! My little brother and his wife are expecting!! She is due in October, and having a bit of a hard time keeping the baby in. We know it is going to be a girl!! We are all excited. So my mother and I took on the task of throwing the baby shower!! Wow, talk about a full plate. Anyway, we are getting it done. That is this coming weekend and needless to say I will be glad when it is over!!
  
  That is about it for this blog I think. Thanks for stopping!!
  
  Deuces!!
  
  Later Taters!!

  ProblemEditor Profile up and running!

  Hello tv.commers...hope everyone is hanging in there!! We just had our first massive heat wave, with heat warnings pass. Heat index's were 110 and above!! Totally crazy!!
  
  Got something going on that I wanted to take a few minutes to blog about. I am not really an "official" blog person, but there is one site addition I wanted to make sure users see.
  
  We all know that at some point or another we have come across an editor that, well just wasn't cutting it. Either they simply don't know a guideline or well they are just flat out vindictive. The great staff here at Tv.com took some time to hear what we the users had to say, and created a profile just for this problem.
  
  *drum roll* Let me introduce...ProblemEditor!!
  
  This is the go to place for letting staff know there is a problem with an editor that you can't resolve on your own. Keep in mind that just because an editor rejects your submission because, well it was wrong, is not a reason to report the editor. However, an editor that is doing the things listed in the profile...those are the ones that need reporting.
  
  Think of it as going to court and you need to prove your case!! Now do yourself and the staff a favor, get as much information as possible. The more evidence you have the better off your case will be. If they are harassing you in the comments...KEEP those PM's. Don't delete them!!
  
  As always, I'm here if ya need anything. Shoot me a PM and I will help in any way I can.
  
  That is about it for this blog I think. Thanks for stopping!!
  
  Deuces!!
  
  Later Taters!!

  Yeah, I'm a day late and a dollar short...what is new!!
  
  Well, well...well...the third year birthday has come and gone. A lot has changed in the past year. My kids are growing, they will both be in school this year. Piper is just going into Pre-School but it still seems like it was just yesterday she was a little baby.
  
  Summer is upon us, the heat was behind this year it seems so it is just now getting hot. The kids are spending lots of time at the pool keeping cool. I go when I can, but time is still pretty limited.
  
  I guess the biggest news for business was the recent buy out of Anheuser-Bush. My best knowledge is that it was gonna happen one way or another. I guess in my business opinion, it was the smart choice. I mean who could not use billions of dollars. As shocking at it was, I guess the buy out was better than a hostile take over, which would of happened had they not sold.
  
  What are the good and the bad, for me, customers are beyond mad. So much so that die hard Budweiser drinkers are switching. I have customers that have been in my store buying Budweiser product, some times daily, for 2 years...walking a couple extra steps and buying Miller or Coors.
  
  Have you made any changes or will you?
  
  Well I think that will be about it. I don't have much else. I have shelves to stock and other things to do. Hope you all are having a great summer!!
  
  Deuces!!
