My most sincere congratulations Jim. Don't let Panzzers blaming your company for the trade with China deter you. That's a lucky outfit to have your contribution.

Actually P you got that wrong. We don't ship anything overseas. Everything gets put on a truck or train car and sent to a converting facility in the USA

. Some of our paper goes all the way to Ca on a train car.

If you are up to date on your Paper Science you would be able to tell the difference between paper Made in the USA and paper Made in China. The Chinese paper is a little different color. We use 100% recycle as our raw material. You know how much certain greenie types like to tell ppl how great that is but you would not believe how much trouble it is to get that plastic out of that paper. Think about the last time you removed a tv from a box. What did you do with the plastic? I'll post a pic one day

.

Next time you wipe your arse thank a papermaker

I will become more and more selective on what I work on from here on but you can bet I will continue to maintain the company CEO's 05 CLK and his wifes X5 (he lives in Baton Rouge, La.). Whenever it needs service he lines up a trip to the mill.

I'd never have guessed.

Do you also service his wife?

Nothing like a good lube job to keep em coming back for more. I maintain a professional relationship with the CEO and his wife

.

I plan to only service my customers that drop the car off and indicate what they want to be done and don't inquire about the pricing. The days of dealing with folks driving Mercedes and BMW and asking how much is an oil change are gone for now

So hookers are not professional?

Why is that? Do YOU ask for pricing? I know I shop so I can't say that you cannot shop since I do the same.

So how much more, percentage wise is this job worth? Is it worth moving?

I ain't moving. It is a promotion in the mill that is about 17 miles from house

. Mostly interstate with two stop signs. 37% pay bump

. I am finally making more than the wife (#2).

That is huge.

So your mooching days are over?

And when you get paid and if I need money, remember, we are BFF and have been friends since High School. Our kids played together since young too, old friend.
