I don't recall at any time receiving any telemarketing calls from a firm marketing lamps. I believe we might have the core for a very lucrative business, as long as Mr. Bagnino is able to provide reasonably priced Cuban Lamps.

    By the way - do you think you might be interested in marketing those wonderful clocks you create? I'm thinking we could not only market lamps (possibly cigar logo lamps), but we may also want to consider marketing cigar logo clocks as well.

    Just a thought! I'd love to hear what you think about it.

    Thanks!
    Well it was a shot in the dark (the on-line lamps) since I haven't seen hide nor hair of SmileyWilly in I can't remember how long.

    Ya know George, you might be on to something, my guess is Mr. Bagnino not only has connections to vendors with Cuban cigars, he must know some Cuban lamp vendors as well. The way the Canadian government taxes the living crap out of us up here in the Great White North, I'm always looking for a way to save some $$$.

    You also have an interesting suggestion regarding marketing the clocks. Seeing as how I have a lot more time on my hands these days, I was seriously thinking of stepping up my production of those clocks we've discussed in the past. There are a whole lot of fishermen up here in Nova Scotia that have a lot of time on their hands here in the winter months so we've got the manpower to step up production on a moment's notice but marketing our products has always been our Achilles' heel. Have you noticed the recent increase in Latin-American (or in my case Latin-Canadian) people around these parts lately? I sure have. You would think that Nova Scotia wouldn't be a prefered destination of Latinos but I tell ya, Spanish is fast becoming the "second" language up here, replacing French faster than those Quebecians can even imagine!

    I think we need to set up a meeting on this in the immediate future. Please let me know your availability and if you have any "outside the box" ideas on marketing my clocks, I'm all ears!

    Sure, George and Bill come in and kick this newbie to the curb. I asked about his hook-up for cigars first.......and now you bastids not only take that, but move on to the clocks and lamps. Selfish bastids.

    YO Dick, I do lots of political consulting work that includes phone polling and "Get Out The Vote" phone calling. If I come down to Costa Rica for a consultation, do I get to have a personal meeting with this drop dead beauty?



    Se sure got the attention of both of my dogs while I was checking out your website earlier:



    Is she single?

    Not a problem.

    I must say that she is strictly business and runs the show here.

    So a romantic dinner and a midnight walk on the beach is out of the question then?

    I know that she would appreciate the compliment.

    Unfortunately, she never mixes business with pleasure. That is why she is so highly sought after to help run large organizations. I am sure that you would understand.

    Okay, I'll do business with another telemarketing company then.

    Here's something I found on your website that you may want to fix:

    Our BACKUP GENERATOR is capable of supplying full power to our entire infrastructure for as long as the outside power fails. The 45KV Propane Power Plant starts to supply stable power within 30 seconds of a power failure. The multiple UPS’s installed provide the power until the generator starts.
    Don't you mean "KW" not "KV?" Unless of course you plan on doing mass electrocutions down there.
